I Spent 72 Hours Locked in a Japanese Hotel Room 

For a second, I thought he did this out of choice, and I didn't even question it

6:37 "It's me, your morning view!" One of those unexpected fanservice moments in anime

"don't die in the room, that would be inconvenient" - Japan 101.

“They have *Florida* ,why the heck do *we* need to quarantine?” You know what, that’s a solid argument

I love how the food looks like they've just googled food around the world and pieced the first 10 things they saw together into one tray amazing :')

Connor isn't voluntarily torturing himself for once, what a surprise!

After listening to the Trash Taste Quarantine episode and watching this, I can't help but think about Garnt's quarantine experience versus Connor's. It would have been hilarious if there was a insert of Garnt and Sydney in their big queen suite, classical music playing in the background and they are laughing at peasants . Then it immediately cuts back to Connor.

They can't blame me if I carefully and absent-mindedly lock myself out of the room. I was just following instructions.

Is this the true definition of insanity? CDwag cracks the case

The announcer's voice is positively dystopian. Feels like Connor is competing in the Hunger Games or the Purge

I just finished my 8 day quarantine in Jakarta Indonesia, could you even imagine that man 🤣 hope to be back in Japan again 👏🏼

*Connor talking about his sorted trash* Me: Is that Midoriya on those drink bottles?

Connor on that grind making a quarantine Hotel into content 😎

As a translator, I love the translations, it’s a nice reminder of why people should hire translators

Connor: "The UK has to stay for 3.5 days. ...so America--" Me: "We probably stay for a week or something stupid." Connor: "--doesn't have to stay in a quarantine hotel..." Me: *surprised Pikachu face* Please wearing a mask and careful absentmindedly locked yourself out of your room.

"They have Florida, why do we have to quarantine?" That's a very good question

They really just wake this man up every single day like he's a Squid Games employee

I just moved to Japan as a JET and we had a pretty similar experience with a few key differences. Our quarantine lasts for TWO WEEKS but we can move freely throughout the hotel but are STRONGLY discouraged from dining at any restaurants or congregating in groups to chat. There's a garden we can go to for some fresh air but masks MUST stay on. The food they give us is uhh... Well, lets just say I've chosen to buy almost all my meals from Lawsons. Anyway, glad to see you made it back to Japan Connor!

*Conner doing basic human functions* Conner: it's weird, I'm not used to it.

Connor: My husband and I broke up...tune in next time when we get back together. Me: Ah, so a new Chris and Connor video soon, gotcha.

Those announcements legit, make that hotel seem like a dystopian prison

Chris comparing airline food , saying its better, clearly has never had food on an american airline flight. They ask you chicken or steak? what they really mean is rubber or wood.

I don’t know how I feel about Connor recording himself waking up when on the latest trash taste episode he let everyone know he sleeps naked lmao

At this point I'm sure Connor has spent more time on hotels and motels that I'll ever spend in my entire life.

It's almost been 2 full years and I miss just being in the business Hotel.

I got quarantined at a hotel in Malaysia for 14 days last year. My room has no windows so naturally I went insane after a week of seeing no sunlight. Eagerly waiting for food is definitely relatable.

Reminds me of the 24-day solitary pre-release quarantine I had to do before leaving the Feds...twice.

"It's fucking dreadful" The way Connor looked when he said that, and the way he said it, it reminded me of Gordon Ramsay lol

This is literally what most of your viewers do but they stay inside their room instead of a hotel

Omg your streaming room looks so good!! Looks really clean because of the posters frames in glass and purple led strip!

You managed to make this extremely entertaining. Good on ya for finding content in your quarantine.

Connor: "I forgot what this is called." Monkes: "What a cinnamon roll."

Idk why I'm still shocked to see Connor pants-less when we've literally watched him strip in cosplay videos

Just watched this video today. Good one! Quarantine is quite the experience. I spent 14 days in a very small and pretty crappy hotel room last year when I returned to Shanghai. The weirdest days of my life. Banging on the door in the morning, lunch and evening for COVID testing and sad meals. Will be nice when we can travel freely without quarantines. :-)

I haven't even finished watching this yet, but it's really making me feel SUPER excited about my 2 WEEK quarantine in Japan in December.

your voice. it’s a good one.

As someone who just stays in their room 24/7, if i got internet that sounds like an absolute win

conner this type of video is great and I personally think it fits you and your channel very well.

Lmao, I was almost expecting to see “REDRUM” and “All work and no play makes Connor a dull boy” to be written all over the walls after the 3rd day.

"I'm unbelievably tired and jetlagged!" - Conner who is probably suffering from obscene caffeine withdrawal AND Jetlag

I'm just imagining the hotel staff just walking by throughout the day and just hearing a man talk to himself all day, while randomly crying and laughing at times.

Idk why but I find this video really comforting to watch. As in, I always go back to this whoever I have nothing to watch - probs watched this more than 10x

I've been in a quarantine hotel last year when I came to austraia for uni, I was there for 14 days but the rules are a lot more loose compared to your experience, we even got a "social area" with a POOL (yes you can go swimming) for us travelers if we ever feel like we need some fresh air lol, all we have to do is call the front desk for reservation and a police will come and walk you there. I also got two queen beds. I was by myself. imagine you're by yourself in a room with two huge beds. It's pretty weird. But the experience was better than fine, the food was good, they got a menu that changes every three days you can pick what you want to eat, and everything is free, it was like going on a vacation without the going outside part.

Don't let the fact that we almost see Connor naked multiple times deter you from the fact that bungee gum has both the properties of both rubber and gum

Connor: *talks about how he feels like a pet waiting for food* *talks about how he could roam the countryside back home*

Between the announcements over the intercom and the food being delivered to you mysteriously, this made me think of some kind of dystopian sci-fi movie. 😆

Didn’t realise I needed this video so bad. Oh, I’m not travelling or anything. I just needed my dose of Connor! Love you lots!!! 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

Conner eating salad, trapped in his cage, just adds to his cute hamster-like appeal 😄

How to tell the level of implicit trust in Japanese society: the hotels actually trust you with full hotels of shampoo. In America those would be gone in 30 seconds.

Connor: I love the outdoors also Connor: does an entire series just reviewing love hotels

Thanks Connor, most of your video always make my day❤️

Connor hoarding his coffee for the last day...like he can't request more....

I've now seen a few videos of people who actually had to stay the full 14 days on various countries and I'm not sure how they managed to stay sane when Connor already started showing first signs of madness after a bit over 3 days.

As someone who's done their fair share of hospitalization and quarantining, this seems like an amazing experience. You're telling me you get to keep your clothes and pens???

That morning Japanese announcement somehow manages to be both cute and creepy dystopian at the same time.

Aside from the bureaucracy, Japan's hotel quarantine seems pretty good. 3 days is nothing compared to the mandatory 14 days in many countries, some of which actually charge you for it (because unless its essential travel, its at your expense). The hotel room, whilst small, seems quite decent.

As a former Florida man, Florida is literally just a poorly moderated g-mod Dark RP server.

I did the full two weeks in a hotel!! It was hell, but also my hotel was an “apartment hotel” so it was equipped with a kitchen, and was roughly the size of a small 1DK, and bath/toilet were separate. If I had to spend the two weeks in a business hotel I’m pretty sure I would’ve jumped out of the window hahaha

Favorite part was the hotel food reviews lol didn't know I needed it until now 😂

As an introvert I'm ok with quarantine, as long as there'll be some internet connection. Connor is an extrovert and this was so much pain for him.

This looks like a human experiment documentary on Connor losing his sanity in 3 days. The depressing arc in antagonist story.

**Connor has to stay in quarantine hotel for 72 hours** Also Connor: "It's free real estate"

I work in an assessment centre and had a moment when you said you had someone test positive and they were letting you go in 3 days. While we don't have hotel quarantine at the moment, we have a testing SERIES required for positive contact to make sure things don't slip through. Also, I was surprised they didn't go full PCR.

Connor: *gets a Hambagu for his first meal* The Hotel Management: "Good Morning, Sir. It has been delivered" Garnt somewhere: "kufufufu Excellent! all according to keikkaku"

I just got shocked by the fact that the Japanese government is providing quarantine hotel rooms and food for free. Meanwhile before August 9th of 2021 in Canada, you had to pay for the quarantine hotel rooms and food out of your own pocket.

ah i remember i was out in Texas doing volunteer work and had to go to the hospital. Then the company i worked for made me quarantine for 2 weeks in a derelict classroom where there was only one cot, a chair, and a small mirror. let me tell you though. quietly singing we like to party while waiting for a meal? peak quarantine experience.

Don't know but I was also sick and was not enjoying my meals so seeing Connor do the same was kinda satisfying 🤣

My dream job is the guy who gets to read over bad English translations and make them readable. I call it a dream job because I've never seen evidence that it exists

Showing the ins and outs of every single type of hotel imaginable was not the content we deserve, but the stuff we enjoy.

bro I feel your pain, last month when i arrived at the airport i got quarantined for 6 days, and the food they would bring me not only smelled HORRIBLE but it was extremely cold and unedible. I legit had stomach aches every time i would try the food they would bring. but i guess beggars can't be choosers

This is so dystopian it's actually chilling.

Connor can never be in jail Imagine him just giving score to everything while in jail

Connor just basically monetized his quarantine/lockup where he couldn't technically work in his usual way. Big brain.

Coming back from the UK to HK was an absolute nightmare. I went home twice, once for Christmas and another for Summer holidays. First, you would have to do a test at Heathrow before you boarded (you had to be at the airport at 6 since they may have delays), then they would but a tracking tag on your wrist (they didn't do this the second time) and give you a sandwich and some bottles of water because you would have to do another test at the HK airport because you weren't allowed to leave if you didn't have your results (we had to sit at a closed off section of the airport for 9 hours the first time, the second time was better, around 5 hours but still) then after you receive your results, then you go through customs get taken to your quarantine hotel. The second time was quite similar because you would have to line up at your respective queues according to which hotel you booked (which you pay for yourself) and then you would have to stay in your hotel room for 14 days straight (21 the second time). You would do 3 tests throughout the quarantine by officials every week. But they would still give you food outside the door and they would ring your doorbell notifying you the food is outside, for trash you get trash bags and you're allowed to leave the filled bags outside at 2 everyday, you were allowed to get things from your family/friends through the staff and you're allowed to get takeout so yeah I could get McDonalds :)

I was quarantined for 2 months in France as everything shut down as soon as I got there before travelling back to London. I was only allowed out 1 hour per day to run to the market which was completely empty of products and the queue was circling all the way around the car park. It was hell... I had to write a full letter reasoning why I am outside and the room was literally like 24m2 .... I lost my mind!

Connor: *Complains about Japanese breakfast* *Also complains about the westernish meal he gets* Everyone: *Confusion*

"I am 5ft 10, I am not very tall." me crying in 5ft 4...

I did this for entry to Korea Longest 2 weeks when it was happening but afterwards it all blurred to feel like one feverish night

I could no problem spend 4 days cooped up in my room, but just knowing I can’t open the window would drive me into hyperventilation madness.

connor: *takes his temperature* 36.1 me an uncultured american: excuse me wha- celsius right, jesus christ

I have been stuck in a quarantine room for 2weeks and I even saw some people online going hungry/ no food given to them but we had a fresh air that is as big as our room

Welp, the rules changed again and we have to do a mandatory quarantine in hotel. I was sooo stressed about it but at least this video made things more clear, and while it still sounds bad I can at least prepare. Thank you so much for this.

totally disappointed, at no point in time you absent mindedly locked yourself out of the room as it was requested from you :(

Others getting quarantined after travelling :- It's so BORING !!! Meanwhile Connor :- Ah yes, free content

This is just Quarantine with extra steps... AMAZING

Thanks CDawg for making this video. My fiancee just went back to Japan for a month and thank God we watch this. It mentally prepared her for the 3 days and yes, it looked exactly like this room, but her view was the centre courtyard.

I deployed to Africa last year and spent when we got there we were locked in shipping crates with an a/c unit and bed with no WiFi for 72 hrs. So this seemed like luxury to me

People coming from America don't have to quarantine like this? Why is that?

Don't underestimate the psychological challenge of confinement, with no fresh air, no human contact, and no room to move. Take away the window, clock, and internet and you've got yourself a nice little torture tank there. I would have probably disassembled the bed to get it out of the way to have room to do floor exercises.

Funny thing is, I CAN imagine being stuck in a hotel for that long, cause I am currently in two week quarantine in Tokyo and I've been getting meals that look exactly like that haha lol but I too miss the fresh air :') and I can concur that mysos is terrible lol and the random staring into the abyss while it records you slowly kills me every time

As an immigrant having lived in the UK for years, hearing Connor sing that Vengaboys song at 21:24 while slowly going insane, is the most niche British thing I've ever seen him do lol.

Seems like Japanese breakfast has two requirements: Food. Morning.

"They have Florida, how in the f*ck do we have to quarantine!?" Ya know, I can't argue with that logic

As an American "They Have Florida" is the most justifiable frustration I seen 😆😆😆

The fact Connor didn't make a sandwich with the roll filled me with rage.

"ive stayed in much worse" after seeing connor and chris's video... yeah this is miles better

3 days?! Mate I went through the exact same quarantine but 14 days instead..... Though my room was much more spacious and I get to open the sliding door of my balcony (yes, I have an actual balcony) to introduce some fresh air.

I know the feeling, being almost 3 months locked in my room due to long covid. Every little space to walk is GOLD. Anyway, that bureaucracy sounds so unsettling omg. I couldn't go through it.

Connor is really out here making a 26 minute video from literally doing nothing, definitely impressive

Connor: “Here’s some tea and coffee” Me: LETSSSSS GOOOOOOOO THEY HAVE NESCAFEEE
