Blog 10: Abroad in Japan

One of my favorite things to do online is learn about other cultures.  I managed to find a channel on youtube to learn great things about Japan.  The channel is called Abroad in Japan and it’s about a man named Chris Broad and his adventures in exploring and experiencing Japan since his move there from the U.K.  His channel is amazing and covers so many things about Japan and its history.  He always gives an amazing backstory along with amazing shots of the places and people he talks about.  He always gives a large amount of respect to what he’s talking about.  His journey from moving to Japan is pretty great too.  He started by living in a rural area out in the country side where it’s quiet and pretty distant from the city.  He’s had videos sharing his experiences there and comparing it to time in the city.  He actually made a great friend who helped him ease in to the culture and break language barriers he had in the country side.  His name is Natsuki and he himself has become quite popular in Japan.  He’s actually made a whole video documentary on his frined Natsuki and how interesting and amazing he is.  

One of my absolute favorite videos from his channel that I feels represents a big part of asian culture is his video on the aftermath of the 2011 Tsunami and Earthquake on the people.  Through the video he talks about how the natural disaster has affected multiple businesses and people on a personal level due to the destruction and death the Tsunami brought.  To me it showed a great resilience and persistence these people hold.  I respected the Japanese people even more after seeing his video.  I knew that the destruction was large but never realized the extent.  He showcases some amazing stories on survivors and what certain people have done to help the people in the areas most affected.  I recommend you guys watch his video and everything.
