"content": "One of my Favriooute city New York <br /><br />New York is situated in the northeast region of the United States of America. Over 8 million people call the Big Apple home, and the city attracts up to 50 million visitors a year.<br /><br />Ever since the colonists arrived in 16 24, New York has been continuously shaped by the waves of immigrants drawn here by the promise of hope and liberty. Every newcomer arrives with a cultural suitcase that contributed to the sounds, tastes, and textures of New York. But it is their dreams which built the city, a city like no other. New York touches not only the heavens with its mythic skyline; its influence radiates to every corner of the globe. Every street corner, it seems, is familiar through documentary, movie, and song. New York straightforward grid system makes it an accessible city to explore by foot, taxi, or on its subway, which, just like the city, never sleeps. In Manhattan's Midtown. You'll find many of the Big Apple's most iconic symbols, the art deco design Empire State Building, which is one of the most impressive and enduring skyscrapers ever created. The skyline may have grown up around it, but the view from the 100 and second floor is as breathtaking today as it was when it first opened in 1931.<br /><br />New York has always been a place where when the going got tough, the tough got going. The Rockefeller Center, a visionary city within a city, rose during the darkest days of the Great Depression.<br /><br />Today, it's still a place of creativity, inspiration, and even more incredible views of the city. Closer to earth is Grand Central Terminal. Step into the main concourse and feel the echo of every tearful farewell and joyous greeting throughout the station's history. New York has always been the gateway to the land of the free. But it is also the city of the spree. The shopping spree, the town, is shopaholic, heaven and Fifth Avenue, with his eye-popping window displays, is the high temple of the retail world's. Times Square, one of the most visited tourist attractions on the planet. Stand here on the corner of Broadway and 7th Avenue, and you stand at the crossroads of the world. It's also the place to step up a half-price ticket to a Broadway show. New York has been blessed with generous civic spaces, but there is no more significant chillout space in the Big Apple than Central Park, a beautiful eight hundred and fifty-acre network of meadows and lakes. This is the place where New Yorkers come to rest. Romance and express themselves. Over the decades, many New Yorkers made it big, and much of that fabulous wealth was reinvested into collecting some of the most significant artworks on the planet. Nowadays, much of this art is available for everyone to enjoy. A walk through the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a walk through 5000 years of humankind's most significant creative moments. The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Guggenheim is a different kind of step, one which spirals ever upward through a dizzying collection of 20th and 21st-century masterpieces.<br /><br />Newcomers to New York spend much of their time looking skyward, but since the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, a new attraction gives locals and visitors a chance to pause and bowed their heads. The reflecting absence, memorial, and museum honor the 3000 people who lost their lives on that darkest of September days. New York resonates with the sounds of over 800 language groups, and nothing epitomizes this diversity. Like the city's neighborhoods, Little Italy packs all the tastes and flavors of Italy into just a couple of streets, while Soho attracts cool cats and well-heeled bohemians from all over the world. A few streets away, Greenwich Village proudly retains the cafes and bars her creative residents like Bob Dylan first performed before becoming American icons. And then there are the burros walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to the melting pot of Brooklyn with its distinctive neighborhoods. Museum open spaces. And who could forget Coney Island? So welcome to New York City, the Big Apple. We've only just given you a bite-sized taste of what this incredible city has to offer. But if you've got an appetite for the very best things that life has to offer. This is the destination for you. There's enough to feast on here for a lifetime.<br />",

"content": "Going to Visit Japan? Here The Don'ts of Visiting Japan. That you must remember<br />Hey there, fellow travelers marked with boulders rolled and said we're in Kyoto, Japan, the former capital of Japan, and definitely to places you don't want to miss when you do come to this beautiful country of Japan. And today's video was some of the cultural don'ts and tours don'ts for you do come here to Japan. So you can have a better time when you're here and not maybe make your guests or your host, I should say, go to hell — these foreigners doing now.<br /><br />Now, my next goal for you is don't put the toilet on high pressure, at least for the first time. For those who don't know, the toilets in Japan are super advanced, like a gift from the future. When you come here, I mean, heated toilet seats. The bidet part is built into it. Music. So you don't have to hear people or people don't have to listen to you doing your business. It's cool. But the thing is, if it's your first time and you're not sure what the buttons do, we have a video to explain that if you put the pressure on high, you might get quite the surprise. That being, no call asked me this year because you cleaned everything out down there. So do be careful with that one. OK, the first time I have you had to deal with before you come to Japan, and that is. Don't forget to get your Jae-Ha past your Japan rail pass before you go because you can't get it when you're here when you have a jar pass to give you your seven, 14, 21 days, different intervals where you can travel as much as you can and as much as you want on the Japan rail lines. And what's cool is that jar passes just aren't for Tokyo to Kyoto. But they also work sometimes in the cities on local trains, not all of them. But some of them. But don't forget to do that before you come. Because once you get here, man, that the train tickets, I mean, just back and forth to Kyoto from Tokyo will pay for it. No problem whatsoever. <br /><br />OK, now next, don't have four years when you come here. Don't expect to hear a lot of English and don't expect to have a lot of English being understood. And don't expect to have a lot of English menus. Look, Japan is culture advanced so many ways. It's fantastic. But it comes in English for tourists. It's not quite there yet. But what's cool is people will work with you and help you out and figure things out and help you order your food and find the right places because the people are fantastic. But don't expect a lot of English and do expect to be doing a lot of. I want this like pointing out the food and stuff like that, which is great because they have a lot of plasticizer food out there that you say I went then and they're like, OK.<br /><br /> So that does work out very well. But I would say at least learn a few words before you come. Of course, I got, which is. Thank you. It's gonna be the most important one. You know, Kunene Schwa is high. And we have we know the underlying numbers. You ichi need one-two things like that. It makes a big difference with the locals here. So that does help you out. Now, sticking with our bathroom theme here. There are some other don'ts, especially if you're looking at the onset of the spa's when you come here. One, you don't wear clothes when you go in there. But don't worry, it's separating the male-female. Also with the two towels, they give you, you don't take the big one with you. When you go in, you accept the small one and that actually goes on your head. The big ones for later for you to dry off. OK. So so that you know, now the next view is don't just stay in Tokyo.<br /><br />Yes. Tokyo is awesome. Yes. I love Tokyo. I would like to move there and work there. It is a fantastic city. But when you come to Japan, try to get out. If you just happen to Kyoto, we're going to Osaka, or you're going to go someplace get out of Tokyo. The country is gorgeous. The very north, the very south. There's so much to see, so much to do. Temples, landscapes, mountains, scapes, all kinds of islands, beaches, all kinds of amazing things to enjoy throughout the whole country. And a lot of tourists just get to Tokyo and go, oh, my God, this place is so excellent. I'm not going to leave. And believe me, you'll have that feeling. I had it, too. But you have to get out and explore. What's incredible is with that Shiaa Pass. You can explore the whole country for actually a pretty low price. I mean, it is pretty cheap for a week or two to come here. People travel all over and see all these things. It is awesome. My next door for you that goes along with Don't you stay in Tokyo is don't think that Japan is just these things you see on TV. You know, the people dressed in animal costumes and neon lights and stuff like that.<br /><br />That's that's Tokyo. OK. When you get out of Tokyo, you get such different cultural feelings when you go around many more temples and many more nature sites and stuff like that. It's not just this modern architecture. There's so much to see here and so much to do that. It's not this anime or Karmanos kind of thing. There's a lot of in-between as well. Now we're next stones for half. You had to deal with it when you stay here. One thing is don't think you're going to get a family of four into one hotel room. Look, there's not a lot of hotels that will build accommodate everybody in one room. So you might need to rent two hotel rooms or we've done is actually we did find a place that allows rent have for, you know, places on a floor to sleep together. But they also ended up doing was renting apartments and houses so we could all be together. And that actually was more economical due to that. So but don't think if you're going to go to a standard hotel that you're going to be able to get everybody in there because it is a lot smaller. OK. Another dome is when you go to stay at someone's home. Are you gonna rent a house or something like that? Or anytime you visiting one's home? If you're lucky enough to visit someone's home here, it's fantastic. Take your shoes off. You don't wear your shoes in the people's houses. OK. Once you come in, shoes come off, and then they'll give you slippers. No big. Slippers right there. <br /><br />You slide your feet in them, and you walk in there with that. Also, they have bathroom slippers or toilet slippers. Don't forget to take off the toilet slippers and switch back into your regular slippers. When you walk around, OK, that's one thing I have for you. Another don't I have is that you're going to be seeing more of a historical place or if you're staying here in Kyoto or you're exploring more of the country, you're staying in kind of the traditional hotels or traditional home or something like that. I will say this. Don't get too loud when you're there because, you know, paper walls and sliding doors and stuff like that. It's effortless to irritate people and make a lot of noise and break through the doors and things like that because it does happen. So do be careful with that. Now, they don't make a noise. Don't get too loud at your hotel. And stuff like that goes back into the don't make noise in general and public transportation here in Japan. It is a peaceful country. You take the metro, and you take the bus as you walk around. It's a quiet place. I'm in a city of 1.5 million people, and it's pretty quiet right now. And you do have that. So make sure you're not making a lot of noise when you're using public transport or when you're going around, because the Japanese, they're not loud people. It's much more of a quiet kind of thing. We honestly, this is the loudest. It's gotten a week and a half.<br /><br /> We've been here now looking at safety. Don't I have for you is don't forget to look right when you cross the street here in Japan, they drive on the left, like in England and Scotland and stuff like that. And the thing is, is you're if you're used to looking left and then right, it'll be too late because either the car or the bike will be coming through and nail you. OK. So do watch out for that. Make sure you pay attention to that. Also, don't freak out if your taxi doors pop open for you because they're automatic in the back of the taxes that they just open it for you. So just a heads up for that one. Right. So don't freak out about that. Now, when you hop on your tax and you're gonna be walking around and doing things, one of the things you don't do when you're walking around in Japan is smoke. And you will see signs on the street, on the walls over the place saying don't smoke and walk because you can get fined for that. OK. So don't burn and walk. Also, you don't walk and eat at the same time.<br /><br />So you'll see people sit down and eat. But they're not walking around eating because that's kind of a cultural faux pas. So do be careful with that. Another doughnut, half you with the food, is when you go to a restaurant. OK.<br /><br />You'll sit down, and they'll bring like a hot towel for you or a hot napkin for you. That is only for your hands. And don't use it on your face. OK, that is just for your hands to wipe them off and put it to the side. All right. And if we kind of look into some of the don'ts in terms of the chopstick stuff, don't have lousy chopstick etiquette. Part three will support once for tourists. No, it's one you don't point with your chopsticks to. You don't pass food from chopsticks. A chopstick. OK, you put it down. Let. Yeah, they let them figure their own stuff up and don't put the chopsticks straight down into the rice or the food like this because that's kind of it's it's from a ceremony at funerals. So you don't want to do that. OK. Another don't I have you as. Don't pay for your waiter. Now when I say don't pay your waiter, I'm not saying don't pay. I'm saying you don't pay for your waiter. When you pay the bill. What you do is the way to relieve the bill at your table before you've started eating. It's already down there. OK. What you'll do is when you're done, you just take your bill and you go to the front of the restaurant and the front of the restaurant, they'll be a cashier. Then you just give them the thing and you pay them with cash and you leave. And that's all you have to do. Also, you don't tip in Japan, so you don't have to worry about thinking. Is it ten or fifteen percent? No, you don't tip. That's it. Restaurants and taxis just don't do it. OK. And the thing is, when you eat in Japan, don't worry about having any clue about what you're eating because you may see it outside. Go. I have no idea what this is, but it looks good. And you're going to order that. Don't worry. Also, don't worry if you don't know how to eat food. But I will say is don't be afraid to ask the waiter how you eat it. If they don't speak English, it's OK because they'll give you an idea as this goes with this. This goes with that. And that can be super helpful. OK. <br /><br />Now some other don'ts to go with the eating kind of stuff when you are here, because, man, the food's so fantastic, you're giving all sorts of crazy things that you're going to love. One, don't worry about the slurping sound with the noodles. It's supposed to help enhance the flavor. But of course, with me being such a messy pig when I eat. This is why I'm wearing black. A lot of the videos this time because my shirt's covered with stuff, whether it's the soba, that udon or ramen. Oh my god, it is so good when you eat here. But the thing is, don't worry about the slurping. It's OK. It's not bad manners. You'll be all right. Another don't I have for you is if someone invites you out to dinner. Don't try to pay. OK. Don't do that. Oh, no, I want to get this. No, that's an insult. You pay whoever invites people. That's the person that pays. So don't forget, if you ask Sunday dinner, you're expected to pay. OK.<br />Another thing you want to look at in terms of you have business meetings or stuff like that or any kind of thing, you're giving somebody something, or they're you're they're handing something to you. That's kind of a little bit of reverence or a variety of good manners. You always hand with two hands. So you might give your money with two sides, or they might give you the receipt back in two hands or business cards. Always two hands and have respect for that. Because if you don't, it's. Like showing disrespect for the person. So remember, two sides accepting and two hands giving. That's the way we do things here, OK? And also kind of go along with the business thing here is if you're going to be drinking, which might happen with your business colleagues. You don't pour for yourself. You always pour for the person that you're drinking with.<br /><br /> And you pour away towards them. You don't pour it for yourself, you know, pour this way. Now it's pouring out for them. OK. Just FYI. Otherwise, he'd be like, hey, what are you doing, man? Coke. Hey, so don't pour your drink. All right. I quit along with the business stuff. Don't be late. And when I say don't be late, Japan, I mean, don't be late. The buses, the trains, the meetings, the shows that anything, everything is on time. And if it's not on time, people are embarrassed by that. And that's not a good thing to be embarrassed by here. People tell you they're sorry, about 4000 times that they are late. So as a foreigner, I know we get a little bit of leeway because we're not from here. But you're going to be on time.<br />All right. It's a crucial thing here. And it's funny. I say that you should be on time and hurry up and get there on time. When I also say is don't get in a hurry and don't freak out when you get surrounded by a lot of people, or you wait in a long line to go on a bus or a subway or something like that, because they're very efficient here in getting things done. Meaning you may see this long line. You're like, oh, my God, we're going to make it, or we're going to make it look. It's going to work in an efficient way. You'll get there. You'll get on your train. You'll get on the bus. It might not be this one. It might be the next one. They will make it happen. And that's what's so cool. And another thing is if you're taking a subway in places like Tokyo or here in Kyoto and there are lots of people at a stop that want to get off.<br /><br /> You don't like to smoosh back in. What you do is you actually step out of the subway to let people out and then they let you back in. And then everyone comes. It's not like, you know, in Germany where people are trying to go in and out of the same time. It's just like an explosion. Now, don't forget your manners when you're on public transportation. OK. And don't forget when you're heading down to the subway or heading up from the tube, you know, a lot of places that stand right and walk left. Oh, no, no. If you're in Kyoto, if you're in Tokyo, it's actually you stand on the left to let people walk on the right. And that might be different in other places. But since there are so many people going here, make sure you pay attention, make you're standing on the left side and let people on the right go by. OK. And I guess the last couple of thanks I'll talk about is the garbage here because you'll notice that one doesn't expect to find a lot of garbage cans here. If you have stuff and you're going to be, you know, when you throw things away, it could be that you're going to be carrying your garbage around with you for a while. So. So don't forget to bring some plastic bags with you or just stuff. You know, if you go to the storehouse to those plastic bags, have it with you so you can kind of put your trash in there. When you do find a dumpster, you can throw it away. And the thing is, don't forget to separate your trash to when you do have the chance to throw it away because they do incinerate a lot of stuff here. So make sure you're separating, burning versus no burning for the risk of plastics and balls and things like that, cause it is essential now. I hope that helps. You know a little bit more about this in Japan. So you're more ready to come. Don't skip out on Japan. It is a beautiful country, a beautiful place. I highly recommend it. So don't miss out. ",

"content": "Going to Visit Japan? Here The Don'ts of Visiting Japan. That you must remember\nHey there, fellow travelers marked with boulders rolled and said we're in Kyoto, Japan, the former capital of Japan, and definitely to places you don't want to miss when you do come to this beautiful country of Japan. And today's video was some of the cultural don'ts and tours don'ts for you do come here to Japan. So you can have a better time when you're here and not maybe make your guests or your host, I should say, go to hell — these foreigners doing now.\n\nNow, my next goal for you is don't put the toilet on high pressure, at least for the first time. For those who don't know, the toilets in Japan are super advanced, like a gift from the future. When you come here, I mean, heated toilet seats. The bidet part is built into it. Music. So you don't have to hear people or people don't have to listen to you doing your business. It's cool. But the thing is, if it's your first time and you're not sure what the buttons do, we have a video to explain that if you put the pressure on high, you might get quite the surprise. That being, no call asked me this year because you cleaned everything out down there. So do be careful with that one. OK, the first time I have you had to deal with before you come to Japan, and that is. Don't forget to get your Jae-Ha past your Japan rail pass before you go because you can't get it when you're here when you have a jar pass to give you your seven, 14, 21 days, different intervals where you can travel as much as you can and as much as you want on the Japan rail lines. And what's cool is that jar passes just aren't for Tokyo to Kyoto. But they also work sometimes in the cities on local trains, not all of them. But some of them. But don't forget to do that before you come. Because once you get here, man, that the train tickets, I mean, just back and forth to Kyoto from Tokyo will pay for it. No problem whatsoever. \n\nOK, now next, don't have four years when you come here. Don't expect to hear a lot of English and don't expect to have a lot of English being understood. And don't expect to have a lot of English menus. Look, Japan is culture advanced so many ways. It's fantastic. But it comes in English for tourists. It's not quite there yet. But what's cool is people will work with you and help you out and figure things out and help you order your food and find the right places because the people are fantastic. But don't expect a lot of English and do expect to be doing a lot of. I want this like pointing out the food and stuff like that, which is great because they have a lot of plasticizer food out there that you say I went then and they're like, OK.\n\n So that does work out very well. But I would say at least learn a few words before you come. Of course, I got, which is. Thank you. It's gonna be the most important one. You know, Kunene Schwa is high. And we have we know the underlying numbers. You ichi need one-two things like that. It makes a big difference with the locals here. So that does help you out. Now, sticking with our bathroom theme here. There are some other don'ts, especially if you're looking at the onset of the spa's when you come here. One, you don't wear clothes when you go in there. But don't worry, it's separating the male-female. Also with the two towels, they give you, you don't take the big one with you. When you go in, you accept the small one and that actually goes on your head. The big ones for later for you to dry off. OK. So so that you know, now the next view is don't just stay in Tokyo.\n\nYes. Tokyo is awesome. Yes. I love Tokyo. I would like to move there and work there. It is a fantastic city. But when you come to Japan, try to get out. If you just happen to Kyoto, we're going to Osaka, or you're going to go someplace get out of Tokyo. The country is gorgeous. The very north, the very south. There's so much to see, so much to do. Temples, landscapes, mountains, scapes, all kinds of islands, beaches, all kinds of amazing things to enjoy throughout the whole country. And a lot of tourists just get to Tokyo and go, oh, my God, this place is so excellent. I'm not going to leave. And believe me, you'll have that feeling. I had it, too. But you have to get out and explore. What's incredible is with that Shiaa Pass. You can explore the whole country for actually a pretty low price. I mean, it is pretty cheap for a week or two to come here. People travel all over and see all these things. It is awesome. My next door for you that goes along with Don't you stay in Tokyo is don't think that Japan is just these things you see on TV. You know, the people dressed in animal costumes and neon lights and stuff like that.\n\nThat's that's Tokyo. OK. When you get out of Tokyo, you get such different cultural feelings when you go around many more temples and many more nature sites and stuff like that. It's not just this modern architecture. There's so much to see here and so much to do that. It's not this anime or Karmanos kind of thing. There's a lot of in-between as well. Now we're next stones for half. You had to deal with it when you stay here. One thing is don't think you're going to get a family of four into one hotel room. Look, there's not a lot of hotels that will build accommodate everybody in one room. So you might need to rent two hotel rooms or we've done is actually we did find a place that allows rent have for, you know, places on a floor to sleep together. But they also ended up doing was renting apartments and houses so we could all be together. And that actually was more economical due to that. So but don't think if you're going to go to a standard hotel that you're going to be able to get everybody in there because it is a lot smaller. OK. Another dome is when you go to stay at someone's home. Are you gonna rent a house or something like that? Or anytime you visiting one's home?

I will say this. Don't get too loud when you're there because, you know, paper walls and sliding doors and stuff like that. It's effortless to irritate people and make a lot of noise and break through the doors and things like that because it does happen. So do be careful with that. Now, they don't make a noise.

Make sure you pay attention to that. Also, don't freak out if your taxi doors pop open for you because they're automatic in the back of the taxes that they just open it for you. So just a heads up for that one. Right. So don't freak out about that. Now, when you hop on your tax and you're gonna be walking around and doing things, one of the things you don't do when you're walking around in Japan is smoke.

And don't use it on your face. OK, that is just for your hands to wipe them off and put it to the side. All right. And if we kind of look into some of the don'ts in terms of the chopstick stuff, don't have lousy chopstick etiquette. Part three will support once for tourists. No, it's one you don't point with your chopsticks to. You don't pass food from chopsticks. A chopstick. OK, you put it down. Let. Yeah, they let them figure their own stuff up and don't put the chopsticks straight down into the rice or the food like this because that's kind of it's it's from a ceremony at funerals. So you don't want to do that. OK. Another don't I have you as. Don't pay for your waiter. Now when I say don't pay your waiter, I'm not saying don't pay. I'm saying you don't pay for your waiter.

Then you just give them the thing and you pay them with cash and you leave. And that's all you have to do. Also, you don't tip in Japan, so you don't have to worry about thinking. Is it ten or fifteen percent? No, you don't tip. That's it. Restaurants and taxis just don't do it. OK. And the thing is, when you eat in Japan, don't worry about having any clue about what you're eating because you may see it outside. Go. I have no idea what this is, but it looks good.

If they don't speak English, it's OK because they'll give you an idea as this goes with this. This goes with that. And that can be super helpful. OK. \n\nNow some other don'ts to go with the eating kind of stuff when you are here, because, man, the food's so fantastic, you're giving all sorts of crazy things that you're going to love. One, don't worry about the slurping sound with the noodles. It's supposed to help enhance the flavor. But of course, with me being such a messy pig when I eat. This is why I'm wearing black. A lot of the videos this time because my shirt's covered with stuff, whether it's the soba, that udon or ramen. Oh my god, it is so good when you eat here. But the thing is, don't worry about the slurping. It's OK. It's not bad manners. You'll be all right. Another don't I have for you is if someone invites you out to dinner. Don't try to pay. OK. Don't do that. Oh, no, I want to get this. No, that's an insult. You pay whoever invites people. That's the person that pays. So don't forget, if you ask Sunday dinner, you're expected to pay. OK.\nAnother thing you want to look at in terms of you have business meetings or stuff like that or any kind of thing, you're giving somebody something, or they're you're they're handing something to you. That's kind of a little bit of reverence or a variety of good manners. You always hand with two hands. So you might give your money with two sides, or they might give you the receipt back in two hands or business cards. Always two hands and have respect for that. Because if you don't, it's. Like showing disrespect for the person. So remember, two sides accepting and two hands giving. That's the way we do things here, OK? And also kind of go along with the business thing here is if you're going to be drinking, which might happen with your business colleagues. You don't pour for yourself.

Otherwise, he'd be like, hey, what are you doing, man? Coke. Hey, so don't pour your drink. All right. I quit along with the business stuff. Don't be late. And when I say don't be late, Japan, I mean, don't be late. The buses, the trains, the meetings, the shows that anything, everything is on time.
