Someone at work was trying to impress some Japanese girls we work with and bragging about how they went to a Japanese restaurant and slurped ramen loudly, because it's respectful and a compliment to the chef. I just sat there thinking "Yeah..... I won't say anything..."
-
until this day, i finally found out what that pointy tooth in anime characters was! ><
-
that article should be called “How to embarrass yourself in Japan”
-
I am half Japanese .People in my class think I am Chinese and they also think China and Japan are the same place. Is this just me...?
-
I live on an Island full of rabbits. It's called Australia.
-
i think in america it's become popular to sort of exagerate and romanticize these cultural differences because people are so fixated on the idea of foreign things being strange and quirky.

Foreigner:looks at chef starts slurping noodles Chef : JUST EAT YOU’RE NOODLES
-
You can shower while sitting on the toilet? Sign me up.

4:00 Rachael: "If those stick out then that can be considered cute" Jun grins
-
just seeing the thumbnail i was like “oh no” ITS 9 G A G
-
Rachel: "I know this because of The Simpsons." Me: "Literally same."
-
learning to clean up after yourself should be normal and is a great idea. teaching kids how to live in the world is great, knowledge alone will not get you everywhere.
-
Jun: in his cute forward monotone voice It looks really MAGICAL.. talking bout a hotel you'd bring someone for the sole purpose of sleeping wit them
-
Years later, I'm back at this vid and I still laughed at "Jun, Jun-Sensei" laughs "Hai"
-
You know, the idea of having a bathroom and a separate toilet room doesn't sound half bad. I wouldn't have to worry about getting water on the floor.
-
I really cant stand the moral high ground of these articles. Normal doesn't exist, it differs per culture.
-
10:57: Where people don't leave their room... "I can totally see myself not leaving my house" People in 2020: hikikomori

"Japan's literacy rate is nearly 100%" This, I actually can comment on. The Japanese government defines "literacy" as the ability to read Hiragana and Katakana, since technically the Japanese spoken language can be written using only one or the other (or both) of these. Going by this definition, I would be considered "literate" in Japanese, which I definitely am not. Hiragana and Katakana are very easy to read and write, much more so than English. However, there are about 2000 Kanji recognized by the government as also necessary to functionally read Japanese, but aren't counted as "necessary" to constitute literacy.
