Fun fact about vending machines: Italy is the european leader with a revenue of 1.5 mld €. Italy is also a major exporter of vending machine in the world, Usa, instead, are major importer. The first vending machine was invented in the first century by Hero Alexandria, a greek matematician and engineer in Egypt during a roman era and was used to dispense wine and holy water.

I just love people CELEBRATING their differences, instead of pretending there are none :) I always find it so interesting to hear about peoples backgrounds and cultures and stuff like that ^^

[@ciaoatutti307]

For real, peoples need to understand that we don't have to be all the same and everyone must have his own culture and differences, watch what's happening in europe with muslim, all the cultures must keep thier own identitys, no multiculturalism yes integration, and for integration i mean: you go to japan for live as a japenese, you go to germany for live as german, you go to italy for live as an italian ecc ecc, no multicultural countrys or peoples will try to ruin your own country as mulsim trying to do with european countrys, they already done it also in some asian countrys if im not wrong like indonesia india amd others, everyone in Asia Europe and America have to wake up and keep his own culture preseved, north africa/middle east islamic countrys trying to forcing islam on multiple countrys

[@pragman3561]

As a Japanese man, I'll fill in the gap about vending machines: ・At convenience stores or supermarkets, you can buy beverages usually cheaper than by vending machines. The cheapness is simply because living costs in Japan are lower than European countries. ・It is often said the abundance of vending machines is because Japan is safe. There are few thieves who breaks machines!

I'm not sure, but I think it's common to have the separate bathrooms and toilets in the detached private homes in Finland 🇫🇮. 🤔 My parents have it that way (the upstairs' toilet & dressing room is separated from the bathroom itself by a door) and both my grandparents had it too. And all those houses were build in the 1920s-1940s -ish. In the next room, everybody have their saunas in Finland, so you need the space for them. 😉 I have never been to the modern detached homes, so I have no idea of what they look like. 😇 I would say however that the blocks of flats and row houses consist exclusively of the combined bathrooms and toilets, obviously. My flat was like that too.

[@anti_2337]

We have separate bathroom and toilet in Russia too. I think it’s very convenient, especially, if you have a big family

[@sleepines]

i heard that vending machines are there to help ppl stay hydrated when it gets really hot (the drink ones at least xD)

[@PsychoSpiral]

My thoughts too. After walking block after block, those vending machines were a god send to me when I was in Tokyo. I didn't have to carry my own water bottle since there's vending machines everywhere in Tokyo.

I'm sorry, but that KFC Christmas thing is just weird. To be fair though, I hate corporate Christmas stuff in general, and we also have WAY too much of that crap here in the US. It's DEFINITELY not just Japan.

Even as time goes by and the surface of a town changes, nothing changes in the underlying foundation of the unique Japanese culture. The common root of the creation of originality in Japanese culture is the uniqueness of its geopolitical location and the influence of its natural environment. Even if they import culture and knowledge from abroad, they are not dominated by it, and after a certain period of time, they select the content, integrate it with their own culture, improve it, and eventually create a new style because of the influence of their unique natural environment. Japan's original country name "NIPPON”means "the land under the sun" , but another traditional country name is "YAMATO ,（WA）” , meaning “Peacefull Harmony among People and Nature”.　So Japan's name means “the Land under the Sun” and” the Land of "Great Harmony of People and Nature,” The history of Japan is very old, about 2,000 years since the Emperor's reign, but humans began to live in villages and communities in this island nation about 14,000 years ago, during “the JOMON pottery” culture.　(That's 30,000 years ago, if you count the Neolithic period.) Surrounded on all sides by the sea and geographically isolated from the Eurasian continent in the Pacific Ocean, this island nation has a warm and humid climate, and because it is a volcanic island, mountains occupy about 80% of its land, it is rich in underground clear water resources through its natural filtration system, and is blessed with diverse vegetation and fishery resources. For this reason, people have lived here for tens of thousands of years, enjoying the abundant nature and living in peace with nature. Since ancient times, the people of this land have respected human harmony and have lived in peace by working together as a group. However, while the natural environment of this island nation is rich to live, it is also harsh to live and has both light and dark sides. They have shared and enjoyed the blessings of nature by pooling their wisdom and collectively overcoming numerous severe and harsh natural disasters, such as frequent volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami, summer typhoons, and heavy snowfall in winter. This is because this island nation has a harsh natural environment that cannot be overcome by a single person. Individuals are too weak to face the fury of nature when natural disasters suddenly strike the wealth they have built up and can destroy their cities overnight. That is why Japanese people believed that they should suppress their egos, avoid conflict among humans, cooperate with each other to create a livable environment and maintain public cleanliness, and join forces to prevent disasters before they occur and to restore the environment immediately after they have occurred. They believed that this is the most wise, efficient, and rational way to maintain peace and freedom in each other's lives, this would bring about better results rather than to create more chaos and conflict by insisting on each other's selfishness. because of the environment in which disasters frequently occur that cannot be resolved by individual power alone. And this thinkings have given rise to Japan's unique teachings, culture, and behavior. For example, it is fundamentally connected to the Japanese mindset of "Behaving in a way that does not bother others in public places," "Helping each other if someone is in trouble," and "Not doing bad things even if no one is watching." And one of the teachings of the ancient Shinto religion, "Purify yourself (kiyome) by getting rid of Defilement (kegare)," has been taken over today as a basic manner to "Not pollute even in public places," to “Always keep the environment and yourself clean”, and to make everyone, regardless of status, gender, or age. feel comfortable equally. The warm and humid island climate is a paradise for humans and animals, and it is also a paradise for bacteria and microorganisms to thrive. If they are not careful in maintaining cleanliness in their daily lives, bacteria can easily multiply and food can spoil. It is obvious why the ancient Japanese Shinto religion taught the importance of "maintaining a clean environment on a daily basis.” They taught cleanliness strictly because they knew, even before the development of science, that laziness and filthiness could lead to invisible bacterial plagues that could kill or destroy a race of people. This is the ancient wisdom to survive in the dangerous natural environment unique to this island nation. Over the years, this wisdom has been formed into a unique Japanese behavior and culture that is different from that of other countries. The ancient name of Japan, "YAMATO" or "WA" (peaceful harmony between people and nature), represents the wishes and reality of the people who have been trying to survive in the rich and at the same time harsh natural environment unique to island countries, which is different from the dry and stable land of the Eurasian continent. And it is in this ancient Japanese country name "WA,YAMATO" that the essence of Japanese culture, the origin and secret of its unique culture, which is very different from the cultures of other Asian countries on the continent, is hidden.

When there’s an earthquake or a natural disaster thats shuts lifeline off, vending machines are one of the guarantees to get some liquid for nearby victims

[@anamarievivero7774]

Reason: Here there’s no turkey 🦃 in Japan. They start celebrating x-mas for those foreign people who lives here. Instead turkey 🦃 they choose the chicken because chicken is very popular meat here in Japan. Means, no one say no! to fried chicken 🍗. Everyone likes chicken dishes. So! They start celebrating Christmas because THEY JUST WANTED THOSE FOREIGN PEOPLE WHO LIVES HERE TO NOT FEEL HOMESICK DURING X-MAS SEASON!

[@SolenaWillyei-iq2tu]

Native English teachers most of them don't teach nor know that

[@WookieWarriorz]

honestly i dont really think japan is very different from the uk at all. Both love trains, weird foods, have dynasties, island nation, both drive on the left, both have a emphasis on manners and order and structure. Drinking traditons, pubs, narrow roads etc honestly similar to a lot of europe too, its really only the usa thats vastly different.

[@chanelSaha]

Man in the world knows Japanese girls in video😅😅

[@Tenseiken_]

Aside from the religious reason, I find it interesting that in Japan, a country where family cooking is usually known to be a big thing, they instead get fast food from KFC. I can only guess that because the emphasis on cooking is the norm all year around that the significance just isn't the same. I really do like the culture of eating alone and places being built "in a small manner" sorta speak to accomodate exactly for that. Like the ones where you order on something that looks like a vending machine but for tickets and you give those over the counter and then sit in your little space and prices are relatively normal. You just do your thing, it's very efficient. Eating alone in public in Germany is definitely seen as sad and lonely and places are definitely built to accomodate bigger groups of customers rather than single ones. Of course some places have some spots, but they're vastly in the minority. Japan has a lot of great things, but yeah people don't forget they also have their own problems. It's not some pipe dream country and I've talked to many people that worship Japan despite being the best without ever being there. Can you imagine taking all the good things from most of the cultures and build your own country with it though? Man that would be so dope. THAT however is a pipe dream though lol.

[@sassuki]

L'allemande comment elle regarde l'italienne quand elle dit "oh, la pauvre, elle mange toute seule"... 😂 en Allemagne, y a plein de gens qui mangent tout seuls!!! lol @ Grazia: l'Italie n'est pas représentative de l'Europe! les italiens sont en règle générale plus sociables que les allemands ou les finnois en tous cas!! lol

kfc is the opposite of healthy japanese foods based on fish

[@FIGHTFAN777]

Kfc is massive in Asia

[@inotoni6148]

US marketins is strong there

[@oscarberolla9910]

It's unfortunate that they understand that from the West.

[@xxstormxx56]

Good : History, mild food(street food) four seasons in arquipelagos, nature (since it is mostly mouintaneous) technology, efficient and friendly service, pop culture. Bad: (all of them are social aspects) toxic collective society, long hours work, extreme loneliness, indirect communication, collective hypocrisy😢

​@@thegrace_pin hong kong, since it is a crowded place, you share a table with strangers, those strangers are usually rude and bad tempered. No personal place.

[@juandiegovalverde1982]

of course, most Japanese are not Christians. So they go a western franchise restaurant to celebrate a western holiday.

[@joekost1038]

Christianity originated on the land of today's Palestine, and Palestine is technically located in Asia.

[@xxklesx1]

@@joekost1038 Christianity as we know it today is quite European. Christianity in the Middle East was displaced by Islam over 1,000 years ago. In addition, the Bible was written by Greek and Roman philosophers. And the Reformation that led to Protestantism (the religion most Americans have) originated in Germany.

[@xxstormxx56]

i would like to suggest that before making videos, and ask yourself why it matters? Such as why do the Japanese eat KFC at Christmas, because of marketing strategy and cheap price.

[@ikanaAkan]

7, 5 and 3 years of age have traditional religious meaning. Until a certain age, children were considered property of gods, and if they live until then (if they die young, it was god’s will), Japanese celebrate these and are allowed to cut their hair for the first time removing part of god’s then belonging. At the age of five, a high class boy, would be given a name which would change again at the adult age.
