    Here comes a suggestion that works very well: Get a hallway bench with a big drawer underneath. Put paper bags in it to organize the garbage. It hides everything and you have a bench to sit on. You can put it in the balcony or kitchen. By now you probably have a spoon for the laundry powder. 😅

    I think it's very wise to set your place up slowly, so you can get a better idea what you want versus what you don't want.

    Having slept in a ryokan hotel before, futons are surprisingly comfortable. What’s amazing is they can be folded up and stored in a cupboard during the day and hence makes space for your living areas.

      This is actually a lesson I had to learn. Like for example with food. I used to order all kinds of extras all the time and then be sad it tastes bad. Now when I order something I go for the basic stuff and its always better (for example just ice cream without any kind of toppings, or just pasta and tomato sauce, without any super crazy ingredients.) Don't know if you can relate haha. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed. What kind of videos would you like to see on this channel?

    This was hilarious. I love the garbage pile.
    Well done on being very practical. I see so many people fill their space up with junk decorations and then have to get rid of it all in a few months. You are so sensible.
    I am much older and have never traveled. My house (my second) has lots of things in which family members didn’t need and I didn’t have. It was hard to say no. It’s accumulated over the years. I don’t really want any of it but it’s hard to make the decision to get rid of it in case I need it in the future and because of the sentimental attachment. But really I just want it all gone so my place isn’t all full up. I keep trying to shove it all in a couple of rooms I don’t use so that the rest of the place is more sensible and easier to look after. Don’t get in this trap!

    Yes that is an emergency escape. If there is a fire in the building. You need to kick that down to get to the balcony where you can either climb or slide down. Depending on the setup with your building. The owner of the YT channel A Micro Apartment Life showed what is needed to do in a couple of his videos. Usai has alot of videos showing micro and mini apartments.

    Dude, it took me like 5 seconds to use google translate to figure out what that text is on the panel in your balcony. You were correct, it's an emergency exit. Here is what it says.
    "In case of emergency, you can break this and escape to the next door. Do not place any objects in this area. There are evacuation equipment ahead."
    Might be a good idea to hang your laundry elsewhere!

    For future content to produce... well, only you can answer that, but I will mention that I went off Abroad in Japan a bit because his stuff became unrelatable. While he was doing basic stuff it was fascinating, but when he started going on rich yachts and hitting the fancy tourist spots it got a bit boring.
    Tokyo Lens does amazing content, check him out if you havn't already.
    Talking of which, he's done a couple videos about digging around the 'Hard Off' range of shops, which are basically second-hand stuff. Might be able to get cost-effective things in them, with some digging?

    • @bernoGarcia
      @bernoGarcia  4 місяці тому +1

      Thanks so much for the advice. I totally feel this. I think Abroad in Japan is a great and entertaining channel but it has become a bit too "sensational" for me. (Which is very good when you are new to Japan and know nothing). I might try a few "sensational" videos here and there, but this wouldn't add much value in my opinion because there are already great creators doing that. I want to add a different side to the "Japan content" field.
      Tokyo lens I have only checked out a few videos so far but I'll dig more into that for inspiration. About the "hard off" idea, I actually visited a "second hand shop" to get a chair for my desk. Video is in the editing and will come soon.

      Hey danke für dein Kommentar. Voll geil dass du nach Japan gehst. Welche Städte genau. Wenn du sowieso nach Japan ziehen willst und auch studieren möchtest, empfehle ich dir entweder dein ganzen Studium in Japan zu machen oder zumindest ein Auslandssemester an einer Japanischen Uni. Da gibt es viele Möglichkeiten und auch Stipendien. Grüße

    Dam that is a very small place to live in. My flat UK South is 2 times bigger and I still find my place to being to small. Guess I should learn how to live in a minimal way like you and most of the Japanese do. Wish I did not buy so much crap for my flat, but now I have all of it, I just can't seem to get rid of any of it. No I am not a junk collector, my floor space is open in all areas, its the furnishings and books (3000+ books) and 800+ DVD's that takes up most of the space.
    Well done in starting this channel and look forward to seeing how you recycle your stuff in Japan, as here, recycling is not that good at all, most people do not care about recycling at all, which makes sense as loads of plastics with the no.2 or 3 on them can not yet be fully recycled in the UK.

Ich bin momentan in einer Japanischen Sprachschule in Japan. Habe also ein Studentenvisum für 1 Jahr. Mein Ziel ist es die Sprache so gut es geht zu erlernen. Ob ich nach dem Jahr mein Visum verlängere und die Schule ein weiteres Jahr besuche oder was anderes in Japan mache, oder nach Deutschland zurückkehre steht noch in den Sternen. :)

    WOW! Only $400! How did you get the electricity turned on? We lived in Osaka and had a smaller old Japanese 1 room apartment with a Japanese squat toilet separate!!! SO you are very MODERN MAN! Lucky! Nihon go musakashi??? I failed to learn the language...but I married a Japanese woman Matsuko who was eager to learn/improve her English.
    Oooh, one big mistake! When you move into a Japanese apratment you buy little bottles of dish soap or something similar and go door to door and introduce yourself and get to know who your neighbors are!!!
    ANOTHER VIP THING: thatwall with all the Kanji on it is the door/cover to a ladder for you to be able to escape in an emergency--Matsuko told me that!!! SO...move your rack to dry clothing to somewhere else! ALSO ask someone to tell you HOW to open it!
    I have never been to Fukoka--what is it like? Large advanced city? PLZ MAKE COMPARISONS TO GERMANY!
    Maybe that $400 rent is special for students?
    Are you hoping to become a movie director...or film editor?

      @@bernoGarcia eine Sache nur noch bist du in Deutschland aufgewachsen? Ein Austausch von Kulturen kann nur zwischen den bestehenden und nicht übergreifend vollzogen werden. Ich weis du hast auch andere Wurzeln das reinfliesen zu lassen wäre echt spannend aber das hattest du glaub ich nicht erwähnt. Z.B. in Ecuador wird hauptsächlich spanisch gesprochen neben vielen anderen sprachen natürlich aber spanisch sprechende Länder wenn du einen Austausch möchtest sind so wie ich das mitbekommen habe weniger an Japan interessiert. Gilt natürlich nicht für alle aber im groben u Spanish ist auf der Weltsprachenliste auf nr. 4. ich denke das ist leider nicht ganz aufrichtig von dir u eher eine Art Ausrede. Ich weiß du wolltest vorhin höflich sein aber ich ziehe Offenheit und Ehrlichkeit vor. Deutschen wurde jahrelang eingeredet da wir den usa alles nachgemacht haben der Westen ist super usw. Die Wahrheit ist viele haben die Schnauze voll von Wörtern die einfach übernommen wurden u deutschen yt die einen auf inetrnational machen. Wenn du einen echten Kulturaustausch machen willst nimm dich als in Deutschland aufgewachsenen mit dieser Kultur verinnerlichten u steh dazu. Deine andere kulturelle Identität musst du aber auch benennen u somit auch die Unterschiede zu z.B. Ecuador. Paolo from Tokyo ist Brasilianer da macht das Sinn. Wenn du aber nicht erwähnst von den von dir angesprochenen Nationen und warum du es so siehst wird das keiner verstehen.
