This video was made by one of the Universities in Japan, Keio University, promoting foreign students to come and study in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Video summarizes many aspects of Japan in less then 2 and half minutes. It is amazing how packed this video is with Japanese culture. I have made a list of vocabularies below from the scenes in this video. Many of these scenes look familiar to someone who grew up in Japan like me, but it is interesting to see how each one of these cultural aspect is viewed by the foreigners around the world. This video does a great job on summarizing what it is like to live in Japan. Take a look!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Keio Global | Shaping History, Shaping Tomorrow\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qo45iMPqY4s?start=138&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here is the list of vocabularies.
