過去簡單式

I thought he wanted money and so I looked away.

I thought kangaroos are violent creatures...

I did hear that they are slack about timekeeping.

Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese, it's Cathy Cat.

We went to the streets of Tokyo and asked Japanese people,

what surprised them about foreigners, live abroad, and foreign cultures.

I have been to the USA, the UK, France and a lot of places.

You went to Germany you said guuurl? - Yes I said that.

And Germany was totally your favorite country ever right?

The best country was Germany. It was so beautiful.

I really like the beautiful brick streets...

Just walking on those streets made me happy.

Have you sometimes spoken with foreigners?

In our English classes in school, we would sometimes get teachers...

When you went abroad what was your "Wow that's shocking" moment?

When I went on the train, a person suddenly started to sing.

That was in France. I went on the French metro...

and was shocked that someone started singing on the train.

Did he sing or did he ask for money afterwards?

I thought he wanted money so, I looked down...

I mean I had to listen to it, but I tried to look to the floor.

Have you had surprising moments, when speaking with foreigners?

Foreigners are surprisingly good at Japanese.

Maybe it was because they were teachers but when I didn't understand anything...

they would explain it well in Japanese to me.

Even though it was an English class, they would teach me in Japanese.

I was surprised that they were so good at speaking my language.

Another shock was, that I won't get free bags when shopping...

That was probably in Germany...............

I saw people put items into their own bags and realized I needed to bring my own.

That's why we have so many popularly printed eco bags!

I was surprised that those eco bags were actually needed. I started bringing my own from then.

Since I am German, I wanna hear about that the most.

What surprised me? The potatoes were bouncy.

I thought they were tasty but the bouncyness was surprising.

There is nothing on the train platforms in Australia.

You mean you can just get on the trains without barriers? - Yeah.

What about the tickets? - You buy them on the train. That was shocking.

Is there a machine on the train? Or staff?

There is a machine inside the train where you buy tickets.

Did Australia live up to your expectations?

I used to think that kangaroos are violent.

But in real life, they were all sleeping. They looked so relaxed.

But they were selling Kangaroo Jerky in stores.

It shocked me. - You didn't feel curious to try it?

But I couldn't eat it after seeing real kangaroos, cause they were so cute.

Talking with foreigners here or seeing them portrayed on TV,

They know more about my favorite anime than me! - Yeah they totally do!

In Australia, the teachers who teach Japanese language knew so much about our shrines.

I was so surprised to hear that they knew even things I didn't know.

Anime like One Piece and Naruto... foreigners know more about those than me...

I met one who knew more about One Piece than me...

He knew so much about Japanese anime, that was pretty impressive.

You thought you knew a lot about One Piece, but actually there are more facts?

It was like that. He taught me about background settings and such...

I thought "wow he knows a lot." - Who was that?

A friend from university who was a foreigner.
