オムライスのあのRの書き方はロケット団のRに見えるw
行列の時とかシンガポール人の方が我慢強いと感じてます。
個人的には冬が無くて年中暑いシンガポールの方がまだええな。寒いの苦手やし🤣
Hi Ghb,, hi Jeremy n Adeline,, はじめまして, when i moved from japan to Singapore, this taxi uncle said to me” singaporean went abroad,, n you coming to singapore”” 😂,, anyway i love singapore its like my home now, japan is like my home town too,, my brother in law is japanese Ghib, i will forward to him this vlog about Rakuten, he lived in australia , n was planning to go back to japan in march,
Ah great enjoyment to watch video.
Thank You for your beautiful video🌷❤️
Holiday in Japan: Yes
Work in Japan: No
Work in Japan, for a traditional Japanese company: Hell No
AHHAHAA yes bow until the lift door closes
Lovely video Ghib!
i love your videos! i thought about working in japan previously loving the food and onsens/sentous when i passed the N1 exam previously instead of back in singapore….
But now, i look back , the taxes are very nice(percentage wise) , the pension is a super gorgeous black hole with great pull like an indiana jones cave with an adventurous uncertain ending and the final trigger was the huge rollercoaster downspin of the currency markets where i tearfully bid sayonara to my dreams…🥲🥲
good deal
Hello Ghib! Tried using the code on rakuten site but it doesn’t work 😢
A wholesome video, may they be happy where ever they decide to stay. Singaporeans will always miss our food lol!
Was the last part scripted 😂 nice hair cut btw Ghib! And ya sia, now I wanna look up working at Rakuten Travel 😂
I used to be a vendor for several japanese companies here like Sumitomo, Shimano to name a few, I find Japanese companies have very high standards and very "process" style of working. I suggest anybody aspires to work in Japan to first try working for Japanese company here, if you like that "process style" then you will probably "be ok" with the working culture in Japan, I couldn't get used to it to be honest but everybody are different. Don't just look at the cute kawaii girls and think Japan is a great place to work.
Just remember another thing if you want to work for any number 1 company or best company or most admired company whether it's japanese korean us they all didn't get there by being average, they got there because the top guys are slave drivers and axe wielders who pushed everybody below really hard to get results to get good profit and that means long working hours so why you think some places they give "free meals" their fridges stocked to the gills with coca cola and m&m chocolate, they have ps4 billard table massage chair for free use? So you can bond in the office with your co-workers all the time and really have no excuse to leave office waste time commuting outside even for your meal breaks too but I digress.
This is so neat because I used to go to the same Japanese class as Jeremy back in Singapore a few years back! It's such a small world! Cool to see that he's living and working in Japan now! 🙂
This week's video is funny. The real Japanese is dressed like a SG in casual TShirt and spoke wah lao Singlish while the real SGreans did the exact reverse. You all exchanged roles/ nationality, is it….🤔😅?? Wooo la la, Rakuten office with all the whatever free food, snacks etc sounds like Google, Apple offices. For me, I am surprised bcoz didn't expect a japanese office to be like that. LoL. I only know Rakuten online shopping, wow didn't know there's travel booking. So now I know, thanks to this video. One thing I agree w Ghib san tho. I am like him, I don't like cold winters/ weather. So I still prefer SG weather. If I want something cold, I can always take the next flight out. LoL.
Big companies had a cafeteria fill with food n snacks n drinks is because they want you to work from dawn to dusk. For me small companies is the best
Adeline is so real and adorable
お近くにいらしてたんですね。楽天は、COVID-19のワクチン接種の職域接種枠を世田谷区と連携して区民に開放してました。大きな会社ですが地元との共生にも力を入れてる企業で、普段は表面しか見れませんが、この動画で秘密の内側が垣間見れて本当に興味深かったです。
Racism in japan is problematic. A third of foreigners living in japan have experienced derogatory remarks because of their background, and about 40% have suffered housing discrimination.
so interesting to hear them say that Singapore is flexible! Coming from a Canadian / North American background, it feels like SG is already very strict and rule-abiding 🙂
Jeremy's ほうれんそう joke was so underrated LOOOL thanks for the video!!
Henro Walk Shikoku and Shodoshima, big yes
Japan Camping, big yes
Autumn, big yes
Winter, working, paperworks, etc. No, no, no…..
Wow…wonder how do you get a chance to feature Singaporeans who have blended so well into the Japanese culture. If given the opportunity, I will definitely want to work in Japan, Japan was one of my top country that I have visited in all my travel experiences
Don't you know that when you asked anybody what they think of Singapore,
the answer will always be as follows:
F – food
U – uber-rich
C – cleanliness
K – kiasu
S – safetiness
😂😂 1:32 when your host says the magic word FREE food in the cafeteria,
I could see the happiness in your eye 😂😂
-Working along side with Japanese takes a lot of convincing before they agrees anything with you.
-Working FOR Japanese takes a lot of effort to earn their respect and trust.( I’m sure u know that from your previous stint)
-Holiday in Japan is the best la!
Especially our sing dollars is so strong..unbelievable stretching the dollars.
Great content again and to see your 2 hosts from fellow Singapore-lan succeeded in Japan is no easy feat for them.
Japenese think they are almighty people on earth..they chased me out before i even can enter a sashimi restaurant at Tsukiji…just because i am Chinese
Free food 🍲 😍
wait what did he say at 5:25????
I think it is hard to generalise Japanese vs Singaporean dates/husbands. But some characteristics from my experience, the 'Japanese man' is more considerate, less wasteful, reserved, never complains (at least not out loud), hard to read. The 'Singaporean man' is generous, outspoken (tend to speak their minds), gentlemanly, more outwardly affectionate.
Both have plus and minus points so it really depends on what you value more in a partner and your own character as well.
Japanese women vs Singaporean women as friends? Japanese women are more 'open minded', I mean we can go onsen together without feeling shy. But even with very close friends in Singapore, it is still awkward to suggest seeing each other naked.
So cool!
That Singaporean woman is more japanese because she kept covering her mouth just like japanese women.
Having such fancy cafe and snacks corner in a company (Lazada Razer Google vice versa) is there for the purposes of keeping the employee within the company to keep them filled from dawn to dusk or late into the night.
Having worked in both Sin and Japan, my Japanese husband still misses working in Singapore for the same reasons Jeremy and Adeline liked about Singapore 😂
I worked a few years in a Japanese company in Singapore before and because majority of the staff were Japanese expats, it was almost like working in Japan lol. As far as I could remember, Japanese companies place importance on two things at the workplace : Teamwork (no rambo please) and Office Harmony (no unnecessarily disputes, tension and quarrels).
