嘿伙计们！

今天我和草莓麻糬频道的凯莉一起来！

我们将讨论我们在日本犯下的错误。

是的。

有很多。

是的。

也很尴尬，所以...

那么 Rachel，你为什么不开始呢？

好吧

我想这是最大的错误之一 -

我什至不知道你是否会称其为错误，

只是有点像一件非常尴尬的事情。

日本的厕所真的很先进，

而且所有的厕所都完全不同。

所以我在日本见过大约十种不同的冲厕所方法。

有时它们并不完全直观。

这么多按钮！

有一种特殊类型的马桶我不知道如何冲水。

我查看了所有按钮。没有把手。

我在一个大商场的浴室里，我很尴尬，我就像“我不想离开摊位！！”

但我当时想“好吧，好吧，我需要出去”

然后我跑出浴室，找到了 Jun，告诉他

“JUN 去男孩的浴室，告诉我冲水器在哪里，我不知道冲水器在哪里”

然后我不得不等他走进男孩浴室的隔间然后出来

然后他说“哦，就是这个按钮。”

我当时想“好吧！！！”

我不得不跑回去，希望没有人在我后面走进我的摊位

，因为他们会说“啊，那个外国女孩没有冲厕所！”

但它是什么，它是上面有墙板的那些之一。

哦，是的。

面板顶部有平齐的按钮。

好的，是的，我以前见过这些。

他们用小さい或大きい来表示小同花或大同花。

除非您知道“齐平”的汉字，否则您无法知道

即使这样，它也只是面板顶部的一个平面按钮。

即使在易于看到的面板外部也没有。

因为他们没有足够的空间放置按钮，所以他们不得不将齐平放在顶部。

我很困惑。我很尴尬。

好吧，我也有一个厕所故事。

那是在我实习期间

，我们在巴士旅行中停下来。

我们走进了浴室。这个浴室真的很酷，因为它向您显示

什么是开放的，什么是不开放的。

是啊！我很清楚你说的是哪间浴室。

我喜欢那个。 这些真的很酷。

然后我找不到像你一样的冲水按钮。

所以我只是随机按下一个按钮，因为我想离开摊位

，所以我按下了一个按钮，紧急警报响起。

这个闹钟真的很大。

我只是很随意地走了出去。

我看着我的朋友，就像“我不知道发生了什么”。

“太疯狂了。是不是着火了？”

然后我在公交车上告诉了我的朋友发生了什么事。

“那是我。这是闹钟按钮。”

我不知道他们用它做什么。

我猜想是当你跌倒、滑倒或者年老之类的时候的紧急按钮？

好像你不能去洗手间？我不知道。

我确信 99% 的按钮被按下都是意外或小孩子之类的。

可能是小孩子。

好像没有……也许上面有一个警告标志，但我看不懂。

是的。我相信大多数人都是无意中按下它的。

外国人可能会这样做。

他们应该始终讲英语。

好吧，这只是去年 12 月发生的事情。

所以这就是为什么这对我来说特别尴尬，

因为我来日本已经 5.5 年了。我更了解！

但是当你经过地铁站时，

你必须持有一张可以支付通行费的卡，

或者你可以买票。

当你拿到票时，将其放入机器中，然后拿起它

，然后当你到达要下车的车站时，

你再次将其放入机器中，这样它就可以计算出你所走的整个路线。

而且连续两次，我不知道为什么，我忘记接了。

这也发生在我身上。

发生的情况是它会粘住一分钟，如果你不把它捡起来，它就会被吸回机器中。

真的吗？！

是的，它装在一个小盒子里。 我不知道！

第二次我抓住它时，我就说“噢不！！”

然后我找到了火车站的工作人员，他走过去打开了机器

，从盒子里拿出来，给了我车票。

但第一次我没有注意到，直到我乘火车前往下一个目的地的一半时才注意到。

然后我打开钱包，感觉... O△O

我忘了拿票了！！

我当时的反应是 NOOOOOOOO

因为我知道将会发生什么

我必须去和火车工作人员交谈

我知道他们会说，“这是一个愚蠢的外国人试图欺骗系统！”

“试图假装他们什么都不知道，以便免费在这里闲逛！”

我当时想“啊啊啊他们会看不起我的！T△T

我不是故意的！”

我到了火车站工作人员那里，我说：“我忘记了车票！”

他说“好的，我给车站打电话。”

我当时想“你不相信我......:(” 他们给车站打电话了？

哦，是的，我想是因为你付了钱。

当我这样做时，我告诉他们我忘记了我的票，我必须再次付款。

哦不！

我不知道，也许我真的很好。

是的，他打电话给我，我等了几分钟

，他说“是的，他们拿到了票。你可以走了。”

我当时想，“好吧，至少他不认为我是一个试图欺骗系统的外国人。”

现在他只是认为我是一个忘记带票的愚蠢外国人。

天啊。

好吧，当你去日本的一家餐馆时，你总是必须

告诉服务员你有多少人。

我认为最自然的说法是二人です。

或者一人です。

或者类似的东西。

但他们总是问诸如２名様ですか？

而我就像“呃呃はい、２名様です。”

这有点奇怪，因为你基本上是在说你在她之上。

我认为他们希望将您置于上方，因为您是客户。

这是礼貌用语。

所以基本上当你对他们说２名様です

时，就像“是的，我很优越！我在这里，皇室成员。”

这让你听起来很高大上。

您正在将 -sama 添加到您自己的名字末尾。

是的，-sama就像上帝一样。

所以就好像你比每个人都好。

我的意思是也许没有那么强烈，但是

这就是我们学习日语时的想法，

-sama有点像上帝。

我最近才意识到我是这么说的。

所以...哎呀！

我也有语言方面的爱好。

这对我来说是一个大问题。

我有一个问题，当我吸收人们与我交谈时的说话方式

，然后我开始向他们重复。

所以，如果人们有他们说的常用短语

，那么我会想都没想就开始说这些短语。

有时即使人们有独特的笑声

有时我只是模仿他们而没有意识到

这是一件可怕的事情，我真的尽量不这样做

但它总是发生在我身上。

问题是，当我和说英语的日本人交谈时

，他们带着日本口音

，然后我开始用日本口音

向他们重复英语单词，这让我听起来非常种族主义。

等等你能给我们举个例子吗？

所以他们会说“哈罗！”

我会像“Harro!! :D”

回到他们身边。

“哈罗！”

我不应该这样说！！！

我完全明白你的意思。 “哈罗！”

是的，不仅仅是单词，还有糟糕的语法。

就像如果他们用非常刻板的日语英语语法说错了什么，

如果你以种族主义的方式对日本人形成刻板印象

这正是我不小心与人交谈的方式。

“哈罗！”

这是我做过的最尴尬的事情。

您是否曾与家人交谈时说“Unn. Unn”。

哦耶！

“Eeeh”

就像发出这些声音一样。

你的家人会问“你在做什么？”

这是一个错误。 我一直这样做，是的。

或者就像在美国鞠躬一样。 “嗨”并鞠躬。

我总是鞠躬。 “须弥线！须弥线！”

我在韩国的时候就这样做过几次。

我知道我不应该说英语，但我根本不懂韩语，所以

我只是不小心在那里说日语。

我想您可能会犯的另一个错误就是上错火车。

不是上错车，只是走反方向了。

对。

大约 3 站后你就意识到了这一点，你就像“呃糟糕！”

所以这是一个很大的错误。 天哪，是的。

我有最糟糕的故事。

这发生在一个半月或两个月前。

我要去一宫站见一个人。

去那里时，我不知道名铁有一条分成两条轨道的线路。

我什至不知道。你吓到我了。你会让我在火车上做噩梦的。

从名古屋出发，它向北行进，然后分裂并形成一个圆圈。

他们都到达了岐阜站。

我知道一宫位于名古屋站和岐阜站之间。

所以我坐火车去岐阜站。

所以我在火车上坐了 40 分钟。

我不知道有哪一站，因为我不习惯乘坐名铁。

我就想，“他们为什么还没到一宫？”

然后突然我听到

“下一站是犬山。”

我想，“我在犬山怎么样？！？！？！”

“发生了什么事？！我不应该在犬山！”

那就像在县的另一边。

是的，很远。

所以我从那里下车，然后我必须坐火车一路回到名古屋站。

我现在真的很沮丧

因为我已经迟到了一个半小时，因为到那里需要 40 分钟的车程。

当我回到名古屋时，我想，“好吧，我会非常小心的。”

我要选择开往岐阜的车

，然后我要在屏幕上阅读该车停靠的所有站点

，并确保它停靠在一宫。

所以我这样做了，我选择了正确的火车

，这列火车肯定停在一宫。

幸运的是，大约一分钟就有一个人进来！

当我一上车，我环顾四周，我就想...

这些看起来像是一种很奇特的座位。

这就像您从名古屋机场乘坐的火车。

我认为这些可能是预留座位。

您可能需要为此支付额外费用。

所以我想，好吧，我就去火车前面，坐在一些非预留座位上。

因为从名古屋机场出发的火车，他们有预留座位

，然后他们在前面有自由座位。

所以我一路走到火车前面

，那里没有非预留座位。

整趟车都被预订了！

我不知道名古屋周围有完全预订的名铁列车。

我不知道这是一件事。 我对此也不知道。

我终于到了前面，然后是售票员

，他正准备穿过火车并获取每个人的预留座位票。

然后我就开始哭泣。

因为我此时已经迟到了将近两个小时

我上错车了，现在我必须为这个预留座位支付额外费用。

绝对一切都出了问题。 他让你付钱了吗？

是的，他说“你必须付给我 360 日元。”

最糟糕的是我哭了，因为我压力太大了

不仅是因为正在发生的一切，而且我不喜欢惹上麻烦。

我上错车了，而且我没有车票。我感觉我会遇到麻烦。

所以我也很害怕，所以我哭了。

当我付钱时，他就开始大笑起来。

我说，你笑得怎么样？！你没看到我现在的绝望吗？！

你太粗鲁了！

你为什么笑我？实在是太卑鄙了！

这是有史以来最糟糕的经历。

不久前，我去自助结账台

，准备好信用卡来支付我的东西。

您必须将信用卡放入插槽中，但插槽太多了！

而且也不全是英语或其他语言。

我能读懂一些日语，但找不到插槽。它没有说卡槽什么的。

所以我开始将信用卡放入收据槽中。

我当时想“为什么它不进去？！”

这位女士走过来，她说“你需要帮助吗？”

她真的非常非常好。

但我只是……我脸红了。

因为我就像“我在做什么......”

她就像“在这里！”

它甚至离卡槽都不近。

卡槽位于顶部。

啊，太尴尬了！

至少那位女士真的很好

但每个人可能都在排队盯着我，就像“她在做什么？”

“外国人试图将她的卡放入收据槽......”

这是我第一次在自助结帐时使用信用卡付款，所以是的。

不，实际上我以前也这样做过。

我尝试过将其放入错误的插槽中，因为插槽有很多。

有用于存放门票、卡片的插槽...

按钮是插槽和平底锅。

收据和金钱的槽位，是的，有很多槽位。

当我在日本犯错时，我感到非常偏执

，因为不仅仅是我会说“啊，我犯了一个错误”之类的。

对于日本人来说，我代表所有外国人。

所以我觉得每次我这样做都让我的外国人弟兄失望了。

因为现在我让外国人在日本人眼中看起来更糟糕

因为他们看到“啊，另一个愚蠢的外国人犯了错误”。

每次我犯错误时，我都会对此感到非常偏执。

所以这对我来说压力特别大。

我不喜欢一个人去地方。

当我做或尝试新事物时，我喜欢和某人在一起。

但有时情况并非如此，我独自一人

，我必须自己解决这个问题。

希望您能从我们的错误中吸取教训。

从错误中吸取教训！

当你来日本时你会更清楚！

这是为了帮助你！

我们的愚蠢正在帮助你。

感谢您收看我们的频道！

大家都去看看凯莉的草莓麻糬吧！

她制作的视频非常好，剪辑得非常好等等！

谢谢大家！

再见，再见！

[英语]

Hey guys!

Today I'm here with Kelly from the channel Strawberry Mochi!

And we're gonna talk about mistakes that we've made in Japan.

Yep.

There are a lot.

Yeah.

Pretty embarrassing ones, too, so...

So Rachel, why don't you start?

OKAY

I guess one of the biggest mistakes-

I don't even know if you would call it a mistake,

just kind of like a really embarrassing thing.

Japan has really advanced toilets,

and all of them are completely different.

So I've seen like ten different ways to flush toilets here in Japan.

And sometimes they're not exactly intuitive.

So many buttons!

There's one particular type of toilet that I could not figure out how to flush.

I looked at all of the buttons. There was no handle.

I was in a big mall bathroom and I was so embarrassed, I was like "I don't want to leave the stall!!"

But I was like "Okay, all right, I need to go out"

and I ran out of the bathroom and got Jun and told him

"JUN GO TO THE BOY'S BATHROOM AND TELL ME WHERE THE FLUSH IS I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FLUSH IS"

And I had to wait for him to go in the stall in the boy's bathroom and come out

and he said "Oh it's this button right here."

I was like "OKAY!!!"

And I had to run back in and hope no one walked into my stall after me

because they would've been like "AUGH that foreign girl didn't flush the toilet!"

But what it is is, it was one of those with the wall panel on it.

Oh yeah.

And there are flush buttons that are flat on top of the panel.

Okay yeah, I've seen those before.

They're the ones that say 小さい or 大きい for little flush or big flush.

You can't know unless you know kanji for "flush"

and even then it's just a flat button on TOP of a panel.

Not even on the outside of the panel that's easy to see.

Because they ran out of room for buttons so they had to put flush on the top.

I was so confused. I was so embarrassed.

Okay so I have a toilet story, too.

It was during my internship time

and we were on a bus tour and we stopped.

We went into the bathroom. This bathroom was really cool because it showed you

what was open and what wasn't open.

Yeah! I know exactly which bathroom you're talking about.

I love that one. Those are really cool.

And then I couldn't find the flush button like you.

And so I just pressed a random button because I wanted to get out of the stall

and so I pressed a button and the emergency alarm went off.

And it was REALLY LOUD, this alarm.

I just walked out really casually.

I kind of looked at my friend like "I don't know what happened."

"That's crazy. Is there a fire or something?"

And then I told my friend on the bus what happened.

"That was me. It was the alarm button."

I don't know what they do with that.

I guess as an emergency button if you fall or slip or are old or something?

Like you can't go to the bathroom? I don't know.

I'm sure like 99% of that button getting pressed is accidents or little kids or something.

It could be little kids.

There's like no... maybe there was a warning sign on it and I just couldn't read it.

Yeah. I'm sure most people press it on accident.

Probably the foreign people do.

They should always have English.

All right, this just happened last December.

So this is why it's extra embarrassing for me,

because I've been coming to Japan for 5.5 years. I know better!

But when you go through the subway booths,

you have to either have a card where you can pay for your toll,

or you can get tickets.

And when you get a ticket you put it into the machine and then pick it up

and then when you leave at the station you're getting off at,

you put it into the machine again so it can calculate the whole route that you went.

And twice in a row, I don't know why, I forgot to pick it up.

It happened to me, too.

What happens is it'll stick up for a minute, and if you don't pick it up it'll get sucked back into the machine.

Really?!

Yeah, it goes into a little box. I had no idea!

The second time I caught it and was like "AW NO!!"

And I got the train station staff and he went over and opened up the machine

and took it out of the box for me and gave me my ticket.

But the first time I didn't notice until I was already halfway to my next destination on the train.

And I opened up my wallet and was like... O△O

I forgot to get my ticket!!

I was like NOOOOOOOO

Because I knew what was going to happen was

I would have to go talk to the train staff

and I knew they were going to be like, "It's a dumb foreigner trying to cheat the system!"

"Trying to pretend like they don't know anything to get around here for free!"

I was like "Ahhhh they're going to think so poorly of me!! T△T

I didn't do it on purpose!"

And I got to the train station staff and I was like, "I forgot my ticket!"

He said "Okay, I'll call the station."

I was like "You don't trust me... :(" They called the station?

Oh yeah, I guess because you paid for it.

When I did it I told them I forgot my ticket and I had to pay for it again.

Oh no!

I don't know, maybe I was really nice.

Yeah, he called for me and I waited for a couple minutes

and he said "Yeah, they got the ticket. You're good to go."

I was like, "Okay, well at least he doesn't think I was a foreigner trying to cheat the system."

Now he just thinks I'm a stupid gaijin who forgot my ticket.

Oh god.

Okay so when you go to a restaurant in Japan you always have to

tell the waitress how many people you have.

And I think the natural way to say it is 二人です。

Or 一人です。

Or something like that.

But they always ask like２名様ですか？

And I'm like "Uhhhh はい、２名様です。"

Which is kind of weird because you're basically saying you're above her.

I think they want to put you above because you're the customer.

It's polite speech.

So basically when you say ２名様です back to them

it's like "YES I am superior! I am here, the royalty."

It kind of makes you sound high up there.

You're adding -sama to the end of your own name.

Yeah, -sama is like god.

So it's like you're better than everybody.

I mean maybe it's not that intense but

that's what we think when we learn Japanese,

-sama is kind of like god.

I kind of realized that recently that I was saying this.

So... whooops!

I kind of have a language thing, too.

And this is a huge problem for me.

I have this problem where I absorb the way people talk when they talk to me

and I start repeating it back to them.

So like if people have common phrases that they say

then without even thinking I'll start saying those phrases.

Sometimes even if people have a unique laugh

sometimes I just mimic them without realizing it

and it's a horrible thing that I really try not to do

but it just happens to me all the time.

And the problem is when I'm talking to Japanese people who are speaking English

and they're speaking with a Japanese accent

then I start repeating English words back to them with a Japanese accent

which makes me sound SO INCREDIBLY RACIST.

Wait can you give us an example?

So they'll say like "Harro!"

And I'll be like "Harro!! :D"

back to them.

"Harro!"

I'm not supposed to say it like that!!!!

I totally know what you mean. "Harro!"

Yeah and not just words but like poor grammar.

Like if they say something incorrectly with very stereotypical Japanese English grammar,

If you were stereotyping Japanese people in a racist way

that's exactly how I'm accidentally talking to people.

"Harro!"

That's the most embarrassing thing that I do.

Have you ever talked to your family and you're like "Unn. Unn."

Oh yeah!

"Eeeh"

Just like making these noises.

And your family's like "What are you doing?"

That's a mistake. I do that all the time, yeah.

Or like bowing in America. "Hai" and bowing.

I bow all the time. "Sumimasen! Sumimasen!"

I did that a few times when I was in Korea.

I know I'm not supposed to speak English but I don't know any Korean at all so

I just accidentally speak in Japanese there.

I guess one more mistake that you could probably relate to is just getting on the wrong train.

Not the wrong train, it's just going the opposite way.

Right.

And you realize it like 3 stops later and you're like "Ughh crap!"

So that's a big mistake. Omg yeah.

I have the worst story.

This happened like a month and a half or maybe two months ago.

I was going to meet someone at Ichinomiya station.

And going there, I didn't know that Meitetsu has a line that splits into two tracks.

I didn't even know. You're scaring me. You're going to give me train nightmares.

From Nagoya it goes north and then it splits and goes into a circle.

And they both reach Gifu station.

I know that Ichinomiya is between Nagoya and Gifu station.

So I was on the train up to Gifu station.

So I'm sitting on the train for 40 minutes.

I have no idea what any of the stops are because I'm not used to riding Meitetsu.

And I'm like, "Why haven't they gotten to Ichinomiya yet?"

And then all of a sudden I hear like

"The next station is Inuyama."

I'm like, "HOW AM I AT INUYAMA?!?!?!"

"WHAT HAPPENED?! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AT INUYAMA!"

That's like on the other side of the prefecture.

Yeah, it's far.

So I get off there and I have to take the train all the way back to Nagoya station.

And I'm really upset now

because I'm already an hour and a half late because it was like a 40 minute ride up there.

When I got back to Nagoya I was like, "All right, I'm going to be super careful."

I'm going to pick out the one that goes toward Gifu

and I'm going to read all of the stops that it stops at on the screen

and make sure it stops at Ichinomiya.

So I do that, I pick out the correct train

and this train for sure stops at Ichinomiya.

Lucky me there's one coming in like one minute!

And as soon as I get on I look around and I'm like...

These look like kind of fancy seats.

This is like the train you take from Nagoya airport.

I think these might be reserved seats.

You might have to pay extra for these.

So I'm like, okay, I'll just go to the front of the train and sit in some of the non-reserved seats.

Because the trains from Nagoya airport, they have reserved seats

and then they have non-reserved seats at the front.

So I walk all the way to the front of the train

and there ARE NO NON-RESERVED SEATS.

The entire train is reserved!

I had NO IDEA there are entirely reserved Meitetsu trains just running around Nagoya.

I had no idea that was a thing. I had no idea about that, either.

I finally get to the front and then there's the ticket guy

and he's getting ready to walk through the train and get everyone's reserved seat tickets.

And I just start crying.

Because I'm almost two hours late at this point

I'm on the wrong train and now I have to pay extra for this reserved seat.

Absolutely everything went wrong. Did he make you pay?

Yeah, he was like "You have to pay me 360 yen."

The worst part of this is I'm crying because I'm so stressed out

and not just about everything that's happening, but I don't like getting in trouble.

I'm on the wrong train and I don't have the ticket. I feel like I'm going to get in trouble.

So I was scared, too, and so I'm crying.

And he just starts smiling and laughing while I'm paying.

I'm like, how are you laughing?! Do you not see the despair that I'm in right now?!

You're so rude!

Why are you laughing at me? That's really mean!

It was the worst experience ever.

Not too long ago I went to the self checkout

and I had my credit card ready to pay for my stuff.

You have to put your credit card into a slot, but there are so many slots!

And it wasn't all in English or anything.

And I can read some Japanese but I couldn't find the slot. It didn't say card slot or anything.

So I started putting my credit card into the receipt slot.

And I was like "Why isn't it going in?!"

And this lady came up, she was like "Do you need help?"

She was really, really nice.

But I was just so... I turned red.

Because I was like "What am I doing..."

She's like "Up here!"

It wasn't even close to the card slot.

The card slot was like way at the top.

Augh so embarrassing!

At least the lady was really nice

but everyone was probably in line staring at me like "What is she doing?"

"Foreigner's trying to put her card in the receipt slot..."

This was the first time I ever paid with a credit card at the self checkout so yeah.

No, actually I've done that before, too.

I've tried putting it in the wrong slot because yeah there are a lot of slots.

There're slots for tickets, cards...

Buttons are slots and pans.

Slots for receipts and money, yeah lots of slots.

I feel so paranoid when I make a mistake in Japan

because it's not just me being like "Ahh I made a mistake" or whatever.

It's me representing all foreigners to Japanese people.

So I feel like every time I do that I'm letting down my brethren foreigners.

Because now I just made foreigners look worse to Japanese people

because they saw "ahh, another dumb foreigner making a mistake."

I'm so paranoid about that every time I make a mistake.

So it's extra stressful for me.

I don't like going places alone.

I like to be with someone when I'm doing or trying something new.

But sometimes that's not the case, I'm by myself

and I have to figure it out by myself.

Hopefully you can learn from our mistakes.

Learn from our mistakes!

When you come to Japan you'll know better!

This is to help you!

Our stupidity is helping you.

Well thank you for being on our channel!

And everyone go check out Kelly on Strawberry Mochi!

She makes really good videos that are super well edited and stuff!

Thanks guys!

See you, bye!
