Hi how many timed can I use d promo code
Ghib is moving from food into Japan -Singapore relationship. Ghib is our new foreign affair ambassador.
This is so neat because I used to go to the same Japanese class as Jeremy back in Singapore a few years back! It's such a small world! Cool to see that he's living and working in Japan now! :)
May I know which jap sch in spore did u attend?
@@Angela_teo We went to Ikoma school at Orchard Road!
@@Blablablarandomguy thank you 😊 I’m checking out on jap classes to attend..
Do u know if jcs is good? I cant decide which school to go to
A wholesome video, may they be happy where ever they decide to stay. Singaporeans will always miss our food lol!
お近くにいらしてたんですね。楽天は、COVID-19のワクチン接種の職域接種枠を世田谷区と連携して区民に開放してました。大きな会社ですが地元との共生にも力を入れてる企業で、普段は表面しか見れませんが、この動画で秘密の内側が垣間見れて本当に興味深かったです。
けんたさん、いつもありがとうございます！楽しんでいただけてよかったですー！
I worked a few years in a Japanese company in Singapore before and because majority of the staff were Japanese expats, it was almost like working in Japan lol. As far as I could remember, Japanese companies place importance on two things at the workplace : Teamwork (no rambo please) and Office Harmony (no unnecessarily disputes, tension and quarrels).
In other words… A Comformist culture with no Individualism thus leading to a lack of Creativity and Diversity.
@@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSGYou just described Singapore.
Soo .... Communism in any other name
@@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSGthats y companies like fts
Yes but also they are very mindful of hierarchy and take forever even for simple decision making
Holiday in Japan: Yes
Work in Japan: No
Work in Japan, for a traditional Japanese company: Hell No
Working in Japan is very dull in the office as people can`t really chat with one another. It`s constraining and salaries are much lower than Singapore! Japan is an extremely top-down rigid hierarchical structure. You don`t have an opinion. They are not benefits or perks. They are installed so that all the employees can spend more time overworking and so you can still have a haircut or massage chairs there. Unfortunately, most Japanese dislike Chinese people in general ruclips.net/video/kDN35ZU6dqs/видео.html
@@camella1978 Yeah. Even the Japanese themselves want out.
As a woman, I would never choose to work in Japan over the US or Singapore.
@@janemuses3031 Oh yes their glass ceiling is very very low.
@@janemuses3031yes unless u r prepared to make coffee n tea everytime theres a guest etc
Ah great enjoyment to watch video.
Thank You for your beautiful video🌷❤️
Wow...wonder how do you get a chance to feature Singaporeans who have blended so well into the Japanese culture. If given the opportunity, I will definitely want to work in Japan, Japan was one of my top country that I have visited in all my travel experiences
This week's video is funny. The real Japanese is dressed like a SG in casual TShirt and spoke wah lao Singlish while the real SGreans did the exact reverse. You all exchanged roles/ nationality, is it....🤔😅?? Wooo la la, Rakuten office with all the whatever free food, snacks etc sounds like Google, Apple offices. For me, I am surprised bcoz didn't expect a japanese office to be like that. LoL. I only know Rakuten online shopping, wow didn't know there's travel booking. So now I know, thanks to this video. One thing I agree w Ghib san tho. I am like him, I don't like cold winters/ weather. So I still prefer SG weather. If I want something cold, I can always take the next flight out. LoL.
I think it is hard to generalise Japanese vs Singaporean dates/husbands. But some characteristics from my experience, the 'Japanese man' is more considerate, less wasteful, reserved, never complains (at least not out loud), hard to read. The 'Singaporean man' is generous, outspoken (tend to speak their minds), gentlemanly, more outwardly affectionate.
Both have plus and minus points so it really depends on what you value more in a partner and your own character as well.
Japanese women vs Singaporean women as friends? Japanese women are more 'open minded', I mean we can go onsen together without feeling shy. But even with very close friends in Singapore, it is still awkward to suggest seeing each other naked.
I got to live in Tokyo for 2 years and it was a really unique experience due to the Pandemic period. I like Japan but Singapore is still my home so I feel really blessed in many ways.
Adeline is so real and adorable
Lovely video Ghib!
Big companies had a cafeteria fill with food n snacks n drinks is because they want you to work from dawn to dusk. For me small companies is the best
Having worked in both Sin and Japan, my Japanese husband still misses working in Singapore for the same reasons Jeremy and Adeline liked about Singapore 😂
So cool!
Hi Ghb,, hi Jeremy n Adeline,, はじめまして, when i moved from japan to Singapore, this taxi uncle said to me” singaporean went abroad,, n you coming to singapore”” 😂,, anyway i love singapore its like my home now, japan is like my home town too,, my brother in law is japanese Ghib, i will forward to him this vlog about Rakuten, he lived in australia , n was planning to go back to japan in march,
same reasons why we welcome some japanese into SG - it adds some variety and flavour to life - from a provincial town to an international city
so interesting to hear them say that Singapore is flexible! Coming from a Canadian / North American background, it feels like SG is already very strict and rule-abiding :)
Jeremy's ほうれんそう joke was so underrated LOOOL thanks for the video!!
It's all relative, Singapore really feels suuuuper laid back and flexible compared to Japan
Well I remember Singapore's PM once also said something like: "Work life balance? But meanwhile our immigrants from less developed countries aren't asking for that"
個人的には冬が無くて年中暑いシンガポールの方がまだええな。寒いの苦手やし🤣
Having such fancy cafe and snacks corner in a company (Lazada Razer Google vice versa) is there for the purposes of keeping the employee within the company to keep them filled from dawn to dusk or late into the night.
i disagree that japan is crazy expensive - 17.47. I just recently went on a trip. Ramen can be found which is cheaper than our bak chor mee here. Train rides for longer distances and yet less costly than our MRTs. Their car prices are also cheaper than Sg - A Alphard costs about SGD43k. Go figure the price of this after COE...
Have a few relatives and friends who used to work in Japan. All are back now. Think the salary and benefits are not as great nowadays.
Singapore salary/living costs is among the best in the world.. only country i can think of better is probably america
行列の時とかシンガポール人の方が我慢強いと感じてます。
It's always an experience to immerse oneself in another culture. It's up to the individual to blend in. Educational vlog on Japan. Some will say good to visit but not to stay.
Free food 🍲 😍
😂😂 1:32 when your host says the magic word FREE food in the cafeteria,
I could see the happiness in your eye 😂😂
-Working along side with Japanese takes a lot of convincing before they agrees anything with you.
-Working FOR Japanese takes a lot of effort to earn their respect and trust.( I’m sure u know that from your previous stint)
-Holiday in Japan is the best la!
Especially our sing dollars is so strong..unbelievable stretching the dollars.
Great content again and to see your 2 hosts from fellow Singapore-lan succeeded in Japan is no easy feat for them.
good deal
Rakuten pays very well minimum
¥400000 per month to even those without work experience. So they have a good life in Japan. After Jeremy leaves Japan will he get used to returning back home in Singapore? This is the video on top earning salary men and women in Japan .
Henro Walk Shikoku and Shodoshima, big yes
Japan Camping, big yes
Autumn, big yes
Winter, working, paperworks, etc. No, no, no.....
オムライスのあのRの書き方はロケット団のRに見えるw
それ思ったけどいいませんでした🤣🤣
wait what did he say at 5:25????
AHHAHAA yes bow until the lift door closes
Racism in japan is problematic. A third of foreigners living in japan have experienced derogatory remarks because of their background, and about 40% have suffered housing discrimination.
Japan racism is pre-school level compared to the US and down under.
A third? 40％? What kind of research are you refering to? How about other countries? Japan is worse or better?
To be fair, if I were Japanese I would also think my race/culture is superior over others. You cant take the racism out of human but I think Japanese dont really act on it. They still treat you with courtesy
Was the last part scripted 😂 nice hair cut btw Ghib! And ya sia, now I wanna look up working at Rakuten Travel 😂
It wasn’t scripted, they really do that😆
@@GhibOjisan japonised already 😂
In Singapore , kill by rentals
Can you please do a day in the life of a Japanese pinsaro worker? Thank you
Hello Ghib! Tried using the code on rakuten site but it doesn’t work 😢
Sorry! I’m checking on it🙏
It is fixed 🎉🎉🎉
Great! Thanks for letting us know😁
1st,, 😂
Don't you know that when you asked anybody what they think of Singapore,
the answer will always be as follows:
F - food
U - uber-rich
C - cleanliness
K - kiasu
S - safetiness
I used to be a vendor for several japanese companies here like Sumitomo, Shimano to name a few, I find Japanese companies have very high standards and very "process" style of working. I suggest anybody aspires to work in Japan to first try working for Japanese company here, if you like that "process style" then you will probably "be ok" with the working culture in Japan, I couldn't get used to it to be honest but everybody are different. Don't just look at the cute kawaii girls and think Japan is a great place to work.
Just remember another thing if you want to work for any number 1 company or best company or most admired company whether it's japanese korean us they all didn't get there by being average, they got there because the top guys are slave drivers and axe wielders who pushed everybody below really hard to get results to get good profit and that means long working hours so why you think some places they give "free meals" their fridges stocked to the gills with coca cola and m&m chocolate, they have ps4 billard table massage chair for free use? So you can bond in the office with your co-workers all the time and really have no excuse to leave office waste time commuting outside even for your meal breaks too but I digress.
Ya true. By having so many goodies in the company, you won't feel like going out for meals. You have no stomach for outside food, thus saving travelling time and breaks, thus more time in office and improving productivity. Employees will be more satisfied and motivated. And most importantly you can save money on lunches and tea breaks.
Not forgetting - frequent audits by top management either weekly or once every two to three weeks.
Manual Processes (Ton of paperworks in a digital world)
Perfection in every little small micro details
i love your videos! i thought about working in japan previously loving the food and onsens/sentous when i passed the N1 exam previously instead of back in singapore....
But now, i look back , the taxes are very nice(percentage wise) , the pension is a super gorgeous black hole with great pull like an indiana jones cave with an adventurous uncertain ending and the final trigger was the huge rollercoaster downspin of the currency markets where i tearfully bid sayonara to my dreams...🥲🥲
Let me tell you about currency markets. Pick a currency, check out it's performance in the past 50 years. You'll see it goes UP and goes DOWN. Check out the US stock market in the past 50 years. It goes UP.... and goes DOWN...and hopefully goes up again. Almost no currency or stock market stays at the same valuation....Just saying.
N1 is the bare minimum you need to survive and navigate Japanese culture/society/daily living. The BARE minimum. You are right that anyone without N1 can forget about even trying to work in Japan. And of course, people who don't mind all sorts of hefty taxes, including a 55% inheritance tax when you become a PR or naturalize to Japanese citizenship, can choose to work in Japan :)
You're right. Pension is like an Indiana Jones cave. 🤣 It's too bad... The living environment is awesome although the financial prospects are bleak, whereas Singapore is the opposite. Unfortunately when there are kids in the equation, finances become a big issue. Probably thinking of moving back to SG soon after living in Japan for more than 10 years.
@@kageyamareijikun If you try hard enough or have the skills they want, you can work in Japan even without N2 (like me). But the taxes are a turn off, and also the language which enforce distance between people.
