1 Year Japan Review (0 - 10) 👏👏

[@TheVermilliaFamily]

When I was in Japan, I was walking along one of the many lakes around Mt. Fuji when an old fisherman waved me over. He didn't speak much English, and I didn't speak much Japanese, but he invited me into his fishing shack and we talked about our jobs and what we like about our homes. He gave me a huge bag of jerky fish and said, "if you come back, I will be here". I think about him every week 😭

[@livinlicious]

probably wanted to murder you and eat your skin as jerky. I wouldnt go to weirdos shack in the middle of nowhere. Trust me, not even in japan. In the west you get robbed, in japan you get skinned by the one weirdo. Have you seen the murderers in japan? Im not sure there is worse fate than what they did to their victims.

I don’t know why, but it warms my heart a little to know he probably is, in fact, still there, fishing in one of the lakes next to Mt. Fuji.

She didn't speak much english but was still a huge blessing when we had no idea what we were doing.

[@monicasmm]

Felix, about the being in the delivery room thing: I know you said there isn’t really any bending the rules but I hope you do try! I’ve read someone say that they were able to stay the whole time before birth (not after) after doing a PCR COVID test on the spot. Maybe you could also ask the doctor for help with getting some sort of exception due to whatever reason: not fluent in Japanese, first pregnancy, high stress, whatever it is. Medically there is good reason for her to have you there to provide support and comfort in an extremely unfamiliar situation. I hope you’re able to be there at the very least longer than the 2 hours 🙏🏽

[@melemisu3259]

Yes!!! 100%. Im also watching a french youtuber you got his baby a few months ago in japan and he chose an hospital where he could stay 100% of the time. I think it could be very worth looking for an other hospital or asking for a solution.. 🤞

[@bobgreen2569]

There are hospitals that will allow it. And I understand the feeling of not wanting to be the Gaijin and fuss about the "rules", but it is definitely worth the push. The regulation is going to change in a couple months anyway so why not push for it now.

[@littlebigcommentaries9833]

This is exactly why their society functions so efficiently compared to ours and we catch a bad rep for this stuff lol. It's always worth the push cause we're all so special and deserve special treatment to any little thing specific to what is important to any individual. I agree who wouldn't want to be present for their childs birth. But that's the thing about other cultures. It's not yours. There will always be things you may not be able to understand or relate to that you just have to accept. A lot of the west struggles with that.

As a Japanese, I am grateful to you for introducing the good and bad points of Japan to so many people in an objective and polite manner! I think Japan is a good country in terms of being a very safe place to live as well as the culture is a very good part. However, as shown in the video, the fact that people are forced to follow unreasonable rules that are not happy for anyone, even if the reasons do not make sense, is something that even from a Japanese point of view seems strange, and I feel that it is a problem that needs to be changed. (For example, if someone in a higher position than you is working overtime, you cannot go home on time because your priority is to help your boss with his/her work, even if your own work is finished, etc.) Finally, thank you for liking Japan. I will be happy if we can continue to be a country that is easy to live in for more and more people.

I completely understand that "feeling" you're referring to at the end. In 2015 I went on a high school exchange to Japan for a year and lets just say my arrival in Japan was very stressful. Because of all that stress I went through I began regretting my decision to study abroad and was feeling really bad. After my host family at the time picked me up from the airport and I was in the car on the way to their home, I had a change of heart. What made me change my outlook was simply seeing life going on around me. I saw a person riding their bike, other cars on the road with us, all the homes in my host family's neighborhood and all that made me think "you know what, this is nice" and I never regretted my decision again after that. I ended up loving my year in Japan so much that I plan to move back in a few years.

I had the same experience! I went on exchange to South Korea. The language barrier, the issues at the airport (I went at the beginning of 2020 - and I had my exchange terminated due to COVID), the initial stress. It had me deliberating upon whether I made the right decision. I had exactly the same anagnorisis, at exactly the same time. The drive home from the airport. Observing everyone around me. My host family gave me a Korean name (the romanised version is actually my username lmfao), and I started feeling like I could do it, as challenging as the journey was.

Having a child opens up a while new world to you. You shop at special places in the stores, you go to playgrounds, people look at you differently and talk to you like making a cute baby is the most important thing in the universe. But most importantly you notice the beautiful things around you to describe it to him, toys start having backstories, the most commont stuff in the house becomes interesting, it's CRAZY.

[@chadwickerman]

Maybe that whole aspect of people treating you better if you are having kids, people expecting everyone to procreate and add to the world's extreme overpopulation, is part of the reason why so many people are deeply depressed. Many can't afford to support a spouse much less a family and they suffer from that societal judgement. People get treated like they are selfish, like they are inferior and there is something wrong with them if they aren't married and having kids.

[@luca57882]

@chadchadwick1231 my country isn't overpopulated, there are more old people than young ever since the end of communism 25 years ago. Also people arent as depressed here, it's a poor country but we are happy. And most importantly the reason I can easily afford a baby is because I worked, mostly in a textile factory under horrible conditions since I broke off college, and I saved up all my hard earned money since age 20 because I wanted to have a baby and a house one day. And still I wont ever complain on the internet to strangers, maybe you should too.

日本のことをこんなにも褒めて下さりありがとうございます！日本は本当に意味がわからないルールが多いですよね😢わかるなぁーって思いながら聞いてました笑英語が話せない人が多い日本で暮らすのは大変なことが多いと思いますし、嫌な経験をすることもあると思いますが、これからもあなたの日本での生活がいいものであることを願ってます。 Thank you for praising Japan so much! There are a lot of rules in Japan that I don't really understand 😢 I was listening while thinking I understand lol I think it's often difficult to live in Japan where there are many people who can't speak English, and you can have bad experiences. I hope that your life in Japan will continue to be a good one.

そう思います。外国は利己的で、主張して自由や権利を得るのが当たり前だから、主観的になる。調べたりせずに、都合の良い情報を信じてしまう。そして主観的だから、自分と違う価値観や常識は批判しがち。 ちゃんと調べたり、体験すれば全く違う印象になる。でも体験しても悪意で受け止める人もいる。日本人がジロジロ見てくるから、人種差別されていると言う外国人もいる。確かめてもいないのに批判する。日本では、体が大きいなーとか、派手なファッションだなーとか、悪意のないことで見ていることが多い。 日本人は利他的で客観的なので外国とは真逆です。 争うことが嫌いな平和な民族です。酷いことをされなければ、外国人にも好意的です。

[@AlejandroRamírez-p8b]

To be honest Japan it's pretty good, but if there one thing I don’t really like about it is that Japanese people are as we say in my country "solapados", meaning someone that hides their thoughts in a "malicious" and cautious way, that’s why they can be "friendly" to you while at the same time they hate you and talk bad behind your back, it’s really hard to make new friends because they are always trying to cover they real intentions, thoughts and feelings, so you never know if they are genuine. Also, you should confuse certain attitudes which are not really about being nice but about being condescending.

[@BigDave309]

I just got back from a trip to Japan and I have got to say it is unlike any country I have ever been to. I had studied the language on and off for around 4 years but your point on conversation is absolutely true; there are tons of phrases and concepts that you just don't get until you go to the actual country. Loved hearing your views on their culture and can't wait to see you grow further with your experiences in Japan!

I understand your last like point perfectly. You can feel the 'soul' of Japan alive in you when you're there. In the mountains, staring down a huge gorge in the pouring rain, the trickling of ankle deep waters between the streets. You can't explain it, but maybe all those temples and shrines truly kept the spirits alive all this time.

[@shirayuki3242]

I usually don’t leave comments that often but this one hit home. I just came back from my Tokyo vacation and I kinda feel depressed being back. It was a long time dream of mine to visit Japan and it was the first time but somehow I felt really comfortable everywhere I went. The people where really nice and I felt like they really cared for your problems and it didn’t felt like I was asking for too much when I was asking for help. It really felt genuine. I don’t want to romanticize anything, I know every country has its problems but I just realized that the people are just really different form where I come from. I hope everyone can find the place where they can be happy and felix genuinely seems to have found that place.

it felt like everyone i talked to there was so nice, even if could have been kind of "fake" since thats just how customer service people have to act, it was so nice and odd being spoken to so nicely even if i maybe did something in the store wrong etc. and they had to let me know. and i noticed people apologize alot more for just little things so i started doing that aswell and when i came home i caught myself being very like "im so sorry!!" about little things and people here being like "uh ok its fine calm down lmao" very often i had the "main character in a movie" feeling and it was very weird. like walking into a kind of quiet room like a store or restaurant or on a train(everyone there being japanese) and everyone turning their heads and staring so much. i figured it was since i am a foreigner i'm white and have under the butt length bright red hair,but at home i rarely get looked or stared at. i have no idea if they were thinking nice thoughts or negative thoughts about me but i tried to just not stare back lol

Your first point was definitely what made me the most jealous of people in Japan, and that’s that it feels like there is always something unique or novel to do. And it’s so varied! You can visit thousand-year-old temples in the same day that you go to Super Nintendo World and a robot cafe. It feels like you have so many options for trips compared to other places around the world.

It's a peaceful place, although you will never fit in 100% and you will have to answer the same questions a million times.
