Nice videos. Maybe facilities for children anywhere are all the same, but the West does really have a lot of vast open space. Even as somebody who lives in a rural place most of my life, every single area must be dense somehow. If there's no house then there must be trees or farming plants that leave barely much space. News outlets love to doom-predict about decline of birthrates that would impact Asian economies - I for one cheer for it, given that it would solve a great deal of issues, and the harms of it aren't so much different from the typical things the cultures over here love to tell people to suck it up. Fecundity is a curse in this culture.

Parents going with children somewhere together to play would be a weird notion over here. Or maybe this is more family-specific than culture-specific. (Still, funny how my dad acted offended and called me nasty stuff when I wanted to be left alone with some of my hobbies, even though he was surely somebody who excluded me from stuff - still remember they fooled me some stuff when I was 5 or younger, knew at that very moment they were bluffing). Urgh... shouldn't vocalize these... but this is a trip down memory lane. It also reminds me of how when I was young I was brought to grandparents house and had to stay there doing virtually nothing for the entire day to several. Goodbye to all that, for good.
