HOW TO EAT NATTO! (VIDEO)

Nattō is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. Some eat it as a breakfast food. Nattō may be an acquired taste because of its powerful smell, strong flavor, and slimy texture. (Wikipedia)

MY JAPANESE HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE! (VIDEO)

I will talk about how Japanese high school was like in Tokyo because I graduated from high school. Whoot Whoot!


Check out how I was like and my school uniforms were like in the video down below. 
First of all, I had to wear the typical school uniform you see in Anime a lot. It is a must and you can't enter school unless you wear the uniform. However, there are schools that don't require students to wear uniforms at all but there are fewer schools that don't require wearing the uniform than schools that require wearing it. 
We learn English from junior high and of course in high school but most of them can't speak the language fluently after graduating because what they learn most is often grammar and reading.
In High school, students bring their lunch box or buy sandwiches from convenience store and they eat it in a class room usually. However, in Junior high school, most schools serve lunch to students so they don't have to prepare lunch. 
Finally, I enjoyed high school especially studying part so I was kind of weird. Who likes studying? Right. I was awkward with girls but I changed a lot from then and I am glad about that. Were you a weirdo like me when you were in school?

INSIDE MAID CAFE IN TOKYO! (VIDEO)

Maid cafés (メイド喫茶 / メイドカフェ Meido kissa / Meido kafe) are a subcategory of cosplay restaurants found in Japan. I have a video of me going in with gaijin friends so check that out!


The maid cafe is filled with cosplayed guys........JK
In these cafés, waitresses dressed in maid costumes act as servants, and treat customers as masters (and mistresses) in a private home, rather than as café patrons. The first permanent maid café, was established in Tokyo. Maid cafés were originally designed primarily to cater to the fantasies of male otaku, fans of anime, manga, and video games. Most maid cafés offer menus similar to those of more typical cafés. There are many rituals and additional services offered at many maid cafés. Maids greet customers with "Welcome home, Master (Mistress)" and offer them wipe towels and menus.(Wikipedia) 

In my opinion, I have been there once in the video and that is it because I am not into anime much. I love major ones like Naruto, Gintama, and Dragonball. However, if you like girly cute anime, I can understand why they go crazy about maid cafes. There is a lot in Akihabara which is east Tokyo. The place has very weird atmosphere for people who are not into anime much. 

Check out me going to the Maid Cafe for the first time:
