      Angon4xD I am living in Germany and I also find the potatoes different. They are more starchy and smooth and when they get old they don’t go “bad”, they get softer. I wouldn’t describe them as bouncy though, maybe she meant soft and smooth?

      True but at least it’s being disposed of correctly. Western countries may have less plastic but the way it’s disposed of is absolutely atrocious.
      I understand there is still an impact and issue with the overuse of plastic but there’s definitely less direct impact from plastic in the environment. I’m talking about animals dying because they ingest/get caught in rubbish or the accumulated poison in biological systems due to smaller species consuming plastic and such...
      But yes. It is still bad.

      @@amber5764 The Uk is completely irrelevant. Every western country even the US is irrelevant in that regard. Nearly all the garbage floating around come's from second and third world countrie's. India, China, other asian countries, countries in South America and certain islamic nation's. They dump their garbage directly into the water, mainly the river's but also the sea. There are literal garbage island's in city size in the middle of the sea where everything is floating around.
      Even if the western world would stop plastic completely tomorrow it would do nothing, especially Europe where everything get's recycled already since decades. In countrie's like Germany for example nearly all plastic get's already recovered.
      The funny thing is that here in the west this propaganda the strongest whereas the "mainvillian's" couldn't care less and just go on and in fact you can't do anything about it. All you are achieving is putting yourself at a disadvantage.

      David Sguerri those “trash” people are fighting for a better way of life.

People aren’t getting their pensions that were promised, the elderly are working themselves to death, the politicians are corrupt and people are sick of it and want whats right. I’ve never been to Patagonia but the desert, the Atacama, I’m talking about tocopilla and camping indígena and the rest of the way between antofa and tocopilla ain’t much to see but the ocean to one side and a dry desert the other 😂

    I've noticed a flux of Japanese people traveling to Oregon actually like that girl in the video! I'm from the capital city Salem. There is the international japanese university in downtown😊 You can tell the university trys to make them feel like at home by planting lots of bamboo trees around the place, and the dorms look sort of like the one apartments in Japan. So true though us Oregonians are hard workers but we take our time. lol traffic is way slower than like in Cali or new yorks bussling cities ! It drives me nuts sometimes.

      I think it's the same difference of rural areas moving slower, in every country in the world. Even as a state, Oregon is less populated, and I think that gives it a more relaxed attitude than big city areas where everyone moves so much faster and punctuality is a much higher priority.

    I'm not really surprised when foreigners know more about some aspects of a culture they don't live in. I see something similar with people who move to a new town versus people who lived there their whole life, the new people often know about more about the town and its venues (history, culture, theatres, attractions, museums, etc) than people who always lived there. I think this is because when you're immersed in something, whether its a town, culture or society, a lot of it just gets taken for granted, unless you have some interest in subjects that include those areas, there's no reason to know it.

    Most Japanese that go the US just end up visiting LA and Las Vegas. They don’t really understand what the US is as a whole which is just not big cities and deserts. After la head north and it’s rain country and grassland, East is farm country until Chicago, just East is the Great Lakes with Lake Superior being like a mini ocean, south you’ll find desert and farms, head to the Rockies or the other mountains, the southern us is a lot of swamps and red clay depending on which state you are in, and head north you’ll find fall leaf lookers, Boston the cradle of the American revolution, New York City, and just time to enjoy. It’s just what you see can change on where you are and your own understanding of it.

      It's a huge country with a lot of variety, but because it's so big, it's a lot to ask tourists to try to see so much of it. A trip like that would take months, it would be quite expensive (since we have very little mass transit in most of the country) and other than the landscape, there's often not too much to see. Lots of empty, wide open spaces. Similarly, we have many different cultures across the country, where almost every state has unique behavior standards, taboos and etiquette, so depending on which country they come from, different tourists will probably have different states they think are more polite or more rude.

I'm not too sure what trains are like in other states, but I'm guessing the person who went to Australia went to somewhere else besides Victoria

    In new york, people who ask sing or ask for money on the train can be persistent. There was once a man who yelled loudly asking for any spare change, when no one offered any, he yelled at us for not giving anything. There are also music bands that will travel from cart to cart playing music and asking for money. Some musicians even carry a cello with them.

    We have train barriers in the city trains, and they are gradually replacing train stations in outer metro areas, but it means shutting down areas, Most ppl know not to step over the yellow "lego like strip which means you are too close to the border" what trains did you buy tickets on the trains? You can only buy them online or at a station, perhaps unless you were in the outback?

Apparently in the northern part of the country things are bit better, but as you go south from Florence, I've heard stories of "rare specimen" busses who pass once or twice per day in Rome lol. Oh and forget about getting home (by train or bus or even car since everything gets blocked) if it decides to snow in winter. I lived in Germany for a period and it was paradise, a lot like you're describing Japan, I loved using public transportation there. Also because of the level of cleanliness.

    I am from the UK, my fathers wife (my stepmother) is from Serbia. My father visited Serbia to meet her family and friends. He went to get a haircut whilst he was there, he didn't speak to the barber (as he didn't speak Serbian) so his wife asked for the length he wanted. The barber refused to charge him... why? Because he had asked for the same cut as a gangster, they thought he was a gangster and that's why they didn't talk to him. Within the same trip he went to a football (soccer) match, the big rivalry, Red Star v Partizan Belgrade. My father grew up around English football hooligans in the 70's, he saw football violence on a regular basis in his youth, but nothing shocked him so much as the regimented battles between Red Star and Partizan as the two sets of fans were left to hospitalise eachother. The most shocking thing he experienced however was when he visited a relative of his wife, they told him a story of how their neighbour shot someone who entered the village. Why did they shoot them? Because they were Albanian, not because they had trespassed or committed a crime or anything, just because they were Albanian. That is what should shock people about foreigners, not whether or not they sing on an effing train.

    It’s actually quite standard for taxis to keep a finger on the horn in China as traffic is a nightmare as the traffic lights don’t mean anything and pedestrians don’t care about the rules. Actually it’s about the same in Chicago and New York City as traffic is a giant mess and you’ll hear taxis honking all day and night. It’s really not that bad as you sorta get used to the noise and you kinda start to understand the language of honking from f*** you to hot date to meh.

    I'm a rural American and I've only been late for one appointment in my life--and I remember it and why. I've traveled most of the US and 5 continents of the world and I have to say successful Americans on average are very punctual compared to what is required in most foreign cultures. However, there are segments of the American population who tend to be late as a lifestyle.
    In elementary school we had rules like you get a tardy if you're 1 second late sitting in your chair and three tardies in a year and you start receiving punishment. In high school there were compounding penalties for each tardy. In college the penalty for lateness varied by professor, with very roughly 25% of professors marking you tardy and not caring, 25% marking you tardy with some sort of possible grade penalty or automatic fail threshold, 25% marking you absent which may or may not have a penalty, and 25% chewing you out for interrupting class and sending you away.
    If you're late in the American workplace it totally depends on the culture of the company you work at and your status there. Most businesses do not promote low to mid-level employees with a tendency to be late. On the other hand, Government employees tend to have the option to be late arriving (and leave work early) with regard to all appointments and meetings and almost never suffer a consequence.
