[@matts-7566]

​@@sastashroud7646maybe. its normal in Japan. mens & womens in their 20s choose not in a relationship and its still continuing till 20+. the feeling of unclear employment by men, and the burden of households by women are stopping them to not in a relationship. almost 50% of both men & women votes to be single for their rest of life. also the huge salary gap between man & female, gender inequality issue stops them to have a partner too. the birthrate are fewer than 1 million year year are very concerning for a big country as Japan, thats why there's plenty of Anime, Manga who are encouraging young people to be in relationship, some says Japanese might go extinct in a decades if this trend still continues.

[@maekoh]

All these videos really make me realize how committed they are to keeping everything clean and in order. You hardly ever see any of these buildings or businesses dirty or unclean (aside from restaurants during work hours), its just not something that anyone cares about in majority of the world. I've only visited Japan once, but its unbelievable how kind and caring these kinds of businesses make you feel, as well as how clean and presentable they keep their shops at all times.

[@Nabee_H]

Its definitely cared about, you just notice it in places like Japan because of the lack of homeless and strict cultures (culture can be strict due to remaining homogenous, but it causes other issues). Solving issues like homelessness and cultural issues are why we don't notice it here in western countries (im in Canada, when I was a kid places were fairly clean and we were doing really good economically but now due to a drug/housing epidemic, overpopulation and rising crime you can begin to tell places are starting to become dirtier by the day).

[@maekoh]

@@Nabee_H I also live in Canada, and that's what I'm basing my statement on. Even if you look at normal supermarkets for example, they are disgustingly dirty pretty much 24/7. You go into a japanese supermarket at any hour of the day, it's damn near spotless. I've lived in Canada all my life, and even 10-15 years ago nothing was different, disregarding the increase in homelessness. Yeah it might've been a bit cleaner compared to now, but in comparison its not even close. It's just a complete cultural difference when it comes to what we in the west deem as "acceptable" vs what they deem as "mandatory." And it's not like we can't, we just rely on the government to clean and maintain things vs Japanese people taking pride in keeping their country clean. In a sense you could classify it simply as "laziness." If you tell an employee that doesn't have cleaning in his job description to clean the floors, it's seen as a chore here and would not be done if no one enforced it. Whereas its practically voluntary over there, which is what I found extremely fascinating. Now not to say there aren't places that are clean and run by people who care about being presentable. But it's nowhere near the norm, and at this point not even encouraged.

[@Nabee_H]

​@@maekoh Where in Canada? I know Vancouver is in the dumps right now. Toronto is also pretty bad. The only places that are decent are the remote suburbs/industrial areas where the population isn't as dense. Also we still had a drug problem back then, its many other issues that factor in. Smaller countries also generally take cleanliness more seriously whilst Canadians and Americans do whatever tf they want because "its a big place". I feel like one major things is cleaning in school, something we dont have here. Maybe tidying up our toys in kindergarten but that was about it. The Japanese cook and clean all throughout elementary and high school while we have custodians taking care of us.

[@maekoh]

@@Nabee_H Alberta pretty much my entire life, living both in major cities (calgary & edmonton) as well as smaller rural areas. I know there's quite a few factors that play into it, but it just boils down to them being far better people in general. They take passion in what they do and appreciate everything. Whereas everyone here takes pretty much everything for granted, so naturally people don't have respect for things around them. People coming from asian countries like Singapore, Japan, Korea etc, to places in NA like New York, Toronto, Chicago etc, have said it's genuinely daunting to adapt to cause of how disgustingly bad it is. And I do agree that it stems a lot from never being taught at a young age. But its not a social standard, so even parents don't bother teaching their kids basic respect. I was raised in an asian household that was dead set on teaching those things. And growing up, even though I was born here, it was still crazy seeing the major differences when I saw people that clearly didn't. Tokyo as of 4 years ago had like 4+ million more residents than NYC, yet its somehow unbelievably clean. Even on the busiest streets in downtown tokyo, it makes downtown NYC look like a wasteland. There's not heavy practices for it either, you just have to have some sort of collective human decency and respect for your own city, which is the thing that all of NA doesn't have. So wrapping back to what you originally said, I just genuinely can't see it as "being cared about" when people here would likely choose to trash the city/country over cleaning it. And our government is useless as shit with a thousand other problems, so its not like its something thats even feasible for the future. (I apologize if some of this makes no sense, I haven't slept in like 20 hours 💀)

[@Noobzlikeu]

@@maekoh This is so true. Another example is going into the big cities. In cities like Toronto, there's litter everywhere. In Tokyo, the streets are almost spotless. You could still find some litter in some places, but it's EXTREMELY rare (and usually it wasn't put there by a Japanese person). When I went there, the difference blew me away. That and the vending machines everywhere. Loved being able to stop and get a soda or a can of coffee (which was actually pretty good and always hot, surprisingly) at any moment, no matter where I was, haha.

[@GavinusMaximusMaster]

I'm so jealous that Japan has this unique culture all their own. It seems like there is a real sense of home. They and their ancestors are where they have always been. There's a pride, continuity and connectedness that I really envy.

[@Thanos-hp1mw]

Truly. That feeling of belongingness permeates through this video. Just imagine how happy these people are. And they really are happy, it's not just a show. They life like humans are evolved to live, together, farming their own food and maintaining traditions.

One thing I love about japanese craftsmanship is that things that are expensive, are expensive because they take HOURS to make and it takes the masters a life time to perfect the skills to make them. In western culture they will sell you an item very expensive because of the brand even though its cheaply made and mass produced.

The fact that they honour the guy who brought the tea seeds from China 600 years ago is incredible.

Such a wholesome episode, Paolo. Been enjoying your content for a couple of years now and I'm finally making a trip to Japan this October! Cannot wait. :)

What a beautiful house, full of memories and so elegantly decorated. What a nice heroine and her family. Madame President who was washing the floor moved me. I would like CEOs in the West to have this approach to work, responsibly and to themselves. Without self-aggrandizement. In the West, as in Byzantium, even if he has two employees and a "shell company", he will still consider himself a God. In this video you can see that a different approach makes people happy. They all look really happy with their lives here. Not to mention how young and joyful they look! I'm experiencing a positive culture shock. I would like this culture to come to Europe 😊❤❤

Awesome episode Paolo and Maiko! Never change, japan. Never change. I hope the tea farmers, and producers can cling on to their traditions.

Absolutely love your "Day in the Life" series and this one was so special. What an incredible young woman and family. Their dedication to tea is really inspiring. Thanks for making these so comprehensive - it really is fascinating to see how people live and work.

Im really in love with the tea culture. I kinda feel jealous that Paolo got a taste of that expensive tea. Great episode Paolo, as always.

That was truly wonderful. I love seeing more of rural Japan. Fuki's family home looked incredible. Everyone was so nice and welcoming in the video. Thanks.
