I Show The Cultural Differences Between Japan And Other Countries (30 Pics)

that cockroach tho...lol

A lot of hidden prices in US

Cat got fish :D

Why are people in other countries naked?

Japan has always been a very clean and generous country.

Dang it! I wanted to drink a toast with a monkey!!!! :’(

i love silence

If you're in Malaysia, just stand in the doorway and pee inside.

When I was stationed in Japan, it was explained to me that Japan is an island with limited resources. Much of the produce and meats are brought from other countries; or grown specially for the market (like the square watermelons) ... thus the high cost of some foods!

I live in the US and I approve to this

That's what I noticed the first time I came to Japan. I was walking on a street between empty field and there you had a vending machine in the middle of nowhere, nothing else.

Oh. OH!!!! Maybe this explains my mother-in-law!! We kept insisting "Do you not want something... more? We will get you any---" - "No. KFC." .. okaaay...

Haha! We indonesian can't eat if its not spicy

I have to agree with everything about this portrayal.

Actually, that sounds like a good feature, they should do this with other phones.

The reason is not that the person is thought to be a Yakuza. The reason is that you can't forbid only Yakuzas or they would get mad. In order to work around that, since they all have tattoos, this excuse was used. So if a Yakuza gets mad, they can say it's the rule, nothing against them.

I feel that Singaporeans generally let passengers get off first, those who dont are usually the older people who may be ignorant or impatient with a sense of entitlement or tourists/foreigners.

I feel so bad...

That's so true! In see old people here and they're more active than me!

I don't think you took the train in the summer ... I can assure you they are and look sweaty in the work suits.

Now this happens in the USA and it's very annoying. I've been at restaurants and had people at the table next to me with their smartphones cranked up loud so the kid who's hardly touched his food can be entertained.

Say "Mata ne" instead. It means "See you later."

That's how you stay slim in japan

Maybe it depends on where you are in the US. I'm from southeastern Virginia and people definitely greet me with a smile and politeness. No bow though.

this is a good idea actually

Second one is also the US

Wait, is not polite to smoke in public areas, like in the 2nd pic?

US is just outlawing it instead of providing a place to do it. But hey, you can smoke weed everywhere though! /sarc.

That's mostly Tokyo in my experience. In other town, not all respect the rule. I even saw people smoking while standing on the non-smoking sign painted in the pavement.

Sorry, outside is outside.

hmm since the smoking areas are getting to few and far between you see people revert back to walk and smoking even if it's electric

i need to be in the first one because in indonesia there is a lot smoke people :(

When I was in Dotonburi, there were some smokers on the sidewalk and for sure it was not a designated smoking area.. But yeah, in Singapore I head to detour just so that I can avoid the smoke.. And in the Philippines, the smokers in public are lessened but still you will find jeepney drivers who smoke while driving and even some taxi drivers reek of smoke and it's a closed space.

And pretty much everywhere else too. I can't sand where I am now AND if I say anything, sometimes they get angry at me for actually asking them to move away from the bus stop. They smoke hanging out of the store's door they work at, or there's a cig in every hand walking down the sidewalk.

The US is more like Japan these days. Smoking is banned in a lot of places, including many public outdoor areas.

Not in Osaka

I disagree with this, it was hard to find a restaurant in japan which didn't have that sneaking aroma of cigarette smoke. It drove me mad! Even the hotel!

I heard sushi chefs spend like 7 years just working on rice so it kinda makes sense.

Most of Japanese have an inferiority complex about English pronunciation. We (I am a Japanese) think that it is impolite to speak in poor pronunciation.

That's in the USA too...people letting the kids run wild on public transportation.

Anyone else who always says "all right" independent of boiling hot or ice cold water?
