Episode 3: Why All of Japan Stands on One Side of the Escalator (And We Know It's Ridiculous)

Ever wonder why Japanese people create imaginary express lanes on escalators? When you see everyone in Tokyo standing on the left side of an escalator, leaving the right completely empty, you're witnessing one of Japan's most bizarre unwritten rules. But here's the twist – it flips completely when you go to Osaka! And the really crazy part? Most of us know this whole system is inefficient and silly, but we keep doing it anyway to avoid confrontation. This isn't about tourist etiquette guides or transportation efficiency – it's about how Japanese society chooses harmony over logic, even when we have the data proving we're wrong. From invisible regional boundaries to the magical power of official signs that suddenly make it okay to break decades-old customs. Within 10 minutes, discover why we'd rather be inefficient than confrontational, and how a simple escalator reveals so much about Japanese social psychology. It's a perfect example of how "real Japan" often exists in these contradictory spaces between what makes sense and what we actually do. Have you noticed other weird unwritten rules in Japan or your own country? Let me know in the comments!

Episode 2: Yes, We Still Have Ninjas (Sort Of)

Do ninjas still exist in modern Japan? The answer might surprise you. When my 4-year-old daughter came home knowing ninja hand signs, I realized how deeply ninja culture is still woven into everyday Japanese life.This isn't about tourist attractions or historical reenactments - it's about how ninja culture quietly lives on in Japanese kindergartens, Halloween costumes, and childhood play. From origami shuriken lessons to business metaphors, I'll show you how something ancient has become a natural part of growing up in Japan. Within 10 minutes, discover the unexpected ways traditional culture survives in contemporary Japan. It's not what you'd expect, but that's exactly the point - real Japan exists in these surprising little details.What aspects of Japanese culture are you curious about? Let me know in the comments!

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
