  • HII today I'm excited to tell you im like actually finally moving. This has been a long thought process for me and it's finally time to say bye to my apartment. My current apartment has served me so well and given me so many opportunities in weird ways. (it partially started my social media career ;-;) so it's bittersweet. I'm gonna make this process a series and im so excited to share with you all the next place is call home ^_^. MWAHHH

      It depends on your circumstances if you have: no bachelors degree, no locals to help you out (boyfriend/girlfriend), no savings, no skills that are valued, no language skills = it will be very tough.
      Japan is an amazing country and it has a lot of things that are missing from other countries (strong cohesive culture, safety, convenience, a reset to your life, etc) but at the same time there're plenty of things that are lacking as well: lack of community in larger cities (unless you join gaijin communities, bars/clubs or sports clubs you will have a hard time finding proper friends, especially if there's a language barrier), lack of job opportunities (unless you have JLPT N2 + bachelors you will be limited in your choice. Some foreign companies may still accept you, but it will be dicey), paper based culture (lots of documents, lots of signing, etc.. Hopefully it will change in the future, but that's what it is right now).

    Super helpful video. Love all the detail you go into. You hit upon a lot of things I might have missed. We are thinking about moving to Japan and initially staying with my mother in law, but i really would like a separate place at the very least for an office and sleeping space. And the mother in law has a washer, but no dryer, which is a pain. I tried talking to a local realtor, but he told me there are no apartments available in my mother in law's town, which is clearly incorrect since I see tons of ads. But i think he just didn't want to deal with a foreigner. My wife is Japanese so next time I will let her handle it and hope they don't ask about me.

Otherwise your videos may be interesting to the interested. Wishing you all the best and thinking of « respect » towards your listeners/subscribers whatever you wanna call us. Not likely that this culture where you live uses these cheap nasty words in their videos. Mature up buddy!

    You need to put a fan that blows out from the loft. That will take the heat out of that area and circulate it with the AC on the whole apartment will be cooler.
