Report _MushiRock11_'s Profile

To be honest, I think most of these guys don’t feel anything at all, that’s precisely why they’re able to keep doing this kind of job without any remorse, treating people like they're managing an online simulation game.

Though I can’t say too much since I haven’t been there yet, American culture is basically everywhere especially when you live in Western Europe which is kind of a shame because it feels like we’re losing part of our own identity because of it.
And sadly, those islands can’t really gain independence either because it would likely just leave them even poorer and facing more problems than any actual benefits from being independent.

I’d also say it’s part of the experience I mean when you’re genuinely interested in different cultures and want to travel somewhere exotic or totally different from where you live you also want to immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. Imagine how boring the world would be if English were the only language, that’s also why it’s even more ridiculous when Americans (or other English speakers) refuse to make any effort to learn a second language and then complain when others don’t speak theirs.

Was Chicago a cool city to visit? I know there’s a lot of history there, but it also has a reputation for being extremely unsafe.
Do you have any store recommendations in the US? There are so many American brands that I’m a bit lost haha.

It honestly doesn’t surprise me when it comes to Taiwan that was the impression I had of the country. Its politics reflect that too especially how it’s more open to the West compared to China.
Too bad I only got to see Taipei’s airport LOL maybe in a few years, hopefully...

Well since it ended up being Seoul I think that’s the best outcome for you and your dad although I’d be a bit worried about the work pressure there. Still it shouldn’t be that different from Japan.
And yeah, except for North Korea obviously lol. I’d be curious to see how restricted the guided tours are there, at least the country isn’t totally closed to tourists it’s just filled with propaganda and you’ll never really get to see the “real” side of it.

Yeah unless you discover a new passion at some point that you can turn into something more. But that’s just how life works and the inconvenient part is having to make choices about how to live your life even though you’re still young and your personality and interests might change a lot over time. But yeah that's how it is :S

Hello! Just wanted to say its nice seeing someone also appreciates RELIFE (manga). Also I came from the comment on "The Beginning After the End" you made and give the webtoon a chance. Also nice selection on your favorites!

Thank you! :)

Indian foods beside chicken tikka masala. I'm not a huge fan of curry, but I would love to taste what Indian curry taste like.

What is your favorite foods that you haven't tried but want to?

Exactly, that's also why I don't really understand how most politicians don't have a mental breakdown after years of activism with absolutely nothing changing on their side and realizing that most of what they fought for either doesn't improve the situation or makes things worse. This is basically how it is for most political parties here.

I would say the US also tries to do things this way, but they do it in a way that doesn't work and ends up making things worse for everyone compared to Asian countries. In Europe, though, it's very individualistic, and that's why I'm kinda neutral about it.

Yes, Hawaii would also be a good comparison. It’s like if Hawaii were partially destroyed and groceries cost five times more than on the mainland USA, but nobody would even talk about it on TV.

I wouldn't blame them since just doing the usual konbini clerk job would be too much for me mentally in the long term lol, let alone speaking a different language. It's just that our European culture makes us think most people would easily learn English no matter where they're from. What was funny to me is that there are a lot of things written in English on Japanese streets (for foreigners, of course), but they make an effort to write them in a way that people who don't speak Japanese are not totally lost, even though most people there don't speak English. Meanwhile, here in France, you'll never find anything written in English except to make it "cool" on some shops, but otherwise, we don't care. Either you speak French, or you're lost lol. That's also why tourists get mad at French people when they come here most of us can speak English, but we just won't.

Yup, now I’m just planning to visit popular destinations I haven’t seen yet and that are still considered must-sees, no matter how touristy they are. That’s why I’m going to New York, Los Angeles, etc., in a few months I’ve never been to the USA before. By the way, how would you compare Taiwan to Japan? Taiwan seems culturally closer to Japan than to China in terms of how the country operates, but compared to Hong Kong, what were the biggest differences?

In Tokyo, at some point, it felt like there was at least one on every street lol. But to be honest, there are still a LOT of convenience stores here in the city center I’d say sometimes it’s comparable to the amount in Japan. The difference, though, is that none of them are open 24/7 because it’s illegal, and on Sundays, they close at 12 PM, so you have to go early. For a second, I thought K-Circle was the same as K-Market in Finland because it’s their biggest convenience store chain and the logos look similar I wonder if they tried to copy it lol. No idea why Carrefour works so well in South America but not in Asia, but it is what it is. I’d say Carrefour is basically the Walmart of Europe. I always thought HiperDino was one of Spain’s biggest brands, but it turns out it’s mainly based in the Canary Islands. I went there a few years ago, and now I’m surprised to learn they have such huge hypermarkets only on those islands.

Sadly, yes. I didn’t try taking public transportation, but to be honest, it looked pretty bad in Marrakech.
Haha, that would be awesome. Well, Morocco is similar but not in how it operates. Morocco is very open to tourism and foreigners, while Algeria is the exact opposite you need to get a complicated visa to visit, which is very hard to obtain unless you have Algerian nationality and live abroad. Tunisia has become more extremist in recent years with xenophobic policies. Apparently, it wasn’t too pleasant for my parents to visit 20 years ago either just like their experience in Egypt as tourists. They said it was way more intense than in Morocco when it comes to people trying to scam you and pressure you into buying things… And as for Libya, well, there’s no point in mentioning it with how bad the situation is. So, I’d say Morocco is by far the best country to settle in, unless your father can get a work visa for Algeria.

Both sound awesome as long as you put the work in, I guess. But a Japanese language school would be amazing for the experience ahah.

woah 12 years is a lot
ive only been watching for 10 ish years myself

Normally my tastes dont match my generation so i rarely get to talk about things i wanna talk about lol hope you dont mind me trying to be a little more talkative

but did u see they announced railgun s4?
hope they announce more sangatsu too, its been 7+ years since last season but i think shaft doesnt have the same financial stability right now.

looking at your favorites, u also like rurouni kenshin!
did u read the final arc in the manga too or are you an anime only? i also havent heard anyone read the new hokkaido arc either lol.

actually ur profile was very interesting, your favorites have a lot of stuff i like mixed in, how long have u been watching anime?

hello :3

I love Tokyo especially because most of my friend lived there, but I definitely prefer Kyoto.

I have never been to those areas before. What will you be doing there?

oh wow. Which part?

Heya 🤠
I am on Instagram too
I am put reels too.check out theinitialride354

where are you moving to?

You're welcome!

Yeah don't worry I totally understand that I'm kinda like that too I just don't want to be involved in any conflicts especially when it comes to politics because no matter which side you take you'll always be wrong for some people, and anyway it won't change anything on our scale, I'm pessimistic (probably too much) as well :(

I don't know how conservative people in Japan can be though, but I know that they're just much more liberal and conservative on average than in Europe for example, especially when it comes to immigration etc, but yeah I doubt they would change anything regarding the pressure you can have at school or at work to always be the best and have extremely high results etc.

Tbh they don't even speak about it anymore, it's always like that, we only speak about overseas territory when there's a tragedy and then it's like it never happened even though they didn't recover at all from it.

Yes since they're selling so many of these I can imagine that they get a very good margin in the end.

Ahah yes, and some of the workers are just too tired/depressed by doing the same thing over and over I mean some of these wouldn't make any efforts anymore when I was there since they didn't seem to understand very basic English (like the small numbers) but it's probably only because it was tiring enough to not try to bother taking care of people who couldn't speak their language.

I totally agree but it's impossible to lie to yourself sometimes, I mean I would love to be positive and all but it would just be playing a role... I will try to take more risk in my life too, maybe moving to somewhere else as well but I don't know yet.

Are the convenience stores in HK the same? I was surprised to learn that 7/11 isn't only a Japanese thing and that they have it in the USA as well, for example here the biggest supermarket brand is "Carrefour" (It used to be in HK too, in some older movies you can even see them going/working at Carrefour) and I learned that it was also a big thing in Argentina or Brazil which is surprising, when I went to Morroco last month they also had it.

That's why I almost never use the taxi, it's just way too expensive, well in Morroco it was either be lucky and everything is fine or just be straight scammed, that's why you have to be cautious when it comes to taxis there (and also other shops too). Otherwise the country is amazing to visit as a tourist, I enjoyed the warm weather in January which never happened to me before and culturally speaking it's extremely different from what I was used to seeing, I mean it felt more exotic compared to France than Japan compared to France xD

Oh I see, well as far as it doesn't cause you any issues it's fine since it's not a life goal anyway, you'll see how it turns out but hopefully everything will be fine :)
