i found out that everything that you shouldn't do in japan is exactly what you shouldn't do in any part of the world. it's not because people do these things in their countries that they are ok, and not where (most) people don't. there's something that's above all social rules, culture and etiquette. it's called common sense. if you use it i bet you won't commit any gaffe in japan, even if you don't know much about its culture. like i don't need to watch a 5 min video to know that is not ok to be loud inside places like trains. do you think only in japan people are disturbed by that? even things like sticking your chopsticks vertical in your bowl of rice... you don't even need to understand why, it just doesn't look nice and appropriate... it's intuitive and naturally you won't do that without the need of being told, unless you're a child and want to play with your food. this video is a waste of time, pretentious bullshit of people trying to show off their knowledge. you sound like someone who is in japan for very short time and is overly impressed by things that are totally normal. lf in your homeland people throw garbage on the streets and in japan not, it's not japan that is different and great, it's just your country that sucks... it's just normal, it's what you expect and how it should be everywhere... nothing special! oh you really think only in japan people avoid negative talk? do know that a lot of non japanese people in western countries take off their shoes before entering their houses? you don't need to be japanese to understand that streets are dirty and your shoes will bring dirt to your house if you walk with them inside your house... japanese dont say shoganai for everything. they do speak their minds, complain and argue in a very passionate way... not all japanese are passive and weak like that... maybe you should meet more japanese specially from other regions... like osaka or fukuoka. there are many rude and very loud japanese people. cause before being japanese they are humans and they will do exactly the same things everybody else in the world do, just in different ways and frequency. so you don't need a manual of how to behave in japan. if you know how to behave in your country you won't go wrong in japan. this video is assuming you're a retarded non civilized monkey and need to be instructed about so obvious things.

I have two questions:
Is there very much/any cilantro or coriander in foods in Japan? I'm legitimately allergic.
and
Is short hair on women seen as anything negative? -
Damn, that's much like live-action tumblr. Stepping on the verbal minefield.

Just remember: Japan is not the USA so don't expect to say "I have rights " it just make you look so dumb
-

I like your channel, but the volume in all your videos is so low that is really difficult to hear you
-
My mom would fail at not standing out! She scream-talks all the time ! I don't mean it in a rude way but she's a latina and whatever tone she uses she sounds like she's screaming LOL

Just keep the saying, "the nail that sticks out must be hammered down'' in mind. But seriously, I wish Americans were a bit more considerate in restaurants. It's not fun when you're sitting across the table from someone and you can't hear them because all you're hearing is the table across the restaurant.

Seeing this video of yours for the second time. You sure have improved!

Hi am a vegetarian, can I ask them to prepare something without the meat?

日本に、来てね〜
It is next in japan
Japan is an awesome place to visit, and no one should let "rules" get in the way of that! But Japanese culture can be very different to what we're used to at times, and some things we do that may be acceptable for us can be surprising and rude in Japan. My husband, Jun, and I put together a list of the most common things we see that can cause trouble (I speak from the perspective of having done all of these!) Mainly, this is if you plan on establishing yourself in a Japanese community through work/family--if you're visiting as a tourist then you don't really have to worry so much about it. :) As a foreigner you won't be held to the same standards as Japanese people, but if you want to give a really good impression then these are some guidelines you can follow! None of these are things you HAVE to do. They are ideals and not always the followed practice. I just always think it's better to know the ideal standards and then you can choose how closely you want to follow them! Rule of thumb: Just think about how your words and actions will affect the people around you before you do something! It's as simple as that. :) Useful Japanese phrase: shouganai (しょうがない) - It can't be helped. It's pretty similar to "shit happens." You're essentially letting a bad situation slide off your back instead of internalizing it. FAQ: "Can I still listen to music/text on the train/bus?" Yes--sorry I wasn't clear. I meant only making a call on your phone. You won't be strange or rude at all if other people can't hear what you're doing! "So you can't be outgoing in Japan?" Of course you can! Sorry for being unclear on this, too. By "don't be emotional" I meant negative emotions. Everyone loves happy people! And some places it's perfectly fine to be loud--just take your cue from the people around you. :) "So I shouldn't go to Japan? I'll stand out anywhere." Again, sorry for being unclear! Yeah, foreigners are going to stand out, period. Mainly I meant through actions and not looks, but even then Japanese people don't expect foreigners to know their customs so it's fine to make mistakes! I've done EVERYTHING in this video (and still do some of them), which is why I wanted to talk about it in the first place! "What about customizing food if I have allergies?" A lot of restaurants list common allergens on their menus. If you're not sure you can always ask! And you can always ask to see if they'll customize your order--it's just never worked for me. "Do I have to talk like a robot like you? :( " No, I just suck at public speaking.（° ▽ °;）We had like maybe a dozen subscribers when I made this video and never expected it to get so much attention. I had no idea how it would end up being perceived and if I could do it again so I didn't sound so "strict" or "uptight" or scare people off from Japan then I would in a heartbeat! My new videos are less crappy. Sorry! :( For the opposite perspective: "What not to do in America" for Japanese people - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tYCQ661FII ★ Patreon! http://patreon.com/rachelandjun ★T-shirts & Merch! http://rachelandjun.spreadshirt.com/ 【You can also find us:】 ×Gaming channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/RachelandJunGame ×Extra videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/RachelandJunExtra ×Jun's Kitchen: http://www.youtube.com/user/JunsKitchen ×Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/rachelandjun/profile ×Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RachelAndJun ×Twitter: https://twitter.com/RachelAndJun ×Instagram: http://instagram.com/rachelandjun ×Our blog: http://rachelandjun.blogspot.com/
