We called emergency rescue
They said 'We will rescue you in 10 minutes' for about 3 times but then
a fart made us all escape.
That is possible. What do you say?\
I am too scared!
Hey guys and girls it's your.....? Hey I am here.
Hey guys and girls it's your flashy fashion reporter CathyCat
Today we are gonna hit the streets of tokyo and ask the boys here what culture shocks they had
when they either dealt with foreigners or went abroad so let's find out what kind of stuff
might shock Japanese people when they come to your country and ask Japanese boys
Have you been abroad?
Once - Where?
For our school trip we went to Australia - Melbourne
Your first ever trip abroad! What shocked you there the most?
On the side of the street there was... a kangaroo corpse....
We just drove past a dead kangaroo
It was a great place, but we got stuck in the hotel elevator for an hour
We couldn't get out
You were stuck inside the elevator for an hour? - Yes
Why?
Never found out. Some malfunction - Were you alone?
5-6 people - How did you get out?
After one hour, one of the boys farted in the elevator...
We wanted to air the elevator out a little, and realized we could open the doors
We opened the doors and got out
Thanks to his fart, you escaped - Exactly
We tried to call emergency help
They said ' We will rescue you in 10 mins ' for about 3 times but then
Thanks to the fart we all got out
What surprised you abroad?
I got ripped off - With what?
I wanted to buy a toy, I was just a middle schooler
And they totally ripped me off
What was it? - One of those snappy wristbands
They charged me 3,000 yen (25 dollars)
THAT IS A RIP-OFF
I bought something abroad I really didn't need
Overpriced - So much
You have never been abroad, but what surprises you about other countries?
Anything that shocked you?
Shocked? I think hemp is legal up to 5 grams now.
5 grams. You know some details
I envy that
That surprised me and also...
people fire their guns in the air on new years. It's forbidden now.
- What story is that? - They fire it in the sky
Those bullets fall back down from the sky and people die from it, they say
What country is that? - USA
Wild right
I heard something new today
You said you have never been abroad
What news have ever surprised you about abroad?
If a manga character in Japan smokes, in America it will be changed
I was surprised in the US they change it to candy
What do you mean? - In One Piece Sanji smokes in the Japanese version
In the US they change the scene to him sucking on some candy
It made me realize they are so much stricter with Tabaco than in Japan.
True. But weirdly in US tv shows, we see teens drink alcohol though they are not supposed to. - Right
I think some Americans are watching
Please comment and let us know about this right now
What has given you a culture shock about abroad?
In Japan we all wore masks to protect the society during the corona pandemic.
But looking at other countries, they didn't really wear masks
And right now many don't do it anymore too
Japanese people are very sensible
- protecting everyone - we try to protect everyone
I am surprised how much more skin foreign women show
And men too, they wear tank tops instead of tshirts
men and women show a lot of skin
surprised me
What surprised you?
I saw someone wear something, that as a Japanese person was very daring
Have you experienced a culture shock?
I love raw egg but many foreigners do not eat it!
Many foreigners seem to dislike raw egg!
Thats where I felt a culture shock
Can you eat raw chicken?
Raw chicken? If it is safe to eat I will eat it
Can you eat raw horse meat too? - Totally
You like everything - I like experiencing new flavors
Instead of thinking 'This is yuck' I think of it as 'this is a flavor I am not familiar with'
There is nothing I cannot eat
Anything foreign you always wanted to try?
Things like stinky tofu and Surstromming
I never had the chance to try
I might not be able to eat those
Have you ever tried Durian?
I tried Durian... I could not eat it...
What surprised you about abroad?
I like horror movies
In Japan the enemy are ghosts and spirits, abroad it generally seems to be the devil
Nicely spotted. Yeah abroad there is more devil - Right
Which horror do you prefer?
I prefer foreign horror
Which one?
The Conjuring
That was fun
What is your culture shock?
Abroad highways do not have a speed limit
That is different in Japan. That shocked me
Germany is known for that
In some places you can drive our your car to the max, at the speed you like.
You can see how fast your car can go.
Whatya say
That is scary
On Japan's highway we can already drive so fast (max limit 100km/h)
That is already fast, but anything faster than that is just scary. What a shocker.
You've been surprised about lady showing skin?
Some girls wear shorts that are really short
Some Japanese girls might do that too, but not that many
Foreigners are all so short. it shocked me
Shock
You shoot a gun into the air?? Is that a thing???
I thought this is the stuff from movies
Can you guys please explain?
Are those legit things that people do in the USA?
Cause I thought this is just movie stuff
Please let me know the truth
That sounds very dangerous
Maybe they used to do that and they dont do that anymore. Just tell me they don't ok?
Please
