      I want to say China’s early COVID lockdowns were impressive, but no country is flawless. It seems like the lockdowns now-at a time when there are vaccines-at a time when people know how to mask up and social distance-at a time when we can manage the virus if we’re smart and get on with the economy, are a policy ultimately hurting more people than helping. At this point many of the COVID variants are more infectious but much less lethal. I hope you, your friends, and your family are managing and that you all get enough food. The government is not always right-and this applies to every nation.

      Now he's gotta up the ante next time and go the full week. Seeing as he knows about how he can bring some PS2 games and what not and rent the game system and bring his own DVDs for the DVD player, he could have more to do to fill out the extended time of 1 week. Hell maybe he could even have Aki join him since he pointed out the room could fit 2 people.

    Also as a thought now that I've seen the entire video. Despite I feel Joey wouldn't be into it after doing this, I feel a 5 day Trash Taste Special could be interesting only because all 3 of them would have their own rooms, have 3 different views to watch, give challenges to one another each day they have to do, and they can spend time with one another or be more alone if they desire. Just see how more than just Joey would react as it would probably be better with the three of them in that length of time rather than just Joey going mad by himself. IDK just a thought

    2. Bring any bath items that you are particular about (i.e. loofah, specific shampoo/body wash/tooth paste)
    3. Ask the front desk for a spare blanket (one to sleep on top of and one to use as a normal blanket....the pleather gets hot)
    4. Do not sleep on the smoking floor, even if you do smoke
    5. Bring pajamas
    6. Pay in advance if you are drunk (not enjoyable to be woken up in order to pay your tab before you are allowed to stay any longer)

      There are communal areas! Like towards the end Joey shows some spaces you can hang out with friends but even in smaller ones that don’t have billiards and arcade rooms, there tend to be kind of lounge areas. But the thing is you usually rent a room anyway, people that are staying a long time don’t really come with people, and you can imagine most of the people who come are quite introverted - not a ton of people hoping to interact with strangers. Keep in mind Japan doesn’t have much of a small talk culture so things like that can be uncomfortable.

    Is there more luxurious rooms? Would love to see, and more 48hrs challenges. If you did one with Aki that would be super cool!

    I stayed for a week in Sakura Hotel in Ikebukuro in 2008, and they have sent me an email every year since wishing me a Happy New Year. No hotel/motel/hostel in North America or Europe has ever done that, though to be fair the places I stayed in Kyoto, and Hiroshima, didn't either. Makes me remember Ikebukuro though.
