I learn some thing especialy watching you as a Gaijin experience. I guess clothing in japan if people wear large size there out of luck unless they ordered in online. tokyo is where you can find people speaking englished that's good new's
as a young Latina planning to visit Japan I wanna thank you for these videos xD but the clothing thing was so discouraging. I'm curvy (not fat lol) so I guess I'm shopping before I go over there
i have a question that is importent to me so please answer if you can and my question is that when i go to japan for college how will they react to a guy with long black hair that has a tattoo on his forehead and wears gothic clothes? will they ask me to change my clothes and cut my hair?
I'm a not very large (at most a medium in america) and I was not able to find and single pair of pants/skirts that fit me in japan. I love the fashion though. Nice videos
Woa, i want to go to Japan!))) Im 150 cms, hopefully i wont have problems with finding clotehs in Japan.. Actually i think its harder to buy clothes here in Russia, than in Japan))))

hm I remember I had a few problems with cloothes in Korea... :D Hmmm I think if I go to Japan I need to bring a lot of pants :D I am 172, is it considered tall in Japan? I feel average height actually (except when I was in Korea and wore high heels lol)
dude give me a break please. you are making me so miserable. 5'11'' is a decent size even in America. they say the average height for American male is 5'9''. in universal standard, If you are 5'10'' You are considered tall enough and you are complaining that you are 5'11''? sorry for being sensitive but if you are 5'11'', you are considered tall in japan.
So if i am 5'8'' am I tiny in the States? please respond
That's cool you are an adult small. I am too an adult small. I was buying a shirt in Japan over the summer, and the saleswoman asked if I was sure if I wanted that size because it was too small on me. I had not known that about the sizes. I will remember that next time I am in Japan. By the way, this shirt still fits me, but it is the smallest shirt I own.
yes it truly is a fine balance that i worry about as well. there are some aspects that i know will never change just due to the environment alone, but there are other aspects that i see constantly changing. sadly some are negative. i.e. childhood obesity due to western foods, and proliferation of violent crimes.
yeah. sadly that's true. so i guess if you really want to live in a traditonal japanese area Kyoto is the place! at least that part of japan wont change. i hope not!
@unrested Change happens in ancient countries, I once heard from a japanese exchange student here in sweden that he was tired of the "old mentality" in japan, the extreme racist and sexist system that is, and the extreme comformist commerical culture that japan has today. The "inhuman" competition in schools. The youth is afraid to stand up he says. i think it was an interesting opinion, all countries need to change.
The world is interconnected. It will be inevitable that other cultures will adopt other values.
You have to be careful with how you go about your argument - you'll start sounding like a Nazi when you talk about "nations keeping their cultures to themselves" and stuff. Not saying you're a Nazi, but just be careful how you say stuff.
Well i understand that,but I'm just saying they should keep some of their rich culture and history and not turn "completely" western. It's always nice to have a traditional area. at least in some parts.
LOL MACDONALDS AT EVERY CORNER!! LOL!!! hope japan doesnt have to many western fast food resturants or they'll be the country knowed for far people like we are! lol
Can you give a more detailed explaination on being discriminated about your sex please? I'm going abroad to Japan this year and i'm a girl so it's really important, Thanks.^_^.
basically if you wear over a women's US 8 in dress you're pushing it in finding things EASILY. you can still find things even if you're over that, it just takes some searching. if you're tall i cant say im like 5'2" so...yea. with shoes anything over 8.5US womens i say good luck finding anything. i wear between a 8-8.5 i can easily fit a LL shoe. its a bit weird though, i've been told my foot is too big for women's but too small for men's, so i was stuck searching for whatever fitted.
yea i can make an explanation on japanese women clothing: ive tried on womens japanese clothing. basically my friends and i follow a rule, if its a naturally loose-fitting top its ok, or one-pieces work. (but if youre smaller chested go for whatever) pants are just bad in general unless there's a GAP, H&M, or Forever 21 nearby (cuz they sell western clothes) japanese womens pants are basically cut in a way that you'd have to be very slim-hipped to even get them all the way up.
unfortunately I am already well aware that I'll be very lucky to find any clothes at all in my size as I'm 6'4" and a bit of the bulkier body build type so just about everything I'm going to have to order online.
It's kinda unfortunate that some of the traditional arts are dying out but i suppose that was to be expected. Hopefully Japan will not become a copy of western countries as its uniqueness is what makes it so great.
not at all they are still going strong. have you watched my faq on kimonos? if you are interested in their place in daily japanese life let me recommend it.
hi im a girl from mexico could i survive in japan with 172,000 yens ( japanese currency) per month?
which japanese city is the cheapest one in accomodation and food ?, the reason to get japan is because i will take a researching programm for education ( im teacher ) so, im not worried about the university costs for japanese course because the program will pay for all the school charges . i need ur help cause they give us freedom to choose university and town
you are thinking of sakura which means cherry blossoms. in april they bloom and become very beautiful but only for about 3 weeks. After they shed their flower. These are so beautiful in fact that the japanese have hanami matsuri which is flower showing festivals. If you want to see more of these please watch my Osaka Doc. entitled My pathway.
I'm 5'7 and weigh around 126Ibs (I'm a girl)...Will I have trouble shopping for clothes? I am traveling to Japan next summer and staying for 2 months. I just want to know if I will fit or will I have to buy all my clothes before leaving the USA.
Sadly that is rather tall in japan for a girl so you may find yourself having some trouble with shoe sizes and well fitting jeans. Shirts might not be too big of a problem but as I said the above may be a problem.
i have been asked this alot lately in the questions people have been sending me and I gotta say it a bit of a long answer so to answer this I plan on making a whole seperate video of my own personal story of why I came and how I got here. thanks for watching please send me anymore questions you have and I will be happy to answer them.
