Working in Japan & Finding a Part-Time Job | Tips & Experience

Kings hello everybody greetings yes that that girl peeking on the other side there is Hana how you doing everybody [Music] we're gonna be talking about the auto bite though or part-time jobs in Japan kind of exploring what you need to know if you do want to work here in Japan a lot of us pretty straightforward but there are some some things that you need to know and Hana here has some experience and so do I I've been working and living in Japan for 21 years I've never done a bite doll Auto bite doe comes from the word our bites our bite which is German and I'm not sure how this came here to Japan yeah but it's a word that's known here for part-time jobs and a lot of people are looking for this it's one of the biggest questions that I get from viewers so we're gonna discuss this we also did this last year a little bit now you Hana yeah enough about my talking how about you you worked in a byte doll last year yes I did tell us about that yeah last summer I worked at a convenience store actually for about four months and at first when I applied I guess I brought my you know resume they were very cool they were hesitant to hire me because it's such a short period of time four months is apparently short for a part-time job but it's crazy how desperate a lot of places are right now for workers there there are a lot of the aging Society not not enough young people working and so they're very excited to bring me in and yeah it was honestly life-changing it taught me so many lessons just about the time management was one of you have so many tasks when you you might not think this when you go to a convenience store but the workers do so many things you know behind the scenes and it's not just the cashier it's putting products in the shelves and making sure that the products the food life hasn't the cold food like yeah the expiration date is not not you know past you know cooking the frying the chicken in the back there's so many tasks and so it's really about organization and it's about collaborating with your other partners usually about two minimum two people working on the shift at the same time Wow and so it's about dividing the work as well so the other staff the other stuff yeah a little bit of background on Hana she's she was twenty last year yeah so you're still a university student yeah and you were just here for the summer yes then you had to go back to Montreal to University so that's that's the basis of her part-time experience she only had a fixed amount of time but right now there's a like a crunch for the employment because there's just not enough young people to work in the jobs especially with the Olympics coming is gonna be even a higher demand for bite though people working part-time to fill in the need especially in Tokyo for international visitors Ryan can talk to ya that was one thing a strong point that I had in my hiring process but that I could speak English and they asked you that I did they did they were like do you speak English and that the plus because there are a lot of tourists that come to the area I live in which is Kamakura which is an ancient city in Japan very old Buddha statues there are a lot of tourists there and so they have an issue with communicating with them although gestures you can but there's a limit to gestures gestures can do so they're very happy to have an additional English speaker and the in the group so that's definitely a plus so okay I can see this being a benefit speaking English but let me let me ask you let me follow up on this tube because a lot of the people watching of course you speak English this show is made in English how did in practical purposes while you're on the job how often did your ability to speak English really was needed right I would say I would say once a day really once a day yeah and my shifts were like three to five hours long and in that time span at least one you know English speaker would come in and yeah they would ask for there was one guy who came in asking if I could wash the the fruit that he was buying it's prepackaged yeah he wanted to eat it you know as he was walking I guess and so you want me to wash that and they have questions about like what kind of drinks there are at the convenience store the ones that you make in the back like by the coffee section yeah um so they're asking what is this one what is this one was the difference between these so there are yeah at least once a day I would say okay yeah and I think that would probably most likely increase as you know the other piece that closer I would think did you teach English tears so they caught your co-workers said because they probably were Japanese right yeah they were all joking I would try and they would be very open to learning yeah um they really really really want to learn but they're afraid of making mistakes I think this is a common trait among Japanese people but they're always afraid of making mistakes and you know troubling the other person and so there's a constant struggle of them not speaking not trying to speak but I would teach them a couple words here and there and they also know that it's a necessary thing that that's yeah that they should okay I just want to talk a little bit about it behind me is the kueh Hawaiian purge gate we're a better play nice place to sit down and Tokyo in the shin motor building and the modernity side of Tokyo Station it's a nice place I want to give you some background now on what you need to get a job in Japan in general all right I think I got about a dozen questions a day from people and I just don't even respond anymore because it's I kid you could Google this stuff too let me break it down for you if you're living abroad and you want to work here in Japan you need a visa you can't just come here and magically get a job if you're on a tourist visa it doesn't work like that it may work in Thailand like that you can skirt around the log after Nova failed the English school back in like 2008 or something the police have been very cheeky with visas and passports and things like this you don't and employers are hesitant to hire you if you do not have the visa you have to have the proper documentation that all starts in your country of origin you need to get what's called a co e form your certificate of eligibility you take that form from the employer to the Japanese Embassy and they will issue you the work visa and it takes a little bit of take some time to do that so that has to come from an employer in Japan you have to set this up now it does pay to come to Japan and search for the job but realize that you're going to have to leave the country in order to get that work visa you just can't get that in Japan not that I'm aware of I'm the second thing is that if you don't want a bite down you want to get a well-paid job or a job in your industry you're gonna have to earn Japanese because there's right now thousands of people that are married to Japanese that have the work permits already that can't speak any Japanese looking for the same type of job they have the work permit it's easier to hire them than you so you need to have a skill that they want you also have to have the ability to sell your skill to them why should they hire you this is about any job anywhere it doesn't even matter if you want to work in Japan if you do not have the skill to sell yourself then why should any company hire you just because you have a degree that's not how it works anymore it's very competitive especially in Japan so you need to speak Japanese a minimum of at least Japanese language proficiency test level 3 I never took the test I don't work for a Japanese company I'm fine I have had work credentials for 21 years and once you get it this is very important it's very easy to extend it we say visa renewal it's none of these are renewal it's an extension it's very easy to extend it all you have to do is prove that you have the correct amount of income that you make enough income and you can have you have proof of that income but getting the first initial work visa is very hard extending in the same industry is is actually a lot easier right so you need to have Japanese language abilities you need a Certificate of Eligibility a c OE form and you need to be hired by somebody initially or you can be a business investor that's the fourth and the fourth visa requires cash and as we say money talks in Japan but it's a significant amount of investment and I think you had to hire two workers which could be you know old ladies or it could be young students or whatever it was but you need to have an office and hire people and then it was hard to maintain that visa all right so it was easier to get a job through a company and and can extend that than it was to get a business investors visa because it's hard to extend that the problem and this is the last thing to say about this before we move back to Hana the problem with that and no maybe yeah I put that wrong the most important thing that you should realize is that industry that you come in through your visa that's what you're gonna be extending through the period of it if you come in on a on a humanities visa which is what an English teacher comes in a specialist and international services all right you have to extend that when you change industries this becomes a problem so if you want to become an engineer after you are an English teacher you're changing your industry maybe that's not the best example let me think a scientist or a talent or something to change your industry is very hard but you can extend pretty easily within that industry so these are some of the things that I've learned from my 21 years of living in Japan that might might help you but yeah getting a job is in Japan as the same as getting a job anywhere it's up to you to market yourself to find a job and Hana is pretty good at marketing herself because you speak I know I'm serious because you you understand Japanese culture because you grew up here you understand you could speak English you grew up in a buy-in yeah bilingual multicultural household so you know about Japan and and the West so that's a really valuable thing we have a lot of people that are we you call them half the yeah right I'm happy to just not Japanese happy but there's value in that easy for habbo to get jobs because they have a value to Japan my value to Japan is that that I can I've lived here for 20 years now and can bridge Japanese culture to the west using my talent in editing and telling stories and something I've built up for 20 years that's actually my value to Japan and how I can continue to live here and my wife is Japanese so I always have that I got family but if you want to get a job here you need to have something that Japan needs the skills that they need right now do you know that is one but not just anybody right right right cuz now Japanese younger people can speak English it's improving a lot more people are studying abroad it's getting better and they're learning English younger so right the skills that they need are nursing so if you get a nursing degree and experience and you can speak a little bit of Japanese you're probably gonna get hired so easily in the profession here cuz we've got more old people in Japan than anywhere else in the world and very few because the population is decreasing yeah doctors engineers they're looking for that out of tech people so you see a lot of people from India and South Asia coming here because of collaborations between the two governments a lot of people on the subways now in Tokyo you can see from India that are here for tech jobs second and they've learned Japan before they came to Japan in in programs so they have like a basic level of Japanese it gets better as they get here so you can't just I don't know you can't just do what I did which is get an English teacher degree and just stay an English teacher's job and to stay here permanently it's it's it's if the system's getting harder and harder it's getting harder and harder um soup now that you didn't fight to last year and you came back this summer yeah and now you're helping me yes because I get support through patreon thank you so much for your patreon supporters I can grow the only in Japan brand and actually your your wages are coming from a tree which is really really important but I mean what what do you look for now in a bite dome the convenience store experience you shared that you learned so much from that teamwork a convenience store job Japan is a lot more than what you think it is you're doing multiple tasks like a waiter you're learning steps you're learning responsibility at a young age on another level and getting paid poorly for it what is the salary that convenience store workers get and what what is like what do you see as the next fight dough after convenience store jobs what are some other jobs and interested you that you could have done interesting um the wage for convenience or workers is about 980 yen an hour which is around $10 and I'm 9 or $10 $10 an hour and it's higher in the early mornings and it's higher at the midnight workers who go from all the way from 10 p.m. to like 7 a.m. in the morning they get paid a little bit higher what was your other question so you last year you worked as a convenience store go what are the budget jobs you had you considered right I considered working at a restaurant or a food serving job position because convenience store is a lot of things but it doesn't consist of making food or making actual drinks or you know moving around the restaurant and serving customers and so I thought that would be a new different experience I was definitely considering that but the hours weren't what I wanted and so I didn't I didn't apply for the job at the end but that's definitely another experience in terms of time management and skills to to have to create a certain drink and remember the recipe of a certain food by the time between the time we especially at a cafe between the time the customer pays for the food and then is on the other side of the counter we run it to come out so yeah I think that would be the next level of difficulty as well yeah different difficulty not to say that one is more difficult than the other but just a different level and cafe in like restaurant staff don't get tips right so you would make less or well on your base would be a lot more right I think I made like three I think I made like three dollars an hour when I was three dollars and 25 cents an hour when I worked in Ohio in Columbus Ohio for waitstaff that was really low but with tips oh my word I was making like it depends on how long the customer would sit there and how good my service was oh my god I made anywhere between like a hundred one hundred fifty dollars a night to a lunch shift I could just make fifty dollars for five or six hours you didn't really the lunch if you had to do it every now and then but it balanced out me so the restaurants got to make the cover the cover the shifts but dinners we're always like if you had four or five tables and you knew your steps and could give this service to four or five tables and you could hold a French tray yeah you could make a lot you can make a lot of money and especially if the turnover was hired the faster you get the food to them the faster the services the more the higher your turnover the more you make in tips so there is an incentive in that business for tips in Japan people if they sit there doesn't matter how long you sit there it's a little bit more relaxed I think but you make less ultimately say all right I want to shift this now to where do you find out about albeit though to shift back to the burgers cuz everyone working here is a bite though right let me just I can I could shift this over to you for a second here everybody who's working in there is a part-time job worker they're serving their restaurants and everything so they're making what you you made Hana yeah about ten bucks an hour and dude wait did you get free goods like I know at McDonald's I think you got free food or a reduced rate food did you get any like free convenience store food I only got that like once or twice once or twice we don't put it you know like try to snake it you know I put it I don't even want to expire here Tony Gd anyway maybe your baked items they just you have to throw it away right how did you find out about this convenience store job where do you go to learn about jobs and I'm gonna tell you if you're after Hana replies I'm gonna tell you about where you find out about like English jobs as well so let's start with you cuz you had a Japanese base job yeah so the convenience that I worked at I didn't necessarily see any sign there's usually a sign like hiring now Oh Bush they must sort of like phrase you know Bush they hosted over steam us boosted in front of the store to let people know that they're hiring but I didn't necessarily see that in my convenience store so I just went in I really just went in and asked are you hiring now and they were like oh yeah yeah sure and so and so I wrote my name down and I wrote my phone number and they said they'll contact me back on the interview dates and so I just waited and they gave me a call and so I went in and honestly that was it so it's not necessarily that if they're they're hot to be a sign in order for them to be higher as they are they just don't have a sign apart so yeah I would encourage you to just try and talk to her yeah she just just walk in and ask that's what what I did that when I was looking for Fito after University I after I finished my university I came to Japan I traveled around the world and blew all the money I made waiting the tables because I think you know you sure that you should do that right I've made $3,000 a little bit over three thousand dollars that summer and I blew it all back packing and then I came back to the US and I said okay now it's time to look for a job and that's when I applied for some part-time jobs I think Barnes and Noble and some other places like this just something yeah and then I said my friend said you got to come to Japan and my first job was teaching English in Japan after college and that's I never really left I just evolved from that it's really cool Stephen Robson thank you so much if you I'm gonna take some questions at the end if you just super chat me something I will do take the questions right away but thank you I so I get some follow-up questions before I answer on English speaking jobs what where what other resources so you just walked in but what are the what are the other options that people have to look for by Tilford in Japan oh yeah there are multiple online websites that you can look at I know I I can't think of a top of my head but I can think of one which is by Toru that's one um right there Adachi yeah that the cold dot-com yeah I think so um yeah they have commercials going on all the time of catchy songs but anyways yeah there you can just like type in the location of where you want to work type in vital and like a bunch will come out so that's also an option it's you don't know exactly the store you want to work but you have an idea of cafe or something like that and you know the location you can just type that in and like bunch will come out yeah yeah cool yeah there's a lot of online resources that we didn't have 20 years ago like seriously when I first came to Japan I ever talking with the other English teachers in the school there are usually 20-something women and they were working at the English school as vital and I asked them like how they found out about this job it was the old methods newspaper free papers that they magazines and stuff and recruiting recruiting conventions right and this that's still quite big in Japan will you go to a recruiting convention in your black suit and your professional attire and you would go and look for the job and get the paperwork and you know I often done wondered after university Japanese students will often jump right into a career right a low paying job like twenty thirty thousand dollars at a company where they're taken care of which used to be for the rest of their lives which is not the case anymore so I they would find that out at these job conventions or at their university so you would be Sony would recruit you Sony would go to the best universities to be companies go to the best universities so the best students would be recruited into these companies and be competitive on that level so bite dough is always always something that you did before you graduated right yeah yeah so that's how it was right so good so the people working at the English schools were usually vital or that's what they wanted to do with their careers before they got married or their ambition their life goal was to get married and have a family they already knew that so they didn't have a career minded path but I got into this well alright should I give you the story I'll give you the story first I'm going to say thank you to Simon Osborn and again it's nice to see you again Simon the and click the like button if you want us to keep on going because we might take you if you want to see some more Hatta and I are right outside of Tokyo Station and I would like to take you over to the you see that right on the other side there outside the window that's Tokyo Station so we'd like to take you around here we can get the 250 likes we will continue this livestream a little bit longer and then talk about jobs at the Emperor's house because like Louvre right over there right so we're gonna walk over the Emperor's house and knock on his door and ask for a part-time job if we get the 250 likes or maybe we could I don't know hmm we'll take we'll take you in that direction how about that if we can get there turn 50 or 300 likes I keep on changing the number I got into English teaching because a friend of my my college roommate was he majored in Japanese at Ohio State University he was he was kind of a freak we thought we wanted we thought he was cuz he in his room he had a futon he slept on the floor we all had beds and he had this futon we thought it was a dog pad alright but it was it was pretty cool cuz he made space but in his free time he also what he also read like Japanese version of penthouse Japanese version of Playboy like dirty Japanese magazines like he had that he had like some sort of Asian thing I don't know what was wrong with him I don't know I don't know but he was weird like that so he ended up going to Japan of course and the jet program as a teacher she bought and after it finished backpacking he recruited me and said you gotta try chat man they're hiring and you should totally do it so he helped me out with the application a little bit and what they were looking for and then sent me a recommendation and then I applied in Washington DC and I got an interview it's very hard to get the interview and Washington DC is the most competitive because the international place then and the interview I was so intimidated I was ill it was like what 20 to 23 I was so intimidated that the Japanese interview was a team they put a chair in the middle of the room and have a table in front of you and for old guys just ask questions and totally try to throw you off it's a test it's not has nothing to do about the interview so I think they gave me questions like why do you want to go to Japan and I was trying to be funny and one thing led to another like I think I said the correct temperature for Saki is 104 points 3 degrees Fahrenheit or something from a James Bond movie I don't know you only look twice I was quoting things from James Bond that was my experience and I ended up not getting the job so then my backup was to go to an acai wha and I interviewed with them and they said we can send you to Japan in five weeks which is really fast we'll give you the CEO a certificate of eligibility to go to Japan and you'll be there in five weeks if you teach children and I said I came here to teach adults all right I'm pretty much like a kid anyways so I went there and it ended up being one of the most unique experiences of my life and taught me a different side of Japan than it and I'm glad for it because the people who taught adults didn't stick around but if you talk kids you got into more about the everyday life of Japan how the family works I love that so by the time I ended my career as an English teacher and I did that for like six years yeah I I was based I started in Okazaki in H Ken which is near Nagoya suburb of Nagoya that's where a Tokugawa Ieyasu was born this show the Shogun glass yoga and then after that experience for fourteen months I worked there had a longer contract more than a year I got a bonus like a like a $1,000 bonus it wasn't a lot it was a lot back then yeah as well as a lot of the money I save and at the end of it I was gonna backpack and blow that money too but then I did such a good job the head office said hey John why don't you go to hit Ashima for three months we'll give you another bonus pay all of your accommodation you can just save the money and do what you did in Okazaki in Hiroshima so I went there and I lived in the hitter Shima in 1999 for three months and then at the end of it they look they said I did a great job I turn the school around so I took the bonus money and I blew it in six months backpacking around the world I went around the world baby yeah and I didn't go back home to the US for two years I remember going back home and saying how much smaller my my childhood house seemed because I hadn't been back for two years and how much had grown as a person I came back a man I don't know this came just from an English teaching job and then the company said you know anytime you want to come back John just call us and we'll get you a job and you can come back and I still had my visa was valid so I said I'd love to come back and do this job again so I worked for them for another two three years every three months I would travel to a new city and live as an English teacher turning around in English school I didn't I made friends in every city that's why I think this only in Japan job has been pretty a little bit easier for me because I know the cities organically from having lived there all the way from down in Hiroshima up to Fukushima all of this country in some places of outside there but that belt between Fukushima Tohoku and hitter Shima and Chu Goku which is the region down there I know very well so that's helped me with this job in 2005 I 2004 I quit the English teaching thing because I got as far as I could go as a foreigner I was a top foreigner and in the company so I started my own business making videos in 2005 and I've been making inbound videos for Japan actually since 2003 when I hitchhiked the country so I've been on you I've been in an unusable for you too I can't say that but that's my background here so I know a lot about moving a lot about living in Japan what the things that you need to do to make a life here but finding a job in a career here all depends on you now now there's so many back twenty years ago there weren't that many people interested in coming to Japan Japan's reputation started to explode after 2008 and 12 I'd say a big push to bring in foreign tourists and the culture has really gone out everywhere now everybody with a lot of people would like to live and work here and the best way to do it is I think to come to Japan first of all and see if you like it number two all right this is where okay I'm gonna bring Hina back up here hi all right and you I need you to interrupt me because I sometimes will just keep I will keep on talking no but I'm in this in this part in 30 minutes in I want to make it more free okay I'm gonna give you some tips here in a different way on things that evaluate if you are right so I want to work in Japan all right good now you have to kind of validate that I think all right working in Japan is not the paradise I'm gonna pop some bubbles okay the culture of working in Japan is not the same as in the West no all right it's different and we're gonna I'm gonna break this down in this in the next 5-10 minutes see we can get the 250 likes as well see so if you want us this flash dream to continue past 35 minutes it's up to you you have a chip you have a say click that like button working in Japan is not easy it's not easy it's different it's so different the job that you think that you work the way that when I watch the TV show the office it makes me laugh so much because that that would never work in Japan the office setting in Japan is so different yeah the culture is never about you the you to me is you take it out it's about the team first of all it's about self-sacrifice and the team that's what people one reason why people work so hard they don't really think about themselves and their time that they're thinking about their company and the team once you become a part of that team your goal is to win that's why in Japanese baseball the homerun is pretty cool but a base hit and a run is more respected than a homerun which is about the self that's why you don't see big hitters and why Ichiro is a god in Japan is because he was the ultimate team player right he always thought about the team first you have to have that mindset and that's not easy for me being in the West and I I knew about this team thing but I didn't really understand it until my second year working in Japan because my sense of what justice is about my personal rights and things like this that's not I I was like beating down a little bit by that I mean can you can you tell us hon about your experience I mean it's the job of working in Japan is different than in the US and in Canada and other places yeah what you think is what you know the kindness and hospitality and home Otonashi and you being a guest is different when you become a resident and work here a guest as a tourist and working here are different don't get that wrong hon I explained okay wait there's one example that came to mind when you mentioned the difference about the team and the individual and there was one example that when I was working in the convenience store last summer it it really is about the team and we all have a self responsibility as part of this convenience store to make the customer feel oh if they have a good time at this at the commune a store and so if obviously a customer buys a lot of products we are happy because as part of the the convenience store we are making a profit and so we are happy as workers but this past winter I believe when I was in Canada finishing my last semester in university I went to a supermarket and I was buying a whole bunch of products of food you know for my upcoming week and I put all of the food on the little conveyer belt that there is in the supermarket and and the lady who's working there looked at all my food that I was buying and she like rolled her eyes and she was like ah you're buying so much like disappointed in the amount that I was buying because as an individual she felt like it was troubling her to have to like as a cashier to put in all the products that I was buying but so there's that the difference is that I was this that was in Canada in Canada yeah in the supermarket in Canada she was thinking of herself and the work she had to do the work to do for herself whereas here like we would never even think that because as the company as a whole we are having a profit and so we always think about the team and the profit that comes in I don't know if that made a lot of sense but that it does make sense and I want yeah this this still is something that I'm wrapping my head around but I I'm I'm I think you have to accept this yeah that if you're working in Japan you're not working for yourself anymore yeah if you're working for a company now I I'm a youtuber I work for myself basically I work for YouTube maybe I don't know but I have more say because I'm a small business owner if you are working for a company you have to understand that you are not really you anymore when you are at the office you have a pin you'll see injured in Tokyo people wore pins this is the suit of armor they're working for they're they're your brand which is their clan which is part of the history of Japan going back millennium and you have to kind of you have to kind of champion that more than yourself yeah and then more than even some of the laws that they make in Japan there was a situation and we just got here James Martin Wrightson how many hours per week is considered a full-time job Hana what would you say I don't know I guess it's closer to my experience is it would be about the same as anything over 40 would be a full-time job but if you're talking about overtime that's not really exist too much in Japan overtime is just a necessity it's something that is part of your job people are paid and usually in salary right if you're salaried worker a salary man you don't have a wage so you're not considered you wouldn't see any overtime but in a part-time worker is there a certain amount of hours they have to work not really it just depends on how much you put in like the there's a sheet that you fill out and how much you're available during the week and so I was only able to work three to five hours a day but other to work like maybe at least five or eight you know a day but that's still considered a part-time job so right yeah this is really good so if you were to work 40 hours a week at a convenience store do you get benefits like health insurance no so no matter how many hours you work that your convenience store you didn't get social insurance paid for by the company I think as long as you're a worker you're not a part of the you're not like the shuttle of the you know it's like a manager with it yeah as a full-time employee right exactly and a clerk is no matter how many hours you work right you're considered a clerk or like this usually a contract worker sort of like otaku Sahana doesn't get I think actually you might get insurance through working with my company I'm not sure what I've had to learn the system - because Hana is my first employee but I think if you become a full-time employee or a salaried worker then you are you get benefits you get your name Keane which is your Social Security right nankeen is your what do you call it and your retirement fund as well as social insurance like health insurance all paid for by the company and then when you go to the doctor you have to pay just like ten percent of it or something it's a pretty good system and even though if and even the prices are pretty controlled so you don't have to pay a lot but part-time workers do not get that no matter how many hours they work so therefore you could work a hundred hours you still only get the wage and I don't even think you get overtime right I don't know I think there might be laws but some of them are not enforced and if somebody pushes it and this is the last thing I want to talk about on this I see so what was the most amount of hours you worked in a week in a week yeah twenty twenty hours yeah and your health insurance you have to pay yourself yeah which is probably like each Aman Nissan yeah yeah like like health insurance if you don't have a high wage it's probably like a hundred and twenty dollars a month which is pretty cheap actually right and then if you start looking more money I think I pay maybe 400 or 500 dollars a month now so it depends on how much money you make and then it's capped so even the super-rich don't have to pay too much for their health insurance if the system works fairly well here but yeah that's interesting so part-time workers no matter how many hours you work you're still considered part-time according to our experience yeah but so dragon dragon Derk fire writes in 120 LS sign me up but that means that you're basically in poverty right you're working a minimum-wage job for a certain amount of time the lowest I ever paid was one year I made very very little money like ten thousand dollars the entire year I was taking a loss right I paid I think 5,000 yen for my health insurance a month so Japan based on your wage how much you make will make concessions on how much you pay into it so it's not the same for everybody and I got the same coverage as someone paying more which is interesting all right the last thing I wanted to talk about I don't want to continue actually let's get let's continue on this cultural thing yeah there was a situation and it's still ongoing and it breaks my heart to hear it we're a Western man working for a bank you can google this I'm not gonna name him specifically just because the name is not on the tip of my tongue Tokyo Sam T Kyo Sam did a livestream on this it didn't get a lot of views which is a shame but he had it he had his take on it and I'm gonna give you kind of my take on it because it's it's relevant he was a a westerner working in a bank and he made a heck of a lot of money for them all right anyone in his paternity leave and by law by law he has the right to take that fraternity Gleave all right by law it's a law but no one ever takes that maternity leave because the company takes precedence over laws the individual and your desires are nothing compared to your clan alright and this is where it gets into some hairy things the reason why nobody takes the paternity or even the maternity leave which is shocking women will just quit the company and they'll bring in a new fresh face it's just the culture it's not there's no right or wrong and this is the this is the hardest thing this is where like the American side of me says that social justice my rights and things like this and then there's the site that I've been here for 20 years saying yeah you if you work for this company you are the company you have to follow the company's rules over the rules of the country almost it doesn't make it right or wrong it makes it wrong but you have to understand in Japan you are very much at the will of the company and bullying is part of it right I've seen and you've seen this in spirited away you remember the you Baba she was not a nice person to work for but that's her company you have your in spirited away Chiquito was at the whim of you Baba right I mean I hope I'm getting this right yeah even a ghibli you can see the company it rules over the rules of what's right and what's wrong all right America we worry about our personal rights we can we and we should in Japan don't get me wrong but that's not the reality here you have to be a team player you have to take him for the team stinks right and that's why CEOs make a lot less money too because they they still make a lot of money but in Japan you just have to think differently he didn't get his paternity leave but he took it anyways because he knew he was protected by law he came and his bosses at the bank kept on rejecting his appeal for paternity leave even though he was guaranteed by law so he took it anyway and then when he got back he was bullied and bullied and bullied and eventually he lost his job because they bullied him and took and even though he made a lot of money for the company it's such an office story it's so bad that the company is so powerful that they they kid have influence over the court right so like they took away all of his witnesses and all the people that talked about his personal his who he is as a person his character witnesses they could take that away from him worse he would be the only one testifying for himself that's how powerful the company is so I you know I think before you get into a Japanese company you understand you're gonna get bullied you don't understand the language they're part it depends on each instance so pick your company wisely is that what I want to say pick your institution wisely if it's a conservative old Japanese company you're probably gonna have to adhere to their laws more so than what do you think is right and it does sound scary right but the thing is if you do give yourself to the company they will take care of you but once you start to buckle the rules and change the culture more so the country's laws for employment are ahead of that of many of the companies but once you bump but buckle the company's culture then you have a problem because you're changing something that people don't want to change and I think that you have to just think about that I think what he's doing is very brave this man who's taken taken his big mat massive multi huge corporation to court and there and the attention that they get will probably determine public opinion because no Japanese has the guts to do what he's doing so I got it it's just a ton of respect for this guy for doing what he's doing changing the culture but will he ultimately win probably not because I remember watching Braveheart and watching those dudes go out those people got man they got axed real fast that's the one where the blood hit the camera those are those dudes so he's taking one for another a bigger issue and that that's a whole nother issue and I I guess he had two hundred three hundred thousands views on his Facebook appeal so I don't I don't know you and in the chats and in the comments below can leave information to that but I'm in between I can understand both sides I don't know what do you what do you have to say about that because you've worked on both systems because I I've never worked in a big Japanese organization so I can only speak from like my convenient story issue story or what I hear from my friends but it is true that my friends who do work in big Japanese corporations have had to work overtime without getting paid multiple occasions and it's it's just scary how the system within the company is so strong that as John has said it can you know be more powerful than law which kind of controversial this is what a lot of Japanese want to work in Western companies yeah a lot of Japanese would like to work for you know like Apple or Google because they're treated better and for themselves as individuals than in Japanese companies right and now I hear a lot of Westerners coming and saying how do I work in Japan say I don't know maybe you should ask the Western companies to work at their branch in Tokyo because some of my friends at Google not related to YouTube they came in by what requesting to work in Japan from their head offices in Google so I don't know yeah do you really my question is all right you want to work in Japan but do you really want to work for a Japanese company and if you do you really need to understand what it takes and what you're giving up to work in them this is the site that nobody explains to you you as a guest and I'm just gonna reiterate this for those who are joining us you as a guest in Japan as a tourist see how beautiful and save Japanese culture is but the work culture is different I myself would not want to be a part of a Japanese corporation I'm just telling you honestly that I'm ruined man I'm a entrepreneur I'm a businessman I would like someone who want to work for myself and find opportunities helping Japanese corporations bridge and do the things that they can't do because their rules are so strict and me as a small business I can break those rules because I understand them I can connect them to something bigger but to work in their big corporation I don't think I have that mentality because my value to Japan is being able to bridge my skills to other cultures another she's right now I can't do that if I adhere to the rules that are internal in Japanese companies including NHK and how many Westerners I worked with at NHK that said I'm gonna change NHK culture I said yeah you know what it doesn't start with one individual and good luck with that because that's they have their way the NHK way there's the toyota way there's the tokyo-mitsubishi ufj bank way there's you know the jr way every company has their own way that's even stronger than the culture because you're giving your life to the company this is almost a given if you work for japanese company and if you do want to get a job with a japanese company i would if i were you and your interview give that even though maybe it's not your heart but give that impression that you are ready to give everything to the company including your time and your rights and then they in turn will take care of you and that respect of being a guest changes when your boss starts to dictate the way you should live your life because that will happen and I just I just popped some bubbles you know like right now I think Micaela another youtuber also had a video on the Japanese entertainment business and why she doesn't appear on TV that was they went viral and she spoke from the heart and for personal experience and Michaela has somebody who has worked with in the Japan culture when I was at the English school I worked at the headquarters of the school so I had a desk at that office although I was hard I was almost never there because I was always away when I was in that office which is very rarely you can see it's a Japanese office to Japanese corporation they have their rules and you're respected by how hard you work and opportunities come to you by how hard you work and how much they beat you and how much you stand up strong and say I'm still here and the companies will beat you beat you beat you and you're still here and those are the people that get promoted and get more chances it has a it has that that's how the system works and the old guys that are the bosses they'll treat you the way that their bosses treated them the generation before and that's what things move kind of slow in Japan because one company that I worked for he took me out in an expense account and I said in this day and age when Japan Japan's economy is not doing well why would he just waste money once on like hostess clubs and entertainment and he said he earned it because he worked really hard he worked his butt off and when he was a low worker now he's gotten to become the director of the company he's got the funds to go out and spend it so he went out and he used his power the way he wanted to when he got to the top and that meant that everyone below him worked pretty hard to the way he did when he was a generation ago even though the system changed so the system is probably 30 years behind in Japanese companies but it's evolving just not it's not what you think it is yeah no no no you guys rock scissors paper gun are you a comment of like the culture the workplace culture is that it's mind-blowing for me this summer I went to visit my brother in DC and I got to meet his co-workers and his boss as well and at one point we were all having a little get-together at my brother's place and he just casually mentioned that the person sitting next to him is his boss and they were just it was mind-blowing to me because they were talking so casually and the boss had been invited to his house so casually and here there's such a like a hierarchy there's such a hierarchy and so the boss is the boss and there's a certain way you kind of have to engage with him and the the way you speak in Japanese also sort of changes yeah called the Kegel which is the polite language polite way of speaking which you have to talk to you know elder people with with respect and so it it's such a different workplace you know etiquette that you know in the u.s. it might be that you can be very casual with your co-workers in your boss but here it's it's very divided and you can see the levels you know you're the bottom and then there's a way you speak with top person yeah and they speak differently with the top person so that's also something to keep in mind it's done you don't call your boss by his first name I remember good after there's a break where I went back to the US in 2003 and I was working in a company my boss it was like yeah just call me Jack and like wow that's so informal Jack do you understand like in Japan this would be not never be you show a lot of respect and this is the art this is why Japanese workers also are the most competent in the world I I don't I think American workers are pretty good too don't get me wrong I think workers are every every worker is different right but in Japan in general people work pretty darn hard and are competent within the skills that they know right I say that gif does anything that requires independent thinking or risk yeah then they won't do the job because they need to get confirmation from the people above them because risk is not something it's all about alleviating risk so things take a lot longer in Japan when working with Japanese you'll find that it doesn't and that this all has to do with bite dough because you have to understand where your bosses are coming from if you ever want to get anything higher risk is something everybody wants to avoid because reputation is more important than money in Japan and probably in anywhere you right your reputation is more important than the money cuz because money comes from your reputation that's how work comes from so in Japan people want to alleviate risk which is also why Japanese companies are losing to Korean companies in technology yada yada yada but in the workplace Japanese workers are very confident they do their job to the letter of the the mark they are on the fall and they work hard and work overtime and they're so conscientious and perfectionists on doing it and the way that they're taught they adhere to that to the rules on the flipside if if they have to break the rules or do something and like think outside of the box which means taking risks then that changeup will make them take a double take point case in point point in case is a case in point a case in point yeah it's not lawyer say kissa point sir overruled yeah if you ever talk to a convenience store clerk at the supermarket that's a supermarket clerk and try to make conversation with them right like pinky this name or just like try to make conversation while they while they're working I would do that in the US they make light conversation boy your child is so cute or something it like if you do that with the convenient at the clerk at the supermarket that they're thrown off of their recycling they did not train us yeah error alert malfunction malfunction code 6 code 6 yeah customer trying to make conversation how do i how do I talk without with avoiding any risk and not making him upset not in manual just agree polite nod Lee say hi hi hi and get him out of the way I don't want to upset him so it's a small talk in Japan can be risk salesmen are good at it but everyday clerks don't try to make small talk and expect something because I remember oh I remember 20 years ago there was a cute girl out of mr. Donuts and my friends like oh you you should talk to her yeah there's like really I don't know what to say yeah so I can't just write down your number and say okay I'll give you call sometime so like I so went up to her while she's working there and I knew like no Japanese so I said what I said and I gave him my number and I said I wanna you know let's and she took that like completely wrong because she was working she was reference she wasn't herself yeah and it didn't work out the way I thought it would work out well we learn from that experience and I ate a lot of doughnuts that day okay but I remember that did not go the way I wanted just as she did her job right and she sticks stuck to it or that was very excuse to say no it's not it's not exactly clear to me what if they're you know managers watching them that's another point yeah because I have a friend who works at Auto bite though in the cafe hey and I went to go see her but she can't really like I was laughing on this shining it on a lot she a lot of guys say that doesn't happen in Japan like hey lady let's to go out I don't I'm still wondered how I met my wife how did she say yes but and you she works there and you know it's my good friend so I'm kind of laughing and like smiling at her and licking but she can't really look this way or laugh because her boss is there her manager is there and so it's very this like different post persona that you kind of have to put on at the workplace can't really be informed more because it's the workplace and it's a very common yeah these are all things I think that you really have to consider because you might have an advantage being Western and knowing English but that doesn't mean that you're guaranteed a job you also have to have the cultural sensitivity and the person who gets a job will someone someone who knows how to how this system in Japan works your job working here should be how do you fit into the system that they have not the system that you want to be a part of how can you be a part of their system how will you integrate how will you be an asset to their system and how will you not make their job harder how will you take risks away from hiring a Western or a foreigner you of course are not born here you don't know how this system works so what will how do you make them feel comfortable with hiring you this is the mine mindset that I have when I work with clients or I tried to get a job as a youtuber looking for permission to film somewhere I have to convince them it doesn't matter that we have a million subscribers in the main channel it's how do I convince big corporations to work with me and I'm not be a I'm gonna be an asset by making this video with them I have to convince Honda when I first did the channel it took me three months to work to get permission from Honda to work with ASIMO even though I said look I'm gonna bring in people through your Welcome Center to CIC Mo's performance this is a win-win it still took three months to alleviate the risk and C be an asset to them in their eyes and I was pretty positive through the entire process and in the end I didn't get paid by Honda at all but I did get access and I got to kick a soccer ball with Honda and that was with ASIMO and that was just too cool that was worth three months of pain of meetings you don't you have no idea how hard it is to get permission in Japan to film it's getting easier because influencers is a word now but when I came when I started the channel to get permission to film was so hard I I worked so hard on this channel people gonna understand alright thank you so much we get to 100 and 175 likes let's try and push this up to 400 likes Hana Hana and I are gonna take you outside a little bit where we're gonna end this livestream and show you a little bit of of the Emperor's house because one day that's right so one day we'd like to meet the Emperor yeah and um but we're gonna have to learn a new form of Japanese I know do you know that can you speak that that form of Japanese Kegel okay yes all right I want how would you tell the boss I want I saw like I want to call he call Hyuna guys from last call he comes to the guys how would you say that in K go yeah Thank You Massa - oka like that's like coffee coulda sigh you know yeah like that's really really sweet got some things let's let me can get that the 400 likes I'm gonna treat Hana as well do you want a burger or something else hon I lunch it on me yeah yeah we get some wonderful super chats here and much appreciated I don't know do you want a burger you want something else I don't know if you want to eat healthy another burger which one oh yeah that's right you're vegan and she's been vegetarian okay I will go to a vegetarian burger place I should eat more vegan too and there's also a Thai restaurant here yeah so they might have vegan stuff our vegetarian stuff so how do I eat eggs right yeah this is healthy Dairy Dairy - this is a place that I think everybody should come to if you come to Tokyo Station - look around outside these doors you're gonna see a wonderful view of the old exterior of Tokyo Station I've been here before and met many livestreams but I think if you want to get an overview of the city this is pretty cool place you don't have to go too high and I always get freaked out when I step on this I would I don't know step on glass I'm always I think it's gonna breath it's such a beautiful overview of Tokyo and to me the modern og station right here is as much of an icon of the city of Tokyo as tokyo tower would be took this came before Tokyo Tower this is built I believe 1912 yeah and you can see the Shinkansen just coming in right there do you see coming in a Tokyo station you'll get these really awesome views of the trains coming in from the left and the right that's the International post office where I send my patreon packages if you want to join the post card club you get a postmark that says Tokyo on it I send it from the main post office here with the coolest stamp I can find so that's where all your postcards are sent right right inside there it's nice pretty nice weather today but you can see the old architecture from the early 20th century combined with the background of Tokyo's 21st century as a technology insert hyper futuristic music with a lot of thinking namely it was a futuristic electronic sounds the train leaving oh yeah and the Olympic taxis they actually have those at the Olympic store you can buy like matchbox car models of these cars these taxi cabs and Toyotas they're made by Toyota and they started making them about two years ago and now they're so spacious inside they don't take as much luggage in the trunk actually yeah it seems like a lot less but inside the taxis you can fit a lot more which is good and for people with long legs still like that a lot more - I can admire this map for hours and hours and hours but but I'm getting hungry - is there any anything that you want to leave people also I'm gonna give everyone about five minutes of Q&A here if you do have questions do you want to ask let us know because right now we can answer something maybe you've been watching interested about working in Japan you have something specific let us know right now and you can just speak freely I'm looking at the question okay I don't know hello what are you gonna do in September what job do you want what job do I want yeah what's your career path you know I'm gonna say I don't know and and you know I don't know my career path but I want to I have a broad idea is that I want to eventually get into like the movie industry and work on movies that move people sorry and you know I'm personally very interested in social justice topics like you know feminism LGBTQ topics and so I honestly I eventually my dream is to come back to Japan after a few years of you know developing skills in overseas is to come back to Japan and try to raise more awareness on those topics because it's something that is it greatly represented especially in media and you know the world is changing and I think more open-minded people are coming into Japan and I not to say that Japanese people are not open-minded but I think there could be more progress made in that area and that's some good stuff yeah I think younger people are very you know exactly what you want to do that's impressive for me like what what kind of a print I just I championed one thing happiness if it if it goes if I can file it under happiness then that's what I champion that's why systemís space-boat makes me happy Shinkansen makes me happy I keep Ben makes me happy yeah Kenai makes me happy how that makes me happy I'll champion thank you thank you I like the post office I shan't be in the post office things they make me happy post office people are pretty nice here yeah yeah there's there's another thing right there that makes me happy yeah our moderators make me happy good job food food makes me happy yea the taxi prices here don't make me happy they're kind of expensive they did a lower it but they go less from places now I'm just now discussing things in front of me I usually will approach things in front of me topics that are that are too big then I I try not to end controversial in the media we try not to get wrapped up in it because if you piss off 5% of your audience that's a pretty big percentage so it's hard to become an activist I think our social justice and things like this and I think everybody should have justice but I don't focus too much on that in here just even yesterday when Heisenberg Heisenberg what's his name from did you ever watch that Breaking Bad yeah Walter White yeah yeah doesn't look like Walter White go back to our live stream yesterday and check it out he looks like Walter White yeah Heisenberg he talked about like the political issues of food in the United States and I'm like oh boy that's gonna that's gonna rub people the right way and rub people the wrong way so I try to avoid divisive issues and try to try to try to take things that bring people together and then from that I think you can you can if you can't bring people together then I think you're never gonna go forward on any issue Yeah right that's just how I feel so if you're very abrasive like right now with Korea is with this boycott of Japan stuff it's like so abrasive if you can't bring people together I don't think anyone will ever take you seriously or champion your causes it's just the wrong way to about doing things about anything so they do say ignorance is bliss some memories in the comments now before this has nothing to do so this has to do with Han his job a living wage in Tokyo would be Goju my in five hundred thousand yen a month that's a good question I don't think so a living wage should be about the average wage is like I think for people under the age of thirty it's like twenty five thousand two hundred fifty thousand yen a month which is about two thousand three hundred dollars that's about right right yep an initial postgraduate wage is probably between unbelievably a hundred and eighty thousand and two hundred and fifty thousand yen a month I would say two hundred fifty thousand being on the generous side depending on what your majored in but a normal salary man job we're probably about nijam on a month plus all of the benefits plus you'd probably get a small bonus at summer and winter time which kind of balances out although that the wages are low the salaries seem low there are bonuses where you get a big percentage of your income through them in the summer and then in the winter and the reason for the bonuses is taxes tax it's a tax thing so the bonuses are adjusted so that the company's kind of avoid paying even more taxes by giving the bonus is based on the profits of the company at that time so you get bigger bonuses the companies do well and smaller bonuses if the companies don't do well or no bonus at all but it has to do with the paying less taxes I believe I think it has LS taxes are big a big thing in Japan now that it you know I have to do them myself for the last ten years more than that my gosh but it's also has to do with team teamwork so if the team does well you do well if the team doesn't do well you don't do well so fight for the team which is probably why in Canada the person at the register rolls your eyes when you you have too much stuff and in Japan they're kind of encouraging you to buy more because in the end this will come back to them and the bonuses just a totally different philosophy on the way things work do 500,000 yen is I think if you're if you're like 40 years old and an older that that's a proof that's a decent wage a living a living wage would be about two hundred thousand yen and your rent would be maybe sixty to seventy-five thousand yen a month which is a 1k which is a one-room apartment and you'd be able to save money off of that yeah so you'd still be able to save money for that and then in your 30s I would say three hundred and fifty thousand and then in your 40s it's very age based in Japan so yeah in your 40s five hundred thousand and then maybe in your 50s you want to be making me at least Roku Jomon six hundred thousand yen a month or so 50,000 yen because you want to save and you're gonna have to pay more for name keen and health insurance and things like this and your family I don't think you can support a family on under 500,000 yen a month but if you're by yourself 180 to 250 thousand is living yeah I hope that that's helpful anything else here I make less than $15,000 a year you can live off of that but you just can't save a lot of money if you're thinking about a bite doe as your career choice in Japan and your cut and you're not a Japanese citizen I would say think twice because the biggest thing about living in Japan and is do you have money to support yourself alright no country is gonna bring in somebody that's gonna be a burden on their on their social systems right and Japan already has too much of a burden as we look at a tourist bus let's even get the 400 likes everybody so if you're watching this if you like like this content click that like button yeah no one's gonna hire you if you're gonna be a liability for their social services so you have to prove that you have to you have enough money one of the things that I did when I was renewing my visa was also show my bank statement that I had like 20 30 40 thousand dollars in the bank so I'd be able to support myself if I lost my job as a freelancer I was able to extend my visa for a couple of years as a freelancer so no company sponsored me so does I didn't have a company backing me but I could extend my visa based on that based on the income this is there's things that you can do I no longer know longer need that so these are really good questions that you have everybody if I lose my job as a responsible youtuber yet youtubing is not a is not something that you can say as a job international services you can get married to somebody japanese or you can get permanent residence called age you can and then you never can't take it away from but that also changes your tax burden and you have to pay into nineteen system and you have to pay more if you do become an age again it changes the death tax to for you if a family member in another country dies then you have to pay taxes in Japan on that so there's other things that you have to consider with it with that credit cards are not accepted they're much correct that's not true Cooper the credit cards are accepted in almost everywhere with the Olympics has even increased that 7-eleven ATMs take foreign credit cards so 7-eleven as well as the bank sorry the the post office takes foreign credit cards for cash so you can always get cash out now in Japan in in 1998 I couldn't I was I couldn't get advance on my credit card as I was broke for the first month I was eating samples that had the supermarket's just survived that's pretty bad I've had to fight my story is long and hard alright so I'm very yeah so I'm very I'm very happy with what we have so every I highly recommend this view for this I we're gonna go to your vegetarian burger place let's see if we can get 35 more likes before we end this livestream and I'm gonna take you outside of the streets and show you maybe where the emperor lives his house is nice but you just can't really see it this is the model building on the modern ooh she saw at the fifth floor I'm sorry I totally forgot that even though a little bit of Hawaiian in you yeah and I say that because your mom likes Hawaii so that that gives you a loja spirit she lived in Hawaii you're raised in Hawaii yes so she's got that Aloha spirit in her eye Ruth if you want to if you want to know who her mom she's been in a live stream three three times I think he had the inner Shima spa looked for the Mount Fuji onsen from two years ago and then just last week in Kochi she was dancing for us yeah she was dancing you can see Honda's mom dancing she really she was boogying - I can see that Aloha spirit that explains a lot she's still a cheerleader now once a cheerleader always a cheerleader yeah Mahalo Nui all right so we got that yeah we got that Aloha spirit and I like that that's one of the reasons Japan Hawaii is so popular with Japanese that spirit that Aloha spirit I like it too I like it a laugh just like this escalator going down to the central business district and I would I would consider modernity to be part of the Tokyo central business district because a lot of people work here my accountant is here in modern og2 it's a building down the street from here I used to do my taxes myself but it got it started getting really complicated as the tax laws change I just couldn't do it myself not have to pay an accountant or else I would have the zero time another thing that I'm thankful for patreon for yeah this year there's a little exhibition for the Rugby World Cup that's the biggest rugby ball in the world this used to be in yanaka chair they moved it here and this Shin inch in motor building I sit that's a that's a freaking rugby ball yeah it totally is check it out right there whoa this is new yeah how do I go sit there how small are you oh my word he's big he's holding a rugby so this is a temporary exhibition is he made of chocolate don't lick him don't lick him all right I've seen him before on TV who is this who is this yeah almost two meters tall first time like a hundred and like seven six feet and double digits maybe this guy's built man he could play rugby give him the ball and no one could tackle him just keep going dude that's not fair I think rugby should have like yeah like a size limit maybe but this is for the Rugby World Cup this is like the biggest rugby ball in the world can you touch it I'm gonna touch it I'm touching it for the livestream this is all for all of you just describe the feeling oh this isn't rugby ball yeah it's made out of plastic but I think there is a real rugby ball somewhere that just made it really big that starts next month by the way Rugby World Cup very cool it's so hot in the summer this area is treed this forested yeah it's a good time to give attention to the forest fires in the Amazon they are happening the media is not covering it give it some mention you know about the forest fires in Amazon yeah this like apparently the biggest forest fire in history of the world what's going on it's a little bit of a tension there it's a rugby ball khana that's your size she's your size but that's a he I thought that was a woman oh uh yeah I know him yeah he's pretty cool he's big see speaks good English - I thought he was a woman just cuz of the body I don't know he could work out a little bit maybe I don't know well I don't he'd be hard to tackle and if you tackle him he's all bones laser really cool best best darn ice skater in the world where's your bet your vegetarian place where's the vegetarian place yeah their burgers I don't know oh yeah alright I guess I know some places to go for lunch oh I got some places you got you covered they got you covered big showers at David kumara - thanks so much that's gonna that's that's more than a sake brother that is hot as lunch as lunch money has been covered but David Hume it off yeah I'm seeing in the chat some people given some shout outs on the livestream chat so what's going on in the Amazon it's not really pertinent to what I do for only to Pam but somebody's got to start mentioning it a little bit little by little because the Brazilian government and the government's they are not mentioning it at all they might be even happy because I could turn that into grazing for more cattle I guess I don't know so this way it takes you towards the Imperial Palace and I'm gonna be doing another live stream here in the next couple of months there's something I want to show you it's a place that I like to go it's right in front of you but I'm not gonna elaborate it's another live stream I give like little Easter eggs I guess little Easter eggs and this yeah it's more like 2:30 in Japan right now we don't have we don't have daylight savings time in Japan daylight savings time is just it's just weird it's too confusing for me to spring ahead fall back it's just dumb like it saves time come on people supposed to save electricity in the 19th century yeah there's a show called beep with the Seinfeld lady Louise Rufus Dreyfus and she there they had some thing where he's trying to rid daylight saving signs but I think it was like a joke but I'm all for that but we're 14 hours ahead of New York in the winter and then 13 hours in the summer so I believe for 13 hours ahead this is where the Emperor lives and this is this is the gate and this is where the moat also starts here and last year no two years ago Wow time flies some British tourists jumped in there cuz he was too hot and he said he'd lost his wallet and the police arrested him it didn't end well well for him he made all the TV networks too so if you want to get on TV just don't do it though just don't do it and then I don't think it was worth it either the this hotel is all new this is all stuff just in the last year and a half this whole area has changed quite a bit but the Emperor's house is straight that way I'm deciding whether or not we should go there because it's just gotten so hot yeah this is route 1 as well this is a route that takes you to kyoto and osaka if you go straight on it route 1 which is ichigo-san route 1 is the old Tokaido which if you see those postcards bye who did this the woodblock
