ah yeah... "unemployed 25yo".
you look not so "unemployed" there.. XD
@@DBT1007 is Jesse the guy or girl?
Bro idk what he's talking about. WE are not used to eating that lmao
Shun, your channel and energy are amazing. I really enjoy the amount of detail you include and the unusual topics you cover.
It's fascinating watching your personal journey from salaryman to creative TH-camr, you're a very charismatic guy 👍
Your audio and editing are first rate.
But, as a retired cameraman, can I suggest you consider a cheap Zhiyun gimbal to help with the wobbly camerawork ?
Smooth high quality vision is the first thing people notice on a TH-cam video.
It's really really unpleasant to watch sometimes for people who get motion sick ☹️ (like me)
Please subscribe to OkinaWanderer channel. He needs another 183 subscribers to Live stream. Thanks Shunchan and supporters.
Sorry my oatmeal is dry like SHUNchan's upload schedule lol
Ayooooo 🤣
nahhh😭
Where the lie tho😭😭
I eat mine kinda like that too :)
I was eating exactly the same oatmeal, with the same almond milk and same honey. I almost choke on my also very dry oatmeal watching you eating exactly the same. Hey! Dry oatmeal is so good! Cheers, I also live in Tokyo.
Can we talk about ShunChan's artistic style on filming and music? Video was amazing. I can watch random content like this all day
thank you! it means a lot😭
@@SHUNchanjp what kind of camera are you using ? @SHUNchan ;)
Where? It’s the same tired thing..
Don't put yourself down by saying you are unemployed, you are a content creator and get paid for it. If it pays the bills, that's a whole lot better than some people here in the US can say about themselves. Hope you hit 300k subscribers soon!
i think it's more so because japan/japanese people don't view freelancing as a job
Videoing your self fucking off all day is not a job… SMFH
Yeah, it's sad that he is made to feel this way about himself. I would say it is somewhat deeply rooted in the society. Even if someone has a job that makes plenty of money, if there is anything atypical about it people will frown upon it. I knew someone in Japan who made about 5 hundred grand working just 4 months out of the year as a contractor for a US company. Despite knowing roughly the situation, their neighbor still asked his wife every single day "Why doesn't your husband go to work?" or "When is he going to get a real job?" and other such questions. People want to see you go to working every day, during regular hours, or it isn't considered to be enough. Even something like starting your own company is somewhat frowned upon. It's better to just work for the man, and then over-work for him.
A job isn't just about money-- it's also about self-sacrifice and how you spend your time. People will wonder what sort of selfish person can spend the free time on themselves that westerners would say they have "earned." From a western perspective, my friend earned enough to work only 4 months of the year. From a Japanese perspective, it may not just be about earning money to live. I hope this makes some sense. And again, it's only my own observation and perspective on the issue.
*Try not to let life make you cynical. You’re one of the most pleasant vloggers. I’d love to see shows on what it’s like to be a university student in Japan, and another on the professional classical music scene there.*
When I visited from Canada at the end of 2019 I found that food was significantly less expensive in Tokyo. Transit was also cheaper not to mention more reliable.
Now you've got me reminiscing about how much cheaper things in Canada were in 2019 X'D
True, Canada is insanely pricey to live in😭
canada is expensive af right now.
BRUH ITS LIKE 50$ (CAD) TO WATCH A MOVIE IF YOU WANT POPCORN 😭😭
The only question is how to get a long-term visa in Japan....
Dude - your channel is so honest and real. I've learned so much more about Japanese culture from your videos than I've ever had from other ordinary travel vloggers. If you can find a way to devote time into making more videos, you'd be one of the top Japanese TH-camrs. No lie.
Welcome back Shunchan! Beautiful filming and editing 😍😍
🙇🙇🙇
This reminded of myself at the same age living alone, unemployed and broke in Brazil. Of course you have much more style going around in a skateboard.
Thanks for the video man.
Everyone comparing the cost of living in the US (or other countries) seems to forget that the average annual salaries in Japan (including Tokyo) are a lot less than in the US. Shun Chan did a video where he talked about salaries with a friend and I was very surprised at how little people earn (relative to what comparable salaries would be here). I live in Philadelphia and pay $1200 a month for a 500 square foot apartment (46 m2) and I don’t even have a washer and dryer! And this is very cheap for my neighborhood. You can’t find a 1 bedroom apartment for under $1000 a month in my city unless you live in a very, very dangerous part of the city. I work at a restaurant and our least expensive sandwich is $15. Things cost more here but on average we earn more money. I could survive on less than $26 a day here if I didn’t eat out - I live close enough to work to walk (or take the bus, which costs $2.50 one way), and if you’re not including rent and other monthly expenses (like utilities).
Yeah, that's what I was also thinking. Like it's high for the AVG Japanese salary but Tokyo is a bargain compared to NYC. I live in the NYC metro area and it's so easy to spend over $100 in 1 day visiting Manhattan. So $20 a day in Tokyo would be "cheap" if you were making a similar salary in Japan that you would in the US. Actually interested in Philadelphia to have that Urban lifestyle like you have in NYC but at a fraction of the cost. I don't think they have nearly as many job opportunities as NYC tho
Yes but wages are not that different in the US for MOST people. Yes some people make more, but sooooo many more are struggling or living at home. Also Americans are completely oblivious to how much of their money goes to healthcare... no wasted on health insurance. Most people from other countries don't have to pay for and no their taxes arent outrageously more, that is BS propaganda. Sure maybe their taxes are a bit more but they get something more out of it
@@B-3490 A LOT of New Yorkers have moved to Philly in the past few years because it’s def cheaper to them. But, rents have skyrocketed and people keep blaming it on New Yorkers 🤣 we have plenty of high rises where 1 bedroom apartments are $3-4k+ a month. The places that are close to $1200-1500 are small 1 bedroom apartments in row homes (that’s what I have) and are becoming increasingly hard to find unless you live in a very dangerous part of town. New highrises are popping up out of nowhere. A new one is being built walking distance from my apartment, which means my rent will probably go up again soon.
I work part time at a restaurant and work full time running my own cat sitting business. The people I cat sit for are mostly wealthy. I get to go in so many super expensive (millions of dollars) homes and apartments/condos that otherwise I’d never get to see 🤣
@@EricaInTokyo yeah, the New Yorkers ruin everything 😂 same for FL prices as well. Center city or some of the safer/walkable areas is where I'd want to be. I don't mind the 1200/1500 for a single bedroom cause I want the city lifestyle
@@B-3490 yeah you can’t get a 1 bedroom in that range in center city. I like center city but can’t afford to live there. I live in south Philly, the East Passyunk neighborhood, and it’s awesome. Safe and super walkable. I don’t have a car and everything is in walking distance.
I love your videos Shun, even if it's just you chilling and vibing with your friends. Please upload more
Watching you guys just living life and skating through the streets of tokyo gives me so much joy and somehow so much nostalgia. (Although I've never skated nor lived in Tokyo)
Edit: I forgot to add you and your friends look SO COOL!
Awesome to see Patricia and her always epic one-liners😭
Was missing you videos, man. Glad to see you're back. Keep them coming if you can.
No matter what I'm doing, when I see Shun updated, I stop and click. 😌
Yay, Shunchan video! ✨ I usually only eat toast with some type of spread (Like butter or Nutella) for breakfast, but I'm usually aiming to just eat something fast and then get to my day. Working in places like restaurants with a friend seems like an ideal!
When I was living in Japan compared the US the two things that were outrageously expensive compared to the US: Fruit/Vegetables and Public Transportation. Things that were cheaper: Snack food and rent. My rent for my apartment in Kyoto was $450US compared to my apartment in the US which was $600. I could walk into any konbini and get a great prepared meal for less money than a meal at McDonalds.
whaaat, which state? in Canada its so much more expensive, my condo was $2700, although the food prices are likely similar
@@user-ch9my3to6j That was a couple years ago, I’m looking for new apartments now, he cheapest I’m finding is $1300 for what I need In a low cost of living state.
Fruit seemed outrageously expensive. I didn't eat much of it in Japan. Prepared meals from the supermarket and konbini were the best. So cheap. Prepared food is quite expensive in my country.
Public transport was about the same.
@@user-ch9my3to6j more expensive than even that the closer to a city you live in. In DC for example rent can be like $3600 for a 2BR or $2300 for a 1BR
@@AstroVerbal wait in DC? i thought DC is sort of rural, as compared to LA or NY
ah you're finally back 🤗 see you in 2 months tho 🤣
🤣
Great to see you back! I've noticed that prepared food in Japan is really cheap in comparison to the United States, but I suspect our raw ingredients (excluding rice of course) are cheaper. Your breakfast made me wonder if you ever had a full southern breakfast plate when you lived in the US. We do eat a lot of cereals (like your friend's oatmeal concoction), but the classic American breakfast is very hardy. It would have two eggs (made to order), bacon or sausage, breakfast potatoes, and biscuits and sausage gravy.
In every video I’ve watched that discusses costs in Japan (and especially Tokyo), the prices are way, way cheaper than where I live in the US. You can’t even get lunch at a fast food restaurant here for $5, and our average rents are 2-3x higher. However, what I’ve also learned is that the average pay in Japan, including Tokyo, is less than what we make on average here. So, a $5-10 meal there seems expensive to a Japanese person whereas it’s not seen as expensive here.
Japan has one of the best most organized domestic food supply chains. So food can easily get from the fields/sea to the factories/restaurants/stores easily and cheaper. It is the imported foods because of tariffs and generally not integrated well into the supply chain as well make price of those things much higher.
@@TheBaldr yup. and some imported stuff integrated to their "local food". like.. salmon sushi and stuff, the australian beef, indonesian n filipino seafood resources, and more.
Your videos have this way of being fresh and vibrant yet also calming (because of your voice). I hope it stays this way.
I agree with everyone here!! Please post more often even if it’s just a chill Vlog. We like just watching you for you cuz you’re so unique and funny and chill ❤️
when you said “a friend” i wasn’t expecting PATRICIA !!! love her
I love when you call yourself an unemployed 25-year-old, like being unemployed is really nothing to worry about, like you can still have a bunch of fun and definitely somewhere along the line a great future still lies ahead of you, and that great smile of yours just confirms it. Keep moving forward, dude. You're doing great and you are headed where you're supposed to be. It's definitely a great place, I'm sure.
because he's actually self-employed?
Yeah because the title is completly mislesding. He is self employed and making money. Saying he’s unemployed and spending $26 usd a day in one of the most expensive cities in the world gives people who are unemployed and lazy some type of hope that things will work out for them.
not everyone is willing to be a slave of a corporate
The small serving sizes always makes me smiles. Interesting video. I can’t wait to come visit Japan and write stories all about it.
I saw it and it made me miss the Wendy's value meal. Fries always hit the spot.
Welcome back Shun! It’s been a long time since your last video. Try to produce more to keep your mind off all of life’s worries.
Both you and Patricia are adorable!It would be great if you two were more than just friends. 😉
👀
@@SHUNchanjp top 10 anime couples
2023. It is confirmed! 😂
Since coming to Japan I got used to eat every sort of things for breakfast (and actually really love the rice+nattō+raw egg combo🥺) but lately due to the lack of time my breakfast usually consist of Yakult only ww Never commented before but I love all your videos! Also, I got pretty into Ten's Unique thanks to you so I was singing along this time lol keep it up!! :)
honestly, I could have just Yakult for breakfast too😂
My new favorite channel
This is super helpful. I think I’m finally going to plan a solo trip to Tokyo so this is welcome information. 🙌🏼
Maybe you could do a video on navigating Tokyo with zero knowledge of the Japanese language. 🧐
All the subway/train stations have signs in English and there are announcements in English on the trains, so between that and Google maps (get a Japanese SIM card before you go) it's seriously not a problem at all.
One of the TH-cam creators who I genuinely enjoy watching. No doubt about that.
Awww she was so sad when you said you wouldn’t take a first date to Gust…. Go take her to your favorite place! 🔥 🔥 😆 😆
For a long time I really took it to heart that Tokyo was soo expensive but when I consider how overpriced things are in Canada (like phone plans, public transit, groceries, etc) I think it’s all relative. Granted I have to do the US to CAD conversion but still seems like not an unreasonable amount to spend in a day. If I have to buy lunch when I go to work, even if I buy a crappy prepared sandwich and a bubly at a grocery store I’m spending like $8 USD, never mind sitting down in a restaurant and having a decent sized meal. And public transit in most Canadian cities is very limited or unreliable and costs similar to what you paid in Tokyo - so in a lot of places you lose a lot of time getting around or spend more money to own a car and pay for parking/gas/insurance. I’m interested to see what free or low cost things you would take friends to who were visiting for the first time, as well as how to find good places to eat in Tokyo. At home and when I travel I rely pretty heavily on google maps/reviews but since I don’t speak or read Japanese I don’t know how useful it would be. I’m hoping to go to Japan next year once independent travel is permitted and I LOVE to eat when I travel but definitely like to look for good deals and avoid tourist traps/gimmicky places.
Lol, try Zurich Switzerland. Earning below 3500 USD (gross) a month you're considered below the poverty level. And trust me, those 3500 will be gone at the end of the month, no matter how frugal you live.
Yup, but culture differences is the biggest issue from me, not just food but many other things as well. Public transport is one of my favourites of Tokyo and many European cities. In Canada, don't expect to go anywhere without a car unless you live in Toronto, which is also a very good city in terms of Public Transport/Infrastructure.
This video is very informative Shun! Thanks! 😊 But I can’t forgive myself leaving this comment section without saying…. You and Patricia both have chemistry together 🥰
I think Shun’s the only one who didn’t realize he was on a date 😅
bro, this is exactly what I was looking for. AND he's on a penny board?? that's the mood when I pull up this year, another easy way to move around in the streets👍🏽
He came back with the milk
Your name is legendary
😂 i guess you are referring to Jesse
Found this channel today and have already watched all your videos. YOU are humble and sensible. your videos are easy to watch and comforting with great choice of music. AMAZING
0:15 "AKA my family's disappointment" 🤣
Not gonna lie, I was shocked to see the drinks from the vending machine was only .90 cents....can't really find even $1 drinks here xD Most vending machine snacks run about 2.50 or so. They use to be cheaper, but not as much anymore. Also $26 in one day is super impressive! D:
I have to say, I started watching you some days ago and I'm obsessed with your content !!!
Keep up the good work!!!
Welcome back Shun!! This was fun and entertaining as always!!
Great pleasure to see you're back! I really enjoy your videos Shun!
Videos like this are always fascinating to me. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching!
Your hair is looking super cool :) It suits you well
sometimes i feel kinda weird how i subscribed to patricia, jesse and shun (and even shota) long before i found out that they actually know each other and made videos together lol
I love your videos. Keep them coming. I started staying in Tokyo from August 15. Hope to learn more from your channel. I have notification bell ON!
Regarding prices, I actually don't think it's that bad in Tokyo. I live north of Denver in the USA and a basic meal at a restaurant with a drink is now around 13 USD. Drinks from a vending machine are 2.25 to 3.25 USD. I own a house, but rent is usually 1200 to 1600 USD for a nice 2 bedroom apartment. Renting a house will cost 2250 to 2850 USD per month. So yeah, costs in the USA have gone pretty crazy in the last few years. If I were younger and single now, I would probably already be living in Japan.
Don't forget driving\travelling expenses as well from place to place.
@@Deep_wolf yep, you pretty much need a car up here since public transportation sucks. So add at 150 USD for insurance (assuming you own your car) and about 200 USD per month in fuel costs.
@@Deep_wolf It cost me more per month in public transportation living in Kyoto than owning a car.
@@TheBaldr you live in Kyoto, rookie mistake
3 Egg omelete for breakfast, and black coffee.
Sandwich for lunch
Usually something home made for dinner (home made burgers are quick and easy, maybe mashed potatoes, spaghetti).
Probably the most expensive thing I eat/drink at home is my coffee, about 20$ for 12oz (340g), and it lasts me 30 days (60 cents per day). I have my own chickens so eggs are "free" but feed is about 35$ every 2 weeks, so eggs cost me $2.50 a day but at least they are 100$ natural.
On my most "expensive weekends", I might spend MAYBE 40$ on food alone (including breakfast at home which I never skip). But on average, its around the same as as in Tokyo, except I live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, USA is definitely not cheap.
Good to see you Shun! Thanks! 💗🙏🍻 And oh, Patricia is awesome.
Oatmeal, almond milk, and honey -- served dry -- is "what we're used to back in the States?" lol! I keep almond milk at home nowadays (I live in Japan as well) but in the US my oatmeal was always made with cow's milk and was far from dry, as it could be poured out of the bowl. It was neither soupy nor dry and sticky -- as with the 3 Bears, it was "just right." haha
It's great to have you back SHUNchan! Don't way too long to make a move my dude 👀
on a diet so I have rice pudding with a banana chopped up in it for breakfast. lunch is 4 pieces of brown bread for a sandwich with chopped up baked chicken cucumber slices tomato slices and light mayo for the spread.
Glad you’re back bro! Next year I’m moving to Japan as a research student! Hope we can hangout sometime, you and your friends are the coolest people I’ve seen on TH-cam 😂
Hilarious like always 😄😄😄 Love you Shun for bringing laughter, ur the best... Keep up the good vibes man, Cheers and Peace 🤗
I love youre editing sooo much, its so entertaining to watch and youre friends seem preaty nice and chill
I believe, like you, that a single person is better off financially by mostly eating out rather than buying food to prepare in your apartment. You have the benefit of not having to buy and throw food out because of spoilage; having flexibility of eating wherever you find yourself when you are out and about; eating food that you are hungry for at that moment; and you don't have to do the dishes. In addition you can save time by not having to prepare and pack a lunch. Further, you can save space and keep a smaller kitchen by limiting yourself to utensils necessary for preparing breakfast. ☺
Quick and simple breakfast:
2-3 scrambled eggs with 20g of cheese, 20g pickles with 50g of bread. The total cost is around 0.5-0.6$ USD depending on 2 or 3 eggs
loved this vid. you are such a cool dude, and have such great friends because of that. If I was young, living in Japan and could speak Japanese, of course, I would adore your friendship!
Glad to see a Japanese person breaking free from the norms and expectations of society.
Guilt will make him return back to the fold. Or he will emigrate (and feel extra guilty).
@@nr655321 interesting. Probably.
Your next video idea should be interviewing Muslims in Japan and what their experience of living in Japan is like
I’m happy to see you uploaded!! I usually have oatmeal, eggs & toast, or protein pancakes for breakfast
Shun-chan you were splurging that day. Gusto for lunch and ramen-ya for dinner. Life of a young bachelor. Good luck with Patricia! She seems totally cool.
The algorithm bought me here and I'm glad I found this channel. Thank you for the great content! Btw the oatmeal in the UK is never that dry!
Great video. Thanks for posting. Was especially relevant after a trip to Shizunami wave pool. But more importantly, we hope you and Patricia get together at the end of this series. There's chemistry there!
“I’m eating brown rice, nato, and raw egg on top”
“EW”
Lost my shit laughing
So good to see you back! I hope you find the kind of apartment you’re looking for. You don’t have the option of renewing your current lease?
it's for 3 ppl and one of our roommates is leaving for another country for work😅
A very interesting casual vibe about this channel. Love it and Subscribed!
Algorithm gods have bought me here and I gonna binge watch now. Thank you for your hard work .
I eat natural(white) yoghurt with milk and stir so it’s a Slightly viscous Yoghurt milk then I put a tbsp of sunflower Seeds and then Put honey ontop
Great content, as always! I get excited when you post, and never let down!
491 USD per month including wifi etc. Is cheaper than Canada and US bro! Without wifi, heat and water, a condo rental cost over $700 US shared kitchen and everything. Now it is more if you live alone, can be up to $1,500 CDN/US min
I was just wondering where shun chan went a couple days ago and he blessed us with this
"Aka my family disappointment". Well as long as your happy, healthy n you're doing pretty good. To me thats not a disappointment that's a W🙌.
I usually eat an oats and honey granola bar and drink hot white tea infused with peach leaves for breakfast. Sometimes I will add an apple or banana. Sometimes will do toasted cinnamon raisin bread with a flavored cream cheese.
Love these day in life videos, keep them coming!
Bro. Your editing has changed! You could do this as a daily series and I think you could get a lot of views! Really nice b roll and vibes!
You say disappoint but making great content. Dont even joke like that! You doing big things keep pushin!
For breakfast I usually eat oatmeal with milk and a cup of coffee, sometimes I also add a piece of fruit or cinnamon or nuts, depending on the level of activity that I have planned for that day.
Orion shirt with the Okinawa treats! 美味しそう！🍻🌴✨
Shun chan always puttin out bangers
Commenting for the algorithm. Support da homie Shun!
Hey Shun, youtube algorithm somehow managed to show me your channel today after following Chris Broad for like 5 years. Great to have some young blood here and you skating in Tokyo to the vending machines on this clip made me feel really old. Good luck and keep pushing the content.
Hey Shun, if you know any international students or people who were international students, maybe you can make a video about their experience, kinda like how you talked about your time in the US?
Glad there is another video :D
I'm from Malaysia 🇲🇾
When I'm at home I'll drink Milo for breakfast , have instant ramen for lunch and family dinners together.
But if i would go out for a day, my budget would be ¥2,500 for because I live in the main city: Kuala Lumpur ^^;
The divide in generations and nothing against the differing sides. The first thing she mentions is the free Wi-Fi and plug, were are I would have mentioned the food, view, people, atmosphere etc.. Fascinating.
You're a real one atleast someone who speaks facts
You are not a disappointment. You working like you are a vlogger. Have positive thoughts find side gigs like in USA
It's funny how you and Jesse 'ew'ing each other's breakfast 😂
300k subs. Bro your ad revenue will feed an entire family.
Long time viewer and I just wanted to say I love your content. Keep it up and Japan looks amazing to visit.
Hey kiddo thank you for helping me get through the pandemic!! I hope everything works out for you, I LOVE your chhannel!! joe from USA
ok, this dude is smooth.. is this our first date? dude.. smooth operator.
If you are running out of ideas, I might have a solution. Patricia mentioned that the restaurant has a wide variety of foods(3:10). Maybe you can do a video about resaurants in Japan that serve non-Japanese food.
My rent for an 2 bedroom apartment downtown Chicago is around 4500k I split it with my roommate so it’s 2k ish a month. And we spend loads on food/ going out 😂
What do you do for a living to afford such prices!?
So uh do you bring all your first dates to gusto orrrrr
That family restaurant definitely gives you a good amount of food for the amount of money paid.
The vending machine drinks appear to be somewhat cheaper than the USA’s vending machines beverages, though they might also be smaller so who knows if they even out or not.
Man this would be the life when I went to leave japan I actually didn't want to go if I'm being honest I loved it so much it was everything about it.
I hate when TH-camrs in Tokyo say that it's so expensive! Tokyo _can_ be expensive, but it doesn't have to be. I've lived in a guesthouse for 37,000 yen a month very close to Shinjuku. Was it the nicest? No, but it was a good start and helped me save up to move to a different guesthouse in Kawasaki with a private room and still within good commuting distance to Shinjuku. There are plenty of opportunities out there if you're willing to look for them.
hello this is my 1st time watching your video and its fun... i think im gonna bingewatch all of your videos.
And oh yeah love your music taste too!!
A day in the life of a low tier creator. Do nothing, produce boring content, go to lunch with equally dull friend. "I could do a 3 things to do in Japan but the quality won't be good", greeeat, you're killing it.
if im up for breakfast, i have one of 3 breakfasts, porridge with coco powder added no sugar, all bran with almond milk, or a omelette with all kinda things added from tuna to baked beans, cheese or anything really, uk
