      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?

    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.

    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. 😅

    One of your best investments is your washing machine! . Good choice. Im here on holidays and the food here and drinks are so cheap, why would you need to cook hey! Im doing so much videoing and will be putting together my experiences being in japan. If you're happy with minimal things then thats ok too. Great content cheers Cheryl 😊😎🦘🇦🇺

      yes that was such a good deal. How was this cheaper than my Futon ? haha. About the cooking, yeah totally , but I'm starting to crave fresh stuff like salad and fruits, which is expensive in a restaurant in Japan. So I'll soon buy plates and stuff for that. I look forward to your Japan Videos!

    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!

    Hi. I just subscribed from Australia. I watched your move in vlog and now this one. I’m 66 btw. I would definitely buy a small table and a chair for the kitchen, probably folding ones, then you could move them around to the other room and also put them on the balcony if you want to sit out there and study or eat. Also if you want to eat or cook something you can use your kitchen. I would definitely buy at least 1 cooking pot or fry pan, and basic plate, cup, utensils etc. You never know if you could be unwell one day and you could just use those to make and eat a basic meal. Noodles, eggs, or a hot drink. You can boil water in the saucepan, or get a small kettle. Also please buy some basic first aid things, even just a packet of bandaids and pain tablets. There’s nothing worse than having to drag yourself out to get something when you are sick. Best of luck to you. Wish I had done this when I was young!

Finger is fine but it was not a good experience, I have a first aid kit now.

    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.

Usai has alot of videos showing micro and mini apartments.

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.

      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.

    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.

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.
