When in Japan… an interview with JapanItUp

On February 17, 2008 in Interviews

Hi All. We’re back for our last romp with Steve from JapanItUp.com. If you are just joining us here is yesterday’s post. Today Steve is going to point us to a few of his favourite posts. And he has some Japan advice for us too.

DailyJ: Which are your favorite posts so far and why?

Steve: My favorite post is “Going to the Doctor” because it was a very affordable and different experience than seeing a doctor in the U.S. My other favorite post has to be the video of Yoshio Kojima. No matter how many times I see the video I can’t stop laughing. Japanese TV is awesome! I have no idea what they’re talking about but I’ve been more entertained by TV then I have been in years!

DailyJ: I really like your post and videos about Japanese capsule hotels. Are you planning to do any more videos like
these in the future?

Steve: I found the capsule website while looking up info about Japan and I’ve heard about them so I did some research and created a post. Those are videos from youtube users (not created by me). However I do hope to upload my own videos soon.

DailyJ: I noticed from your categories that you focus a lot of everyday living in Japan. If you had to give one piece of
advice to someone looking to live in Japan, what would it be?

Steve: While in Japan, think like a Japanese person. I haven’t spoken about this yet, but this is by far the best advice. When you’re in a new part of the world you should learn to adapt to your surroundings. Life will become easier for you. And remember, you can still be wild and crazy without disrespecting anybody or acting like a fool.

Sounds like good advice to me, but I thought it only applied to Rome

Thanks, Steve, for the interview! And thank you all for reading. Now go forth and JapanItUp!

And… Have a great day!
