Exploring the 'Gaijin Card': Real-Life Insights & Cultural Boundaries - Ep

6:02 chopstick draggingっていう英訳はミスと判断致します。（「箸を引っ張る」の意味になってしまうため）"using chopsticks to draw a dish toward oneself"で良いかと思います。

話題が面白くて考えさせる動画ありがとうございます。外国人の仲間で「外人カード」とよく聞いている表現です。一方、この動画まで日本人からそのフレーズは聞いたことがありませんでした。長年日本に住んでいますので、外人カードを使った時が数えられないぐらいがあります。今でも、時々使います。😉　そう言えば、日本に引っ越したの直後に電話でギリのお父さんに切る時「またね」と言ってしまいました！隣に座っていた妻にそのことでめちゃくちゃ叱れました。😂

[@SayuriSaying]

おもしろい😂お義父さんはどんな反応でしたか？家族でも性格や関係性によって外人カード使える時と使えない時がありますよね。これは日本人でも難しいです。（日本人の場合は配偶者の家族とタメ口にするか、否か）

I'm italian too and I know the people of my Country, sometimes, they believe to be "smarty and clever" but they are really unpolite! There is a said I always use when I go abroad: "In the house of Cesar, you must use the Cesar's home rules"! It does it means, that I'm a guest and it's my duty to do my best to follow the rules of the Country I visit! And there are no excuses for doing in a different way, if you don't want, it's better you remain at your own home!! イタリア人なので、さゆりさん、ごめんなさいと言いますよ。🙏🙏

I wish I had friends that corrected me when using my japanese back when I was in Japan, most of my culture knowledge comes from what I have learned on youtube. I think that every foreigner has a foreign card when visiting a different country from theirs. It is unreasonable to expect a tourist to know the culture if they are visiting for a short time. This changes when they decide to live long term in the country and they should definitely learn the cultural norms of the place they are residing in.

[@SayuriSaying]

Yes, I did teach my friends some Japanese manners and rules, but I thought that if I taught them everything we encountered, we wouldn't be able to have a good time, so I set some boundaries!

AHH, I did the something similar last year. I said バイ when leaving the restaurant. 死ぬほど恥ずかしい　 今年はもっと頑張ります。

[@SayuriSaying]

haha! でももう間違えませんね。次は「ごちそうさまでした！おいしかったです！」と言えるといいですね😊

Well, although not yet experienced personally, but I heard that in many places in Japann creditcadrs are not acceptable and people have to pay by cash only. And here me never even taking my creditcard outside and always paying just by by NFC phone whenever I go (やばー！) Also I heard that there are LOTS of bureaucracy in Japan, and having to fill lots of paper by hand, with a seal etc, seem to be really annoying. Once again, especially when you're used to arrange all the matters online. Thanks for the episode, interesting stuff as always!

[@SayuriSaying]

It depends on the area, but in urban cities, the use of cash is becoming less common. I live in the city now, so I pay for everything with my phone. However, I was surprised that most places required cash when I visited a tourist spot in the countryside recently (Kinosaki)!

大山の動画からこちらへ来ました。愉しく拝見しています。2001年まで、海外に居ましたが、日本人です。箸を持って、話しながら、それを手の動きとともに、くるくる回したり上下左右させるアクロバティック指箸は、本当に勘弁してほしいと思います。危険行為です。箸は、結界。箸、橋、端がなぜ同じ音か、考えて、考えなくても、もう少し丁寧に扱ってくれたらと思います。

[@SayuriSaying]

ありがとうございます！そうですね、発音を気にするよりもマナーを気にしてくれている方が好印象ですよね。
