The video astutely captures the psychological friction between Japan’s culture of "civil inattention" and the more assertive social visibility of the West. It highlights how our sense of public comfort is entirely shaped by the unspoken social contracts of our environment.

People Stare WAY More Outside of Japan... // Back in Sweden!
Added:Hey guys. So today we're in Stockholm.
Did you guys know I'm from Stockholm? I haven't lived here since I was like 10 though. So I'm in like this weird in between place between tourist and local.
Um it's very confusing for people cuz I speak Swedish, but like sometimes I don't understand what someone's saying or something or like sometimes like yesterday we ordering like a pizza and I was like how big is the pizza? And he's like it's normal sized. Like what do you mean it's normal sized? [laughter] >> I don't know what a normal pizza here is. And then I have to be like sorry I'm not from here. And then he's so confused cuz I speak Swedish. [laughter] So, >> anyone will be.
>> Yeah. So, honestly, it's he probably went home like I met the craziest person today. And I'm also like I don't know, my mind is not awake. I feel like I'm totally jetlagged. We actually landed yesterday.
But today, we're in the city. Most of the time when I'm in Sweden, I basically spend like almost the entire time just with my sister and her kids. And obviously, I'm not going to be filming like my sister's kids. That'd be crazy.
So, I don't really have anything to film. But today, we're meeting Sabi and Hannah. And we're gonna do a little thrifting and we're gonna get the what was it? Princess cake ice cream.
>> Oh.
>> So, let's go. So, we're here actually, but none of our friends are here. [laughter] So, we're just going to wait around.
Sorry. I just really love the buildings.
It's always so fun when you go to a different country and you get to experience like their specific kind of architecture. I do think the cars on the road kind of ruin it. There's not a lot of cars on the road, like parking on the road in Tokyo. I appreciate that. So Hannah messaged me. She said, "We are in the tea center of Stockholm." I said, "Are you describing it or is that the name?" And she's like, "That's the name." So now we are going to Oh my gosh, everyone looks at you so much in Europe. Okay. People don't really look at you like that in Japan. Am I just like Maybe I just don't notice. But yes, we're going to the tea center of Stockholm. Yas is like, "You're so out of it today." Honestly, yeah, I'm so out of it. I think it's the jet lag. I think I don't have like the energy.
But here we are guys. Still got to make the most of our day otherwise. Why didn't we come to Stockholm?
>> Shy like a melody in my hair that I can't keep up. Got me singing like na na na every day. It's like my replay. I don't even necessarily think it's that people stare here more like look here more. I think it's that like they smile at you or like they talk to you and that's nice them. They're being nice but I'm so used to Tokyo where like you just don't interact with strangers like at all. I'm just so used to it that anything else makes me uncomfortable.
You know, they always say like people in Stockholm are so cold or whatever. I'm sorry. They got nothing on Tokyo. And that's kind of what I like about Tokyo.
But you know what? It's nice. They're trying to be nice. I just like I'm trying to like, you know, adjust to it with the jet lag and all. Oh, we're here. Well, we found them >> in the tea shop.
>> In the tea shop. And apparently this is the origin of the site. I didn't know that. Do you guys want to give it a smell?
>> Smells pretty good, right? Yeah.
[laughter] >> You know, I do have some teas from this place. I think I recognize the packaging.
>> Look at these tea pots. Aren't they so cute?
>> Those are really cute.
>> That's so cute. Oh, it's a very cute shop. I'm a little bit tempted. I feel like I have too much tea, but this tea does smell pretty good. So, now I'm considering it.
>> Need to try tea. So, we place it in cold water and leave it in the fridge.
>> It's cold brew tea. It's called summer nights. And what did I have again?
>> It was like >> coconutberry, strawberry, coconut.
>> Raspberry, strawberry, coconut.
>> Yes. Oh, it's written there.
>> It's very refreshing cuz it's cold brew.
It has like no tannins. It's very smooth. Shall we? Shall we?
>> Shimmy shimmy. I'll >> just for you.
>> Oh, you're so kind. So, we actually did end up getting some sered here. We got one for ourselves and one for Jen because Jen is a nice tea appreciator such as ourselves. Look how cute. I actually almost regret not getting more for people, but I can't be bothered going back. [laughter] But it's so cute.
Hannah was like, "We lost to France last night." I like literally could not even like register what she was saying to me because I'm so not keeping up with the football. I thought you were saying like, "So we're out. We're not in anymore."
>> You heard it here first, folks. You heard it here 3 weeks late, folks.
[laughter] >> Hannah was like, "Look, it says in Swedish over there."
>> Doing it the whole day. I'm like not used to it.
>> You're like not registered.
>> I don't think we're here. Cuz it happens in Japan sometimes. Like it's random Swedish.
>> Sometimes there is.
>> I'm like, "Oh, it's Swedish." And then I'm like, "Wait, that wasn't even Swedish." It's like [laughter] that way.
>> Feel like we're both a little out of it today.
>> I'm definitely like so out of it.
>> Yeah, I was out of it before and was like, "Why are you so low today?" I'm like, "I don't know."
>> It has to be the jet lag. All right, guys. We're back here. Take two action.
So, I'm actually actively not going to be buying anything, but Yasu is trying to see is [laughter] trying to see if he can find something to buy. But for me, I feel like I have enough stuff, you know, this is so you >> I actually like it.
>> It's kind of cute. [laughter] >> But it's black. I wouldn't really wear it >> for Sophia.
>> Yeah. I was, you know, I was thinking exactly that that it would look good on Sophia. Seems like Billy found something. No, >> no, >> not at all.
>> Not going so great. Jeez, I wonder what that could be. All right, guys. Off to the next one. I do feel a little bit more cheerful as the sun comes up. It's a little bit cloudy, but I hope it's going to be a little bit sunnier >> as the day continues. This area really is so cute, though.
>> You know what, guys? I feel like I'm starting to wake up a bit. I think maybe I was just sleepy still. Maybe. I don't know. Okay, I don't know. I can't make any promises to you today. We have reached our next destination. Feels like there's a lot of stuff for Yasu in here.
>> Mameiva style green.
>> Yeah, it looks >> Let's head in.
>> You actually look good in those.
>> I feel like we've been here. Have we not been here? It >> feels like we've been here.
>> Yeah, maybe Assa and I have been here before.
>> I think we're walking.
>> Okay. Well, it feels like there's going to be stuff here for you.
>> I don't know if this is a chair or if it's a >> I feel like it's too risky. It is right.
It's terrisky.
>> Look at this little shirt. It's got seashell buttons. They're actually very cute.
>> I wonder what it's made of.
>> You should check the tag. Is there no tag? There's no tag.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, if you burn it, you can find out.
[laughter] >> They're in their element. Truly, this is the place for you.
>> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'll back up. [laughter] So, this feels exactly like something else in the way. I guess my sister was right. She recommended this place actually. She said we should go here cuz there'll be stuff for Yasu. Feel like we're going to be here for a while.
There's me guys. Remember me?
>> Yeah. Hi.
>> Wa >> wow.
>> Wa. Look who it is. My Vina Lally soldier.
>> Hello. I'm number one Vina Glazer.

Yeah. name actually. I was like, "Oh, I should have brought that cuz I saw you.
I don't know when you posted that."
>> I think you posted it yesterday.
>> Yeah, I had I had >> I just saw someone posting. I was like, "Oh, I should have brought that." That's so >> I know. I really wearing that shirt.

>> So, one of you would have to go have back in chain.
>> Yeah, obviously. [laughter] >> It's very inconvenient for our thrifting. is like calling. The music is >> Yeah, the music does feel like someone's phone's calling.
>> Oh, it is the music.
>> No, I think it is the music.
>> The music.
>> I think it's just the music. We're a little bit out of it today. I think it's the jet lag.
>> Don't worry.
