Japan's rural life always reminds me of Japanese cartoons like Doraemon, Shin Chan, Kiteretsu, etc. which I used to watch and enjoy so much as a child in India. Love from India ❤️.

[@dilipkumars6556]

Same thought bro

[@khrawlyngdoh4393]

It's not Japanese cartoon it is call Anime

Fact : Japan's rural life is better than your city life

[@_cosmie]

A rural environment will almost always be better than crowded, noisy and poluted cities

No.

A simple and peaceful rural life, taking a bike every morning to get some groceries, having a little vegetable garden, raising few chickens for eggs, seeing all the beautiful natural scenery, that is THE LIFE, THE DREAM 😍

[@chandramallawarachchi1122]

True

[@annamorris3935]

@@pIaxondry I mean, I've been there too, but in my opinion of Japan isn't really like that. Yes, there are a good amount of people who are individualistic, but there are also many people that aren't. Honestly, most of the people I have met there were pretty friendly. Yes, there are some places that are dirty but pretty much every country has that problem.

Rural life among nature is the happiest, unlike the City's concrete jungle

I lived in a city for 20 years and for the past 5 years I am living with my mom in village. Only downside of village life is that it is very to find a good doctor/hospital nearby if you get sick.

[@li87A]

I love watching videos of people living a simple life in different parts of the world. I'm a Mum who Currently lives in England & I'm loving a simple living too. This pandemic has thought people so much lessons. Our lives alone are so precious to spend each day with the people that we love. Finding Joy in the nature we are observing, in the plants we are growing and in the family we are raising. I Wish more success in your channel. Your content is something to watch out for.

I'm 11 and you have no idea how bad I want to move to Japan or at least visit for a while and get to experience what living there is like. I have this goal in life to earn good money and be able to travel around the world and take friends and family with me, I've searched it up and apparently where I live I can start working at 14 so in 3 years I want to at least have a small part time job like work at a library on weekends or something like that, I also just want to make my own money so I can buy anime merch because I feel bad asking my mom for money or to buy me things. I also really wanna learn Japanese, I'm just upset that there's the possibility that it'll take way longer than I expect because I'm mexican and I know spanish and english so learning a completely different language will be hard. Now I'm just rambling, sorry. Thanks if you read this far, have a nice day

[@kaife4018]

You can I am also in 11th

[@alyd1525]

Keep it up, if that’s your dream then give it everything you got. You already know two languages, might as well add another. Another plus is you’re starting off young, so you might not have to wait long since younger minds grasp languages more easily. Good luck to you!

[@SwiggityPeanut]

Go for it, when its all said and done you wont feel regret for things you did, you will regret not doing the things you wanted to do. you got this!

[@suyashdwivedi3202]

@@itech9313 1. Public transport in India is bad , like really bad , specially in summers. Temperatures hit well above 45°C and with the kind of population we have, it's hellish to travel. 2. AC's are too needed in summers with the kind of heat wave India experiences. 3. About working hard , I will , I am going to . Just hope that Government decides to accept capitalism more , current restrictions are really like road blockers against progress.

[@itech9313]

@@suyashdwivedi3202 well yeah you need a car for long distances if the public transportation is not good. But make sure to reduce it's use for short distances. The emissions from the vehicles cause pollution which further increases the temperature. We humans should be responsible for our action, especially Indians who have this "it's ok" attitude. Right?

[@itech9313]

@@suyashdwivedi3202 I understand your point of view, but you see we need to think of long term sustainability. If we continue with this behavior we will not last long on this planet. People are too self concerned + lazy here in India(not everyone). For example, separating wastes doesn't take much effort most people won't do it cause it's pain in the *** for them. They take everything for granted.(ofcourse I am not talking about everyone, there are many many people who realise this) but it's as if this behavior is seeded into them from the previous generation.
