Overpopulation in Japan

For every square mile in Japan, there are 872 people. Plus, a lot of Japan's land is unusable, the usable part of Japan is a measly 15 percent. The population is steadily decreasing. The birth rate per woman in Japan is 1.72, and it used to be 2.1 children per woman. By 2050, the population is expected to decrease by 15 percent. Would you like to live here?

Why does Tokyo's population keep growing? ( probably because they keep making babies ;) )The population in Tokyo is 13.491 million and it's only 0.06% of japan, that's prolly not even a half of japan and there's that many people, imagine every city in japan with that many people per city i'm not very good at math but i'm gonna say the number of people in japan is way more than we have in Michigan and that japan is overflowing really bad. They've probably low on food and have to cut their meals in half, they probably don't even get to eat chocolate or candy or anything like that.  Could you imagine not having candy or chocolate? Or having to cut down on what you eat so others can eat too? That would suck because i hate sharing my food. Would you want to try living in Tokyo just to see how it feels to be over flowed with people?

Japan's crowded wave pool

I think the wave pools in Japan are absolutely crazy. I would never ever want to try to swim in the Japan wave pools. My first reason is because it is way too crowded. My second reason is because you physically can not swim you would just sit in the pool smooshed up against everyone. I get very claustrophobic so if I were to swim in the wave pools in Japan I don’t think I could do it. As well as having to pay to swim but not having a good time at all, and getting lost from your family because there is too many people. I would not recommend going to Japan to swim in the wave pools because you would not have a fun time and it is a waste of your money. What are your thoughts on the wave pools in Japan?

Japan's Crowded Subway

My friend named Enrique and I where in Japan for vacation. We wanted to go eat ate a fancy sushi restaurant for dinner but we didn't have a car. Enrique and I had a long talk about whether to take a taxi cab or take the subway. I had voted on subway and Enrique didn't care, so we headed to the subway station. When we got to the subway station there were a lot of people coming home from work. We were waiting for a least 30 minutes when train number 99 came. Just as we were getting on I saw Enrique get showed into the train and then I felt a shove on me. There were so many people on the train I could barely breath and I felt like I was a sandwich. When we got out it felt so good to be free. Would you like going on the subway in Japan?

Big Crowd in little Japan

Think of a waterpark but you saw more people than water. This is how it was when I went to Japan with my friend. It all started when we went to Japan for vacation. We knew there were a lot of people there but we never experienced that many people condensed in one area. It was if the people were were packed in a sardine can. When we got to the waterpark amazed at how many people there were. We wondered how anyone could have enjoyed it. We decided to go to Tokyo and explore the city, and we ended up enjoying ourselves more than I think we would have at the waterpark. Would you have stayed at the waterpark or left?  

Life in Japan

Japan is one of the most busiest country I’ve ever stayed in. I don’t have car yet so I have to go in the trains. The trains are always jam-packed and never have space. When I say you have no space you have no personal space at all. Luckily the trains are starting to become more better. So that’s good because I don’t have to wait a long time to wait for the train and to go other places. If I do travel I love going to the capsule hotels. It is so simple and quick that I don’t really have to worry about anything. Japan is one of the most busiest countries in the world.

A Human Pool

If I were to go to the very crowded wave pool in Tokyo I wouldn’t even know that I was in a pool until I got in the water. It is so dangerous that if you get pushed under water it would probably take a very long time to get to the surface to breath. I don’t know who would want to go to this pool because it probably wouldn’t be any fun anyway. Also chances are it is not free to go to the pool you will most likely need to pay some just to have an unpleasant experience. Would you even want to visit this place.

Little country lots of people

In Tokyo there is about 8,336,599 million people living in this small place. Tokyo is only 845 miles that makes for one crowded city.  For the people in Tokyo this means crowded streets, crowded sub ways and that means it's hard to get to work. Ever been in a traffic jam well multiply that by ten but not just driving even on the train it's packed. That's not the only city in japan that's stuffed with people. Yokohama has the second biggest population in japan with a huge number of 3,574,443.  Japan has lots of cities that are heavily populated , But japan also is the second most populated country with a number of 127.3 million. What do you think it's like to live in Japan.

Space on a train? Never heard of it

    Monday morning at 8:00, I needed to ride the train to Tokyo to get to work, but before I go, I grab a coffee from a local cafe. I walk to the train station while the cold air blows my face like it's in the winter. I then needed to buy a ticket to train 22. After, the long line for the ticket which made me a little late, I finally find train 22,but... I realize that nobody else is coming, so I think to myself, OH NO! I must be one of the last few people to ride train 22, I was right. I kept trying to get into the train, but the people were like brick walls. A few men that worked at the train station noticed me and tried to help push me in. After what felt like forever, I finally came in and the door closed. I was finally in, but I couldn't move at all, I was like a piece of paper that was stuck to other pieces of paper around me with glue. I finally realized what I had done. The trip to Tokyo took 6 hours. I should've just called in sick.

Japan Is A Stampede!

I’ve seen videos of Japan and I’ve noticed that it is extremely crowded over there. Japan is a very interesting country. It has a lot of fame for robots, but there's a major flaw in Japan, its people. People are pretty much everywhere you look. It’s really crowded when people take vehicles such as buses, taxis, and trains. In a video, I saw guards pushing people into a full train. When I saw the people leave I feel like when they get off, it’s going to be a stampede of people! If you were in Japan, would you take a train?

Here's a video of the crowded train.

Japan The Crowd

So far the life in Japan is not easy.  Everything is a rush.  I had to stay in these very, very small hotel room.  It was too tight for comfort.  So I decided the next day to go relax at a nearby pool. But I had to take a train.  It was so crowded and right when the doors open  everyone pushed shoved and ran into the bus.  The workers had to push everyone in so the doors could close.  The worst experience of my life.   But there was a catch….let's just say it was jam packed.  Imagine the most popular pool in town.  Picture that 15 times more.  Even worse it is a wave pool.  So that means up and down, running into people constantly and people you don't even know that could have a disease or are sick. And you're right next to them shoulder to shoulder, body to body and even worse.  Anyone could be peeing in the pool right next to you.  So that just summed up having my trip horrible.  If you went to Japan do you think you could handle it?   

Crowded Japan

         Today at 6pm I flew to japan. It was a 13 hour flight but then we finally got there. It was 7:30 am when we had to get on a  train. IT WAS AWFUL! Policemen shoved me into the train with zero personal space! I finally got off,  thank god I was the first stop! Today I was going to go to one of Japan's best water parks called Sea Gaia Ocean dome resort. I thought it was going to be super fun but it was the crowded place I've ever been in. I tried going in the wave pool and I was almost as squished as I was on the train!This is by far the worst morning ever! For lunch I went to the popular restaurant, Hakushu. Now that was the best Japanese food I've ever had. I was going to go back to my hotel to chill for the rest of the day but it took me 4 HOURS! My hotel was only 10 blocks away! The streets were so crowded and there was so much traffic. This is by far the crowdest place I've ever been.

Japan Vlog

Jammed Japan!

How would you feel if you were at a train station, crowded with about 30,000 people plus? Probably not to good is my guess. It's true, train stations in Japan are very crowded throughout each and every minute of a day. People in Japan are used to the crowd, but newcomers aren't, with many complaints as to having super crowded train stations. A train station in Tokyo has 10 platforms and 20 tracks! That must mean at least about 15 trains at a time! Would you like being this crowded?

in japan all the space is tight there's barely any place to live in some of the districts in the city and country of japan.they have the  capsule hotels and the trains and the robots. For thee robots they had human looking ones and they had ones that were velociraptors. the velociraptors are the robots that work at the front counter and the  human looking ones you could just talk to and ask them questions. There is robots where you can ask where is the best place to eat or how close is the next hotel.there is a robot that will take your bags and it is the slowest robot ever.

Why do you live in a cube ?

3rd hour

              Japan is one of the largest cities in the world and that calls for a lot of hotels. But with so many people is means a lot of hotels. Capsule hotels help them, with only coasting 30 U.S dollars an hour. They can hold up to 700 people but nice ones down to 50 people. If I were staying in Japan I would definitely want to stay in a hotel like these. I would want to live there I mean with a TV, food, and probably more living there would be the life. But in one of the crowded cities it would be hard.
Capsule hotel is a weird word for it But if i were to stay in Japan iI would stay there.      

Japan

Cruising down the 6 in my six fo. Me and my friend Shoemaker nakisa are walking down the street and wanting to go and get Starbucks. We decided to take the #12 bus. We were the first people on the train. We both knew how hard it will be to get off of the train station. We observe the cops pushing and shoving people on the train. I can feel the cold blow of wind on my neck from the person behind me on the left and right both people have colds. It is our stop I have to push and shove to get off the train. I've decided because of how bad the trains are and how populated they are I am moving to America. Well, after I get Starbucks at least.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRBLnth4oSg

Part Of Populated Japan

What I think of a really populated area with barely no space is stupid.  First, I would hate having  to be in a train and you can’t even barely have any space to yourself.  The people would have to push you with all their force just to get you in the train.  Also, when you go swimming it seems like you are surfing on someone, and another person is right on top of you surfing on you.  Imagine that it is rush hour and it only takes about 10 minutes to go to some place but it will take you about an hour instead because, of so much traffic.  And what if you go in a line to go get some coffee but the line is huge and you have to wait forever and barely nobody has that much patience.  That is what I think about living in a populated area.

Japan, A disaster waiting to happen..

              Imagine a city where you go and it's so crowded that people are shoved onto trains and wave pools were all you see is people and no water. Sounds like a third world country, right, but it's not. It's Japan.  Japan is a little country, with even less usable land with a big population. The population of all of Japan is around 127.3 million people and Tokyo has around 8 million of that population, almost as big as New York City, but Tokyo is larger in mass(luckily) but in unluckier cities with less land is where you see the people being pushed onto trains for work and the capsule hotels and wave pools with no water because they can't live anywhere else in the country other than cities because much of it is mountains and isolated areas cut off from the world. So people risk the likelihood of getting mugged or belongings stolen to be connected to the ever growing country of Japan.

Get On The Train

In the morning when people go to get in the train they get shoved onto the train because there are so many people on the train. As they get pushed and shoved the passengers in the train are getting pushed tighter and tighter together it feels like they are in a trash compactor and it is compacting the trash but instead of trash it is people and the train is the compactor squashing and squashing them together. In the train it is a tangle of arms and legs when the people get pushed into the train people try to get some space but in a train it’s not possible instead of space they get someone's butt in their face. It is dangerous  to have that many people in a train especially if there were babies on the train they might suffocate and then they would be dead and dead babies are so sad and horrible.

Japan Trains.

         Have you ever been to Japan? Well I haven't either. You might not want to go on the trains. On the trains in the morning they make almost everyone fit in the train. There are some many people that you can't even see the doors. Then when you get out there are some many people on both sides of the train that you get tripped and might not even be able to get up. And also from that you could die if some many people get on top of you. Wouldn't that be scary? I would just want to have my own car. I think it will be more convenient because I wouldn't want to die at the train station and get shoved into a train cart. Would you ever want to get on a train in Japan?

Subways in Tokyo :P

Let's talk about Tokyo for a second, especially their subways. In the morning, people have to go to their work/ school, or anywhere else. They have to use a transportation to go to the places they want. People who are using the train have to wait a million of years to get there. After a while of waiting, the people will start pushing you, and the people that are getting out of the train will push you back and forth. It will feel really bad, but you will need to ride because you probably don’t have a car! So, would YOU like to visit Tokyo’s subways?

What it feels like to live in Japan

Imagine this. Overcrowded train. No seeing water in a water park. Overcrowded mart. Wouldn't that be a pain in the butt? Well that is Japan everyday. One time, my family went there and we found cool things but we went to a water park and saw too many people. But some things are really cool. Like couple times, the capsule hotel. It was quite comfortable and lots of room. The shower was good too. But the place is really crowded.

Train Experinces

Me and my friend Requis were waiting for the train to come. It was a very busy day, as always, and we were waiting to go to work. After waiting millions of hours, the train finally came. We were hoping that this time we don't break our backs trying to get in the train. When the doors opened, everyone were pushing and shoving each other trying to get in. Of course, we were in the back of the line, so we were the ones getting pushed by the people hired to do so. When they started pushing, it felt like bulls ramming you in the back. Once we were inside, there were a lot of things wrong. First of all, it was a thousand degrees in there,and I was lucky I didn't get barfed on. It also takes a billion years to get out once it stops. Just being in the train is a horrible time.

Crowded Death Murder Death

A crowded train. The rush of people. The cries of babies. The screech of trains. This is part of your every day commute to work. You watch as people in front of you are getting shoved into the train. You are lucky to be the first on the next train. You get on safely and ride it work.

JAPAN YAY

You might think that Japan is like every other country, but it's not. There are lots of robots running things, like hotels that are completely run by robots There are capsule hotels where you just have a bed that is enclosed in a small box, which is most likely not the best thing to do if you're claustrophobic.  And also it rains. A lot. So if you're one of those people who absolutely hates getting wet when you're walking around,  I wouldn't go to Japan.They have so many stupid and funny products like umbrellas that cover your whole body and fans that you strap onto your arm to avoid the hassle of blowing your soup or noodles so  that they don't burn your throat or tongue. What do you think life would be like in Japan?

If you and me are in Japan and we go to one of their wave pools we would hate it. With the amount of people it is crazy. The wave pool looks like waves of people going up and down. It would be awful you would wanna leave right when you got in the pool. It looks like the on a torch  lake sandbar on a popular day x10. It would be the worst water park you could possibly visit.

South Asian Foods

Most people would have written about the most gross food of South Asia. Although, they do have their down hills, like brains and eyes of animals. But they also have their uphills, like spices and soups and shrimp. South Asia consists of many types of foods, from seafood, to vegetables. Also, they sometimes mix it all up into one big delicious concoction like in the picture. Their food is so good that in America they make restaurants after it, like Asian Buffet. That's how I know that Asian food is delicious.      

gaming in India

In India gaming is very small compared to the U.S not that much game stores in India

We have about 4,500 gamestop's the game stop there are called games and there are 6 of them in India very big difference in how many there are. We make $20.5 billion in games India makes $583 million some stores have games but very small variety of games and small amount because it is not big in India. Invida (lXG) a gaming place with computers to play on usually have lots of gamer in the invida  

Indian Culture

India is a country in south Asia with cool traditions and delicious food. Some of India’s foods include chicken tikka. Chicken tikka is chunks of grilled chicken in a creamy tomato sauce. Another delicious food in India is butter chicken. It is chicken in a semi spicy curry sauce. A cool place to visit in India is the Taj Mahal. It is a mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river.  It was made in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, as a tomb for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. I would love to go to India and learn more about their culture and traditions. Would you?  

India Tennis

One of India's favorite activities to do is to play tennis. They have enjoyed playing the sport since the 1880's. India has counted tennis as one of the most popular sports, that most people in urban areas play. There is something called the All Indian Tennis Association, is what Indians play in. Tennis came to India by some British Officers introduced the game to them. One Indian person who is playing in the ATP tour is named Mahesh Bhupathi who plays mixed doubles and has mostly been a runner-up and has also won a couple grand slams. I think that more people in India will start playing tennis and become an even more popular sport. Do you think that tennis will be a popular sport in India?

Games in India

Have you ever heard of a game called Cricket before? It is not commonly found in countries that are America, China and Canada. Well it is the game people play in India to entertain themselves. I have never actually played the game before, but people say it's like baseball just played a little differently. All you need is a ball, something to hit a ball with and three sticks. India also plays popular board games in the U.S like chess and chutes and ladders. What other games do you think India plays that I did not just explain to you?

 

Humayun's Tomb

In India there is a tomb called the Humayun’s Tomb.  The reason this is so special is because it is the tomb of Mughal Emperor Humayun. His son ,Akbar, commissioned the tomb.  It was the first garden tomb ever in India.  It also has a very complex entrance for some reason.  It does not say why but the Building is very big.  The tomb represented a big leap in Mughal architecture.  Mughal also started the tradition of being buried after dead.  When you die do you want to have something like Mughal has? I know I would.

Trying New Things is Scary

There is all types of food in India. Some are good, and some are bad. A famous cuisine is the Indian-Style Salmon Fry. It’s canned salmon with grilled onions, and tomatoes. I can’t find any bad foods, but some foods have hazards that can harm or effect someone’s life. I personally prefer regular American food because I’m too scared to try new things from different countries. I always feared that I would get sick or get food poisoning. It’s never happened to me, but I fear that it will happen someday. Do you think that this will ever happen to you?

South Asian Heritages.

To some a simple question of “where are you from” can cause a great deal of problems to others. A lot of people think that when they answer your question they should say the country they live in presently and not their heritage. Asian families are typically more keen to have their children not do as much of the other cultures where they live now, instead they choose to make them use their Asian Heritage. For many Asian parents there goal as a parent is to make sure there kids are well educated and wed. Hindus have a calender based on the moon. So most of the celebrations are in the middle of months. Also a lot of people celebrate holidays differently from one place to another. Does your family have any heritage that affects your life.

South Asian Food

South asian food is always great. It doesn't matter what time you have it, if you eat the right thing, then it's good. Chinese people eat Chinese food, Korean people eat Korean food, and Japanese people eat Japanese. That's how it works. It's not the timing, it's what taste do you have. Usually it doesn't matter, but if you're picky than you shouldn't eat anything that's asian. But don't ever, EVER, eat something that is unhealthy in Asia. Lots of fat. In South Asia, there are scorpions people want you to eat. But what's really good? Curry. Everyone loves curry.

The Komodo Dragon

     Komodo Dragons can only be found in Indonesia, and can run up to 11 miles per hour. Some things the Komodo Dragon eats are: carrion, pigs, water buffalo, deer, smaller dragons and sometimes even humans! If an animal escapes the grip of a Komodo Dragon they won't have very long, a Komodo's saliva has at least 50 bacteria in it, so the animal usually dies of blood poisoning or the Komodo itself.                                 In one meal a Komodo can eat as much as 80% of its own body weight, talk about an appetizing meal. The Komodo's are being poached but thankfully are staying at a stable population size of 3,000 to 5,000 on the islands of Komodo, Gila Motang, Rinca and Flores. Komodo's are able to be 10 ft. long (3 meters) and can 300 to 350 lbs. A downside to being a Komodo Dragon is they are also vulnerable.

Food

In India there is food that's not like the kind we eat or have ever heard about. The food they eat is not always for just eating it can also be for regional use. One kind of food is Bihra is a baked flour cake. Goa is a soup with seafood in it has crab,mussels and other kind of food. Would you like to eat food like this. Or these indian food gujarat which has vegetables and dried food. The food they eat in India Is a lot different from the food that we eat here. Would you eat there food.
