[00:01:28]>> So, and this is first time in Japan.

[00:01:30]>> Yes.

[00:01:31]>> Why you chose Japan?

[00:01:33]>> Why you include Japan in your trip?

[00:01:37]>> There are many reasons I think.

[00:01:39]>> Uh first uh personally I was a manga fan from the beginning.

[00:01:47]>> Also, we have some friends who already came in Japan and told us it was superb.

[00:01:54]And also we have seen some touristic videos or or films and uh like TV shows that give us that gave us the >> some ideas.

[00:02:06]>> Yeah.

[00:02:07]>> Uh how do they present Japan in your country like in TV?

[00:02:13]>> First of all, I think that the culture is very different between the friends what we know in Europe and here in Japan. Uh >> I think it's that the person are very kind, very respectful, very >> polite.

[00:02:27]>> Polite.

[00:02:28]>> So uh so what you heard uh in the media like in the t on the TV and stuff and now you are actually experienced the Japanese. Are they true?

[00:02:42]>> Oh, I see. I see.

[00:02:44]>> It's it's true. But it's like different when you experience it. Like you really see the difference when you come. Uh in person and >> you don't come, >> you have to kind of have an idea, but you see it really.

[00:02:57]>> Oh, I see. I see.

[00:02:59]>> The for me the personally this the thing that stands out is like when you enter a shop or or cafe or restaurant, it's like the the respect from the the vendor, the >> Oh, the people who works there, >> the respectful.

[00:03:13]>> Yeah.

[00:03:14]>> And uh for instance, in France, it's not like like that. uh the customer is not always really uh welcomed as much and uh take care of and so there is a real difference on this smiling and also >> yes always saying >> so they are kind of helpful >> very helpful >> it's our first time in Japan but we we saw that people welcome ush >> uh they are very present for us >> when we ask for something that okay uh you just have to do this you you are welcome etc etc etc so we saw that we are >> we are good here >> oh I see on contrary did you felt uh something difficult >> I think I it's quite difficult to talk with them uh not just the the welcoming word but also to have a conversation with them. I think it's quite difficult >> just language wise.

[00:04:20]>> The language so that when you get lost like when you're looking at you know the smartphone >> the people didn't come to help you or >> they help us but just uh >> then uh uh what is your like a highlight of this stay like in Japan? for me the culture like the temple and the traditional monuments because here it's very important and >> when we we see some monuments in France it's not like this we are used to to say it in French but here it's something completely different I think that it's my highlight of the >> so visiting those historical places and look at the like buildings and monument is there. Uh >> when you are just walking in the street, you can see a shrine or every uh I don't I don't know like 500 meters there is a shrine and you can enter and there is nobody and there are people that are coming to to pray and uh so it's a beautiful thing to see. It's like quite relaxing if you compare with the the heart of the for example the art of Tokyo where it's very stimulating with ads with uh lights everywhere and then you go to a shrine and it's like very uh >> relaxing.

[00:05:48]>> I see. So exciting and >> the taking a break and going up and down.
