Is it possible for me as a Indian to persure bachelor in data science in a public uni in japan i have completed my high school, and if do i have to take a test like imat , gre

Bummed that I missed the live stream! My son is a senior in high school and is interested in attending University in Japan for Geology & Paleontology.

I lived through two summers (2023, 2024) in Yokohama. My conclusion is that an AC is a must.

I agree with a lot of what’s stated here. Growing up in Hawai’i, I’ve thought a lot about the differences between Hawai’i, the West-US and E. Asia-Japan. I can’t help but think the U.S. has the luxury of attracting talent from across the globe, leveraging its vast land, resources, and wealth to afford the costs of diversity. Historically, the land and resources of the U.S. were obtained relatively easily, whether through revolt against the British Crown or at the expense of Native Americans. In a way, Americans can sell something that they didn’t labor to obtain in the same way human populations would otherwise be required to naturally take tens of thousands of years to expand and develop. Had the U.S. evolved naturally over such a span, its demographic structure, history, notions of freedom, diversity, and ethnicity would look very different-perhaps resulting in a more stratified society with deep historical roots. The rapid acquisition of land and resources has led to ideas of freedom that are less bound by the long, organic processes that typically shape civilizations over millennia. The U.S. benefits from an extraordinary combination of natural advantages: navigable waterways stretch from the Great Lakes and web through vast unpopulated fertile flat lands, immense tracts of farmland, food security, a stable climate, oil reserves, and rich deposits of metal ore. Additionally, the land is largely tectonically stable. Even if the worst predictions about climate change come to pass-farmland could naturally shift north and expand into Canada. It could even be a boom to US-Canada as it may open vast new territories and trade routes to the north - And perhaps allow the US access to the vast wealth of North Eurasia. These factors give the U.S. a significant margin for error. An abundance of resources and energy allows America to tolerate inefficiencies that would be far costlier in less resource-rich nations. It can adopt a more liberal approach to culture, science, and industry, while experimenting with new ways of living (Protestant cults, Mormonism, the Amish, Californian hippie cults and lifestyles). The society can absorb the costs of corruption, individualism, parasitism, free-riding, and the erosion of metaphysical commons like the violation of social trust and the family unit (i.e. accepting foreigners. Or, expanding one’s own group identity to include the potential damages that an out group might incur on your own kin.). These inefficiencies, which would cripple less well-endowed countries, are manageable in the U.S. due to its substantial resource base. In contrast, countries with fewer natural resources, like Japan, cannot afford this luxury. Without abundant space, oil, or metal, nations like Japan have to be more accountable for their actions. There's less room for error, and parasitic behaviors-those that don’t contribute to the survival of the whole-are perceived as a serious burden. Hawai'i is a case study of what happens when a resource-poor nation encounters a powerful one. It lacked the raw materials, energy sources, and cultural infrastructure to resist U.S. influence, Genetically, the upper class in Hawai'i has left the islands, or miscegenated to the point of no longer self-identifying with the remaining Kanaka population (which is often homeless, drugged, inbred, dependant on an occupying military for employment and protection, performance clowns in the tourism industry, or real estate agents selling their own people’s land.) Without the ability to harness resources and project physical force, Hawai'i’s people and culture were unable to sustain themselves against external pressures. Growing up in Hawai’i, I appreciate diversity in my personal life. But I wouldn’t wish it on another population. I’ve never really understood why people in Hawai’i don’t understand this. Perhaps being reliant on federal aid, military, and tourism money, and having poi-dog mentality corrupts one’s intuition and leads one away from a philosophical understanding of ‘nature’. Well, there's a lot to be explored here. For any country to emerge as a global leader, it needs to secure sovereignty, resources, and advanced technology-For Japan, this is a challenge reminiscent of its struggles during the world wars. The only way to achieve these goals without adopting an aggressive stance toward other nations is through obtaining these resources in unclaimed territory. Deep-sea mining or space mining, while farfetched, are really the only options. To succeed at this, Japan will need to leverage robotics, automation, and AI. As the world stands on the brink of a technological revolution a large portion of the global population will be useless and require something like UBI to survive. No matter how I look at it, I don’t see how notions of diversity or ideas about freedom from a place like the U.S. or the west are really useful for Japan or any resource poor island country. The world is about to change so much and, personally, I can’t help but think Japan’s animistic roots might be more effective in navigating through this new future than american or abrahamic ways of thinking.

Mike,..... Seems to beg the question... Why should international students come to Japan, pay a cheaper cost, but get a sub-standard (waste of time) education? You get what you pay for, right? I understand what you are trying to say but thinking about the international students.... Kawaiso! Mottainai! It is up to the Ministry of Education along with the Universities that must...must...change first, then appeal to the international students to make it a valuable experience to study in Japan. If they don't any complaining about lack of internationalization is just 風に小便

Mike, my son is in the SILS program and just this semester is starting his year abroad in Virginia. Be interesting to see what he thinks of SILS versus USA classes after his first semester is completed.

Does this include private universities too?

Japan was way ahead in the 80s and early 90s.. it was due to overtake the US.. then the big bully made Japan sign the plaza accord to open up.. the massive bubble it creates eventually became the downfall of Japan.. to even begin to recover.. Japan needs to ditch the big bully Al Capone USA the collapsing Ponzi scheme economy and side with the rising multipolarity world of a growing new power.. surely this is not difficult.. Japan needs to gain its sovereignty..

You can hand the bike in at the end. There are about 6 cycle shops en route, so id say they've improved. Luggage was forwarded on by the hotel. Brilliant service all round.

I’m an interior designer and avid bath taker in California. I’m pivoting my work towards specializing in bath design and construction. This was so fun to learn how the Japanese view bathing as an art form and a true self care activity! ❤❤❤

I've owned my fuzzy logic for 20 years, maybe time to upgrade to an IH?

Couldn’t you wait until your recover a bit more from the eye surgery? It looks painful😢

Hi Mike, I could not understand why Japanese people cannot speak English after 6 years of study in Jr high and High school. Soon after I started working for one of the big English schools in Japan I began to understand that part of the problem was the fact that the after schools do more entertaining than actual teaching, focus too much on grammar, which is boring, and pass the students to the next level even when they fail. I wanted to know more about what goes on in the Jr high and High school classes for English learning. So, I interviewed native teachers and Japanese teachers teaching English classes in the Japanese system. Again, I found that they put most of the class time into learning English grammar. Very little time was put into reading, speaking, and communicating in English. Soon after that I put together some of my own ideas and learning methods to develop a dialogue practice based on the books that were used the most in the after-schools, and experimented with two of my private students. One student was 5 years old and his sister was 7. I let them advance without slowing them down with the usual "age appropriate learning." A year later the girl was tested at the age of 8, and was awarded after only missing 2 questions and scoring 100% on the oral section of the Jr high exam. A year later she passed the High school exam, and her little brother soon followed. The last time I saw them they were reading Harry Potter books. That was back in 2011, and I have used my method when allowed, but most schools in Japan do not want their students advancing faster, as it's not "age appropriate," and they will not make as much money from them. These days I teach my method to students 3 years old to Jr high, and ask their moms to allow them time to watch English TV and KZbin.

If more Japanese spoke good English, when they join a company that even may not have a need for it at that time. But, they can use that employee's talent to expand their business that needs English, where they were not prepared to do so because of the lack of English capability before. The English speakng employee can leverage their talent to advance their career at the company.

Always interesting and thought provoking videos.

I know what you are saying Mike. I teach English in Japan and other parts of Asia. In Japan it seems no one is taught the correct way to give a speech. They just give it without any structure. All of the meetings I have been to in Japan have been boring and way too long! Another thing that bothers me about Japan is the banking system and how it discriminates against foreigners. I have to wait 6 months before I'm allowed to open an account. Then 6 months later when my visa ends, they block my account and I can never use it again. I come and go from China and Japan, and China allows me to have a bank account with a debit card for 10 years, which I can renew in 10 years. Japan will not give me a real bank card and never a debit card.

Where did you get it

I also like that everything in Japan, from food, products and service, is top quality because the Japanese people want to do a good job and take pride in what they do. In America and some other countries, many people only think about themselves and what’s best for them. I think other cultures should start adopting some aspects of the Japanese culture. The world would be a better place. I hope Japan does not lose their culture as the younger generation, who like to be more Westernized, grows up and take over. Immigration is good but immigrants must learn to assimilate to the Japanese culture. If not, Japan might lose the culture that they are well known for. I see it happening in the United States and in Hawaii. Just my humble opinion.

Safety and low crime is one of the reasons why I love visiting Japan. I also like that everyone is so respectful and courteous to each other, similar to how Hawaii used to be in the good old days.

With immigration, we have got the opposite here in Germany and the crime rates are rising like crazy, because we opened the doors too wide. Just this week there was a Syrian man killing several people at a city festival and we hear things like this almost every day, which hasn`t been like this before. Also, its almost always people who should have been deported but weren`t for some reasons.

Going to visit Japan soon. Just found your channel. This video gives great insight into the culture. Thank you. I believe that most people coming for places like the United States are impressed and come to appreciate the safety, and customer service and the many, many attractions that Japan offers. And of course, the food! Just these things put visitors at ease so that they can really enjoy their vacations. And of course, endless temples and shrines, shopping, and cat cafes. I, too, do not understand why Japan changed from a production industry to a service industry. I recall the SONY Betamax and the SONY Trinitron TVs, and the revolutionary WALKMAN. But, Japan should streamline and improve the tourist pathway. Many people who visit Japan the first time realize that there is so much to do and see that they return. Look how so many mom and pop business and hotels had a difficult time during the COVID lockdown. But all is not utopia. The mental depression of many of the people, especially young people is a big problem. The government is worried about the decreasing population, yet wages are relatively low so that many are unable to afford to have a family, or get married. This leads to the need to have temporary workers from other countries. On the other hand, if too many gaijin are allowed to enter and stay, Japan will lose its unique culture, the very thing that attracts foreign visitors. Thumbs up! New subscriber. Now off to see some of your other videos.

just come back from Japan.And we bought some in New Chitose Airport..its very yummy.m

Japan curry so much better

I'm trying natto right now! I bought some out of curiosity. The texture doesn't bother me. It tastes a bit like coffee but very pungent. I don't like it or hate it but I may try my 2 remaining containers on rice with green onion.

I love the red tape stories. Dont change Japan 😂. They do things their way🤙🏽

Loved this video and that toilet is genius I’m designing my own tiny home and that will definitely be something I need to find for it.

Amazing video. I love that it is so detailed. It answered all my questions about Japanese bathroom and Ofuro culture. Thank you!

It's looks like Shekh gives you Pakistani food. Mostly Pakistani sell there food named as Indian food . Be aware

Tokyo last weekend was utter hell-on-earth hot and humid. I hate Japan Summers.

Hi Mike, I found your channel during the pandemic when I was waiting for Japan to open up. I like the information you give out on your channel. I love Japan and have been there twice since the reopening. Went to the Hokkaido in 2023 for the Winter festival on a tour. It was my best trip ever! Other than that snow festival trip, I travel independently to Japan, which is why I research the customs, learn what to do and what not to do, practice my Nihongo skills and learn how to navigate the transportation system from KZbinrs. I am going back to Sapporo in November. I could tell you were from Hawaii but want to know how you ended up in Japan? Was it for work? Thanks for your channel!

Thank you for all the tips. Very usefull and practical information. I plan to ride it this year from onomichi to imabari and back again.

are u from hawaii. i can hear the pidgin accent

I really like your videos and information you provide. You are very informative. Are you from Honolulu? I am and travel to Japan/Tokyo every year for a vacation. I know this is short notice but I would love to know if there are day trips I can take from Tokyo? I will be I. Tokyo on August 22nd for 14 days and will be staying in the Ikebukuro area.

What is the best time in Sapporo?

I lived in Sakaiminato, Tottori prefecture, before I ever went to a big city....Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto.... When I finally moved, in 1972, I went to Kobe and got lost in Sannomiya station...it was so big! It was probably 5 or 6 years before I went to Tokyo. I think my experience in the country side of Japan first....let me see the best side of Japan, and planted the seed for my love of this country and the Japanese. The exchange rate in 1970 when I first came here was 360/$1 !! In 1972 it was 303/$1..... But costs were a lot less then too. The Osaka Expo was in 1970.

Hahaha, it’s so funny and crazy, I don’t know what to say

Wauu

Just returned from Hokkaido and Furano melons and Yubari melons were everywhere. So delicious and juicy.

Hey Mike. My wife and I live in Michigan, we've been to Japan twice, this May and May of '23. Had a wonderful time each experience. We are looking forward to trip number 3 early 2025!

I strongly recommend to go to Shodoshima. It might look a bit far and difficult to reach (you can go their by speed boat though). It´s an island so rich in culture and very interesting sight seeing spots, like Olive grove, Angel´s road and don`t miss the old filmset (it`s a whole little village built in the style of the 1920s and I was really surprised at all the small little details and the nice view at the pacific from there). Stay at Sen Guesthouse !

Mike, there are hidden gems, with fantastic staff/owners that you had visit and have great food and great conversations....even in broken Japanese/English....for a very unique experience. (Close to 30 years total here myself.)

My husband recently had a stroke. Can you tell me the brand of this device? Other comments mentioned that the link did not work.

Japanese food in general tends to be very mildly seasoned in my experience

Never had Japanese curry but I assume it is far, far, far, far less spicy than Indian curry

Mike. It looks like you have lost a lot of weight.... I hope you are doing well. Take care, it is very hot outside.

Hi, are there storage facilities for big luggages?

Looks mad good

Can you grow these in the usa? Looks really sweet

When does it snow in Hokkaido? I plan to go there next February somewhere in the 2nd week. It should be snowing then right?

Watching your videos from India. Nice presentation.
