It's actually only been so-so. Most people who visit treat this place like a theme park, but living here is a completely different story. I had to apply and pay for national health insurance, apply for an alien registration card, etc. I also need a phone, but no one will give me one until I set up a Japanese bank account, so I need to do that too. Then I'll have to start paying bills. And this is just some of the stuff I've been doing. If you watched both videos, what you didn't see was us getting turned down by Softbank in both Shibuya and Harajuku, which is pretty much why we were in those areas. Some of this stuff is start up procedure, but it's still a pain in the ass.

But this is pretty much the real world anywhere else, just a bit more beaurocratic. Everyday is not anime and pocky and manga and cosplay like many people think, or even worse, want to believe.

New post! A friend's birthday at an izakaya.

This video is rated Mature for drinking and some profanity, just so you're aware.

New video!
YouTube - Don Quixote

If you're active on YouTube, tell me what you think! Feedback is appreciated.

This video has slight mature subject matter, for your information.

Hmmm...Well they're both about 6 minutes long. I signed off on my account and tried watching the videos as a unique new user and they worked fine. Maybe your computer is just acting up, unless someone else can confirm your problem.
