  • The first few weeks I started and he would like, avoid mated.

  • He was scared of what happened to use English.

  • And then the really serious teachers were the ones who were the most craziest by some of the most stern, scary, intimidating Thio.

  • It was really just don't you know that we went to Karaoke E and they were just like dancing up and down on the story.

  • First Indian like, uh and I was just sat there like, literally what the fuck is going on?

  • Yeah, it's just a common explain it, but it's supposed to be the most beautiful.

  • Perfect is in Japan, and it lives up to its name.

  • And then after that, sir, You know, I think it's quite going to drive to Hokkaido.

  • It's no near.

  • I'm not near the new are, but it's still not near Cannery Drive under the Pacific Ocean together.

  • Yeah, I know you will think of a way.

  • Have you been to Fukuoka now?

  • I'm not yet.

  • I haven't done a lot of traveling.

  • I'm terrible.

  • It's got, like, a really good, uh, a lot of young people.

  • So it's very sore, active, fun city, and it's near boots on and career.

  • So it could be really cool place today.

  • So that's why probably second on my list.

  • It would be quite cool to even try living that.

  • I've thought about it.

  • Anything I regret, anything I regret since big in Japan, says Devon said.

  • Well, yeah, no having the balls to get out my own Often.

  • Riley's D, of course.

  • The first year or two when I was here, Japanese was awful, rather any Japanese.

  • I learned I didn't have any confidence to use, so I didn't often go out on my own.

  • I have two went out, but I've got my own.

  • Oh my God, I have a very good friend.

  • He's a Canadian chap.

  • Onda.

  • He goes out like, four days a week for himself, if you see.

  • Oh, no, But I'm on the exactly I've got friends.

  • Well, it's definitely not like you used to go out.

  • And it's like they have a Billy No mates character, you know, Big help.

  • And now Oh, the whole city notorious.

  • You could walk down the street.

  • Oh, hey, this is the fella I met, right?

  • Yeah, I know.

  • Steven is not Steven.

  • Steven goes down and he walks down the block downtown areas on.

  • But that's because he just he's been to every bar in town got drunk with everyone, some karaoke and his friends around and gets invited.

  • Closed.

  • Cool stuff on.

  • Also big plus his Japanese Really good as well, or his confidence and ability to speak Japanese is like pretty good.

  • So I guess I should try and do, Uh, yeah.

  • I don't think the Japanese has to be good.

  • I mean, the people that I've met out So Japanese people coming to hang out with us and not the people that couldn't speak the English the best they're like the most fun that we want to hang out with are just the ones that talk lots and have a good time.

  • Yeah, exactly.

  • And yeah, I mean, like that.

  • Okay, so I guess that's my regret not going out and doing what he does because it's market.

  • Clooney plays off.

  • Yeah.

  • Uh, Shane Omar says they are being announced.

  • He was the best thing on the worst thing on dhe.

  • I said, The best thing is you're treated really well as my ot generally across the board most out easy treat.

  • Really well, you have a problem is dealt with quite swiftly on DA.

  • It's quite comfortable.

  • Lifestyle everything's taken care off This apartment is government subsidized, so I get a lot of comments saying, Wow, how's your rent?

  • So cheap?

  • Government subsidy on da Yeah, so it's quite comfortable life and the salary isn't bad.

  • Ah, the only downside is your salaries in game on DA.

  • If you're from the UK or America or anywhere that's not Japan, your salary will have gone down a tongue in the last two years.

  • Dip it in perspective.

  • My salary in pound terms has gone from £30,000 to that £20,000 in two years, which is a ridiculous amount.

  • Money.

  • When I think about pounds and when I think about it, I feel like crime a lot in terms of Japanese money, terms of yet it's actually quite good.

  • You can live a comfortable lifestyle, huh?

  • But the bad thing?

  • I guess it's the timeframe.

  • That sense of you're just some sort of disposable tool that's there for 3 to 5 years on.

  • Then after that, it's kind of like now go, you're done with it and everyone's like we're gonna do after Japan.

  • What you gonna do like two people that wanna stay in Japan.

  • It can feel a bit like you can feel a bit up, can I?

  • Can I stay now?

  • State.

  • Now you've done.

  • You have no purpose now.

  • But of course, I guess great.

  • There's still a great deal of people that I know her loyalties do stay in Japan on dhe, going to do other things.

  • A lot people I know ended up in Tokyo is recruitment consultants.

  • I don't really happened.

  • I went on Go jin park dot com and just look down the list and there's loads of recruiting consultant jobs.

  • But a lot of people carried on teaching in different roles.

  • Different schools.

  • Yeah, I guess that's the bad thing is a time frame and there's no sense of progression or you can't go up on DDE like most jobs, you know, you don't really.

  • There's no long term plan.

  • It's kind of like this is it.

  • You have fun now go.

  • So it's kind of a short term think.

  • But other than that, I'd say is really gets I would say this job's been great.

  • I don't give it knowing out 10 9 out of 10.

  • It's a one off being 10 attempts us Okay, someone said the weight loss is what I'm really wondering about the weight loss.

  • There is a video coming out, probably next week on the hat.

  • Er, I did finish about a month ago.

  • Nothing on duh.

  • Oh, I won't spoil it.

  • But it did.

  • It did actually go quite well on Dhe.

  • Most of stuff I learned over that 10 week period.

  • I'd like integrate into my daily life now.

  • And I feel a lot healthier on duh, unfortunately, went to the UK for three weeks on every day.

  • Just a disgusting amounts of cheese.

  • And I just drank loads about below.

  • And I don't know, I thought I might put away.

  • On the day I came back, I met with my friends, one of my Japanese friends on DDE.

  • She saw me and she saw how this look of abject horror on her face.

  • When she saw me and he hugged me real quickly with Chris, you became a big face and I was like, What the fuck what I say to that?

  • Oh, great.

  • I'm a pig on a big face now.

  • Shit on.

  • I was like, Oh, sure.

  • Sorry.

  • Yet 12 hours later, I was in school like doing a class, and I walked in on little the students when a cruise.

  • You?

  • Yes.

  • I don't know.

  • Like you've lost weight.

  • And I was like, Oh, yeah, yeah.

  • So I don't know if I've lost weight.

  • Put it on whatever, but depends here.

  • I'm around something.

  • Wasn't people, put it, put it on.

  • But I think I feel whatever way it is.

  • They're comfortable being brutally honest when it comes to anyone gaining weight.

  • Have you noticed that you what?

  • Where the Japanese just brutally honest about whether you've lost or gained weight?

  • Another teacher who who's a little bit old and she's look, she's quite elderly teachers in English teacher, for she's not watch anyway.

  • She, uh, I still have the first time in about a year on Owen.

  • How you doing on she was like, Oh, what happened?

  • It was like I was the first thing she said she heard.

  • Oh, he says he really Long time no see.

  • Oh, it's great decisions.

  • Fuck!

  • What the fuck happened to you when I was like, uh oh?

  • Huh?

  • Response And what it's like.

  • Oh, bloody hell, Like, is this insane?

  • If this was another, if this wasn't Japan like people would be pretty offended here, right?

  • I just I was fine and areas, but if I was easily offended, then wow, the first time there I went to school when all the teachers came over and said hello.

  • And I met her on we had They're getting to know you chat and she was like, Oh, you follow that rubbish on DDE had a nice chap about 20 minutes and she walked off.

  • And then she clearly thought we bonded really well at this conversation because then three hours later, she had the confidence to come over once again.

  • I just asked me what she just she just said, Oh, Christian, sir, what do you think about Osama Bin Laden's girlfriend?

  • And I was like, What?

  • What are you talking about?

  • When I was still jet legs, very confused, wondering what's going on, And I was, How do you respond to that?

  • Some of it lands girlfriends, she said, Oh, he did very well.

  • I didn't even know he had a girlfriend in the sex life of the some of enlarging who was dead in the top as well.

  • Yeah, I find the list of strange experiences first a conversations.

  • Uh, who's the funniest person you've met in Japan is you want me to answer?

  • I'm obviously not escape.

  • I felt that Hey, just brings laughter.

  • Enjoy to me every time I say.

  • But actually, he's He's definitely the person who makes me laugh the most and lots of lots of cool Japanese friends that I want to introduce in videos because they're just so cool.

  • Such interesting, like people on DDE.

  • You know, I took nasty to the UK for three weeks and he did not disappoint.

  • And it was even spotted by a really cool guy in top shop.

  • Nasty went off on his own for a bit to do some shopping, and I went off with some friends and he was off with his wife.

  • He also came with this and you went to a top shop clothing shop.

  • I'm one of the workers went dammit, you you not skate and that's really they recognized in the video.

  • Really?

  • Yeah.

  • Guy called Andi is a viewer on dhe.

  • Really cool guy Andi, even he Maskey, unless you say yeah.

  • And that is what the fuck you do here in rural England on da uh Yeah, I was really impressed with that.

  • This crowd.

  • You've been recognized in England when you went back?

  • Uh, no.

  • Well, I was kind of guy was that wasn't really anywhere populated for all the time.

  • That's that's my excuse.

  • But often in the Tokyo and Osaka time, Remember, we we know Sark.

  • We were together.

  • Be a few people came out just to settle a Not the whole story, huh?

  • In the hospital?

  • Stale.

  • Hostile?

  • Yeah.

  • Hostile.

  • Hostile.

  • I never know how to react when I see someone who has watched the video Is that was in a bar in Tokyo, and someone said came over.

  • I was having a drink with a friend that said I really like the video.

  • So that's great.

  • Yeah.

  • Also likes You want to be really humble about it.

  • Yeah.

  • Prepare for a big disappointment.

  • That is really life.

  • Us?

  • Yeah.

  • I'm just going on record at the pub.

  • Drinking beer?

  • Yeah, I know how to respond to that.

  • Uh, what was it like being back in the UK after two years of being in Japan?

  • Yeah, uh, or the first thing I noticed was the diversity.

  • I stepped off the plant Heathrow and everyone was very different.

  • Indian, African, Chinese age.

  • Whatever it was, it was a great degree off diversity on obviously in Japan, where I spent my time.

  • Even when he's in Tokyo in 98.5% of people are Japanese.

  • Ana, that was the first thing I was like, Wow, everyone is very different and I like that.

  • It was quite kilts of that diversity food.

  • And the drink was really good.

  • The first time I walked into a supermarket, I was in shock.

  • I went to the alcohol section and there was like, the varieties of cider, and I think I just cried.

  • Yeah, How is the cider was with that skate?

  • I was like, nasty fucking look at that.

  • I was not sure you would be sorry, because I I haven't drunk any side to be like two years on DA honestly understanding everything around you.

  • Actually, that's really interesting.

  • I notice my eyesight was really bad Wells in the UK, I was like, Wait, I can't see a fucking thing.

  • And I guess it's because while I'm in Japan and I walk down the street and there's loads of Japanese everywhere, though I can read quite a lot.

  • There's still a lot I can't read, and I just kind of ignore it.

  • When you ignore an advert in the newspaper reading for a magazine or newspaper, you ignore the advert.

  • It's kind of like that.

  • Just your mind starts to block things out.

  • So I hadn't become aware that my eyesight was really bad when I was in the Yukos.

  • I can't see a damn thing.

  • It was really intimidating and scary and weird.

  • So I ended up getting glasses.

  • One of us that but, uh yeah, that's what that was a weird thing, I notice.

  • But it was really killed.

  • Actually, Before I went back to the UK, I was worried that the UK was gonna be like Crap is in my head of like o u K.

  • But they sure can.

  • I never read the news.

  • It's always bad, negative things about the UK.

  • But I was there.

  • I was like, Wow, this is actually really good on that.

  • I was driving through the countryside in the morning Axel veteran, which is a really crappy like you agree, masking listening to 19 eighties music in the sun was there.

  • I was like Yeah, the UK is quite good, So yeah, I was really also bad on dhe.

  • I really tried to go back again.

  • Okay.

  • Tom's question.

  • Uh, what do you think the reason for our existence is?

  • Ah, you What?

  • I know why you asking the questions and let me ask them, because I read it first and why you're talking.

  • I'll get this pen and I'll write out.

  • I think you Google talk.

  • Okay.

  • Well, actually, a suit even.

  • Yep.

  • What do you think the reason for existence is?

  • I enjoy.

  • Well, I was actually is reading a block post yesterday.

  • Actually.

  • Was on your website.

  • They brought in Japan.

  • Tuck up.

  • What was that New Year's resolutions?

  • Enjoy?

  • Every day.

  • Yeah, right.

  • My year's resolution.

  • Yep.

  • I'll copy that answer value every day, every day.

  • What was that last line?

  • Well, I didn't phrase.

  • It was like you.

  • I can't think of a way to phrase it could.

  • I don't want to use the light live every day as though it's your last.

  • Because every day I'd be like shit.

  • My gonna die.

  • Okay.

  • I like that game because I think there's a big difference between live every day as if it's your last and live every day as if you had to live it again and you couldn't change it.

  • I saw awful.

  • No, no, no, no.

  • I think it's a better appreciation, cause if you lived every day as if you're lost, you wouldn't like If you're Chris Broad, you just splash all your money, right?

  • You just gotta have a big party.

  • But then the next day you'd be wrecked.

  • But if you lived your if you live the day like you, actually the day wouldn't work out.

  • But if you live your life as if you had to live it again and again was that it is a name for it.

  • But yeah, if we imagine if you died and when you died, you have to live your life again.

  • But you couldn't make any changes, so you basically had to go through it.

  • But if now eternal recurrence.

  • But if if this was your first turn, how would you live it?

  • So it just stopped you from putting things off.

  • Yeah, but also not sacrificing time.

  • That's it.

  • Get a good framework.

  • My advice.

  • Just have a fucking good day ago.

  • That's this implant like up on whenever something bad happens like you spill the milk on the floor.

  • Oh, I see.

  • Well, that's good.

  • If you like.

  • Smash something, don't go.

  • Oh, no.

  • Smash this in the world on, then.

  • Spend next.

  • 10 minutes ago.

  • Yeah, Just go.

  • Oh, it's matched her well and move on.

  • I don't waste time on pitiful shitty little things Don't have arguments with people.

  • Just work out what's important.

  • Don't waste time meant just Yeah, just be grateful for every day.

  • Uh, it sounds awfully religious.

  • No.

  • Whenever you hear the phrase be grateful for the memory.

  • It's this ruined, isn't it?

  • We gotta think of a new and just doesn't it?

  • Have a good day.

  • Okay, cool.

  • Okay.

  • Uh, Chris, if you could summarize your experience with robot restaurant and actually, I'm gonna go there in a couple of weeks if you you know, you don't have to book to you.

  • Yeah.

  • Oh, okay.

  • I'm not going in.

  • A couple weeks ago, I went like this early phase, and now it's like, the most popular.

  • Then you in the whole of Tokyo in Japan say murder.

  • Well, I look forward to going in 2020 if you could If you could summarize your experience, that robot restaurant and its concept in one word.

  • What would it be?

  • Shit, Shit.

  • Wow, that's cool.

  • No shit.

  • Like that's That's good shit is fucking meant.

  • I should go back there actually has changed a lot since I've been people always sending me videos about Rebel restaurant.

  • But again, I think I'm like some kind of expert on it for posting one of the first videos about It is really different now, So, yeah, let's get out of here.

  • The expanded it.

  • So definitely know if you go to Tokyo.

  • Definitely go.

  • It's a miracle.

  • Kabukicho on what?

  • One of the other comments earlier, someone mentioned the let red light district yearly yearly.

  • Yet in person, they said, Where?

  • Where's the red light district?

  • Well, I don't then, so I can talk from experience, but it is in an area called Picture in the Shed.

  • Yuki.

  • It's the entertainment district, and it's right in the middle of Tokyo on the rival restaurants down there.

  • And to get to a restaurant, come feel a little bit intimidating.

  • The first time you go down there because you go down, there's just loads of people coming up.

  • It's very un Japanese.

  • One not harass.

  • Izzy.

  • You have noticed?

  • Yeah, in Nagoya.

  • Try and pull you into the bars and stuff.

  • It's where it doesn't feel right.

  • Yeah, but, uh, yeah, since it isn't coming true.

  • The red light district and rival restaurants say you have already gone out.

  • Okay.

  • What were your inspirations or motives to move to and work in Japan?

  • Main razor.

  • Actually, I was on a plane going to Switzerland in 2009 and visiting my then girlfriend is a ski instructor.

  • I didn't know what I want to do.

  • This was the year.

  • It was a few months before I was gonna start University of Study business in English language on dhe.

  • I didn't know what was going to after that.

  • Although I knew I wanted to travel on the plane.

  • I spoke to this.

  • I was sat next, this middle aged couple with never like we're gonna do after university.

  • I was like, no plan.

  • No, I did.

  • And they were like, Well, our door was in Japan at the moment on something called the Jet program.

  • She's teaching, living in Japan, and she loves it on for the next two hours on this plane to Switzerland.

  • We just talked about Jet program on Japan on it, just other.

  • It's just everything I wanted to do and see.

  • It kind of just represented opportunity that I hadn't heard about before.

  • I'm gonna go off the plane.

  • I was like Canada, Japan, that's awesome.

  • So up until that point, I hadn't really been obsessed with Japanese anime or culture.

  • But I'd always wanted to go.

  • And if you're in the UK, but going to Japan is seen as something that's really difficult to do because it's the other side that, well, it's really expensive to get there.

  • You kind of just go.

  • Someday I'll go and then you'll never get on.

  • But I knew if I went, if I want, I knew if I was gonna go, I want to actually live there.

  • And so the jet program gave the opportunity, and I knew that when I came to power I was gonna try and study.

  • Japanese becomes fluid like it?

  • No.

  • So, yeah, yeah, it was weird.

  • It was just a case of good timing in Los Foot Reagan.

  • It was fate.

  • We had destiny.

  • What's your favorite thing about Japanese language and least favorite thing.

  • The Japanese language all right, it's actually dramatically.

  • It's quite simple.

  • In many ways.

  • The earlier stages is quite simple to understand, and it's quite a fun language to have a conversation with.

  • Obviously, the bad thing is reading a Ryan.

  • Yeah, kanji think it's almost everybody's answer is the reading and writing system.

  • Okay, Nightmare 2010 characters.

  • Till that you eat one, usually with two readings.

  • Look going here takes about 3 to 5 years to become good at the reading and writing.

  • Wow, that's the whole available game.

  • I really like the talking, but like I just started learning Spanish a couple of weeks ago, and it just feels like a breeze compared to Japanese reading and writing because you can, you know, with Ramadi, like with English letter.

  • Sorry, what is an English letters?

  • Um, the alphabet out so much easier?

  • Yeah, Kanji is is the difficult one, definitely.

  • But it's also quite rewarding.

  • Like where I am now.

  • Offer about two and 1/2 years.

  • It's very fun because I can read things on dhe.

  • I can write a love characters on DDE.

  • Yeah, it's really deeply rewarded.

  • If you are able to sustain and continue, the rewards are great.

  • Helen, will you stay in Japan?

  • What's your plan this year?

  • What plan is to g o full time making videos on Japan?

  • You become a filmmaker.

  • It's always been my life's ambition to make movies.

  • That's kind of lose one.

  • Those dreams that you have teenagers are out of your film Director, are you?

  • How are you?

  • Sure you do.

  • And then you gonna go?

  • I'm gonna do that.

  • Give up.

  • I want to stay in Japan a bit longer on DDE have really good YouTube channel about to pound the number one channel about Japan.

  • Whatever that means.

  • It's just a dream.

  • Brought a Andi Yeah.

  • Become a filmmaker on dhe.

  • I don't have any desire to return to the u.

  • K.

  • No, because I don't like the UK because it's awesome, but because I lived there for 22 years very much so and did everything.

  • I want to go and see other things and living in Japan for three or two and 1/2 years.

  • Every day you learn so much more than you would if you live back home to go, Go and live abroad.

  • That's my boy said You never lived abroad because you'll learn so much in one year.

  • One year you'll learn more than you've learned in the last five years in your home country.

  • Yeah, I want to continue travelling, learning, seeing doing, most importantly, basically videos about it and being able to teach people the things I've learned along the way.

  • That's really rewarding.

  • Did you or when did you have the eureka moment that you could speak Japanese?

  • Well, enoughto hold extended dialogue.

  • And how long did it take you to get that far from beginner level?

  • About 12 12 months.

  • Maybe.

  • What I got in to Japan August 2012.

  • I'm actually make a video on this suit because I won't thio retail how I learned Japanese what I did other people, while it's still kind of fresh in my mind.

  • But I got into Japan always 2000 off literally nothing on DA studied really hard, and then after about four months, I knew Funchal and I was really angry.

  • Remember coming to this dinner party this Christmas work party and was really beautiful girl but sat with everyone to talkto on, DA.

  • I just couldn't.

  • She was talking to me.

  • And I was like, You know, what's so on?

  • And it was the most annoying thing because she couldn't really speak English.

  • And we just have these awkward moments and what we couldn't really talk to when I was really went home, I was like, Right, Fuck, That's it.

  • I'm gonna learn.

  • I'm gonna study.

  • So hold.

  • And it took about another 4 to 5 months, but yeah, you can have that eureka moment in about year.

  • Yeah.

  • You study hard on dhe.

  • Things got really interesting.

  • After about two years, things got really interesting, but yeah, my problem was I didn't have the confidence to go and talk to use wide land.

  • That was my biggest floor on defy.

  • Learn another language.

  • I know not to do that again, but if you learn some stuff, try and use as much as you can.

  • Really got stopped in his hand.

  • Grievances.

  • Looks like some sort of looks fine.

  • Shitty dictate what the trump is.

  • My drink is to be the villain in the movie.

  • Tomorrow never dies.

  • You're Ellen are for right.

  • I want to be that villain.

  • And so when I would do anything.

  • I come across this.

  • They don't really use sarcasm in Japan.

  • Is that true?

  • I think so.

  • I use irony in language, but I don't know.

  • I don't really use that.

  • What we do like one's teacher was like, Well, someone said to me something, something like, Oh, you should go and climb this mountain tomorrow.

  • And I was really good maid.

  • And I said something like, I'd rather slam my fingers in the door.

  • Yeah.

  • Why?

  • Why would you do that?

  • It was, uh uh Oh, sure you didn't understand.

  • You're actually gonna slam my fingers in the door?

  • That would be stupid.

  • I'm just don't want to go and climb out.

  • So, yeah, they didn't really get that No one.

  • Ever since then, I've just kind of held off the sarcasm.

  • Good question.

  • Okay, what's your favorite part about the Japanese culture lifestyle?

  • So I'll change this little bit if you could take something back to Ah, the UK.

  • So, for example, you know, like trains on time here and things like that or convenience stores everywhere.

  • What?

  • What sort of Japanese culture would you take back to UK?

  • What you said there about everything working.

  • It's quite interesting point that one thing.

  • It wasn't working.

  • For example, when I went back to the UK with Lasky on his wife, we went and bought a ticket for the London Underground is a day a rail pass.

  • On the first day, his wife, somebody put it through the machine.

  • I just kept not working.

  • It was rejected, and it's like going to see a ticket attendant for the whole day.

  • She could use a ticket shit to go see an attendant to get through every gate of every single underground station in London that we use.

  • And then the next day, Nowitzki's fucking ticket happened to him as well.

  • And we spent the whole day again going to assist in Japan.

  • That doesn't happen.

  • And when I asked the ticket attended in the London Underground Rises ticket share, he was like, It's just London, innit?

  • Yeah, Oh, yeah, it's fair enough, actually, in Japan, that doesn't really happen.

  • Another thing I want to use a vending machine in the U.

  • K.

  • One of the few vending machines that I saw and like the crisps head, when these like twirly ones we go through, It's like slowly comes forward.

  • The president had it uses like a robotic carbon laser tracking system.

  • Each back and has its own GPS.

  • Is the Christmas coming?

  • Got stuck that so you didn't get it to go?

  • That happens in the UK So do you get my crisps?

  • Blood matched the machine up to get in, But so things not working, I don't know what I don't understand why everything in Japan does work, whereas in the UK only half of things work.

  • I can't work out well.

  • Everybody's everyone's really, you know, particular in like on time, with everything in and concede in the society of people.

  • That's all he has to do with the collectivism off Japanese writer.

  • I think I think it's to do with the fact that everyone in Japan, their job is kind of their identity as well.

  • Like it's not just a job.

  • I'm working part time and stories come like I am that job I got.

  • That is my who I am.

  • And if something goes wrong, I have holy accountable for that.

  • That isn't me on, so I don't know.

  • I think that's something to do with it.

  • But I think one thing.

  • I would take that to the UK.

  • Is service quality again?

  • That was cool in Japan.

  • I wouldn't put my phone on.

  • The woman was on her knees.

  • That sounds really bad.

  • Shit.

  • At least it's okay.

  • We're not Life is your phone.

  • Like it was like giving the sword to an emperor.

  • And I was like, he has to Samsung Galaxy s three on duh.

  • Which is a ship if I don't get that.

  • Yeah.

  • And the service quality?

  • Yeah, it's amazing.

  • There's service quotes from testing, and then I rang up like a British airline company to its sort, not fly out.

  • I didn't plan.

  • If you ring someone up there like, Oh, yeah.

  • Wow, you're you're the best.

  • You're the customer.

  • What you say goes in the UK or do you want I Can I change my flight?

  • No.

  • What would you do that?

  • And I just It was really Yeah.

  • I just forgot how it I'm next on that one, like, yeah, I agree.

  • The serviceability is great, like it's it's incredible.

  • Like you go someone you treated famously, but the I think the downside to that is I've got a friend who's is Japanese He worked in a cafe in Australia for a year doing a working holiday, and he's come back.

  • He's working in Starbucks and he said, like it's so good.

  • It's so focused on service that I think sometimes it can lose the friendly, quirky edge that the Westerners bring to it off.

  • You know, it's fun to meet someone with the personality in the service industry, right?

  • Like if if you have a chat with someone of the coffee store or, you know, you just talk about something, it's I miss that about Australia.

  • I think as well.

  • Like being people just being more open, to talk about stuff you know, with a stranger.

  • Definitely.

  • I say, Yeah, that Yeah, that's a good point, really good for it.

  • But getting getting coffee is on time and, you know, have him having everything this year.

  • The service is great, but you know you can't have one without the other.

  • I suppose, you know?

  • Yeah, that's a really good point, actually.

  • Like in Japan again, I can't really talk to the people who I speak.

  • Look, call that sort of friendly banter between witch doctor stuff.

  • And when I went back to the UK.

  • I wouldn't leave her alone.

  • Well, I went to this looks sweet.

  • Shop was my first time going in a shop in the UK I was like, just in all that I could talk to the person that worked in the show.

  • Right?

  • And you can say to them, How was your day?

  • Yeah, way without them giving you a real good look.

  • Remember that the poor woman.

  • I wouldn't leave her alone.

  • Is that about 20 minutes?

  • She was like, slowly backing off across the store like I really took off like I was like, Yeah, let's talk more.

  • And she was just terrified.

  • But this just kept happening.

  • Whenever I went to a store in the UK I tried engage in conversation with people is because I haven't done to do up to two hits into Yeah, and I definitely prefer the Japanese way in the restaurants in Japan.

  • When you customer service, you shall, our stream must and you call the person over and I covered that fulfill your every demand was in the UK.

  • Don't just come over and you're eating your lunch or dinner and then come over like large.

  • And how's your meal.

  • Is it good?

  • And you're like your hands.

  • Good.

  • Look good and pissed off.

  • And I don't want people coming over me.

  • Go.

  • Although, have you had a couple of cars?

  • Have been two here.

  • Have you noticed?

  • Like, if it's quiet there, So ready to serve you that if you're the only one in the restaurant Have you seen the whiter?

  • They'll be about 10 feet away standing against a wall, just staring at you, like, you know, waiting for your drink to get to the bottom.

  • Have you ever had someone just watching you it?

  • No, really?

  • I've had a couple of is a car.

  • I guess I've been a couple of guys.

  • Where you what?

  • The body of some sort of God, He's over there.

  • Way got a Starbucks.

  • Starbucks opened in the town, you know, a week ago.

  • And it was like the miracle of North Japan.

  • People came from far and wide to seethe.

  • Starbucks open on DA is quite nice ability.

  • I've been in there.

  • It's like, made out of like, unicorn face.

  • It's like this beautiful building, and but I'm gonna get it.

  • But this this Starbucks was hailed us almost like a mythical shop.

  • How did you meet your friends in Japan?

  • Uh, sure.

  • I meant that ski in downtown in the downtown area.

  • Right, Liv?

  • I was coming back from her little work party on DDE.

  • He was there with his friend, Anyone finer.

  • And I was like, What's he said?

  • That is always a fun.

  • It's like there's no foreigners for about 4000 fucking miles where I live.

  • And it was Yeah.

  • So All right.

  • Someone who seems quite cool.

  • And he was like, Yeah, yeah, let's drink best drinking.

  • And I was like, Okay.

  • And so we went off and we did karaoke A for, like, three hours.

  • And they're all the reason I like Nazis because he, uh, he knows, like, really good music.

  • He knows more about music than I did like the UK and America, right?

  • I'm looking forward to a video about that.

  • Yeah, I should make, actually, but yes, it was the best karaoke I've ever done on.

  • It was really cool.

  • And then after that, we just agreed to me up every Thursday on dhe practice in this Japanese get drunk addict, Carrie.

  • Okay.

  • And from that, you know, our relationship took off, Um, and then other friends.

  • I just met parties like, if you want to make friends, the best places parties because you're in the social group on.

  • So if you see your some of the party, you don't know, at least you have mutual friends on DDE.

  • Yeah, it's that sort of sense of security that they're not a complete weirdo.

  • If you want, you do need to speak even just a little bit of Japanese, but it will go a long way.

  • Oh yeah, absolutely does not speak in some Japanese.

  • There's a really long way.

  • The questions come a few times about earthquakes is that there's hundreds of earthquakes a day.

  • Money to have a teacher at my school has a computer screen.

  • It flashes whenever there's an earthquake and it shows you all the dots and there's by the end of the day there's hundreds, but they're so small we never really fill them.

  • In fact, for the time that I've been here, I've probably fell about three.

  • I was sitting at my desk eating from a chicken, as you would expect something different.

  • What they get up for this toe like romanticize the plot of this short story, but I was actually in fried chicken.

  • I remember it vividly.

  • Andi, uh, my phone, The Samsung History that I mentioned earlier when these went fucking mental, I was like, What's going on?

  • I turned over and I couldn't read it because at the time, I ah, the warning warning system.

  • It's like a red flashing thing.

  • So I thought my phone was just like a battle.

  • It was a bomb in it or something.

  • I was terrified, look scary and then all of a sudden, like the whole room.

  • But I like I'm in a big apartment block about four stories and it's big concrete building.

  • They just start going like this, some sort of ride a thing.

  • Parker rocket ship.

  • And it was just I was just sitting there like this is What do I do now?

  • Like just going back with the force of about 30 to 40 seconds?

  • No, I thought should I stand in the doorway?

  • Because I thought that's what you're supposed to do.

  • But I didn't.

  • I didn't think anything would come of it, and it didn't, but it was a bit weird.

  • Another time.

  • My school.

  • What happened on the whole building had this really scary creating noises like, 00 it was terrifying.

  • I was like, Wow, but obviously the buildings are built incredibly well.

  • Total move on.

  • They are able to move to the earthquake, which is why they don't fall down.

  • That, yeah, you won't actually feel that money if you're when you're here.

  • Yeah, you either of you watching the animate we're going to animate after coming to Japan.

  • Actually, my favorite animate is GTO Great teacher Onizuka.

  • It's about this this guy who's a gang member who just becomes he wants to become a teacher.

  • It probably for questionable motives that include attractive girls, which is a bit worrying because he's 20 and his students are like, What, No.

  • 20.

  • But the reason It's funny.

  • It's just cause he's just this ridiculous man.

  • He's not a teacher.

  • It always just this gangster and his methods of dealing with things just brilliant, just punching teachers in the face to get things done.

  • But it's really funny.

  • So GT a great teacher, Onizuka.

  • You can find a lot of it on YouTube, so go there.

  • And also death Knight is quite good.

  • Death Knight did you know one get made into a drama?

  • I don't know much.

  • Would've foreign of wanting to teach in Japan have a hard time if they're after to use your Ah, expensive.

  • They covered up.

  • Yeah, if you have tattoos, keep you covered up.

  • My problem.

  • I have a few friends.

  • You have tattoos under their share and they consume.

  • Only problem is if you have a tattoo, you can't really go in and on set and on Said is the best thing about Japan as far as I'm concerned on Sen is a hot spring hot bath on DDE.

  • Her bath ng house.

  • They're amazing.

  • They're just so nice.

  • If you have a tattoo, they're kind of like Don't get out now.

  • Yes, sir.

  • Yeah, to hide it.

  • People watching someone in terms of videos.
