Lolita and Crepes!
Heated toilet seats!
Taxis!
Taxis are so expensive here!
I cannot have them.
Hey it's Cathy Cat and today I am gonna go and ask the foreigners in Japan
What they envy about Japanese people or Japanese lifestyle.
Let's go and ask foreigners in Japan.
I think the winter! - WINTER?!
- There is no winter? - Yeah Thailand is super hot.
I really want winter.
And she says snow.
Oh that's a nice one actually. Snow is nice.
- Have you been skiing in Japan? - Not yet
- Do you want to? - Yeah! Maybe next year.
They are really free about what they want to wear.
Cool and funny, Lolita.
You mean the freedom of fashion?
All the fashionable people here in Japan!
People on the streets they are so fashionable!
These kind of clothes we don't have in my country, the Netherlands.
All the shops and the whole atmosphere actually.
Any fashion you like particularly a lot?
I really like Lolita.
Like your style.
Lolita.
Lolita shops. Lolita and crepes.
I love just Ramen restaurants.
Easy. Just press buttons.
You get to give it to the chef and you get your ramen.
It's way better here than in Australia.
Lolita fashion you said?
There is not enough Lolita at all. You can only buy online!
Even though the Australian community has a lot of Lolitas...
Everyone buys online.
I am going to my first meetup when I go back to Australia.
It's very exciting.
- Good luck, have fun! - Thank you!
I would say Disneyland and Disney sea!
Disney Sea has a character we don't have in Germany.
No way to buy it either.
I am so jealous! And then the clothes!
They have so many nice clothes and shops here.
You have great shops here. Even the same shops we have like Claire's.
It has brands you can't get in Germany.
I am so jealous that Japanese have all those opportunities.
To clarify for our viewers, which Disney character can you only get here?
Oh right. Duffy.
And ShellyMae. Those are the two bears.
And I think the cat, but I don't know its name.
It's a white cat.
Those are three characters you can buy in Paris but...
you can't get them online. Here you can even see them as large characters.
who will walk around and you can take pictures with them. Can't get that anywhere else.
- Clothes wise, what brands do you like? - Liz Lisa.
I thought so.
Today I am not even wearing anything from Liz Lisa apart from the scarf.
Normally I wear all Liz Lisa but today was our last day
I wanted to travel light.
Do you wish you could wear and buy these clothes in Germany?
Yes definitely, for example when I am in paris...
They have Axes Femme and I always go there
just to buy something in that style.
Normally I need shopping services to help me.
Would be nice to have all of that in Germany.
Maybe... one day...
300 Yen noodles!
That's actually what I am really jealous about. Back in Melbourne
a bowl of noodles is $15
Whereas here, 300 Yen is about...
4-5 Dollars. All the cheap food!
You mean not Cupnoodles but proper restaurant noodles?
Yeah proper restaurant noodles. Today we got some soba...
For 400 Yen.
It was really nice compared to Melbourne.
Since I have been 14-15 years, I listen to Japanese rock music
including Visual Kei.
But if you look at the prices when importing CDs and DVDs...
the same item which costs 5-6.000 Yen is about 220 Euros. That's just painful.
And going into a second Hand store in Harajuku you can get the CDs super cheap.
and sometimes there are even older versions of the CDs.
Sitting at home, you get jealous how much you'd have to pay in order to get it.
And that's often a reason to not import it.
Well, I wish we had that, but that's another reason you have to COME to Japan.
Heated toilet seats.
Just the fact that the...
toilets themselves
the stalls give you a lot more privacy.
Definitely I don't wanna hear what the other person is doing in their stall.
Lots of personal privacy as well there...
The transports are never late.
In France when they are 10 minutes late...
they are happy to not be more late.
So here it's really nice.
I really like public transport here.
In Germany you generally get delays and here...
it works. Getting onto the train is fine too.
Even when the train is full you manage to get out of it.
In Germany you have to fight a little so you can get out at your stop.
here people make space for you. It works.
Sometimes it's too hot suring summer.
And Mosquitos!
There is a lot of moskitos.
They are vicious! It gets that big, right!
You know it.
Taxis!
Taxis are so expensive here!
On our first day we took a taxi...
From the airport to our hostel it cost us...
24,000 Yen!
We didn't know. - That's painful!
It was a really big mistake but at least we learned something out of that.
With smoking, you can smoke anywhere.
In Australia you can't smoke inside.
So here in restaurants it smells like smoke ...
I don't like smoking.
In Australia, in no place you are allowed to smoke?
You can't smoke inside. You smoke outside
But you don't smoke inside.
Otherwise you get fined.
In Japan, where did you go when you were surprised?
We are staying in Ikebukuro and...
A lot of the restaurants are very full of
businessmen that are smoking a lot...
Especially late at night.
Smoking is a thing you don't envy, what else?
The cold. The cold is very...
COLD!
It's not as cold in Australia but it's very cold at night here.
The sidewalks honestly I don't like the brick.
It looks good but when you wanna take a skateboard out...
It does not conduce of the skateboarding.
Because it's lots of little bricks next to each other? -Yes!
What I realized when I came here... I came here to enjoy the food but...
We had a look at Lawson and 7/11 and similar...
And I realized food in Japan is wrapped up so much
those foods have a short expiry date, like hot dogs and hamburgers
There were some burritos that lasted for 2 days and didn't look that good either.
We don't have that type of food culture in Germany.
I am looking forward to eating normal food in Germany...
I am not that jealous of that plastic wrapped food culture.
I saw some plates that didn't look that tasty either.
I mean they tasted ok but they didn't look that good.
Too much plastic wrapping.
Yeah, for example.
Yeah you get plastic bags for everything too even when you try to turn it down.
I don't know how to but when you say you brought your own bag...
Then they pack your things into your eco bag...
but then add a plastic bag into your eco bag which defeats the purpose.
Japanese people don't seem to understand the concept.
They don't have cheese.
And I am the crazy French, I love cheese.
So I need my people to send me cheese here.
There is NATTO (fermented beans).
I cannot have them.
Maybe the concept of saving plastic hasn't really arrived here yet..
And garbage separation!
Yeah separating garbage isn't done as strictly as in Germany either.
We really saw some examples there.
We arrived at our flat and everything was clean. Then came New Years...
We had 5 days worth of garbage sitting there.
There is a little room where you put your garbage. The door was open...
We live in an apartment with many floors. The garbage of all that flew out
We had garbage bags lining the whole way up to our door it was gross.
The street was lined with garbage bags.
I am not jealous about that. In Germany we have garbage bins.
Here it's all out.
Garbage bins are a bit more practical.
What are you not jealous of?
We rented a little flat here but...
I found it hard to live in such a small, confined space.
I am looking forward to going home and having my own space.
Here everything is a bit smaller and space efficient.
Exactly, I had to get used to that.
If you live here for a while it might be ok but for two weeks...
I am looking forward to going home.
Fantastic those were all questions, thank you.
The director of Ask Japanese is dancing.
So things we envy about Japan!
One thing I thought about this morning...
I was leaving the house and my backpack only closes with a little clip
There is not zip or anything like that.
I just thought how nice it is not to constantly have to worry about
my bags or my luggage.
In Europe once you go on a train you need to take care of your luggage,
You need to grab and hold your bag in front of you
always take care that no one has the chance
the easy chance to steal things out of your bag
or steal your whole bag.
It's nice to not have to worry that much about it in Japan.
Of course...
I am sure there are pickpockets here in Japan but not as many.
and not as often and generally it's very safe and people just don't...
randomly steal stuff or sabotage things.
Sometimes shops will have their goods delivered very early
So the goods stand in front of the store until it opens.
And no one just steals it.
There seems to be a culture of "If it's standing around it's your fault"
"so i can steal this". Which I don't think is right.
In Japan people respect that and leave it where it is.
They don't go out and destroy it because they are drunk
That's a part I envy and I wish we could integrate a little
into our cultures. That got really serious all of a sudden,
I felt a bit passionate about this.
And the director... what the hell are you doing?!
That just took all the serious out of this conversation!
Let me know what you envy about Japan.
Would be nice to hear your opinion.
I am looking forward to reading your messages.
Catch you here soon on Ask Japanese.
Or maybe on my channel. Catch you soon! Bye!
