The real reason we don’t have washing machines in the bathroom is to do with the law that states you can’t have plugs (power outlets) in the bathroom at all. Only low powered electric shaver plugs that must be high up on the wall. You can’t even have wall mounted light switches in the bathroom either. Only either a wall mounted one outside the room or a ceiling mounted one that you pull on.

ベルギーに住んでたとき、UKと同じで台所に洗濯機があったのでかなり驚いたものです。 でも、ベルギーでは台所も洗面所も蛇口は一つでしたよ。 日本とそっくりの混合栓でしたね。 私が住んでたアパートは1960年代築の建物でしたが。 When I lived in Belgium, I was quite surprised to find a washing machine in the kitchen, just like in the UK. But in Belgium, there was one faucet in both kitchen and bathroom. It was a mixer tap just like in Japan. The apartment I lived in was built in the 1960s, though.
I really enjoy your videos!!! A washing machine in the kitchen? I can’t imagine that !!! Here in Brazil we have a laundry space but I definitely prefer the Japanese way of putting it near the bathroom, so much easier , right?
Talk about two taps, when I visited Italy, the hotel bath (and shower) had two taps. I don't quite remember what alphabet these taps had, I think one had C. I couldn't tell if C stands Cold or Cariente(hot). So I had to try to see if it was hot or not.

Oh no! That must have been so confusing! We usually have C for cold and H for hot or red and blue. The picture in the video is actually from my bathroom sink in London. As you can see both taps look the same. I had to learn which one was which from memory 😂 Thank you for your comment ☺️✨
約50年前なら日本では洗濯機は屋外もあったよ。鉄筋コンクリート造のアパートなんかはベランダに洗濯機置き場があったね。多分だけど衣服を乾かすのがベランダだからかもね。 ( About 50 years ago, there were outdoor washing machines in Japan. Reinforced concrete flats had a washing machine on the balcony. Maybe because the balcony is where the clothes are dried. )

@@SquishyTalk そうですね。そういえばオラが子供の頃は洗濯機も冷蔵庫はなかったね。 ( Right. Come to think of it, when I was a kid, we didn't have washing machines or refrigerators. )
Japan used to have a Summer time system.(1949~51)I was born in 1950. I don't understand why middle names are required in Japan. This is a stupid and silly question, so no response is required.

Oh wow! Thanks for letting me know! Thank you for your comment ☺️✨
It is a fascinating topic to learn what are the differences in normal life in Great Britain, that Japan doesn't. It may feel hard for you to adapt new style of living, but I'm you can, Miss Skye. If I had to choose which country to live between Japan and Great Britain, I would prefer Great Britain, which is easier and similar to Hong Kong. Also, even we don't have middle names, there is a format on naming in Hong Kong: "English name + Hong Kong Cantonese surname + personal name"

Oh wow! The name system in Hong Kong sounds so cool! Thank you for your comment ☺️✨
I wouldn't be too down on middle names, l've got 2, you might consider if U have children to give them a Japanese and English name. My parents did, so each of us have an English and Japanese name. Of course being the eldest son true to English tradition l've also got another English middle name, which is important historically in terms of family history, being a genealogist such things have great significance. I guess you're bath experience was good training for ofuro in Japan. 😊
台所に洗濯機?発案者は、アイザック・ニュートンかな? All washing machines at UK kitchens? Perhaps by Sir Isaac Newton!! Ladies and gentlemen in England needed to wash many dropped Apples?(笑)
Thank you so much for the interesting video again, I love your choice of theme and it's so helpful to know the new info about the UK. 🥰💞 1) Middle name ; I've always thought 'middle names' were unique to western countries and they've been needed in daily lives. So I didn't know 'middle names' were almost unnecessary in the UK.. ✍ 2) Going for a drink ; It's completely new to me that it's just drinks in the UK. 🍻🤩 3) Daylight savings ; I have friends on Facebook from Europe and US, so always keep the time difference in mind and already get used to it. ⌚🌏🌍🌎 4) Two taps ; This is also completely new to me that it's common to see two taps in the UK even now. ☺🛁🚿 5) Washing machine in the kitchen ; I think washing machine should not be put in the kitchen but the bathroom, that makes a lot of sense in Japan, haha. 😅

Since mid-19th century, Japan has learned a lot from Western countries, but summer time (daylight saving time) is one thing I NEVER want Japan to follow. Other than 5 things you've listed, Japanese people are not used to credit-card payment, and tipping, too. Now that you live in Japan, you would experience reverse culture shock back in the UK, wouldn't you?

We don't really tip very often in the UK, it's more of an American thing, but I definitely get culture shock when I travel back to the UK. I'm glad Japan doesn't have daylight saving time. It makes me crazy 😂 Thank you for your comment ☺️✨
