Transcripts
I lived in Japan for one year as part of
my degree and when I returned to the UK
I found myself feeling really down for
the first few months I couldn't watch
anything related to Japan because I got
this overwhelming feeling of sadness it
felt like a piece of me was missing and
I swear I could feel physical pain right
here back then I had no idea how to deal
with these emotions because I had never
had a problem with homesickness and
homesickness isn't really applicable to
missing a country you've lived in for
only a year or at least that's what
people say a few years have passed since
then and I got over this feeling of
sadness now it's just warm nostalgic
memories but part of my protest for
overcoming that was narrowing down the
things I miss the most about Japan so
here we
go traveling in Japan is so
convenient especially compared to the UK
and it's also much cheaper than I was
expecting you can get to pretty much
anywhere you want unless you're going
like really deep into the countryside
and then it becomes a little bit
trickier but you can still get there and
it doesn't take forever and it doesn't
cost my
kidney and most importantly transport is
reliable it's on time you know it will
arrive I truly truly miss that because
here in London anytime I'm going to go
on the tube I have to check tube status
and see what lines are working what
lines are not working properly minor
delays severe delays can we not why
can't things just work here anyway that
this is not a UK rent but I also hate
how I have to add like let's say 15
minutes of extra travel time whenever I
go out just in case case something will
go wrong and I also miss the jingles all
the jingles it was so fun it it kind of
Cheers you up why can't we have jingles
in the UK or in Bulgaria why can't we
have Jingles it's only the warnings of
like train approaching or stay behind
the yellow line or mine the gap between
the train and the
platform but here's the thing it's not
only the affordability and the
reliability of the transport system in
Japan that makes you want to travel more
it's the way they have completely
mastered marketing their own country and
regions and Seasons now hear me out I'd
say most of us have heard the whole
thing about Japan has unique Four
Seasons and I know a lot of us make fun
of that selling point because it's so
overused but there is a strategic point
to it it's brilliant marketing because
obviously Japan is not the only country
that has four seasons Bulgaria has four
seasons also let let's be fair Japan
actually has five seasons because the
rain season is just its own thing but no
one markets that do they anyway winter
is like come and see our snow festivals
come to Hokkaido come to our ski resorts
come to Tokyo or Kyoto and experience
all the illuminations That's Unique
selling point for winter and then you
also have the unique selling points for
food related to Winter for like soup
curry and soup curry in Hokkaido and you
also have like the little omag like the
little treats and special
Delicacies that you can only get in a
specific region and you go that region
to get that you know and then you have
the whole Sakura marketing for spring
and then you have summer and matsis and
Okinawa and then you have Autumn and
liub and Mommy it's
brilliant and it makes you want to
explore the country and if you can go to
different regions each season so you can
experience the variety that it
offers and it not only boost tourism
from abroad but it boosts tourism from
inside the country it's amazing and I'm
like why don't most countries do
that I feel like Japan has found the
perfect balance between wild and
man-made nature for a brief comparison
the UK excels at man-made nature with
perfect imaculate Gardens and parks and
well-maintained National Trust sites
I've done my fair share of rambling
through forests in the middle of nowhere
they still feel man-made the UK also
doesn't have Wildlife apart from foxes
and deer so there really is no
wilderness
on the other hand the majority of
Bulgaria's territory is just wild nature
forests and mountains inhabited
predominantly by animals with life
spurting all around you it's a place
where you have to be cautious of bears
and wolves and bors and other creatures
that will happily kill you and when it
comes to our Parks the bigger they are
the less maintained they are with that
feeling of untouched nature always there
Japan has mastered both and I absolutely
loved that I could experience the
calmness of walking through undisturbed
nature while you're still living in a
big city I especially miss this feeling
now that I live in London because just
the idea that I have to walk through all
the monotone concrete and Bricks just to
get to a perfectly organized park or
walk down the thems makes me not want to
go out at all the only problem I have
with dep Pan's nature is the huge bugs
but that's a topic I refuse to discuss
again so if you are curious about that
then you can check out this video
because I am not talking about this
again I also really missed the silence
on trains and I don't just mean the
people being quiet I mean that the
trains aren't obnoxiously
loud Victoria line okay so this is the
Victoria line heading towards Stockwell
and it's absolutely deafening
and also the general cleanliness both of
the public transport but also public
toilets come on they were so clean I
miss not going into a store and having
to check how clean it is and then
deciding if I'm going to use that one or
I have to move to another one because
here in the UK and also in Bulgaria
whenever I go to public toilet I'm like
is this okay no is this okay m is this
okay H is this okay yes
in Japan it was just like I open the
door it's perfectly fine I use that one
come on come on Pro ju just be clean why
is it so hard for people to be
clean I miss Japan in the streets
also with some exceptions the general
condition of the
streets is
clean and if for some reason they stop
being
clean it's a surp fries and it's not
handled that well just to give an
example where I lived we were very close
to like a mountainy foresty area so we
had Wildlife we had bores we had deers
we had
monkeys and we were specifically warned
about this and thankfully it never
happened to me when you would go to
7eleven there was like the slightest
chance like the slightest
chance that I'm monkey would grab your
bag out of nowhere and then it would SPO
or that they would go rumaging through
trash cans outside of buildings and then
they would make a mess and that
definitely happened and I remember that
for about a week that mess just remained
there and it wasn't cleaned up by anyone
and I also remember seeing for some
reason umbrellas just stuck in fences in
random place or whatever or just in the
greenery and they also weren't cleaned
and removed it was like it was so out of
the ordinary that nothing was done about
it it was kind of weird but aside from
that and maybe that's just something
that happened where I lived it's so
clean and people were just generally
respectful and polite and it was nice to
be greeted with a smile when I went
shopping or when I went to
administrative stuff and people would
also be respectful to your personal
space to an extent because I say when
you're a foreigner things get a little
muddled and sometimes curiosity beats
the respect for personal space but
generally they would respect your
personal space and that was
lovely the care that they put into the
food and into the service that they
provide is just on a whole different
level LEL I don't think I've ever had a
bad meal in Japan except for when I went
to a more Western
restaurant and the combination was just
odd or when I went to a and the food was
just again odd like not something I
would eat like a jelly fish something oh
no apart from the odd food I never had
bad food in Japan and I loved how I
could completely trust Google to
navigate me to a restaurant and know it
will be good even without looking at the
you know star system and that I could
also just go to a random place that I
pass by on the street and it would be
good and it won't be stupidly expensive
cuz that's the other thing eating out in
Japan is so affordable and there's a lot
of variety out there there yes you have
a lot of variety in the UK but it's so
ridiculously expensive and honestly I
think it's about time more Western
countries start adopting the ordering
through tablets or vending machines like
going into a Ramen place and ordering
your food on a vending machine come on
and you know what because I can't suffer
alone here's a video montage of all the
food I miss
how have I ever lived without comines
and why am I continuing to live without
cominis explain this to me why isn't
Comin a standard for everywhere in the
world no local supermarkets don't count
Tesco press does not count those are not
comines okay they are not was I addicted
to 7-Eleven yes yes I was and I am not
ashamed to admit it why can't I go to a
convenience store here and be faced with
a tiny little wo of supplements and I
can just buy one collagen jelly or like
a little bottle with vitamin C and I can
just chug it and be energized for the
day for like what 150 Yen tops I don't
know how inflation is affecting prices
in Japan now but I'm pretty sure when I
was there there it was about like 100
yen or 10 and something
Yen and no one can convince me that a
meal deal can beat an
onti no one no one can convince me of
this okay and why can't I just go out to
my local store and buy like a 2 L B
bottle of unsweetened green tea or
another variety of Tea unsweetened no
sugar listen carefully to me UK and
Bulgaria and the other countries in the
world that don't do unsweetened tea in
bottles unsweeten tea in bottles is a
great and untapped apparently
Market do it I'm begging you and also
warm and cold drinks in winter and
summer and I don't
mean like the Costa coffee machines that
we have here in the UK you know I mean
like the bottled bottled coffees teas
whatever put into a warm how do you call
that what do you vrina how is that in
English Okay Google says showcase Window
Shop window window dressing show window
set out somehow that still doesn't sound
right so uh a picture of what I mean so
imagine that filled with warm drinks in
winter and then code in
summer why is this such a hard concept
H vending machines on every corner this
will never survive in the UK okay I know
it will never survive here it also won't
survive in
Bulgaria why see see this is why we
can't have nice things why are we like
this as a society here why can't we all
agree that these things are convenient
and nice to have and we should keep them
and maintain them and protect them like
just imagine imagine when it's cold
outside when it's like -5 and the wind
is blowing and it's really cold and
you're waiting at a bus
stop and there really is no shelter
because bus stops here anyway this is
not a UK R but so there is no shelter
really and you're freezing and then you
have this vending machine where with the
Press of a button and for like like
let's say a pound 50 you get a bottle or
a can that is filled with warm tea or
coffee or hot cocoa and not only can you
drink it but you can also use it as a
warmer okay imagine that how nice it
would be but no
no only in
Japan the umbrella thing was absolutely
adorable and I wish we had had that in
the UK which is a country where it rains
a lot and it still no it does make sense
why we don't have that here because
umbrell will just get stolen because
that's the country we live
in but what I mean by the umbrella thing
is that You' probably
noticed that in front of companies in
front of restaurants they have like
these
little umbrella holders and you just
leave your umbrella there and you go
into your shopping and you're eating
whatever and then you come back and you
take that umbrella and you go in your
Merry way you don't drip water across
the floor you don't get water on your
clothes as you're trying to hold it and
do your shopping at the same time it's
just there waiting for you and yes
sometimes someone will take your
umbrella by mistake because most of the
umbrellas kind of look alike and by that
I mean they kind of go with
the see-through umbrellas you know in
the white or black handle and then it
just kind of see through and that's like
a very typical umbrella that you see
there so they all kind of look the same
but hey someone take of your umbrella
and then you're just taking someone else
umbrella and that's just how it works
and I think it's a great
[Applause]
system now I will explain this through
K-pop concerts because that's the only
actual comparison I can make so I went
to five K-pop concerts in Japan
and I've been to a few here in the UK
here even when the artists are singing
you will hear
screaming you will hear people singing
very loudly and sometimes the audio is
so loud because it's trying to
compensate for the people screaming and
singing that it just kind of becomes
noise and it's like you're not really
there to listen to the artist perform
you're there to kind of experience the
vibe of the concert whereas in Japan
when the artists are singing people are
quiet okay there is silence with
occasional maybe humming and yes
sometimes there will be like a scream
somewhere in the distance or near you
whatever but it's not like all the time
and you can actually hear the artist
singing and the audio is more balanced
because they know that that's going to
happen and you're there to actually
experience the music and also at least
the concerts I was to they were all
seated so even if they were front of
stage they were seated so you're still
able to see you don't have to worry
about the people in front of you pushing
you or someone being way taller than you
and you not having like a clear view no
you have seats and you sit and you watch
and if you do get up there is no pushing
because you have your seeds you can't go
any further and it's nice and chill and
that's what I want from a concert
because I'm not the crazy partying type
of person I don't go to a concert to go
wild and dance and whatever I go there
to enjoy the music and the show that's
what I'm there for so I really miss that
aspect of concerts in Japan or
specifically K-pop concerts in Japan so
yeah I have never felt safer in a
country never and I miss that feeling so
much so incredibly much now that I think
about it my heart starts to ache again
just for that feeling of safety because
I had absolutely no problems traveling
alone I never felt threatened in way I
mean of course I was always cautious
because I know I have to be and there's
no way to shut that brain that part of
my brain down but I felt so
free when I was traveling I can't even
imagine traveling by myself in the UK or
walking at night by myself or just with
another girl whereas in Japan we had so
many night walks with my friends and it
was perfectly safe and quiet and
peaceful even in the center of a city as
big as Kyoto and I also did didn't have
to really worry about people and
especially men approaching me maybe it's
because I didn't really go to the party
places to city center clubs and bars and
where people were drinking or maybe it's
because they had like the Foreigner
protection I don't know but I never
really got approached in any way and I
didn't have to worry about it I mean
apart from some people who are like oh
you're a foreigner why are you here blah
blah that's fine doesn't matter I never
felt unsafe whereas just to compare it
to here in the UK I think within my
first month of living here I completely
gave up on wearing skirts and
shorts because some people unfortunately
are disgusting and because unfortunately
there are way too many people like that
here so yeah I miss not being scared of
getting
mugged getting approached by weirdos
getting you know sexually harassed in
some way I just miss that I also miss
being able to reserve a spot at the
Starbucks by just leaving my back and
not being scared of people taking stuff
from my back you know and I really miss
going to 7-Eleven for a code coffee when
I'm spending a night studying
and maybe most importantly maybe I
missed who I was back in Japan somehow
being there made me very friendly very
bubbly energized excited to talk to
people to go to new places and try new
things and experience as much as I can
within the one year I had and maybe it
was also because I was placed in classes
at University where I was the only
Foreigner so it was kind of expected
from me to be the one who is you know
the friendly bubbly one who was trying
to spark discussions and get people to
talk in
English and all that stuff but I just
really miss that part of me and at the
same time I was also very calm and
content with where I was at in my life
and even when I was stressed it was
enough for me to just go out going to
walk around the neighborhood and look at
the architecture and the Little River
that was flowing through the
neighborhood and just the trees and
nature and I felt content I do have my
moments of being bubbly or of
contentment is contentment a word
contentment yes it is anyway so you have
moments of those feelings here in the UK
I also have them in Bulgaria but they're
not as much as they were in Japan and
also somehow I felt like I had my life a
lot more organized back then and I had
built these systems that really worked
for me and made me feel great and I kind
of wish I could do that here and
Implement them within my life here but I
find it a lot more difficult to do so
but that's a me thing right that's a me
problem thank you for listening to me
bubbling on I would love to hear about
what you miss and love about Japan
and if you would like to hear about my
experience studying in Japan or about
how I study Japanese then you can check
out these videos thank you for watching
bye-bye
