14 REASONS WHY I LIKE LIVING in England | what England has and Japan doesn't| England vs Japan 

too right mate, I feel like sometimes we think of the UK as not all that great when in reality it is mostly a fantastic place to live. Also always interesting to have a foreigner's perspective on our own country.

Im not English and i love her video. I liked Japan lot.

it's just kind of weird to me, I went to Japan and I appreciated the rice fields and mountains more hahahaha

Its very true,we take so much for granted

I'm British and have been had the pleasure to have spent some time in Japan and loved it but you have made me like my country again!

Yes, it would be great if the government and the BBC also found out that there's an England beyond London.

@@despacito2390 I feel kind of bad about having cast a cynical political complexion on this lovely, refreshing, sweet post. But I do have an aversion to London-centricity. It may as well be a different country to the rest of England.

Yeah it's rare to here someone talk positively about us.

@@jonathanwalker8730 that's not true. the bbc have moved a lot of production up north these days. i have actor friends in the north who tell me that a lot of the big studios are hiring more and more northern actors, and filming more and more in areas like manchester, salford and yorkshire as opposed to london.

I think that's because u do need to drive around to get to the countryside so tourist tend to miss out unless they go that for like hiking or camping

we have a beautuful country its just london thats a massive dump the standard of living i had in greater manchester was fantastic and i am just a labouer i moved back home because of the scamdemic and if i wanted to stay in london i will be living in my dads couincil flat for ever

It's a shame really because everyone is too obsessed with this frat, drinking culture and "living the life". I think the problem in the UK are really the people who live in the cities and the peoples mindsets. She seems to be exploring the best thing country can offer, the countryside.. I used to do what she does and pick brambles with my family when I was younger, miss those days and I feel like that sort of thing is lost on the newer generations.

Easter European here You guys have a great country. Here are some things I have here that I never had back home: -respectful policemen (I was stopped once while a bit buzzed and they wanted to give me a ride, as I was walking near a highway. Didn't ask wether I was sober and were super friendly, chatted about how I feel in the UK, work. I think I might be the only person who ever told them "This was nice" after they got out of the police car) -the concept of "to each his own". My people seem to be making a living on gossiping about other people's lives. At work, I have to meet people from my home country. Their topics of conversation ar generally the same, judging others all the time. I've made some good Brit pals. If they talked badly about someone it was so they'd let me know why they are frustrated with that person and never went in great detail or even insult that person's character. Most people wouldn't care if a guy grew his hair long, or a woman cut hers short. Back home, something like this is on everyone's radar I work for a big company, switched departments a while ago. At the old department, when something didn't work, the Brits would say "those fkin idiots" referring to the ones on the other shift, had a laugh and just made it work themselves. Where I am now, 70% of my colleagues are my nationality. God forbit something goes wrong cuz you won't hear the end of it soon. - people do drugs more openly here.. some might see this as a negative. But personally, I'd rather know that one can do with their body/mind what they want and not fear prosecution as much. - opening a business is less compkicated around here. My mate opened a Coffeeshop. He had some routine controls. Upon inspection, some faults were found but no fee was issued. Rather, he was told what to look out for and fix it as soon as he can. They told him when they'll return, and they didn't. Back home these controls are a serious source of stress for the owner of the business cuz the inspectors WANT to find faults and issue fines. They are often rude and come on purpose when it's the busiest. - a well documented government website.. I could find out all I needed to know about my taxes, right to get student loans, NHS coverage without leaving my home to go 5 different places and stay in line just to ask questions as I'd have to do home -decent wages. Back home food prices are about 50% cheaper for most foods, but minimum wage A MONTH is like 300pounds. Let me put it this way: I work for 20% above the minimum wage in England without qualifications and I'm paid triple the wage of my best friend who's an electrical engineer with a Bachelor's in Science The list goes on and on.. I prolly would not be able to finish venting for another hour

when i first visit to your country? i was like wow. everything is nice. i never thought about British moaning, racism, the humour and the sarcasm and everything shown on tele. i used to like Little Britain as i'm gay and civil partnership with an English guy.. we been together since 2003. from the good image of your country and kindness and polite very similar to Malaysia ^^ .NOw today do i still feel that way yes and no because the negative remarks this that overcome of me loving the Britain is gone. i'm dissapointed because racism and antigay are so bad in Britain and USA. yes there is racism in Malaysia too but not as bad as you guys. sorry to say . i feel more peaceful walking in Malaysia with my English partner eventhough im aware illigal i Malaysia. but if you asking me to walking freely in Britain is a nono to me. after the Brexit now i konw half of you country is racist. sorry to say same goes with USA. oh well thats reall life sucks

Sorry to vote for brexit because of tired of ppl? That is the most excuse I ever heard. That is so racist

And no wedding ring 😏

As I understand it, politeness is taught in Japanese schools.....

Her name Shizuka is very fitting

@Fckin Zyzz Brah what the fuck?

@Fckin Zyzz BrahWe've all seen them... just a very out of place comment mate lol

"Hope your stay here is a long one." Could we make that a 'PERMANENT' one, please ?

Sorry Japan, Shizuka is now one of us. Her heart is pure.

@@marvinc9994 damn that got dark fast

@@DirtyGeorge "got dark fast" 'Dark' ? Sorry, don't _quite_ get that one..................................

londoners are rude when i lived in manchester i was on me way to work in rush hour in piccadilly gardens and to me delite everone was queing for the bus

I learned the basic courtesy of thanking someone when they open the door for me. It’s a cultural thing, I guess. You learn to be grateful towards others when you live in Britain because practically everyone behaves that way. I’ve even thanked automatic doors! Britain changes you, for better.

English politeness is disguised passive aggression, it's just many countries don't see the subtleties in our language usage.

@@heresjohnny602 i feel like passive aggressive doesn't quite capture the true nature of it but I see what you mean.

No one is ruder than the French; I think.

Yea she's gonna love going strawberry picking!

I was watching a show called Paul Hollywood Eats Japan he paid something like £3,000 for a single strawberry!

Thats so sweet! England is like an old aesthetic movie! Id love to live there escpecially on the countryside♡

I was out for a walk the other day (here in Scotland) and was surprised to see loads of raspberries out in one place, though they will probably be better in a few weeks time. There were also lots of wild blueberries higher up where I was walking (what we call blaeberries). I am sure I have seen wild strawberries (as opposed to cultivated ones), when I was young, though I think they are rare. I recall being in the French Alps and there were lots of wild strawberries, just carpeting the ground in some places. They seemed to be as abundant on the ground as wild blue/blaeberries are here in some moorland/mountain areas! I remember a woman from Prague saying that there were lots of wild cherry trees over there. I think there are some planted ones in some parkland near where I stay and I vaguely remember eating some as a kid, but they tasted pretty bitter. I probably ate ones that were not properly ripe though! A friend who is from Sweden originally said she used to go out into the woods and pretend to be an orphan and eat berries etc. when she was a kid!

blackberry jam just hits different

Even English people are negative about England.

Every country has people who are negative about their own country.

Why do you have an SS pfp

@@user-ii2jo4nh4j I'm a history buff and idc if it offends anyone

@@RHNGaming fair enough

Why did you leave?

I would be somewhat embarrassed if a charming, polite woman asked me to explain some jokes.... I had to explain that " toss in a bag " could have an alternative meaning in England in one you tube comments section.

And often more land i.e. a big garden.

Aye, new houses (Flats) are soulless and dead...

Shame we're overrun by grey ones though, the Red Squirrel is our native one, sadly not many about because of the greys.

@@unwrittenwizard910 I had no idea! Where do the grey ones come from??

@marcusmalone The grey squirrels are from North America. The native red squirrel is now rare, especially further south. I grew up near London and never saw anything but grey squirrels. I now live in the rural US, and I still see the same grey squirrels everywhere.

@@thel1355 thanks!

Bit cuter than the old possums eh?

Unless applied in the USA, who just can't grasp them :-)

I just searched the image of red squirrels, they are super cute😍 I love how animals in the UK are so tame.

@@Bob-67 Grey squirrels carry squirrel pox. Unfortunately our beautiful Red squirrels don't have any resistance to it which is why you can now only find them in a few places like the Isle of Wight, the Lake District, parts of Wales and Scotland. However there is currently a program of vacinating red squirrels against the pox and they are slowly making a comeback.

@@shizuka7697 grey squirrels are an invasive species from America. Mainly displayed the indigenous red squirrel, found mainly in the northern parts of England

They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is ...

Count Stephen Fry is that you?

@Shaun Mclaren Good, don't come here then.

@Nick Nack What has Wales done?

I'll be honest the thing I noticed most when returning from abroad is the amount of drunken aggressive a-holes we have that don't exist in the same way abroad. She must have noticed them. All I can say is she's very polite and a great advert for Japan.

or Scotland and Wales if you get the chance if you like mountains

not mountains like in Switzerland but human-sized mountains you can get up and down with good strong shoes and an extra layer of clothing, a bit more than hill-climbing in a day In the UK a mountain is over 1000 feet 300metre tall

@@ianprince1698 a mountain in the uk is 2000ft 👍

I mean I’m only staying in England because free health care, if they got rid of that I would be gone.

I love too! I am from Russia (moved here 21 years ago).

@@watchingatlas1512 How do you know. That was only one of the reasons she mentioned besides it's not really free as she'll be paying tax and NHI

@@wolgainuk that's great to hear this country is amazing

@@mandomayhem these are my reasons: 1. I absolutely love British climate, it suits my body. I do not like the heat or drastic cold, mild British weather is perfect for me. 2. There's so much countryside everywhere. Even if you live in a city, the countryside and green places are so easily accessible. Also, it doesn't take long to get places in Britain. I live in Preston (North-West of England). The Lake District with its mountains is only an hour and a half (at most) away from our house. Manchester, Liverpool is only 40 minutes away. Even if I want to get to London or Edinburgh it's only 2.5 hrs on a train. 4. I love fell running! Britain is the country of fell running. 5. I like British people's national character. On the whole they are friendly, accepting, humble and have a cool sense of humour. 6. I love that you basically can have a job with a minimum wage and still survive here. 7. The education is free, there are so many opportunities only if you are willing to make effort and put your mind to it. 8. I respect NHS, even though it has its problems. I had 3 children in British hospitals and can't fault the experience. There are loads of more reasons. Maybe I should record a video about it.

I'm in Glastonbury, this place is eclectic in the range of people. Vibrant, kind, hilarious and historical. As soon as I see the grass and hills, happy calmness comes soon after.

As a Welshman, I agree. We have a lot in common for sure, but there's quite a lot of wonderful differences too.

You are welcolm Katalin 🙂

I was given a book that described how Great Brittain arrived at the government system that it now has. It took a 1000 years and is a brilliant read.

A bit like the English themselves.

@@billbo7630 are we beautiful or invasive lol

Spot on . Best solution is let the people leave if they hate the own country and let people like this lady who loves UK.

@Al Tudy it is possible to prefer real history which does not censor the bad things done and to also be aware of those bad things and how they are still affecting the world and still appreciate the many good things about the nation

That’s not necessarily true, I think most hatred is positioned towards our incompetent government. The country is beautiful (if you avoid London)

It's not fashionable it's a realistic and valid feeling considering the politics, racism, low wages, high property costs and the older generation. It can work for some people but don't invalidate people's struggles you cretin.

It's wonderful humans like this lady that make me remember why I love it. Narrowboats, they're normal to me but still beautiful on a spring day. She has a stunning voice for our country, so grateful for the kindness in her words.

34, seen one snake slithering through someones front garden once. But we've got lots of slow worms, natures fake snake!

@Mr Spoon I think we have more than one species, but we only have 1 thats venomous (adder)

@Mr Spoon We have 3 types of snake that are native and 1 known invasive species. The adder, the smooth snake, the grass snake and the invasive one is called the Aesculapian snake. (slow worms are legless lizards). Only one is venomous, that's the adder, which you need to be careful of, but most people are fine if bitten.

I accidently picked one up in the garden a year ago. Grass snake about a meter long - not poisonous.

Most are in the government

I recognized it too! Grew up near Banbury

England and Britain aren't the same thing.

@@spl0tt1 England is in Britain, I know because I’m born and bred in England nearly 78 years ago!

@ASL 72 Keep low, move fast. Onwards and upwards my good man.

@@MrJPEZ123 Fire and movement, old chap.

Why is that? I've lived in London for 30 years and not once have I ever had a problem. Let me guess. Too many foreigners? Ignorance as per usual from some wannabe be toff.

@@recruitmentch wannabe be, nice.

@@MrJPEZ123 eh?

It looks like Banbury to me. The roundabout, Banbury Cross and some of the narrowboat images look like they are from Castle Quay.

@@grollgrimm5827 oh cool. I live close to manchester

A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

@@willwh9228 not only do I appreciate the meme, but I wholeheartedly agree.

That's all universal healthcare systems, except in America where they pay more in taxes to their healthcare system but still don't have a free healthcare system 🤷

That's true but it is totally free if you can't afford it and have never even paid taxes. It's not discriminatory. You can be homeless or a millionaire and still get treated the same.

basically like our nuclear weapons, except we are never going to use them.

@@EvsEntps its not the same. In the UK a billionaire and a poor person have the same access and rights.

@@EvsEntps not the same at all, 40 million don't have access to any healthcare in the US , nobody goes bankrupt in Europe from medical bills , whereas in the US 600,000 go bankrupt every year

There are insects that can spoil your afternoon. None that can spoil your life.

@@digitig I'd say the worst is probably a false black widow, but it doesn't do too much harm compared to a black widow (though apparently there have been sightings of a few black widows?). If we're on about snakes rather than insects then I'd say an adder is our worst, since it's the only venomous one haha. It can kill but it's very unlikely to if you get treated for it in time, which you have quite a large time span for. So, you're pretty much right. The fact that on a list of the most dangerous living things in England there is stinging nettles in the top 10 goes to show how safe the country is when it comes to wildlife! We're so lucky!
