  • out it was pitch black.

  • A squeaky noise was, say, lumber and Japanese foods.

  • Everything has a character.

  • Hey, guys and gals, it's cat the cat.

  • I'm this time going to talk about five things that surprised me the first time I came to Japan.

  • So let's join me for my Japan surprises on shocks.

  • I've no be living in Japan for six years, but the first day I came what really surprised me is in summer we have those long sunsets in Europe, you know, when it stretches to nine.

  • However, in Japan I went in to restore, bought myself a small light to no one out.

  • It was pitch black and allegedly said, What just happened?

  • Like for a moment, I thought, you know, the world just ended.

  • It was pitch black and I was like, What happened to the sun?

  • It was like a dropped out of the sky.

  • The sunset was so quick and it did not expect that in a really sharp man.

  • I just stood there like, Where did son go?

  • Do you now?

  • The first time, my friend, he told me it took me shopping.

  • I heard a squeaky noise and heard it here and then heard it move over there and it was good.

  • Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.

  • And it was like one of those squeaky squeaky ducks, and I just kept walking like he could hear the noise going around.

  • I was like, Where is that noise coming from?

  • Until I realized it was a small, small kid like kindergarten age on the kids.

  • Shoes were making the squeaky squeaky squeaky noise, you know, like a dog toy.

  • And I was asking my friend why?

  • And she said, If there is a lot of crowds and you know it gets crowd E around Tokyo, then you always hear where the kid is.

  • So in case the kid runs off, at least you can hear where this I think it's still a better alternative to the kid leashes, but I sometimes see, you know, when people put their kids in like a dog leash and walk around with that.

  • May is a different alternative, but I must say the squeaky noise was very loud and it confused me.

  • But recently I haven't seen that as much anymore, but it still exists.

  • So in case you have a mysterious squeaking eyes that seems to be moving all around You look down and it might be kit, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.

  • Come closer then.

  • Not if not, then don't move.

  • Hello?

  • Oh, are we filming?

  • Okay, I guess we're filming now.

  • Um, no.

  • For about what we want to say.

  • Yes.

  • And in the name of the moon, I shall punish you on that note.

  • One of the big, big animals like influenced my life.

  • You guys know what from my instagram with Sailor Moon.

  • So on that note, when I came to Japan for the first time and there was a girl on the train who was wearing a sailor uniform, which is a normal school uniform in Japan, I was surprised.

  • Like I know that school in your firm's existed in Japan and that they were a real thing.

  • But first time seeing a riel sailor uniform, I mean, the one that they sailor girls, where before they transform into a super like their supervision.

  • Sailor moon and such is very was very surprising.

  • Like I just stood there was like, Is that costly?

  • No, it's not.

  • She's the real deal.

  • Wow.

  • And that girl was just like Why is that for no loses without books?

  • Likewise, that foreigner staying at me like that And I was like, staggered like Koch Israel.

  • And she's like, What's wrong with her?

  • So yeah, that really surprised me because I thought in my head of heads, I thought that sailor uniforms, they would look a little bit different in a way off, you know, maybe a little bit plainer.

  • I thought that in animated would like be more qualifer and some animals do that.

  • They have, like, uniforms that actually don't exist.

  • But sailing any firms, their real deal.

  • So if you come to joke you, you'll see girls in real sailor uniforms.

  • It is a beautiful world, a beautiful world, and I'm so glad this is the thing.

  • Japanese food surprised me because before I came to Japan, I kind of thought I've tried everything.

  • I felt like a tried at all.

  • But it turns out I didn't.

  • There were so many more flavors.

  • If what also surprised me is Japanese people?

  • Ah, huge foodies.

  • There will be like food programs in the evening around dinner time where just famous people will eat certain foods on.

  • There's just so much so much, so much around food, culture and DuPont and get still Japanese.

  • Be villers, always guinea.

  • It's incredible, I mean, lots of hard work as we figure it out in past videos.

  • But I was just surprised how much food culture lose and my people are still so skinny.

  • I mean, if you go to she area, you won't see anyone older than 50 on anyone like who's not Skinny on average is always a surprise.

  • Yeah, big food culture there still saw skinny why Japanese people love cats, but they also love loads and loads of different characters, which means everything has a character.

  • So instead of just a logo for a company, a company will generally or often also have a character associated with it.

  • Which means that the Japanese post office that even the police and Japan have a mascot that's attached to them, and even the prefecture in which you're in will have a mascot, and then even certain parts of Tokyo will again half their original mask on.

  • So if you look around, you'll see close lords of loads, cute characters that actually represent a company and prefecture.

  • Whatever damage people of mascots, they really dio I I must say I find that kind of cute.

  • If you look in front off police stations here in Japan, you something.

  • See a little mascot with a helmet like this?

  • And then, you know, that's the mascot of the police and it makes everything a lot cuter.

  • I love it.
