Moving to Japan was one of the best choices I've ever made and I still have some very distinct memories of the first things I noticed when I moved to Osaka, 6 years ago. Maybe you'll have the same!
Due to the fact that EVERYONE loves to tell me that "it depends where you live", I just thought I'd state it here once more, as well as twice in the video - It depends where you live. There, I said it. Please direct all stray comments to this description box if you see them.
Okay enough whinging from me. Thanks for watching!

@@Naposensei As you may already know WiFi is a wireless network connection. WiFi is used by most people to describe connecting to the internet. However, it's not an accurate term as a WiFi network doesn't always have an internet connection. Internet speeds in Australia aren't as bad as what some Aussies complain about. It's average on a world scale. No point comparing Australian internet speeds to those of Japan or South Korea where you have high population density in a small geographic area. Australia is the reverse and the telecommunication infrastructure costs are very expensive. My internet connection is perfect in Melbourne. I can upload a gigabyte in under 15min. Aussies just like to complain....

I'm from NZ n I always thought being 'the land of the long white cloud' that NZ was kinda grey and then when I went to Japan, it was like everything was muted. I think a huge part of it is the lack of access to open spaces to view a skyline or horizon. The amount of buildings is bewildering.

First off it seems that you’re still ill and have yet to recover, or it could be allergies you’re dealing with. This video is very beneficial had there been KZbin and WiFi back during the time I was there. You do give simple useful information in your video. The fact that English is used a fraction more than when I was there is a relief to know. I was taking the last train at night from Yokosuka to Tokyo.i had hoped to get there on one train. But we arrived in Yokohama and everyone exited the train and got on another on. All the over the air announcements were in Japanese I didn’t know what to do. I hesitated and was stranded in Yokohama till the next train back which was at 5 or 6 in the am. None of the signage in the station were in any language to give me aid in my time of need. So I was left wondering the streets of Yokohama. Could go into clubs, because Japanese men only. Couldn’t go to the restroom didn’t know how to use their bowel movement apparatus which didn’t have any toilet paper anywhere! However I walked the ginza which was immaculately clean and safe. No need to feel like I’d be robbed like the time I visited NYC ages ago. So there was enough English speakers to inform me of my error and when I could return back to Yokosuka. I’m sure there more currently now than then. Whether you are aware of it or not you will be always treated better than any other foreigner because of your blond hair and blue eye. An ex was treated like a goddess there when she went to work there as an entertainer. Get well and feel better health wise. I enjoy these videos along with your pleasant sounding voice as you dispense with you valuable knowledge and information. Continued success.

I do not live in Japan, although I have visited once for 2 months, and I noticed that bathroom situations are very different between the countries. I am from the United States where we have very standard toilets whether it be at home, stores, restaurants, ect and usually the bathrooms are smelly and dirty, but in Japan I noticed that their toilets are much nicer, not only in the home but also around shopping centers and even at parks which was unbelievable to me and most often they were so clean. In addition, I definitely agree with a lot that you said, I found it very hard to connect to wifi, I came across feel trash cans on the street, and the cities were usually very clean.

I would say that it's so clean in Japan not in spite of, but because of no trash cans. The park near my house used to have a big trash can that was always full and overflowing and making it all dirty, but then they removed it and the litter problem got a lot better. It forces people to take responsibility for their own trash and take it with them. Good idea.

Hello, Hannah. Glad you mentioned color. I always thought the colors used for things such as gift wrapping and clothing are normally more 'subdued' in Japan than other cultures. Ever notice how lightly colored are the birthday cakes (e.g. Baskin Robbins) sold in Japan, compared to the U.S., for example?

One of the things everyone should know before moving to Japan that NO ONE knows about till after it's too late: When you move to Japan, everything is very, very expensive. Your apartment may not be furnished so you have to buy a futon or bed and table and kitchenware and it's expensive if you are just arriving. There's a wonderful Facebook group in Japan called "Tokyo Sayonara Sales the Original" (Or "Osaka Sayonara Sales") which if you join, you can buy things you need for extremely cheap from people leaving Japan! It's a fantastic way to save money since renting an apartment alone is a minimum of $2500 for a tiny place outside of Tokyo, and more if you live inside Tokyo! (Source: I've moved 4 times in Japan I know all the fees.)

Hi Hannah; I recently discovered your channel, and I really like it . Your videos are very good and as you talks a lot to explain different things, it is a great way for me to learn English. Unfortunately, my listening skills are not perfect and I can't understand every thing you say, so I was wondering if it would be possible for you to add subtitles to your videos (those provided automatically are often full of mistakes). I am sure that many other people for whom English is not their native language would appreciate it a lot too; furthermore it would give you the chance to have even more viewers.

And that's just the free Wi-Fi. Then there's the docomo etc Wi-Fi that you can pay for (or comes with your cell phone plan) which is very cheap. There is certainly a bigger blanket of free Wi-Fi throughout Osaka and Tokyo than I have experienced in any big America city. And with a Wi-Max device (also super cheap) you basically have Wi-Fi in your pocket everywhere except maybe on the underground parts of the metro.

- I quite like Tokyo Station to be honest. The station itself is interesting and it actually has some nice places around it. Nihonbashi or the Imperial Palace are pretty close for example :- I'm not 100% sure, but I think these rubbish bins outside of convenience stores are actually only for packaging and stuff you got at the store and not for stuff you got from somewhere else. - I really enjoy the precision, organization and so on at trains stations as a German. - To an European it feels more colorful in Japan. There are flowers almost all year round, but in Europe it's very often just cloudy and grey - especially in winter. - Sometimes I feel there's even too much English (and other languages) than Japanese. 98% of the people in Japan are Japanese, so I sometimes find it weird how much English or Engrish is pushed. - The prices on alcoholic drinks probably differ a lot depending on the country. In Germany, you for example get pretty decent beer or wine for a pretty nice price. - I also noticed more spots with WiFi in Japan recently, but I don't understand why it's thaaat necessary. I find it more convenient, to just get a pocket WiFi device than relying on some places here and there with free WiFi. - The internet speed in Australia seems super slow (and I thought Germany is slow), but I hope it's better now :)

FYI: rubbish bins have been removed from the major stations since Tokyo subway sarin attack in 1995.

Lol being a cheap tourist I used wifi in convince stores and hotels, thought it was pretty easy. Can’t remember if the logins were in English or Japanese.

We lived in Okinawa for almost 4 yrs. The funniest thing me to get use to when we went back to the states was opening doors at stores! Almost all stores in Okinawa automatcially open. When i got to the states I would walk up to a business an just stand there waiting for the door to open an realize that I wasnt in Okinawa anymore! I would laugh at myself a lot! One of the hardest things to get use to was the speed limit when we went back to the states we were so scared after driving in Okiniwa for 4 yrs going only 30 km we were terrified when we got back on U.S hwys going 55 miles per hour!

Hey ! can you please a video on "Canon Eos 77d", apart for vlogging how good is the camera for photography & blogging. I am seeing through all your videos on youtube and posts on instagram. Is this camera a really good all-rounder for cinematic videography and photography. I wanna buy a dslr and don't know which one to opt for t7i or 77d. So please make a video on photography using canon eos 77d (Proper professional photoshot)
