:( poor girl
- This popped up my Youtube recommends too. Those places look brutal.PhanLo
- I'd love to know how many of my YT recommendations are global and how many are from the QBN bubble. I'm sure the latter has some input.Nairn
- I'd watched a short thing about those places before, but I reckon there is some QBN crossover for sure. :-)PhanLo
- i think i saw this before on qbnrenderedred
- Seems like both people are depressed. It doesn't seem like they can't afford to live elsewhere. I wonder where they keep their stuff?sarahfailin
- "QBN" Bubble for sure...keewee
- they keep stuff in locks, coin lockers are stations. seen it myself when i lived there. there was a guy that 'slept' at a 24hr restaurant... very neat and tidy.shapesalad
- That guy is doing the 'digital nomad' thing all wrong. He should buy a laptop and go work from Okinawa or Fuji Five Lakes...yuekit

Nearly everyone wearing masks.
-- was like 40% of the case before any of this covid stuff.shapesalad
- masks are more culturally accepted there.
if you're sick from cold, you wear a mask. and people expect you to. At least city area anyway.pango - ^ Yeah defo from being there people are just polite and wear them if they have a cold. Can't imagine any anti-mask protests there.PhanLo
- One of the upsides of a collectivist culture.mort_
- also part of workaholic culture. if you're sick, just wear a mask and keep working.pango

Just finished this 6 episode series on Amazon Prime. Had no idea who James May was but I grew to like him.
- Frankly insulting to Japanese culture. Like having a Japanese guy ground UK poking amusement at oldman pubs, sausages, trash on street, binge drinkers & beans.shapesalad

- Awesome. Love Tokyo so much. Were there when wife was a few months pregnant so didn't do as much walking/sightseeing...microkorg
- ... as we'd usually do on a holiday. Probably wont get back until kids are old enough to be hauled around a big city like this lol.microkorg
- It's a great place just to wander Microkorg. Found a few of these videos online, really like the sounds.
My son was about 10 when we went, he loved it. :-)PhanLo - Yeah think thats about the age they can appreciate it or be in awe by it. A friend took his two boys around that age to NY and they were blown away.microkorg
- Love this country. Wife and I considered moving there. Thanks for posting.bezoar
- Same. My first trip only recently. Could have quite happily sent for our stuff and the dog.MrT
- I like their attitude to immigration. Monocultures work,Doris_McSquirter

- Does self-isolation mean we're going to see shades of the old internet, as here? If so, CoronaVirus 2020 might just be worth it!Nairn

Out singing karaoke in Yokohama a few weeks ago and someone sang a song from The Blue Hearts - which I really dug. The Clash of Japan!

"Even the decades old machines are free of any kind of vandalism. I would love to live in this kind of respectful society!"We have a lot to learn from the Japanese.
- I found it crazy those being out in the street, even ones selling beer. In Scotland, people would shag them.PhanLo
- the japanese are a homogenized culture. everyone is cut from the same cloth.hotroddy
- @hot, nicely put. +
