Japanese EKIBEN BENTO on the SHINKANSEN Bullet Train

@@vittorioakbar1275 Are you referring to motion sickness? That's not really an issue on the shinkansen. It's nothing like in normal trains where you can be jolted around when the train goes round a corner, or over a switch. The shinkansen tracks are super straight and the ride is incredibly smooth.

@Velvet Thunder i think mask wearing is common in most asian countries since covid19 started. Based on my observation America and some european countries some people refuse to use mask to reduce the spread of the pandemic because using a face mask has been politicized. To be fair though even various asian countries we do have our own bunch of nuts ( but luckily a small number) who refuse to use the face mask, do social distancing etc because they think the virus is fake. Wouldnt it be nice if we can gather all the anti maskers on one side of the globe and all the sensible people on the other?? It would be an interesting experiment to see how fast covid19 virus would spread amongst those who refuse to believe in the virus & refuse to wear a surgical mask/ do social distancing etc.
