[@AndyZaturno]

It is impressive how much we are missing in this life. It is impressive how so many have so much and so many have so little.

[@Crawlerz2468]

What's impressive to me is there's no cops with M-16s on every corner.

[@closingtheloop2593]

I went to Japan last spring (2023) and was amazed at the wealth on display. Granted for the average millennial their life is work work work, but at least the cities they live in are aesthetic and are walkable with good public transit.

I love a lot of the women’s fashion in this video…. How they’re styled is how I wish to style myself! A lot of them look very princess-y and soft, feminine… 💖💖💖

[@carolwalker2989]

Yes! Everyone is so fashionable. It's good to see so many smiling faces. ❤

[@WoWGirl6]

Look at how well-dressed everyone is!!! So trendy and classy. Colors aren’t crazy either, black, white, off white, pastel pinks, grey, some browns, and other warm tones. Nothing sticks out like a sore thumb 😆 I love Japan. The footage is also amazing!! Someday I hope to visit. I also would like to emulate how Japanese dress ☺️😎

[@FoodTravelShowMatt]

You are absolutely right. I agree with you👍🏼

[@jademcl4727]

What's wrong with bright colours ? 😢

[@wryterzblock]

​@@jademcl4727Absolutely nothing. This person apparently thinks everyone in Japan dresses the same way all the time and is in for a surprise when they visit.

[@wryterzblock]

Or try being yourself instead of emulating anyone?

[@MarkyNomad]

@@wryterzblock That is more correct for Korea. But, with that being said certain neighbourhoods such as Ginza, Roppongi and Akasaka tend to dress more "correctly" eg, neutral colors and formal wear. If you wish to see the more vibrant and playful side of Japanese fashion go to Shimokitazawa, Koenji, Daikanyama and of course the most famous one; Harajuku

[@JaimeD.]

When the locals prepare for Christmas, they do it spectacularly. 💯 Anywhere *VIRTUAL JAPAN* goes to is a sight to see and feel awe every single time. 😊🇵🇷 Merry Christmas to all.

[@brianchar-bow3273]

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”(Japan) means "the land under the sun" , but another name is "YAMATO(WA)” , meaning “Peacefully 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 is blessed with abundant underground clear water resources, diverse vegetation, and fishery resources. For this reason, people have lived here for tens of thousands of years, enjoying nature and living in peace with it. However, while the natural environment of this island nation is rich, it is also harsh, with both light and dark sides. Since ancient times, the people of this land have lived in peace by respecting human harmony and working together as a group, and have shared and enjoyed the blessings of nature by overcoming many harsh and severe natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and typhoons by sharing wisdom and working together as a group. This is because this island nation has a harsh natural environment that cannot be overcome by the power of one individual. The ancient Japanese name of the country, "YAMATO" or "WA" (Peacefully Harmony among People and Nature)　represents the desire and reality of people trying to survive in the unique natural environment of an island nation, which is different from the dry and stable land of the Eurasian continent. And it is in this ancient Japanese country name that the essence of Japanese culture and the source and secret of the emergence of a unique Japanese culture different from the cultures of other Asian countries on the continent are hidden.

Yes, Germans love to make trivial jokes like that one to distract from the fact that mass migration has prevented German cities from being as safe and nice as in this video.

[@Panlew2]

@@Dilophi Germans don't have to make jokes, that's the thing Germany is a wealthy country with a higher GDP than Japan despite having pretty much just 2/3 the population Once Japan starts mass importing immigrants (Davos has been on it for years at this point) not only will it have just as much crime, but it'll be even poorer All the signs you see are in English or English/Japanese. Tokyo is just a tacky tourist venue for westerners at this point.

The "Marché de Noël" has now spawned everywhere in the world. Originally created in Germany, and typical in French Alsace. The spirit of the Marché de Noël or Christmas Market, is to only sell artisan products; this is respected in Alsace and mostly in Germany. It is valid for food too. You can typically find "vin chaud" or warm wine, with spices, or other artisan produced real cider. Beware of those "Chalets" selling import goods from the usual suspects, which have nothing to do with the atmosphere these villages are supposed to induce!!! From Paris with love!

[@mimamo]

In German Christmas markets are called "Christkindlmarkt, in Alsatian (the German dialect native to Alsace) it is "Christkindlkmärik". "vin chaud" is called "Glühwein". In the video I noticed a famous German Christmas brand "Käthe Wohlfahrt", they produce traditional German handmade Christmas ornaments. I can recommend that store to everyone who wants real and quality Christmas products. They are however not cheap. ;)

[@alexcuevas5635]

what was the song in the intro?

[@QualeQualeson]

One thing about a certain frame of mind is that the concept of less is more is completely lost on it. I guess because it's on a direct collision course with the primary drive of it's actors. When never enough is the mantra, it's tricky to stop adding even more stuff to an already gaudy display.

[@darkgenesis342]

It’s celebration of Christmas has nothing to do with religion though

[@tigerex777]

@darkgenesis342 all civilizations derive from religion. It's only the modern world has begin rejecting it. Calendar dates, names, wiring, weddings, moral codes, traditions etc etc all derive from religion, in the western world mainly Christianity.

[@socks_cat356]

The reason why they distanced themselves from Christ is because Japan's emperor has a longer history than Christ, and Christ's tomb is in Japan. It was his brother Iskiri who was crucified.In fact, Moses' tomb is located in Japan. The Japanese imperial family was born between the descendants of Moses and the God of Japan.
