So the big question is... Do you enjoy that commute?

[richpav]

Would anyone? I make use of the time by listening to podcasts and watching videos on my iPod. When I get home I don't watch any TV.

What would make the commute intolerable would be to dwell on the thought that I'd rather be somewhere else instead of on the train. I try not to do that.

Do people look at you weird when you're walking around holding a video camera?

[richpav]

People look at me weird even when I'm not walking around with a camera.

when you said the Canadian embassy is pretty nice inside did you mean like nice or nice for a Canadian place saying Canada doesnt normally make that good of things?

[richpav]

Are you an overly sensitive Canadian who can't take anything anyone says about Canada at face value? It's a nice fuckin' embassy, not a high-security foreign compound under enemy siege like the American Embassy where you have to strip down to your underpants and submit to a body cavity search just to pick up some goddamn tax forms. Sheesh.

[jstarrulz]

yeah i remember when i visited tokyo, and they had little arrows on the ground that tell you which side to walk on. They looked pretty annoyed if you went on the wrong side like the silly tourist i am :P

[Edo111567]

Holy crap that's a lot of work just to get to work.

[DanielR305]

thank you for doing this video because it really gives you real insight into Japanese culture. Also how orderly everybody is is so amasing and funny to watch but I wish, people in the UK main cities like London and Birmingham were orderly like this then maybe we would get to a to b more quickly like the Japanese do but wishful thinking though lol anyway thanks for the video
