      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.

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

      If you come to Japan I really recommend doing more than 1 week. Most of the cost is in the flights so you should make use of it and stay as long as you can. Most people suggest at least 2 weeks. There is so much to do and see in Japan, you will probably find yourself feeling very rushed and missing lots of you only go for 1 week.

      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.

    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)

    A room with a bed that can fit two people, with a projector that can be used to display movies, and is also completely isolated to public.
    Gee, I wonder how Japanese people utilize such a room.

      Consider that their population are declining, I believe they use it to read manga and watch anime

    My god the lighting in these rooms is an absolute nightmare, creates a sterile and dungeon-esque atmosphere. I personally would hate to be reading in one of these cells with an obnoxiously bright spotlight on me. If they fixed the lighting in these places I can guarantee people would find them much more enjoyable!

      You can’t tell what the lighting looks like from a video. Lighting that looks fine in a normal room often looks atrociously bad in a video.
