- Ever wondered what life in Japan looks like? From waking up in a bed, to journeying to Tokyo on a bullet train and being on Japanese TV, it'll be like you're practically there on this remarkable journey.

**Notification Squad! WHAT do you eat for breakfast? And WHAT YOUR FAVORIT COLOR?!**
After 5 years I finally caved in and made a “Day in my life video”; from waking up and having a shower, to riding a bullet train and being on Japanese TV. Discover my greatest weakness, what I eat for breakfast every morning, and how awkward and bizarre Japanese award shows are. And most importantly, let's unravel WHAT'S IN THE BOX.
Abroad in Japan fried chicken and blue
Coffee & Toast for Breakfast, & Green at the moment (this may change depending on my mood)
Red Bananas
Abroad in Japan cereal and blue
Eggs and a banana
Honestly, what a bro move getting your friend on stage as your interpreter
Acleeze especially cuz he could actually speak Japanese
goes to show that those people have never watched his vids to find out that he's actually a teacher
@@hecatrice2064 What does that have to do with speaking Japanese?
Chris didn't speak Japanese when he first came to Japan. One of his regrets.
@Johnfuse he's saying that those people would probably think "why the hell did he brought an interpreter then?" when they find out Chris is a teacher, because you know when you teach in a foreign country you must be able to speak their language too
IIRC, the JET program, at least, doesn't require English teachers it hires from abroad to be fluent in Japanese. (Not that it's not a good idea...)
you can now say this is an award winning show
I just made this get to 1000 likes!!!!
@@sonicraft9996 someone removed their like and i was able to do it for the second time lol
@@tmauntler yeah, that was me checking to see if the likes were correct
@@sonicraft9996 why must you hurt me
@@tmauntler nothing personal, brother
we all gonna ignore the fact that this dude legit managed to get his friend up on national telly for no reason?
10/10
He said that in video that Ryotaro was his translator which was the reason. Didn't you watch the video?
@@Al-fm8kh Chris is pretty much fluent in Japanese, he could have given the speech himself however he allowed Ryotaro to be his translator, have you not watched any of Chris's older videos and or his latest series where he did a video speaking only in Japanese all day in his travel series. He allowed his friend to translate for him so that Ryotaro got some exposure .
@@Al-fm8kh 18:00 ... oh the irony
I think it's fantastic that he did that. It's a sign of a good friend.
@@HinataHyugaWithtits "Chris is pretty much fluent in Japanese"
Nope.
“What your mum think?”
“Very Crazy”
Japanese stare bafflingly.
Translator- “Clazy!”
“Ahhhhhhh”
you literally made me spit out my soda on my shirt
thanks for that
Lolololol
this killed me too 😂😂😂
I am actually a bit confused, did they seriously needed this translation?
@@AhmedAshraf-pd7mu nah
he just wanted to get his friend on stage too what a gem
Make a video about North Korea --> get demonetised by CZcams --> receive an award for it on live Tokyo TV.
What a story of redemption.
When the redemption arc is better than the revenge arc
Haha yeah 😁
Japan: "Oh, god bless this man who made an educational, journalistic, real-time report about our missile alert system to educate the masses on how to be safe in our wonderful country!"
Chris's actual video: "Bloody hell, if that fucking missile alert goes off one more time, im fighting north Korea myself...….."
Lol! 😆
This is one of the most British things I've seen. The man wins an award which is highly respected by millions of people. Awarded for helping to inform the world of a significant political issue that Japan has to deal with in this day and age. Chalks it up as an above average day, includes footage of him fumbling about an iron and cusses himself out constantly. Top bloke.
Train leaves 20 seconds early in japan: NOOOIOOOOO. Here in America: sorry, your train has been delayed another hour, for the 6th time, sorry for the inconvenience
and yea, sorry not sorry
Yeah, that's crazy.
@Aj Muhammad you think America train public transport is bad?? Try mine in Malaysia. Wait for one hour plus delay or perhaps almost near to 1 hour 45 minutes if your train is suddenly delayed due to damage or maintenance.
Meanwhile in France : public railway workers are on strike for the 10th time in a month..oh well it’s january...we re lucky..it could be worst..
An hour late is usually the actual arrival time of trains in India. Trains get late by 10+ hours on a normal basis barring few premium trains. Sometimes even days if it is winter or any natural disaster hits.
Ryatoro looks like a bond villain with that turtleneck and coat
Jet Jenkins facts
He looks like Giovanni, Team Rocket Boss
I fell in love for him when I saw him in that look
Turtleneck and coat/jacket makes me think of Johann in Monster, as well as Giovanni.
He legit looks like an ex-Yakuza member
Chris: “lots of important people could be watching this. You, you could be an important person.”
Me, sitting in my pyjamas with a bowl of ice cream: “ehh, I think you’re safe.”
Same, but I'm eating lasagna instead.
@@GustavoHenrique-qe8ib I love lasagna almost as much as this channel
Hahaha
😂😂😂
When you realised that the important people was eating the same thing as yours before he/she is important
I appreciate the way you dodged the invisible attacking sparrow as you walked onto the stage.
Oh yeah such an elegant move!
You won the comment section for this video, sir.
Japan truly is a land of magic and mystery.
Just like Tom Cruise would do
That dry mouth issue was hilarious when you pointed that out. I didn't actually notice it the first time.
This. I think it's simply self conscious thing. He knew he did it and was looking for it in the replay. Meanwhile we're just over here waiting for the talkiing to start
it's caused by excessive kissing, he was kissing Ryotaro's pokemonds
"The North Korean missile really shocked me"
*Audience weeps and applauds*
SplatterSpreeFilms still bigger than Pluto
How the FUCK could the same person write such a brilliant life-quote, then write "What Your Favorit Color"?
Beerdy - Bruce Lee Central they probably took that quote off the internet. Wouldn't be surprised if they actually did.
Stop!
*Explosion*
Who would cross the bridge of death must answer me these questions three. There the other side he see!
What Is Your Name?
What Is Your Quest?
What Is your Favorit Color?
*+Maestro*
What your favorit color?*
Now you know why the glove only got three stars instead of five.
Anna Sophia it 100% is a famous quote they copied off the internet lol
Anticipating that this video is 21 minutes of you eating biscuits
Jordan Ramesa 😂😂😂😂
Idk why I laughed so freaking hard when Chris stepped on the stage. His facial expression looks like he's a kid got caught by a teacher 🤣
Did you see all those cameras in Ryotaro's selfie shot? I'd react the same way haha 16:01
This video was sick mate, one of my favorit
MiguelAnghelo JS oh no! The video was sick?!?! I hope it gets better soon.
*You see a puddle of sick on the floor*
I actually really enjoyed this. It was quite relaxing (except for when you were going on stage; I was nervous for you). I really wanted to teach you how to use the iron. Even though I can’t read Japanese, I’m pretty confident I could. Lol Thanks for sharing this and exposing your daily life to us. It was a fun journey.
Oh, and don’t worry. I can assure you, I’m DEFINITELY not an important person. Haha
*Insults J-alert
*Gets award*
Your user pic adds to your commen really. :D
I wonder if the Japanese people behind the award had no idea what Chris actually said about it.
LAWLZ
LOL
I totally forgot about that.
Wasnt the whole video bitching about being woken up by it and then going "eh, it's okay I guess. "
Those awards are about how popular you are from the keywords that you use. And he got popular
"Japanese rail company apologises after train leaves 20 seconds early"
Me : living in Germany where you are happy if your train even arrives that day
According to CZcams comments, it seems like every country except Japan has terrible train service, lmao
@@lordmuhehe4605 it checks out... here in Taiwan the high speed rail is great but normal rail is shit... the reason for this is cause the government hired Japan to make the HSR lmao
@@lordmuhehe4605 Deutsche Bahn is just another cup of tea, man.
You think Germany is bad? My sister had a school trip and she had to take the train back home with her class. Her train had a problem and the next train back home was the next afternoon so her group of ✨*50* 8 year olds✨ and ✨*6*✨ teachers where stranded at a random UK train station. They had to take a 7 hour bus journey instead of a 1 hour train. Great job UK train lines. If you where wondering they arrived back at midnight, the only good part being is that they got a Burger King on the way.
PS: I’m sorry if this came across as passive aggressive uwu
Me too
Next time you need to iron something and you can't figure out the iron (I would be confused too), just run/have a hot shower and leave the shirt hanging up in the bathroom. The steam will help get rid of the wrinkles.
I don't own an ironing board so I just cook a pot of water an hold the shirt over the steam coming out while stretching at it! Same principal!
Then it would be soaking wet hahha
that's brilliant, why didn't i think of that >.< thanks for the tip haha ^^
Been with your channel for 3 years. I enjoy every video, God bless you Chris Broad.
Anthony Raymond absolutely agree. Love seeing a new video from Chris in my feed, always a fantastic surprise. Probably my most “favorit” out of all of my subs, keep it up. These vlogs are fantastic as well, by the way.
Ryotaro is such a dapper man, he surely must know how to iron. You couldn't persuade him to help you with that?
Per Mortensen lol i don't think Chris wouldn't stoop so low as to give him the pleasure!
The cost would be too high: relentless mocking for years to come.
Ryotaro knows how to call down and have his shirts pressed.
I know this video is 2 years old, but it's one of the most entertaining vlogs I've ever seen. You're personality and sense of humor are incredible.
still holds up as top tier
I know this comment is 2 years old, but it's one of the most entertaining comments I've ever seen. You're personality and sense of humor are incredible.
Japan:
Drinking in public: Meh.
Train leaving 20 seconds early: TRIGGERED.
Lol
As long as the train driver isn't drinking in public, we cool
Is drinking in public commonly bad? It's allowed here in Finland
@@zoeysnow8451 I'm not sure about "common", but I believe it's illegal in most English speaking western countries. It certainly is in Australia.
You have no idea how much a buss driving too early triggers me.
Train leaves 20 seconds early... head of the japanese railway firm commits sepuku
trains in my country arrive 30 minutes later and no one cares
Trains here arrive like an hour late 😂
Trains here arrive
I don’t have public transport here lol
Trains in my country don't arrive at all.
10/10 WOULD WATCH AGAIN
Pretty buckwild seeing you here
That comment has left me feeling aroused for some reason. Hm.
YOU TWO MUST COLLAB
10/10 watching this again right now lol
Him: makes video
Japan: *sees video*
Him: im going back to sleep even tho theres a warning.
Japan: Yes, we need him!
Chris: "Here's your coffee, your lordship."
Ryotaro: "Thank you."
Didn't skip a beat, did he? Bahahaha!!
Lulu z. I thought he said Lordshit. Disappointed.
you're left handed? *unsubscribed*
This is the real reason for demonetization
It's his only flaw.
We Fancy I knew there was a reason I am attracted to him 🤔
LOOOOOL Petty 😂😂🚶🏾
There's definitely something SINISTER about left-handedness.
Why didn't you just have the 'hotel' do the ironing? Too expensive? In any case, you did well. Thought Ryotaro on stage was superfluous 'cause your Japanese is more than adequate . . .
Ryotaro is never superfluous. :)
You can have the hotel iron for you?? I just try to keep my clothes wrinkle free and if I need to dewrinkle I hang my clothes up in the shower room and take a hot shower haha
So you heard the J alert go off indicating a possible north korean air strike, went back to sleep and they decided to give you an award for it?!
Pretty much. It's not really that he did something special, it's that foreign media picked up the video.
Adapted that's a different Channel
Well, they say there is no such thing as bad publicity. :D
My life in Japan:
*playing nintendo switch and drinking coffee in the train.*
But there are sexy girls in school girl uniforms all around. If that ain't woth it, I don't know what is!
@Adam Frisk aaand you just went to jail
Same
Mikazuki Augus Pretty sad.
want to hear you speak japanese some time... do a whole episode in japanese!!! ( with subtitles )
Woah that's a nice idea.
Hannes great idea.
As a person studying Japanese myself, Chris is the first person I've seen studying Japanese who is left handed. Its something minor but I think its inspiring as I'm left handed myself.
Im in 6th grade studying Japanese and I’m also a lefty I’m using Duolingo Unironically what do you use to study?
@@SdotGOOO I reccommend the Genji books, also the r/LearnJapanese subreddit since it has a lot of information and tips about learning Japanese.
I think I can relate as Im both-handed
@@meejmuas8686 well what hand do you use more
i thought you have to write japanese with the left hand while watching him do that
As a Canadian I approve of the use of maple syrup in your breakfast, regardless of said breakfast.
And it's the real stuff! Not the sugar water with icky flavouring.
Sepricotaku pfft canadians arent real
This 20+ min episode was fucking fantastic.
Someone give this man a series.
Chris should've featured on CZcams Rewind. So many videos of his got to trending, and the North Korean missile vid made it to international news!
But of course he doesn't make low effort comedy vids with half naked chicks on Insta, nor is he a blonde teen, so how could he be on Rewind.
this.
rewind doesn't mean shit, tbf it seems more people dislike it than those who do lmao
I think I'm too old to physically give a shit about the rewind but is this actually something that matters to people?
He is not a blonde teen? No half naked chicks? What a plot twist considering he appears in his videos for so long I never noticed. Thanks mate ;-).
As I was watching this I was trying to come up with the words to say to you about how charismatic you come across and how much it makes me enjoy your videos. Without sounding creepy. Then you said that you enjoy the creative and editing aspect of CZcams and only do the presenting because you had no one else to do it. You are a fantastic editor and an equally fantastic presenter. You come across down to earth and funny which is very charismatic. I think you do a great job keep it up. Not everyone becomes successful in CZcams and I think that’s partly down to their personality. It takes somebody with a very particular personality and charismatic level to excel which you definitely have
What? You don't sound creepy at all. I'm a Japanese native and I totally agree with you - in fact i was about to post a comment reflecting the same sentiments, you just said it better ;)
This is a crazy plot twist. I didn't know Ryotaro could speak Japanese.
Wait..wha?

Chris:*pulls out camera and starts vlogging*
Chris talking about hating Tokyo station brought back memories of last year, my first time abroad alone, and first time in Japan.
I entered Tokyo station from a train via Narita and spent half an hour trying to reach outside, I had a anxiety attack, broke down in tears, the works, left and never went back my entire 3 week stay😅
We needed Google Maps, a paper map and a compass to find a way out of that station!
I spent like an hour+ trying to find a locker for my suitcase going back and forth in the maze of hallways. I got lost several times and it was scorching hot. I remember feeling pretty uneasy at the end.
LOL!
"I'm better than this"
"I didn't know that"
As a Canadian... I approve of the Maple Syrup drenched oatmeal.
"Yeahhh Canadian culture!!"
Oh my gosh it makes so much sense now, why Ryotaro takes you to all these extravagant places and shows you the ropes in Japan! He's actually your long lost brother and you just never knew. Only Ryotaro knows and he's taken charge of you as you traverse abroad.
日本の勉強が楽しいって言ってくれると日本人としてすごく嬉しい！
As a Japanese, I'm really happy to hear that studying Japan is fun!😊
Sorry for my poor English😢
cool
Your English isn’t bad, it’s pretty good!
英語上手です！
Your English seems almost perfect there are definitely some mistakes but the words are spelled perfectly you just missing some words the words you missed is person after Japanese your before studying and the end was so close but you messed up Japanese for Japanese it should have Japanese is fun not Japan is fun
@@Den-kf2ic Wait is As a Japanese actually wrong?
Isn't As a German/As a Brit etc. Correct? 🤔 (I'm not Native but I am actually curious😅)
Shots fired at the vloggers part 2 huh :p
Did anyone else tune in to see Chris sit around and eat biscuits all day and was utterly disappointed?
the clock scene overlay was magnifico
Chris, I know you've never heard this before, but you're actually quite handsome.
you managed to insult him while simultaneously complementing him, good work.
the classic push and pull
gg
come on im sure he heard it before hes an above average looking guy no homo
@topple I sense some kind of hidden emotion in this comment
might be the single best youtube vlogger out there, funny as hell
Yep
Don't be so self conscious man....I am 27 and gave up my career to take care of my elderly parents. You can't imagine how much I would love to be in your shoes....you are making a difference in your own way.......Life inherently sucks, no matter what. But you are doing good with what you can. Thank you for your videos
I wouldn't say life *only* "inherently sucks"; there's inherent good in it, too. That aside, good on you, man. Too many people shit on others who sacrifice what they want to do to take care of others. Hope things aren't too rough for you and that you're managing well enough.
Ok maybe that was a little too dark. Lol . I just meant that life throws things at you to make you feel bad. It's up to you to find a way to deal with it. Appreciate the kind words.
In the place where I live, taking care of our own elderly parents is a great honor, man. Think about it, your parent always taking care of us when we are a little child.....
And what child is pretty much just crying, pee, poop, and eating their parents salary. When they are older why not return some love for them...
Good lad
turns out a day in japan is only 19mins long
This comment section is gold, I would like to thank you all for that.
9:18 the sign says "furonto" which is just the english word "front" when said outloud, i love how so much Japanese is literally just english
Loan words or not, I think it's a miracle
I like how winning an award for a rather tangential reason is considered a 'slightly above average day' in Chris' estimations.
There is just one thing I never quite understand: His videos are clearly well devised, edited into a product which is not only compact, objective and balanced but also extremely fresh, smooth and with wonderful chosen moments of comedy that never feel forced or unecessary.
Just look at that introduction for a moment, feel how the music feets the way how the sad milk dropping spoon seats in front of our eyes, being the object of focus, before he moves it down in despair and finally eats it.
His content is full of consciously designed ideas, of care for quality and detail, a consistent interest in adding layers of entertainment that most of us do not even catch, but greatly influence the product. What am I trying to say with all this? Why was I "angry" on the first place? I simply cannot follow his view when he says that he is actually not good at anything. I have seen him refering to this at least two times in some other videos, and I could guess that he is still amazed by his amount of success, but camon.... I have not seen such refined videos on youtube for....maybe as long as I have been watching youtube. So yeh, screw you Chris for not knowing how great your channel is, and if you are reading this, and still have the doubts upon your qualities, I hope to have left some idea of why people enjoy this so much. To all, a wonderful whatever you are having.
Your comment came out a lil aggressive, but I agree with the essence - Chris is a very talented and skillful author, narrator and editor. And his personality shines through all this.
@@tatianaabramovskaya8765 Of course I am being ironic, hope you got that as well 😉
I love the fact that he is being humble and acting like how any other person would, in this luxury hotel, talking about how expensive the stuff is, not bragging about it, feeling awkward.. makes it so much more of a genuine experience to be had from his viewpoint.
He is not being a pretentious jerk like most other bloggers.
But i cant forgive you drinking coffee over tea.. such a disgrace

Tox DaSandwich WHAT YOUR FAVORIT MUSIC
Dude, you're awesome, you're hilarious, you have such a good sense of humor, there's nothing to be self conscious about! Though I totally understand it - I'd be self conscious too - but you're legitimately awesome and funny. So don't worry too much about it! Loved the vid, and can't wait to see more.
Great comment, I agree entirely. His being self-conscious shows he understands the big picture, he's not some robot. He thinks things through and is conscientious towards others.
The majority of the British public think in a similar manner. We never really like to think of ourselves as funny or awesome, as it is seen as a bad thing. People don't like to big themselves up
After watching your videos and following your channel for a while I now thought to myself why am I even watching your videos... I just started watching a few videos and kept going without thinking about the content really. I think the main reason I watch your videos is because you're entertaining and you seem like a nice guy. You don't have to force yourself to be enthusiastic about things, just be yourself. Cheers.
Hopefully you see my comment.
Your humour is getting me through lockdown, absolute genius
You've got no reason to be self-conscious (except the human need in all of us.)
You're a charismatic, hilariously witty guy and what you've done to create this channel is genuinely impressive.
Not many people get to live the kind of life you do and - from what we see of you in front of the camera - it seems like you more than deserve to have it!
Best of luck, love your videos, keep it up!

"We have a situation. Look at my t-shirt, how wrinkled it is. I can't go on a TV show with like three million people watching with a t-shirt that looks like that."
"Yeah, that's CZcamsr, that's the life of a CZcamsr. It just tells what it is, it tells the reality of how you live."
"But I'm better than this."
"But I don't know that."
Yeah that part was super funny!!
"Yeeeeeeeeeea! Canadian culture!"
I snorted at that. It shouldn't be particularly funny being Canadian, but I love your dry-wit.
To be fair, a lot of canadian culture is centered around food. Especially in Québec (ie Poutine, chicken gravy sandwiches). The other aspects imo are more subtle. And maple syrup is seriously important to Canada, see maple syrup heist😂
So yeah, it was a funny/somewhat accurate joke. Plus being stereotyped as people enthusiastically pouring maple syrup over everything is rather positive😅🤷
Okay I'm overthinking this, i'm gonna go now😂
It’s interesting to me that you consider speaking in front of the camera your weaker point as opposed to filming/editing. I’ve always thought you have a way with speaking and you always appear very natural and relaxed. I really enjoy your personality and genuiness ( definitely not a word) not awkward forced hype and scripted sounding talking, like how many daily vloggers tend to sound. Sort of like that video you did parodying that. Also random addition, I’ve been watching for over a year and I just booked my first solo trip to stay in Aomori this spring for my 22nd birthday! Thank you for giving me inspiration and excitement to give it a try despite my fears! :)
Sick video mate
Didn't realise Chris was left handed. Does this mean he's evil? He is voluntarily eating oatmeal for breakfast. Suspicious...
Lefties are the Devils minions.
Another known leftie to join us!
I prefer the term “wrong handed.” Wrong handers unite!
Hey Kantan Japan I love your videos
Thank you very much! You're too kind :)
His friend has a really nice voice.
Below an average day edition, please!!!
Left hand... LEFT HAND??? The spawn of the devil! I knew you were... Sick 😀
Edit: British sarcasm, cynical view of the world and that facial expression? You are my defonition of enthusiasm xD
17:32 - actual enthusiasm.
Kurisu they say left handed people are smarter...
Woo! Lefty power! But don't the Japanese have a superstition about using your left hand for chopsticks? I vaguely recall hearing about that once.
My husband and I are watching you regularly!we love you! Your editing,humor and videos are amazing!we are planning to live in Japan as well!Right now we are in Singapore!maybe one day you make it here for a video:D 😍😍🙌🍬 would happy to guide you :)))
Tania Levy Ey Im from Singapore too!
Living in Japan ...off what ??
O-okay.
I don’t understand the candy emoji
I know this video is old but here is a good tip, use protein in breakfast, it keeps you full for the day. I lost 6 and a half stone in 2 years by ensuring I had protein in my breakfast and avoiding sugar in things like granola, which isn't healthy, it usually has more sugar than coco pops
I love the sort of cheap 80s background music you play for scenes with the trains it feels strangely nostalgic even though I’m a product of the 90s
You should look into Synthwave
Burst out laughing with the "What your favorit color?!" and "What your favorit animal?!".
Looking forward for more behind-the-scenes in the future! 「マイペース」always.
"Above average day edition"
Perfect. :3
Sounds like a bonus bullshit edition of a video game that just came out.
You're a better presenter than you think, Chris. It's one of the many reasons I watch your channel - a funny, friendly style, with lot's of self-deprecation and irony. Keep up the fantastic work.
Pokémon GO is actually very alive today (and will probably become even more popular in a few days when ~130 new Pokémon will be added) but since it's not really that well represented in the mainstream media all the people who don't play it assume it's dead. You just have to be at the right place at the right time and look for the right people and suddenly there are people playing everywhere! Even here in Oulu, northern Finland where it's currently around -15° celcius dozens of people still gather together everyday to complete raids together 😄
Yeah, especially at my college. You don't see them but the gyms are consistently changing. it actually super easy to pull out play with it for less than a minute and resume walking to class.
He did mention in a self-deprecating manner that he had better things to do, like vlogging, which some people probably think is also a waste of time. 😊 whatever makes one happy, right? still, yay gen 3.
Same here!
Atrocious hand writing? Your hand position is mental!
Cybney Poitier what do you mean, he's left handed
It's more the way Chris' writing hand curls over the top so it's like he's writing from the top.
Cybney Poitier Some people do that if they are trying to write really finely or are unsure of their writing. There also is the issue that he (presumably) was holding the camera in his other hand, so that threw off his positioning and whatnot.
i know right! damn leftys! lol
Ectos
I'm left handed, but I was taught to slant my paper slightly to the left so I didn't have to write like that.
Continue to keep it real mate
Ampisound Gr8 vlogs about the Japan m8. Really awesome. ^^
The IIII, instead of IV, on the clock there gave me the shivers
Yeah! But it is sadly a common occurrence. Just have a look at Amazon or eBay and search for old clocks ... 99% of them have IIII instead of IV! It is SO annoying! There are even old companies that make really expensive clocks that have IIII instead of IV on them. It really pisses me off everytime I see it xD
@@fumanchu4785 what has this world come to 🤣
Chris the important thing is not that your not losing weight its that your not slowly gaining weight like you were so in a way the diet is working
Chris mate, I just want to say, I've been wanting to be an English teacher in Japan for about 3 years now. I'm currently 16 and when I'm around 18 I would love to visit Japan, and just like you probably was, I'm just a normal British boy going about my day to day life. Sometimes I don't really think it's possible for me to be where you are now, and I just give up on learning Japanese, but when I watch your videos, it genuinely inspires me, and I appreciate it. So I just want to say cheers for the videos and I hope I can be where you are one day :) (I'm also left handed)
mash the banana and put the oatmeal on it, thank me later
Rewatching before bed these older Abroad in Japan videos feels is so funny and relaxing. They bring me to another plaice I can’t access before a hard week at work ❤
Crazy Crazy! Nice! 👏👏 I eat oats and banana for breakfast. That lunch box is Nagoyan food! It must be delicious! 😎
TOMOKO!!!!!
Don't worry Chris, I genuinely didn't notice the mouth thing until you pointed it out, and I thought your jumper looked quite snazzy. We're all our own worst critics. You did great!
21 Minutes. What is this? Christmas?
15:08 - Wait! So no one is going to talk about the fact they use Mission Impossible Theme for his introduction? Ok! well I am gonna remember that 😂😂😂
I bet whoever chose that knew that his lifelong ambition was to become James Bond
I envy you Chris.......I had envisioned myself living a life in Japan just like yours but never got to do it. Time and family caught up with me
I actually lost my shit when you were telling about this country wide desaster and it was a train that left 20 sec early.
It's true that the trains run a very tight schedule. And that people are, for lack of a better word, pretty anal about it.
You may have heard about a deadly train crash 15 years ago at Amagasaki? Allegedly the driver had been reprimanded earlier for overshooting a platform where he was supposed to stop. Some accounts even claim he had to endure a sort of 're-education' camp. The investigators suspect he was running late, and was so afraid of suffering consequences like that again, he took a curve way too fast and derailed the train as a result.
Not sure if they since changed their policies, but you can see train personnel very visibly implement many safety rules and habits while they're working nowadays.
zJoriz I’ve always heard that because they are always perfectly on time, that people arrange their commute around it. Not sure about how it actually is though lol.
Those bullet train speeds are no joke.. obviously if timing is mismatched there could be a disaster
I have to admit, I'm really guilty of saying "sick" instead of "cool" >.< Bad habit I picked up while living in California. Loved this format for your above average day in your life heh. Also, didn't know you were left-handed! My wife and best friend are both left-handed as well. Totally funny seeing you and Ryotaro going through Yurakucho under the tracks, I used to shoot a ton of pics there. Grats on the award! Get your revenge on that Iron later! - Victor
As a Californian. I can vouch and say no one ever says that anymore. Thankfully.
only people who are hella cool say sick
Not true, many people still say it
Might be an area thing. For example, back in the late 90's, "the bomb" and "hella" were predominately Norcal things. Being a Socal native, we used sick quite a lot. I've been gone for the past 6 years in Japan, so who knows what is used now. For example, I recently learned that "in a minute" is slang now, which means something like "in a long time". Please correct me if I am mistaken though :) - Victor
Yeah "hella" is more used in Norcal. I feel like the use of the word "dope" has become more popular than it used to be. And yeah some people will say like "its been a minute since I did this"
Me: He's writing down Japanese text,
Sister: *He is a LEFTIE-*
Enjoyed this edit (17:25) where the sound of the door closing made it seem like you just donked Ryotaro in the head with the camera. :)
I didn't notice the mouth thing until you pointed it out. Stage-fright dry mouth is the worst!
Yeah, the door transition was pretty clever.
Heyo Chris!
After consuming dozens of videos on your channel, I just wanted to thank you sincerely for the inspiration I got from you.
I'm beginning my A-Levels now and after that I plan to do a gap year in Japan, do my studies back in Germany and then I'll probably work as a teacher in Japan.
Thanks to you, I'll be well prepared.
ありがとう！
Canadian here. Can confirm Maple Syrup makes oatmeal edible.
Chris learns how to iron - now that's an anime I would watch
a Slice of LIfe?
