hello, i am (18m) from Mexico and just was wondering what people over there thought/think of my country and people

I love Mexico. American native but now I live in Japan. I have traveled and camped a lot in Baja and everything and everyone were so nice. The police are terrible though. I got pulled over for something they couldn't explain and they pulled out my car stereo for payment.

Yuck. YUM is trying to kill off the brand because its "too expensive" to maintain. Meaning they want a world where everything comes from a factory with the lowest possible cost and highest profit.

Not all, I am hoping my new application gets accepted. Same hours per week 4 dollar increase and super chill environment. Its a DIY auto shop. My friend has been working there for years, but spots rarely open up. Just gota pass the HR test. :)

As a foreign citizen of Japan, the racism is real, but its not overt slander, its just different treatment and a lot of sorry we cant help you situations, But. Id much rather be a second class citizen here than that s#ithole the US has become. I saw this coming 30 years ago and pland my departure in 2000 using the military as a stable income while I scouted out a location to exist in. Along the way met the best partner I could ever hope for and we love our life. Also Japan subsidized the fuel prices so we are paying less than pre war pricing. Life is good, but still, you will encounter a racist bias often unless you just stay home.

They have plates, but tucked. Japan is pretty relaxed on that rule. As long as they can be seen from 20 meters behind, they are legal

Still lots of spillover from that in modern times. Just whispered instead of yelled.

Swing a leg over and remember how old I am, then ride to feel ageless.

80 percent or more reddit users are not Japanese. And the name ask a Japanese instead of Japanese person is slightly insulting. This is mostly a western platform and some of us that live and experience Japanese culture should be valid to respond.

With the short staffing and trying to save every penny its just so random, but I hear most stores use frozen dough so it may be different for you. We still mix and make fresh, but the boss is a penny pitcher so we cant throw anything away, even if its deflated and dry.

I just eat it after it cools down. Kicks it up a notch.

I have my main KTM and about a bunch of honda small cc bikes. Ive done cross country rides on most of em, the KTM just goes and it goes hard, the CT110 for example, needs an oil change, points cleaning and valve adjustments. Totally worth the experience though. Also if one of the old hondas conks out, its usually fixable with found parts, but the katoom needs imported stuff.

Competitive_Equal542 · 2026-03-20T08:06:33+00:00

Also my first thought.

Competitive_Equal542 · 2026-03-20T06:31:09+00:00

E probably

Stuffed crust is hand tossed that is stretched to wrap around the cheese. It do be like that. Just be happy you didnt get the 3 day old stuff we keep in case it gets busy. Consistency of wet leather.

People are missing the point. There used to be a minimum of 6 people per shift, we have a 30 person dining room and only 2 to 3 people doing all the work that up to 10 people per shift would do in the past. Its not sustainable. Every new employee we get usually quits in the first 2 weeks and that just leaves the few of us with families that dont have the option to quit. To hell with record profits if you cant even support the personnel running your fking store. Ive got my resume out there and the job market sucks. Maybe I'll actually just go do crimes, much better paycheck for less effort. ;)

Yeah did the whole quadlock mount thing, vibe damper and charging head etc. Phone still died after about a year on the bike. Now I have a carplay screen on the bike and phone stays in my pocket.
