Join me on my epic quest to make something of myself in Japan.
What Happened To Me?
I've been off the youtube grid for a while. But I have a new channel that should explain somewhat why I disappeared. It's a little different but check it out and subscribe if you feel so inclined!

Ok, so this was taken a few weeks ago but it took me awhile to finish editing it. Welcome to the Nipponbashi Street Festa! There was some awesome cosplay on display, more than I could show here but I hope this gives you a small taste.

So now I'm a bona fide teacher living in Japan after arriving without a job or a permanent place to stay. It's a good feeling.
New apartment, new job, life is good.

I took this awhile ago but just didn't get around to editing and uploading it. It was really beautiful here and the weather was perfect. I don't mention it in the video but apparently a white snake god lives on this mountain and he likes eggs and sake (but of course) so there were lots of offerings of these. You also get to hear me speak a little Japanese. Please like, comment and subscribe if ...

My tongue piercing would close up after a full day. Hell, it starts to close after 20mins
Ive seen so many japanese with piercings nowadays
First 15 seconds wasted 😂
Can I bring two weeks doses of Alprazolam without permission??
What happens if someone is diagnosed with asthma and you can't bring inhalers ? I've heard that inhalers like vicks it's illegal in Japan.
It’s true, some inhalers contain drugs prohibited in Japan. Any form of amphetamine is illegal and I think Vicks contains levmetamfetamine.
What about connecting flights. For Example LAX Connecting. to Japan Then. Thailand.
Where do you need to present the yakkan shounei form? at the airport?
Just a heads up guys, Aussies get to extend their working holiday visa twice so a total of 18 months! There must be some sort of an agreement between Australia and Japan because we also let them stay longer than the usual period. Don't miss out on that extra 6 months just because you didn't know, it's a bit tricky to find as I didn't know until I went to our embassy in Japan.
What does the form look like?
Thanks so much for this video! Super helpful :D
Hey what was the processing time and did you work while your visa was processing? Contact me at isdjpn@hotmail.com ....this is a very big issue as many people have to wait until the last minute to renew based upon being hired by a new company.... waiting for your answer!
Hey just wondering. Will they give you a hard time for if you have ssri's for less than 30 days?
*update. you can email it all and have it done within 2 day. I just did it, they emailed me back with stamp to print out within one day
Do you have the email address? Thanks!
Did you need to show them a copy of your bank statements to prove you had the funds when you submitted your visa?
If I only want to bring two week's prescription for blood pressure and diabetes medication, is there a waiver? Thanks
1 month supply docent need anything but original prescription with you
cheers mate
thank you ! very helpful , specialy about the blank space in the form !!! thanks again
why did you stop making videos .-.
you sound so nervous
I don't know when this changed, but the customs office now allows applications sent via email. I'm curious how the inspection process went through.
yes, I just did it you can email
Very helpful. Cheers mate
Really helpful! Thanks for uploading this!
Thanks for the video dude, helped a lot. Hope you had a good working holiday.
Please do an update video :)
I'm studying abroad this summer and was a little confused to the Yakkan Shoumei process... thanks for the help!
those look tasty
how long did it take to process? Like from handing it in to then picking it up?
Tyler Antcliff yeah lol what's the answer to this question
So you have not provided ANY links to the forms. Given us the name of the form so we can google it ourself. Useless video dude.
google japanese working holiday visa
as someone with a almost full sleeve and planning of going to an onsen, this made me feel so much more at ease
where do you get the form from ?
What is the difference between a working holiday visa and a working visa in Japan? I am almost turning 30 and either have to go for the working holiday soon, or just do a work visa a little later.

good tip..will definitely give this a try
I didn't feel anything up here in Sendai, at least not enough to wake me up. Stay safe!
My friend in Kobe said the same thing, it felt like someone was shaking her awake. Glad I didn't get any vibes from it, but I think I'm too far away. I have yet to experience a Japanese earthquake...can't say it's something I'm really looking forward too xD
I think that's what freaked me out the most ! :p
Exactly same with me I thought someone was braking in and shaking my bed:$ freaky as hell to be woken up by it! Lol
Looks like fun! I liked all the costumes :D I wonder how long it took for them to make some of the more elaborate costumes xD I
when i turned my papers in, didn't have to wait long either. only about five minutes
I personally like videos even if they are about nothing/random. So, if you enjoy it, I say keep making them, even if it is about something random. I've enjoyed the videos so far and found them helpful :D
You've probably already come to your conclusion, but I have to say that the lip ring shouldn't be an issue if you can take it out and put it back in without a problem or any discomfort. So long as you're not wearing it at work, that should be acceptable. And once people get to know you, they'll understand better the superficial aspect. The tongue ring, however ... it doesn't impede your speech, and it isn't visible, so why bother taking it out to begin with? (^^)
Nice video dude. Thanks a lot :D Want to to catch the sakura falling. Thanks again. This was helpful.
cool thanks! another quickie, when u go to japan do you need to show them at the airport u have a open return ticket or is a one way ticket fine? thanks
hey great video mate! quick question when you got the visa approved what date can you start using it? could book a plane for next week or have to wait a month or so ? cheers
Can I ask who you ended up working for? Was it a big school?
Hi, great video. I'll be in nagoya the 1st week of march looking for work. I've just passed my celta in the UK so eager to find work. I was wondering what route you took for work? I'll just be emailing/ringing people all day everyday until i get an interview and get work...any help you can offer would be great, thanks
You rarely see them in people that are a bit older (west or otherwise), so really if you leave them in you are just postponing something you would inevitably do later in life anyway. Seems to be giving you some drama, so maybe its best just to let em go.
