Elements from Japanese culture are in our lives right now: many people watch anime and Japanese TV series, they eat wok and sushi, and they listen to songs by Japanese singers. And even such a seemingly ordinary thing as karaoke actually originated in Japan. However, there are still some things that can only be seen in the Land of the Rising Sun. Really, Japan is a unique country, different from the rest of the world. Wanna have Pringles soup when in Japan? Here you go. In the mood for dinner with a huge plush Moomin in a Japanese cafe? Not a problem at all. Here are some cultural things can’t be seen anywhere but in Japan. Other videos you might like:

More 20 Things You Can Only See in Japan (Even If You Travel the Whole World) Videos

I was lying in some ditch, with rain pouring all over me and without any clue of how I ended up there. I couldn’t move, all my limbs felt… stiff, as if I’d lain in that place for days. My senses also failed me: everything around was blurry, and the sounds I heard were so faint I couldn’t make out any of them. And when I thought about that, it pierced me like a needle through the heart. I saw a flash of bright light, a screech, a sharp pang… and then blackness. I shuddered and strained my memory to try and remember how it all came to this. And slowly I started remembering my life before this miserable moment… Other videos you might like:

What my life with Adam was like 1:20
I needed answers, and I got them… 3:01
Did Adam just throw me away?! 😨 3:53
How my new life began 4:12 #touchingstories #movingstories #brightside SUMMARY:
– I saw that the ditch wasn’t too big, barely a couple of feet deep and maybe a foot and a half wide, but it was really long. – I shuddered and strained my memory to try and remember how it all came to this. And slowly I started remembering my life before this miserable moment.
– I used to have a friend, Adam. We were best buds, more like family, really! He always took me with him wherever he went, be it school, the local park, or the comic store down the road. – It was a gloomy day, overcast and pouring. Adam had a really big job that day: he had to take something to another town. It’d be a long road, and I couldn’t let my buddy go it alone! – I remember it all now. The flash of light — was the headlights of a car whose driver couldn’t see us in the curtain of rain hanging in the air. – I saw the driver that hit us leave the car and run to Adam’s side, phone in hand. Adam got up on his feet, swayed a bit, shot me a look full of pity, and left with the driver in his car. Then I blacked out…
– I can’t say how long I’d lain in that ditch, but one thing was certain: I’d been there long enough for Adam to come pick me up if he still wanted me.
– Eventually the rain stopped, and the sun came out from behind the clouds. It was already setting, and I watched it go down towards the horizon. But then I heard soft footsteps coming my way. – I felt a little anxious, but something deep down inside me knew that this stranger was rescuing me. – The young man went around me and came into my field of view. He started to clean me up and heal my wounds. Slowly but surely, I started to feel rejuvenated.
– It took him a few days to really get me all fixed up, but in the end, I was as good as new! – And that’s how my new life with Brian began. He takes me with him to work, and we go all around the town delivering letters and making small talk with the nice people. – I still think about my old buddy Adam from time to time, but I’ve found companionship in Brian. And I don’t hold any grudge for being left in that ditch — after all, we’d been in a serious accident, and he probably thought I was beyond repair.

More My Friend Abandoned Me But a Stranger Picked Me Up Videos

When it comes to flight attendants, most people assume their main role is a “waiter in the sky”. But they are capable of much more than bringing you a beverage and a snack. Would you believe they could even save your life? That is exactly what happened during a flight from Seattle to San Francisco. For one female flight attendant, she had no idea that this short flight would turn out to be unlike any she had ever had in her ten years of experience. At first, everything was routine, but as the plane took off she noticed a strange pair among her passengers – a young girl and a much older man who accompanied her… Other videos you might like:

Why the flight attendant thought the girl was in trouble 0:42
Genius solution 1:50
Were her suspicions confirmed? 2:28
Some other fascinating facts about flight attendants:
– They know survival skills 3:34
– They can deliver babies 4:08
– They can perform hand-to-hand combat 4:47
– They have to meet grooming standards 5:32
– They hate delays as much as you do 6:16
– Their crazy schedule takes a toll on their personal life 6:55
– They also suffer from jetlag 7:39 #planes #DangerousSituation #brightside SUMMARY:
– The flight attendant couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but she felt like something was off and she couldn’t seem to shake that feeling.
– The girl looked disheveled and was dressed in shabby clothes while the man was well-dressed and seemed wealthy. – She tried to engage them in conversation, but the man got defensive, telling her to leave them alone.
– The only solution that came to mind was to leave a note for the girl on the airplane’s toilet.
– At some point the flight attendant managed to catch the girl’s attention and mumbled the word “bathroom”.
– Her answer left the woman speechless. It said “I need help.” – When they finally reached San Francisco, the police boarded the plane right away and arrested the man. – The work of a flight attendant is more difficult and demanding than you might think.
– For example, if the plane is forced to make an emergency landing on some deserted island, you can rely on them for surviving in the wild! – They receive extensive medical training so it’s no problem for them to welcome a new life into the world mid-flight! – In order to ensure passenger safety, they must be ready to deal with disruptive or unruly passengers or know how to act during hijacking situations. – Ever wonder why the cabin crew always look so perfect? Well, that’s because they have to follow strict guidelines regarding their appearance. – Next time your flight gets delayed and you get upset about wasting your time at the airport, think about the fact that flight attendants don’t get paid until the plane’s cabin door is closed.
– For a flight attendant, it’s difficult to plan anything beforehand like a getaway with friends, family gatherings, even a romantic picnic with their partner.
– If you think that your international flight disrupts your sleep cycle, then imagine what zigzagging across the globe nearly every day can do! Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Flight Attendant Saved the Girl After Seeing the Note “Help Me” Videos

Imagine a town in the desert, where sand dunes live in the houses instead of citizens. Each year the sand takes over more and more of the town. The history of this place is dramatic, mysterious, and looks more like a legend than a historical fact. Kolmanskop is an abandoned town in the south of Namibia. It used to be a rich and prosperous town of diamond miners. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was the richest town in what was called German South-Western Africa. 10% of the world’s diamond mining was concentrated there. But 60 years ago, the citizens left Kolmanskop, and it fell into ruin. Other videos you might like:

A diamond fever 1:37 💎
Kolmanskop becomes one of the richest towns 3:12
Why everything changed… 5:26
The ghost town turns out into a museum 8:05
What happened to the man who started it all 9:11 #diamond #africa #brighside SUMMARY:
– The real story of Kolmanskop started in 1908, when a railroad worker, Zakharias Lewala, found an unusual stone in the sand not far from the railroad.
– Soon after, the African desert all of a sudden became a sought-after place for living and working. A diamond fever began. – Kolmanskop very quickly became one of the richest Namibian towns. The newly born capital of diamond fever was built in German style with German solidity.
– Kolmanskop had its own label of soda, lemonade and sausages. Even roses and eucalypt trees grew in the city in the desert. – Kolmanskop citizens were so rich that they could afford inviting opera singers and theater companies from Europe.
– In the first 6 years of its existence, about 5 million carats of diamonds were discovered, which is about a ton of stones. – In 1936, after the Great depression, they started developing mines on the Orange River. Kolmanskop citizens began moving to different places, and a couple of years later, the administration moved away too. – In 1956, the Kolmanskop hospital was closed, and the last citizens left the formerly prosperous town forever. – In 1980 “De Beers” made the ghost town into a museum.
– The current locals of Kolmanskop are the staff of the museum, bugs, and vipers. It’s hardly possible to imagine this town in its hay day.
– August Stauch invested his fortune from the diamonds in different projects, both in Germany and Africa. But the Great Depression didn’t spare him, and he lost most of his money. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More An Empty City Lost Under the Sand in Namibia Videos

There are 2 words people tend to confuse with each other: meteors and meteoroids. Meteors are essentially streaks of light made by burning debris from comets. To put it more romantically, meteors are “shooting stars”! Meteoroids are space rocks before they enter the earth’s atmosphere and lose the –oid part of their name. These things are fragments of comets. Just like Earth and other planets, comets move around the Sun. And when they come near it, the Sun boils away some of their icy surfaces, and dust and rock break away. And – meteoroids are born. There’s plenty of this stuff floating out in space and circling the Sun. But occasionally, our planet comes across a trail of debris when our orbits cross paths… Other videos you might like:

The most famous meteor shower 5:50
The longest meteor shower 6:32
Where’s the best place to go and see one? 7:31 #meteors #stars #brightside SUMMARY:
– When the debris hits our planet’s atmosphere, it’s going about 30,000 mph! And you know what high speeds usually mean? More friction, which produces heat. Therefore, most of them burn up harmlessly since temperatures reach 3,000°F as they’re falling toward the surface! – As for most meteors, you can see them from about 60 miles. It might feel like that’s too close for comfort, but the atmospheric layer is 5 times thicker than that.
– The more meteoroids the Earth bumps into, the longer the spectacle will last. Most of them are small, so they burn up and never make it to the surface. – Meteor showers normally last a few weeks. They’re named after the nearest constellations or bright stars they appear next to with an “id” or “ids” ending. – You always have higher chances of witnessing a meteor show if you check the dates of upcoming showers. Some of them happen at around the same time every year, so astronomers and enthusiasts look forward to these dates. – Probably the most famous meteor shower, the Perseids, normally starts in mid-July and lasts until August 14. It peaks on its final five days. – The longest meteor shower in history was recorded in November 1833. It happened just east of the Rocky Mountains. The Earth was sprayed with 240,000 shooting stars of different sizes for 9 hours straight!
– If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, that increases your chances of getting a better view. The best time of day is right before dawn. – You can just lie down in your backyard, but it might not be the best idea unless you live in the countryside.
– Unlike what you see in well-edited professional videos, there’s no guarantee you’ll see tons of shooting stars one after another.
– Don’t overstrain your eyes and nerves staring at the sky for too long. Make sure to take a break every 30 minutes or so. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

There are many things that we think are the same, but they’re actually 2 different things. For example, when someone says, “I’m going to America,” they probably mean the US.

So, yeah, there're words that make thousands of people confused and annoyed. And no wonder! Sometimes, just one vowel can entirely change the meaning of the whole word.

– Emojis are real pictures. And emoticons are faces you create by typing different characters on your keyboard. – Solid and brittle, silicon is a chemical element with a pretty blue-grey metallic shine. And silicone is a substance where silicon atoms are mixed with oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and whatnot. – The pill is a more general term for medicines presented in small rounded shapes. As for the tablet, it's powdered herbs or chemicals that are pressed together to create a flat, solid shape. – Jealousy is when you have an ice-cream and are afraid that someone will take it from you. As for envy, you feel it when another person is enjoying their ice-cream on a hot day, but there's no cold treat for you! – Stalagmites grow upward from the floor of a cave. And stalactites grow downward from the ceiling of a cave. – Look at the sweet stuff in front of you. Can you see pieces of fruit and berries inside? Then it's jam. Jelly only contains juice, and it's also more translucent. – A macaron is a kind of cookie made from egg whites, sugar, and almond powder. And macaroons come from Italy. They’re small cookies made from ground almonds, coconuts, and other nuts.
– Great Britain is one island. But the United Kingdom also includes the north-eastern part of Ireland, as well as numerous small islands. – Huskies are pooches from Siberia, where they were specifically bred to be fast. They’re sleek, kind, and hardworking, and often have two different colored eyes. As for malamutes, they're Alaskan dogs, just as lovely as huskies, but a bit slower and more massive.
– Alligators' snouts are wider and have an apparent U-shape, and crocodiles' front part is V-shaped and pointed.
– Crows are smaller, with thinner and longer beaks. As for ravens, they’re way larger than crows, with longer tails and thicker bills. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More 42 Things That Are Always Confused for One Another Videos

While most of us will probably never get a chance to meet the Queen, it couldn’t hurt to brush up on your court etiquette, just in case. No one wants to wind up being thrown out of Her Majesty’s dinner party, so you should remember the rules if you want to avoid making a royal fool of yourself. By the way, let’s just assume right here that burping or some other release of gas is forbidden, so we’ll stick to the main ones. Did you know, for example, that using French words is considered impolite when speaking with the Queen, or any member of the royal family? Of course, breaking the rules of etiquette probably won’t get you thrown into the Tower of London in chains, or even out on the street, you should be on your best behavior if you want your royal rendezvous to go smoothly.

Speaking Out of Turn 5:01
Asking Personal Questions 6:06
Addressing Royalty by Name 6:57
Using French Words 8:32 #queen #royalfamily #brightside SUMMARY:
– You might think you look good in your tee shirt and jean shorts, and it might even be true, but that kind of outfit would get you thrown out of even the least formal royal gathering. – Everybody likes presents, and the Queen is no exception. The practice of presenting the Monarch with a gift is a tradition going back centuries, and respecting it is a great way to get on Her Majesty’s good side.
– Have you ever wanted just to run up and give somebody a hug? Most of the time there’s no harm done, but when it comes to royalty, you’re better off keeping your hands to yourself. – The correct way to greet Her Majesty is with a formal bow or curtsy. Don’t worry, no one’s expecting you to hurl yourself at the floor. Men are expected to bow from the shoulders, just lowering their heads out of respect. – It’s very improper to get up and leave without permission, or to arrive late. But quite frankly, that’s just good ‘ol fashioned manners. – Before speaking to the Queen, it’s important to take note of where exactly you’ve been seated. As a rule, the guest of honor will be seated directly to the Queen’s right, and it’s customary for Her Majesty to address them first. In general, it’s considered good form to let the Queen begin the conversation anyway. – You might be super curious to hear the truth about some royal family drama, but the Queen is definitely the wrong person to be hassling with personal questions. – While there have been some instances of fellow monarchs addressing one another on a first-name basis, unless you’re King Harold of Norway, you shouldn’t even think about addressing The Queen by her name. – Another thing that’s important to remember is that when speaking with the Queen, or any member of the royal family for that matter, it’s considered impolite to use French words.

When you think of crystal clear waters, the pictures that normally come to mind are of the Maldives, some Caribbean or Mediterranean islands with endless beaches. Now these other places can, indeed, boast super clean waters, but there are less expected locations where you can see through the water down to the bottom. Have you ever visited Crater Lake National Park in Oregon? It was formed 7,700 years ago when the volcano, Mount Mazama, collapsed. It’s the deepest lake in the United States and it's spotlessly blue. By the way, there’s a fun sight inside the lake – the so-called “Old Man of the Lake” that’s a vertically floating hemlock, first recorded in 1896. Other videos you might like:

– On a sunny day, the sea green waters of Melissani Lake are filled with dazzling light. It used to be completely underground, but thanks to an earthquake, it was opened up and is now 60 feet below the surface of the ground.
– Crater Lake is the true gem of Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. It was formed 7,700 years ago when the volcano, Mount Mazama, collapsed. It’s the deepest lake in the United States.
– Montana’s Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the western part of the country. It’s home to many types of fish: yellow perch, trout, whitefish, sturgeon, and what not. – Now you’ve seen crystal clear lakes, but can you imagine a multi-colored one? It’s real, and it’s located in the Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve that’s part of the Minshan mountain range in China. – Another mountain lake, it’s at its deepest in the summer time, reaching 39 ft because it feeds from snowmelt. Grüner See used to be popular with divers, and – Peyto Lake is a must see for tourists hiking in Banff National Park, in the Rocky Mountains. When you look at it from above, it seems unnatural because of its bright, somewhat neon turquoise color.
– Unlike most rivers you know, Blue River doesn’t have a permanent streambed – it looks different and new every year. With global warming, the melting has become more active in the past years. – Lake Baikal is the deepest and oldest lake in the world, with 20% of all fresh water on the planet and 25 million years of age. The water here is so clean and clear, you can see to a depth of 130 ft inside the lake. – It’s basically impossible to tell the sky from the ground when you’re looking at Lake Mashū on Japan’s Hokkaido Island. When its transparency was measured in 1931, it even beat Lake Baikal, with a result of 136 feet.
– Lake McKenzie is situated on Fraser Island in Queensland, the largest sand island in the world. McKenzie is a perched lake filled with fresh rainwater that’s 320 feet above the ground. – Hoh Rainforest is one of the Seven Wonders of Washington State. It’s located on the Olympic Peninsula and follows the Hoh River. The river flows out of a glacier on Mount Olympus. – Maranhenses means “bedsheets” in Portuguese, and the place does look covered with smooth white bed sheets of sand. During the rainy season, mainly between January and June, the dunes get filled up with clear water and turn into a fantastic pattern of beautiful lagoons that are perfect for swimming. – New Zealand’s Nelson Lakes National Park is home to the clearest lake in the world. The Māori believe this place to be sacred, and no one is allowed to swim in it or even enter it.
