How do you pay your tithe in Japan? Do you attend a Japanese church or do you just send it to your Nigerian church's bank account?

Looks like you had a happy Xmas!! Just a quick tip: never again mention on social media that you called in sick when you weren't in Japan. You could get fired for it. They take it too seriously...really. Enjoy the end of the year! 🥳

Hi , preye ..I love your hair. I’m in Tokyo Japan. We could hang out sometime. I’m Nigerian too

you look so pretty with the new hairr

You're so pretty 🤩

Merry Christmas! Your hair looks really pretty btw

It was like , girl you going that way too?😂but you rebuked the confidence out of it 😂...but seriously that was terrifying but interesting 🤣

Congratulations ❤🎉 I will be joining you people soon by God's grace. I can see my sis Amaka❤

Congratulations on winning!! That's so cool, I hope the plane ticket is also included lol🙏 For free Japanese resources, idk if you've tried Marugoto's online courses? They're self paced

There DO have natto sushi 🤣Maybe next time! Have fun at your Japanese language classes!

I think you should give yourself grace Just six months? Please give yourself grace and sometime

See the temperature in Japan this year eh na madness, I am so scared for going back to Japan for few days coz now am living in the country that can't be less than 20 for the lowest point now at midnight its still 27 lol I don't even have good jacket and my friends and my mom are telling me already its around 5 degrees in Japan there chai

joining you on the channel

Glad to hear some of the tips worked 😊One more for you: I would not recommend using a plastic mug and cover to warm up tea or drink hot tea from. You'll be ingesting a lot of microplastics... They also have ceramic mugs with lids at the 100 store, I think. You're right about growing your own food. If you have space on your veranda or around the house/ apartment, definitely a good idea. Make sure they allow it, though. Those small pots you got could be great for growing herbs like rosemary, parsley, mint, etc. You can find seedlings at almost any home depot and grow them inside your room or kitchen. I live in a rural area where many people grow at least some things in their garden. I do too. What I love about that is that your neighbors will start bringing over veggies and fruit when they have too much of something. Then you do the same if you can. Stay warm! 👋

Heat tech saved me when I was in Japan around Thanksgiving. I'm an island girl so I was shivering my butt off over there. 😂

I love your Sunday vlogs

Nice video. Did you move houses?

Yaaaaaayyy.....now my sunday is complete....❤❤

Finally, a video to make my Sunday more chill 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

I really do not understand this, please can you brrak your salary down? You stay in a shared apartment, you dont pay taxes but your salary is still not enough and you dont have savings, how? Please break down cos im about making this journey

🤣I haven't experienced any of the things you mentioned, but have heard about several of them. For instance, similar to your last point, I drive here and was told that for whatever reason, if you hit the car before you, you are 100% to blame. Even if that car suddenly brakes after going 50 kph. So there used to be these gangs that did just that. Brake suddenly in front of you, make you hit them and then ask for huge amounts of money for repairs and other damages...I don't know if that still happens, but I'm still scared it might. My first culture shock in Japan was the buses. First, because you don't need to buy a ticket in advance and validate it, which means there are no random controls and huge penalties if you didn't manage to buy a ticket before getting on. And also because the bus drivers speak too much, I thought. Now they have recorded messages, but if you get on local buses, the drivers still say things like 'Turning left! Hold on to something!' or 'Stopping at the light now' 😂 I thought is made no sense...

Imagine ridding tricycles then.......Until you realize how practical, no assurance needed, obviously no need for gas, allowed in downtown areas where cars are less and less allowed nowadays in growing a list of countries unless you pay a tax for that, how high tech they are with prices starting at 2000 euros and way beyond for valid reasons. Yeah, f cars, I am buying one of those too soon.

Nice video Can you do a video of shopping in Japan for ¥25000

The glow on your face when you said you were getting your salary 😂

Girllll I was thinking about you today lol....and I'm first 🥇....pin pin 💕

Nihongo ga wakarimasen is my favorite line!!!!😂

Hello

But also you're being too hard on yourself! You were literally able to read the different boba flavors last time we hung out,you're doing soo good! Loved this sit down

I'm an ALT with JET so I thankfully have a good salary, but obviously JET is only 5 years. Living in Japan on a dispatch salary and no partner to split expenses with can be tough if you're living somewhere where rent is high. It's the sort of job you really want to skill-up out of.

Lol it’s a struggle being here for real! Being alone in a foreign country is not for sissies!

I haven’t finished the video yet, so maybe you address this, but it might be worth sitting down and doing an actual budget if you’re not already. And try to account for taxes. I’ve seen other videos from people in their 2nd or 3rd year, and they all say it was an issue when tax time came around if they hadn’t budgeted. Put aside savings, tax and rent money first. Then do the rest. Might help?

About learning Japanese you can watch different youtube videos with headings like what I wish I knew before studying Japanese and downloading and trying out different apps till you find a learning method that suits you

20:51 Me too. I really am thinking of just going ahead and buying an Aarke Carbonator and make my own "blend" of sodas.

How dod u learn to ride a bicycle? I want to learn too !!

Here's a saving tip I actually learned in Japan -- you open another bank account, for savings only, and the day you receive your salary, the first thing you do is deposit a fixed sum there. Anything is fine and it should be something you could survive without with a little effort, like 5,000 yen or 10,000. You put it there and forget about it, then make do with the rest as if you never had it 🤐It's about creating a habit, more than anything. As for starting a business, it might take a while, but it's definitely possible. I recently saw a video about a man from Trinidad who is apparently the first black man to grow grapes in Japan (Yamanashi, I think). It was quite inspiring. Also, I was wondering about your transportation cost. It sounds like a lot of money. I hope your company reimburses you. In any case, check and see if getting on or off the train at a different station and walking or biking from there saves you anything on that train pass. Sometimes one station makes a huge difference in price. Ganbatte!! 🥳

Okay Duolingo🥹🤣 I understood that effortlessly “Everyday I study Japanese but I don’t understand” haha yes same here!

Hey babe, how do I reach you privately

Maybe you spend too much

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I died at 'village people is that you' cause I would have thought the same. anyway, love your vlogs/ diary entries😃

The video is great, you need to keep promoting your channel. Is not hard.

Hi Preye, it’s always lovely to see you integrating more and more into Japan and getting more and more comfortable/confident with the camera. I enjoy your story times on here I just got accepted as an ALT, please can I reach out to you privately for guidance on some things while I prepare? Thank you 🌹

You are doing great!!! You will be fine.
