i can’t see dis vid!
I can relate to all but number 7.
That was a really good clip – twas intresting. One of the better and less embarrasing ‘foregner in japan’ vids.
Im really surprised to see photos of smoking areas up there though! Ive been 4 times and never taken a pic of one.
Maids, cosplayers and harajuku should be on there instead!
That Canadian chick at the end was insane…
I enjoyed it – it was fun. But did anyone else notice that all the foreigners were European, North American, Australian? Predominantly white skinned and English speaking? I think the vast number of foreigners here are Chinese, Korean, Philippino aren’t they? Am I being too analytical?
IMO, European and North American etc look different from the most of the Japanese so they are likely to be picked up as gaijin, but it is not easy to tell Chinese and Korean from the Japanese by the look so they are least likely to be identified as a foreigner.
lol the best thing about this clip is the japanese dubbing. the australian middle aged guy who said he liked the “kaodashi” panel was the best. they make him sound like a deranged villain.
I would of thought taking pictures at Harajuku would have made the Top 10. I have been to Tokyo multiple times and I always make it a point to stop by Harajuku.
It was a very interesting clip! I never knew smoking areas were so popular. I’d thought Japanese toilets are more interesting.
Japanese have some good-looking tourists.
Damn, those dubs were insane.
I think we should haev food displays all over the world in the major cities, make things easier for ppl visiting and dont know what food to get
