Not sure if this is one of those religion scam, but I encountered 2 women who tried talking to me in English, then asked if I was a Christian. I said yes and told them I was in the country for a while and i was looking for a church to attend sunday service. They stopped for while stunned then happily said oh yes you could join us. They didnt try to make me go somewhere but they handed me a pamphlet of a church with their mass schedule. and they also said please join us in mass if you have the time. they thanked me, I thanked them and they went on their way. Didn't get to go to their church tho. I kinda misplaced the pamphlet. Fortunately, I have one colleague at the office who was Japanese and also a Christian. He took me to the church he goes to just in time for Christmas.
I’m planning a 14 day trip to Japan but I’m planning on spending about half of that at Tokyo Disney & that is my primary reason for the trip since I’ve heard Tokyo DisneySea is the best Disney park in the world but it seems like it would be foolish to travel all the way over there & not take at least a week to see other stuff besides Disney but I’m still trying to figure out what else I want to do while I’m over there… this video was useful in giving me some ideas. On a side note, while I’m going to spend two weeks in Japan, the full trip I’m planning is going two be about a month because although, on the way over I’m flying nonstop from LAX to Tokyo, on the way back I’m flying from Tokyo to Guam & spending a few days there before taking the island hopping flight through the Marshal Islands to Hawaii & then spending about a week in Hawaii before flying back to LA. In terms of the price of plane tickets it’s going to be a lot cheaper combining these all into one trip than if I were to do Japan, Guam & Hawaii as separate trips.
Abroad in Japan advertises to foreigners to mass migrate to Japan to change the face of it's native Japanese people with it's dying population, one of the most unconscious evil god can create. And the western gaijin keeps doing it.
This is my opinion Japanese people make it difficult for foreigners so they don't want to live there, then it's not overrun by foreigners and the culture remains intact.
I did that years ago at Narita. I showed up without any yen and couldn't pay the airport tax to leave. One of the staff there helped me out and I got through without the tax. I had to come back in a month, so I looked for that guy and luckily found him. He understood English, so I reminded him about what he did for me and told him I had yen now and wanted to pay the tax. So, he took me to some office and there was another guy there who took the 2500 Yen, gave me a receipt and thanked me, told me that it was very rare for foreigners to do that.
About a week ago I was meeting up with a former classmate's mom out in Chofu and we had some language barrier going on. We walked past a gated apartment community and I was like "are these apartments?" and she goes "That is a mansion" and I was so lost lol. I wasn't familiar enough with Mansion being the loan word for apartment complex in the moment, and didn't think to google it. I thought in that moment that it was just the closest English word she knew to say for the kind of building that resembled. Now I'm circling back to this channel and wishing I had been watching this when it released. I would've been prepared! This trip made me aware how little of the language I know and how much I need to practice. I wanted to communicate beyond simply asking for things I may have needed here and there, but I was out of practice. It didn't help that there was a pandemic between the last time I went and now. Google translate did a lot of heavy lifting, but I don't think it conveyed exactly what I would have wanted.
Loved this edit! The cinematogrphy had me rewinding and pausing to take in the beautiful sights. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE CYCLATHON 3 EDIT! It's going to be SO EPIC! 🙌🏻🙆🏻♀️🙌🏻🙆🏻♀️🙌🏻🙆🏻♀️
As a a supporter of this channel, I am looking to digital nomad in Tokyo but there isnt much info for someone new to stay in Japan for a 6 months period , any chance you could do a video for nomads like me looking to stay , trying to stay like a local and learning more on getting acquainted into local stayings etc?
One thing nobody told me about Japan: our touroperator has no guides or hotel rooms available anymore - in October till mid November! Bye-bye Japan holiday 2024 :(((
the previous episode is missing , I think you forgot to upload it. you said tomorrow is joeys last day as you continue to the samurai town , but here we are with Pete ??? @AbroadinJapan @chrisbroad
one of your best, chris!!! i’m inspired by your clever planning & sense of fun. so nice if you to give their town a boost, as well!! i am certainly interested in adding this town to my “list”. thanks!!❤🍶🍜
Huh, some of those buildings remind me of the old panel buildings from Eastern Europe - cheap,functional way to get a lot of people a roof over their head. Admittedly, what with housing prices now, that is probably what people in Japan were thinking, too.
Okay se my opinion why they do this sh.. -It is for content a devious content -Thinks America and Japan is the same.. both life and law -Thinks japan is very aoft country? And not very aggressive towards tourists(not really) -Bluddy them thinking they all japan people an anime 💀
You can't just say you saw the godfather for the first time and not follow up on your thoughts on it. I hope he brings it up on trash taste if they do a movies by decade list
