@MinistryofOtaku 30 years later and people are still doing Jelly Donuts but this time with culture. For me the appeal of anime was always that it was a different culture, of senpais, kouhais, onichans, onechans, moe, meido, gyaru, tsundere etc... concepts that mostly don't exist outside of Japan.
@OliverJia1014@AndyKavna It gets worse when it's really expensive stuff like Shine Muscat and they're like I'm bored of eating it please take this gigantic amount it will spoil. I do get it grandma had 2 wallnut trees and a sweet cherry and I considered Wallnuts basically worthless and was sick of them..
@OliverJia1014@AndyKavna There a big rural/urban divide people still treat it like it's "Western/Europe prices". If you know someone outside of Urban Areas they basically gift you thousands of yen like it's nothing. I don't know how to react. Here 2 kilos of kiwi and just take the 3 kg kaki they fell off
@CaskieYT@bunburyoudoujp I feel like while the US has suburbs, chruches, HoAs, community centers. Nobody really interacts all that much because everyones kind of stuck in the suburbs and drives a lot. So there very little daily interaction that builds a "community" like the walk able areas in JP or EU
@jake_j_jung Oh yeah thats probably a whole other story, there is a real lack of proper bike parking. And even new the prices are sometimes crazy low. But for me stealing a bike is, I don't know like a very big thing, feels like stealing a car. Would personally never do it.
@jake_j_jung True but I still get upset since I even put some sticker on it, but you're probably right one guy takes one, the other goes まあ、しょうがない,これにするわ and it just continues until theres no umbrellas left.
@jake_j_jung Another example I can think of is Japanese front doors. Some times they have up to 2~3 locks. I even saw a friends front door(last icture) that had 2 locks and a hidden 3rd one in the handle you pop the plastic off. usually doesn't bother to lock it at all unless going on a trip.
@jake_j_jung I think Americans can't graps the fact that a society can be both law abiding and have laws. World isn't a fantasy place. Bikes, Bike seats, Bike accessories, Umbrellas get stolen in Japan all the time. Yet exactly thats why they have bike garages with staff to make it hard.
@bunburyoudoujp Villages around my Part of Croatia. You take one basket of strawberries leave 2~3€ whatever the price is. No staff.
Japan Sunza Station, Hime Kaido road, Hamamatsu.
You put 300 yen in you take a Mikan Bag. The mikan bags are literally next to a good 100+ trees full of em.
@spoileDeeva@KaramaSeal@pca10112009 The entire late 70s/80s/90s it was a Status Symbol in most of Europe to get Tanned in summer because that meant you could afford a vacation to the Sea. It was so trendy people went and got them at solarium. At the same time the Gyaru trend started in Japan. By 10s it died out.
@spoileDeeva@KaramaSeal@pca10112009 This will come as a shock to you but Japanese girls will dress like western girls and have a tan because they work outside or spend summer doing outside stuff. Exactly like White people. Nagatoro isn't a "gyaru" for example.
