Thanks for reminding us for the false sense of security in Japan
Meng was like “Pinky up!” but just flipped the bird. A Freudian finger slip 😂
Glasses look good on you, Meng!
Ever since a friend stole money from me at my house when I was younger, I've lost all trust in everyone. I stay on caution from the moment I leave the house until I return.
今までも表面化しなかっただけでちょこちょここういう細かい窃盗のような事はありましたよ 田舎ならまだしも日本の東京に安全神話に過剰な幻想を描きすぎても失望するだけです
Once I left a TV outside of the place I was living in. I came back inside to pick something else from the apartment. It was less than a minute and when I went back outside the TV was gone... it was in Adachi 😂
I’ve been going to Japan every year since I was 5 to visit my grandma. There’s been some noticeable demographic shift the last 10 years and it’s not pretty. I’m still moving Tokyo later this year on a Nikkei visa but I’m not liking this shift and hope Japan wakes up
When I lived in Japan I dropped my wallet. The person who found it stole the money and threw the wallet in a dumpster. Not that safe. Not that kind. Not that secure.
Last pride i left my luxury bag and LV sunglasses. Left it next to me and went to smoke with my friend. Came back to find all gone and the police found my passport a week later. Living in korea for a while and thought tokio was gonna be the same. Lesson learnt tho. 😂
Whoa it’s crazy how shinjuku nichome is starting to not be safe anymore, hopefully at some point shinjuku nichome becomes safe again. But as always what great video guys, keep up great content and can’t wait for the next video.
It pays to be cautious. I was cautious to the point of near paranoia in Europe! I have not been to Japan yet, but in Singapore (comparably safe, I believe) I was still careful. Not at all worried to tell the truth, but I kept my guard up. Thieves exist everywhere and they wil…
Japan's economy isnt the best so desperate times call for desperate measures.
Japan is really changing... When my mom went to Japan, she met with my aunt and they went to shop. When they got to many things, my aunt just said "let's leave the bags here for a while", it was in a corner of the mall. My mom just asked "Won't people take it?" Mom said that my a…
I stay vigilant everywhere regardless of where I am or how safe they say it is.
It’s so sad now seeing this happen in Japan and seeing the same western idealism explain it away instead of deal with the problem and empathise with the victims. It’s not right. Hopefully japans government won’t go down the western road
Well what do you expect! People kept advertising to the world that people just randomly leave valuables there so of course it’s only a matter of time that it’ll attract malicious people or syndicates to go there and start swiping them!
I wouldn't find it far fetched to think that this is coordinated between the gang and the bar/club staff. This happens a lot. Beware, It could be more than just property. The Youtubers Tobyshome were drugged and woke up in someones home naked. I think what happens is the bar staf…
I went to a snack bar (upon recommendation from this channel!) last year in ni-chome and I had a blast. But by the time it was 3 am, one of the guests took my phone whilst standing beside me off the counter. Being from London, I just saw it and took it outta his hand and cont…
Meng with those glasses ! WOOF wear them all the time!
Great video and the final tip is spot on... So many place in the world are super safe (Ex: Montreal where I am) BUT it doesn't mean that nothing will happen! People just need to have fun... but to stay safe. In life, it's all about being comfortable and think about it.... and th…
Good point, Meng. I've seen such signs all over Japan... and I was there 5-6 years ago and not just in Tokyo but as far south as Fukuoka. Japan is very safe but it has quite a bit of organized crime and random stints of violent crimes. People have to take care and be mindful.
If you find lost property in Japan, you can ask for a reward of 5% to 20%. I’ve found a wallet before so I know this. But I didn’t ask for a reward.
I think also if someone runs to the bathroom and leaves their bag or laptop. Anyone can just sit at the table and pack it up like it’s their own and no one would even notice anything off unless they saw the original owner sitting there.
I was shocked to see so many pickpocket warnings @ Dragon Men a few months ago. My first time seeing this in japan 😢
こんな事言うの、申し訳ないけど、先日は中国人二人が盗みで空港で逮捕されたよね。その二人は『日本は簡単に盗みができるから、何度も盗みのために日本に来てた』と白状した。日本人も盗みはするけどね。少ないよね
Hey guys... I eventually visited Japan last year, I stayed in Shinjuku and I loved Dragon men Nearly every night. My first day was an experience as I tried to pass through the gate for the Narita express I used the recipe ticket instead of the actual ticket.....easily done if yo…
Is it changing though? Or is it morphing? Canadian here. There is the stereotype that Canadians are polite, just like there is the stereotype that Japanese are honorable. There are polite Canadians, and some very rude Canadians and there are generally very Honourable Japanese, bu…
🟢 Hello from Bucharest, Romania - a big underrated city in Europe.
Manbiki culture used to be very prevalent amongst the elderly when I lived in Japan. It was a way for the elderly to get arrested, and spend time being taken care of in jail, also having somewhat of a social life instead of total loneliness and no being a burden on their family i…
Well people wanted racial diversity, multi-culturalism & less conservatism. Well ya got it! Now its more like the US! Congrats!
Are the robbers American??
Not in a gay context but I left my wallet behind in a convenience store in Pittsburgh when I was a teenager, and it was gone when I returned and the staff denied any knowledge of it. But I've left a briefcase or bag behind here in San Francisco multiple times and they've nearly a…
Thank you for the video it was very interesting and informative. In the US it's definitely a good idea to keep an eye on your stuff at all times and never trust it will be there. I'm not a drinker so Ive never been drunk but it must be terrible in clubs. I agree with you about ne…
Great video guys 🤩 Actually it seems Meng has a lot of interesting stories that he has been keeping secret (passed out 😯 fun in the alley 😛) Meng would you consider "Meng's book of secrets" ? 🤣🤣 Also...We may need to start a "Go Fund Me" for Andrew if he can't keep trac…
Still paying for that loss btw lol Boys it’s obvious the window is open, little bit of a distraction 😅
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. -- Margaret Thatcher
lol guys - no country allows people to take cash from a wallet they find -
About a month after I moved to Japan, I had to intervene when I saw a very well rehearsed pickpocket try and steal the contents of a commuter's bag on the Yamanote line. Born and raised from London, where your phone gets stolen out of your hand if you take it out in a shopping d…
I have also had my underwear stolen. I will not disclose where 😂
