on my visit to japan, i tried to shop tax free, but found out i had to lose a lot of time, becouse i had to wait a lot for the cashier to do the free tax sale, so i decided i didn´t care, so no wasting time xD
How does it work with the sneakers as they said I had to take the box from the store but could wear them to leave the country…but then Don Quixote said we can’t open the sealed bag before leaving or we could need to pay the tax
in reality no one cares at the airport what you boght couse no one will check what you bought. In theory it could happen that the toll at the airport will check online, what the taxfree stores reported back to the toll but they would only do it if you bought crazy expensive stuff worth thousands of dollars which you could consume in the country. I guess you are not going to eat those sneakers in japan. Therefore you are save with buying sneakers and wearing them. just keep the receipt and dont throw them away. if you bus stuff tax free you have to take them with you out of japan. If the toll asks you where the items are and you cant show them. then you will be in trouble. as long as you can show them. you are save
Very nice and all but one is thinking about the other. Most people has the mindset of i am on vacation i can do whatever i want if i paid, rather than thinking about the locals. Matter of time before more Westerns move there and you have gentrified areas full of Westerners in japan.
Other than "hikikomori" and "karoshi", you missed out "kodokushi" and 'johatsu". All these social phenomena are much more prevalent or only exist in Japan, and were first recognised and named in Japan. These social phenomena are now increasingly common in South Korea as well.
thank you for your comment. im planning on making a part 2 where i am going to talk about these topics. Do you have anything else you want to hear in an upcoming video?
When i think of japan : Samurai, hentai, used schoolgirl panty vending machines, karaoke, tentacle porn, sake, geisha, hard work pride, clean streets, tight social cliques, maid bars, anime & manga, wierd tv adds (pussy noodle), 1000 kit kat flavors, pearl harbor, seppuku, suicide forest, yokai, katanas and wakazashis, sushi, tea ceremony, tranquil gardens, shin megami tensei, school class rooms, huge metro system, bullet train, awesome language, miso soup, ninjas.
Well they makes sense, people needs sleep, common road decency needs to be enforced on usually narrow roads(which is majority of japan have), and waste management is needed to be enforced to follow protocol (garbage do get collected mind you)
everything is thax free, that you dont consume in japan. if you are not planning to eat that bag in japan, you can use tax free if the shop offers it. In reality no one will check at the airport what you bought tax free. they just scan your passport and you are ready to go.
Them japonesitos tan listos pero de penjamos. Tradition means crap to Mother Earth and your society is already dying off the face of the earth that you need if you want a future with the rest of earth
that sounds pretty fair. I flew from Tokyo to Munich Germany with Lufthansa and it was 1300€. Despite Lufthansa beeing one of the worst airlines ive ever used was it pretty expensive too. Did you like flying with Japan Airlines. I heard, that the comfort and servvice is very nice.
@@NioBanba Couldn't dream of using anything else than a Japanese airline to Japan as it feel like cheating, next time maybe try to get ANA. We flew through Helsinki, and Finnair goes this route aswell
It depends where you stay. Rent is for example way cheaper on hawaii than it is in tokyo. If you want to get the same roomsize. Food is cheaper in tokyo. daily life articles are basically the same if people buy in cheap stores. For example the prices for non food goods are almost the same in Walmart and Don Quijote.
1 learn Japanese before you move. 2 pay won’t be a problem just make your money elsewhere online. 3 they are well prepared than any other place to deal with “natural” disasters.
you are right with number 2. For number 1 it is really difficult to move to japan becouse of the writing system. Most of the official papers you have to fill out (for example for the government, rent, bank, etc are most of the time in japanese and kanji). When people are lucky they get hiragana and katakana versions of the papers. But that happens hardly and only in one of the 3 big cities. If people move to the countryside, they will get lost in the jungle of kanji very quickly. For number 3. Yes, they are well prepared and the infrastructure and buildings are well prepared too. But the foreigners arent in most cases. If for example an earthquake occures, foreigners will be standing around without knowing what to do most of the time
@@NioBanba for someone who has experience the Japanese papers are not forced on you. Every country in the world has multiple languages of the papers so that won’t be a problem. Also when you go to buy a house or when you talk to people just ask them what to do about earthquakes etc or even just a quick google search 🫤
