Hmm
It's true in in like the east side of Japan we we walk
Through the right side. Mm-hmm in the west side which part of Japan is
Opposite opposite. Hmm. I wonder what it is in the middle
03:03
like I wonder if there's like a
Like a switching point. Yeah, like a
Like an area where switches ensure do you think so? I think so. Really I went to Nagoya several times
Yeah, it was like ah, if I remember correctly it was
Same as the east part
East so the art like Kansai
Kanto Kanto. Yeah, okay through the right side. Oh
So if you go a little bit further to the Okinawa side, yeah
There might be a spot where it yeah, like super suddenly flips. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Wow, but still I was living in Kyoto. Mm-hmm. He says that like the general rule in Kyoto is you
Step stop on the right side and walk through the left side. Mm-hmm, but there's some there are a
few people who
Like doesn't follow the rule. Yeah, uh-huh stand in the left side. Yeah, so
That happens. Mm-hmm. Yeah people are like
Forgotten that there. Yeah. Yeah, and a culture of the up. Maybe they're from like
East part of Japan. Yeah
How do you how do you think the people got a feel?
Well, I see that
They are all he is trying to be he is trying to pretend to be in Tokyo people
That's so mean
Well, like I think the um, I
Don't know but like the manufacturer people say that I don't know if it's the manufacturer people like in like generally
It's not you're not allowed to walk, right? Yeah, like
Actually, yeah actual rule says that yeah, you're not
at all supposed to walk on the elevator in every station every
supermarket every department they there's an announcement that
Please don't want that. Oh, I don't need any. Uh-huh. All right. No, right now, right?
So we actually don't supposed to walk so it doesn't matter if you stand on left or right. Yeah, everybody's supposed to just stay still
Yeah, right
well the thing about the the the
Escalator with the carts. Mm-hmm
We saw one in Costco, yeah, yeah
That was a pretty like whoa experience. Yeah, but in the US
So there isn't really much of in terms of Georgia or like Rome there isn't much of us to story building
Mm-hmm. So like there's never an occasion where we have to bring carts upstairs
But I saw one in Atlanta where there's like - it was like a two-story Walmart or something
06:01
I think the second floor was like the car
or vice versa I forgot but like um
We had cars that
The carts with the escalator and I don't think um
Because Rome doesn't have them. So like I can imagine people from Rome
Going to Atlanta be like, whoa, that's a really like nice. That's a cool escalator. They could put like carts on and then like yeah
Mm-hmm, but yeah, I think it's there more common than Japan. I feel like but I really yeah. Mm-hmm
This is huge. The cars are huge. Yeah. Yeah
Talk about this s did you do you say escalator?
Escalator. Yeah escalator. Okay. Well in France, I actually
Haven't seen escalator that much really
Yeah
The elevator. Yeah, you guys used the lift, right? You guys called lift
Yeah, but
Yeah, like in department we had those lifts, uh-huh
Like in school we had lifts
Uh-huh, but no like escalator escalators. Oh, maybe it's not part of the culture. Yeah
well, of course they they have
some of course in a country but
It's not that common like compared to Japan. We have so many escalators like like anywhere. Yeah
Station, yeah, apartment. Yeah everywhere, but
Yeah, I don't know why yeah
We take take place maybe
Maybe because it's like true it goes diagonal. Yeah, right. It needs space. Yeah, I
Don't know but lifts are you know, just more just right up and down right more slim. Mm-hmm
Yeah, maybe
I saw so many like old
like ancient
Lifts, you know those made by word Wow
Like yeah, there's a doorman
In front of the lift and he had to control it because it's not old
Old moving. Uh-huh
He just keep moving and the one he had to control it. You have to hire a man to just operate the elevator
Yeah
Right by that does it look kind of scary a little bit like if it's at night would you be frightened?
Yeah, yeah, like it sounds like a little bit. It's not like
stable stable, you know
Yeah, you're talking about like apartments or
Stores like that an apartment or like building. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
09:06
So do you in the United States so in France
I'm not sure which which way you stand in which way you walk through actually because I haven't seen that much escalator
But how about in the United States do you?
Stand or do you walk?
On which side? Okay, if I remember, yeah
There really isn't much of a rule I
Think you just stand wherever you want to stand. Yeah, I can yeah, I can imagine that
Yeah, because people don't need to walk people don't need to
On the escalator
Yeah, I don't I'm imagining the mall right now, right?
Yeah, I don't think there was a single file line of like
This is the side where you stand. This is the side where you walk
I think just families just take up the whole space just yeah
So I don't yeah, and if somebody had to like really be like on a rush move they just say excuse me
Can I get yeah?
Something like that. So yeah
well, yeah, like in Japan like when I was in Kyoto though, so many like tourists came from
Wherever yeah, and they
They like
Stand everywhere. Yeah
They don't have that. Yeah, they don't understand the culture of right and but
They seem like they learned those things. Uh-huh before they left their country. Uh-huh
You know, there's some times that people make line after them
Uh-huh, you know
Japanese people make line after them because they they are spreading
Ah, right, right, right, right, right, right. So those like people from abroad
Suddenly like oh, yeah, that's a rule
That's a rule and and they move to the left or right and
They were all surprised
It's true
Okay, okay. All right. Thanks for listening guys. Thank you. Bye. Bye
Bye bye.
