Moving into my JAPANESE apartment 

They call me baka 😂

I was about to comment the same thing and I saw yours 😂

​@@bernoGarciado,6 we🎉😢7 in the k😂 ,z😮

😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you 🙏🏻

what? water? that's definitely not a thing 😆

@@Ccoolty haven't tried it out yet. But have heard the water thing from several people now

Thank you so much for the kind comment and support. Appreciate it. I actually already posted an update on my apartment check it out.

Thanks for your comment. Yes I wa slickly with my apartment, but also keep in mind I’m in Fukuoka which is cheaper then places like Tokyo,Kyoto etc. you are moving to Japan ? Exciting!! Wish you all the best.

@bernoGarcia Thank you! 😊 Yeah, I'm probably gonna have to get creative with where I relocate, Tokyo, Kyoto ect... are fashionable and exciting, but also super expensive for cost of living from what I've been told. Finding a place that's affordable that will rent to foreigners is going to be quite an adventure, lol! But, nothing worth anything is ever easy. 😊😊😊

@@MikiTheKat...InaHatsometimes I used “best estate Japan” (just Google it) they helped me get an apartment from abroad. Great service and all in English. Will cost you like two rents thou. Good luck

@@MikiTheKat...InaHatsometimes I have a family friend that lives in japan! I go back and forth on if I would ever move to japan. I can tell somethings are a culture shock But they probably think the same about our culture. Good luck and make sure your do your research and don't be afraid to ask questions.

@@Sasskitten wow great you get to go to Japan so often. What’s your favorite place in Japan ?

Go give it a try even if it's just for a week. You'll love it.

@@bernoGarcia I bet I will. Any places you recommend visiting?

@@zmileyy I spent my first year in Japan in Kyoto (2017) all Kansai area has a special place in my heart. Kyoto, Osaka , Lake Biwa. A must visit

@@bernoGarcia Thank you! Will def check them out and start saving money so I can visit 😂

Thanks man. Appreciate the comment. Once everything is furnitured,I’ll make an update

I hope I don’t have to go that far 😅😅

man's gotta be carefull even in Japan

@@berkekaan9118 hahah , nah the only thing passing my windows is pigeons sometime 😂😂

Yes I am also super happy with it. But don’t forget water, electrify, wifi, community fee is all extra . So I end up paying like 500$.

​@@bernoGarciastill.super cheap

What part of Japan are you?

@@MysticChick Fukuoka (Kyuushu)

Perhaps it's because of the cheap yen right now.

美味しそう。ありがとうございます。

Thank you so much for the comment. Yes I am pretty happy to. Where does your interest in Japan come from ?

Happy to see a comment from you Bensu. Thank you . 😊

Thanks for the kind comment. 🙏🏻☺️

Great are you moving to Fukuoka too ?

Thank you so much .

Thanks for the comment. Yeah I’m pretty happy with it

Woooow, thank you so much for all the detailed recommendations. ☺️🙏🏻

Thanks for the support. What city you wanna go to ?

@@bernoGarcia I would love to visit Tokyo, Osaka and maybe a couple of small towns/rural countryside places I’ve seen in Japanese dramas (it looks so pretty there and I'm loving the vibe)🤗 It's probably a good idea for me to learn a bit more Japanese though..Especially outside the big cities. I don't know how I'll get by only speaking English there🤔That’s a concern of mine. Hopefully I’ll be okay in Tokyo and Osaka. I’m looking forward to following your journey in Japan here on YT 🌸🇯🇵

Thanks for the comment. I’m in Fukuoka (Kyuusshu)

Had Fukuoka vibes (my hometown).

Thank you. Appreciate it. Two more videos planned for this week

Yes have heard about it .crazy

Really? My luck number is 4 lol I guess I will never go to Japan.

Superstition is silly. But I get it. 😅

Not anymore 😂😂 gotta clean the place 🧽 🧹

Thanks

Yes, I was just stupid, I just had to press a button to make it work in the apartment

Thank you very much

Awesome, you are moving to Japan too?

Thanks for the comment. Yeah I feel good. A bit empty my apartment yet but love living here

I just had to turn on the main switch

Appreciate the support thanks a lot 🙏🏻

Fukuoka is a bit easier than other cities . I’ve live in Kyoto for 1 year too. There I also live in a tiny shoebox 😂😂

生活は楽し。でも日本人の友達を作るのがまだ難しい。

@@bernoGarcia I found one great friend when I was living in Fukuoka in 2022 through hellotalk. I still talk to him to this day and I will definetly link up with him again when I move to Japan in October. I did not mean to flex on you with my one friend, but hellotalk is pretty OP!

It was suuuuuper hard. I spent two weeks traveling in several Japanese cities with all that luggage. 😂😂cool where are you going hope you have a great time.

yeah but like I said, with utilities and internet its like 500$. Also remember the yen is weak at the moment. So it's only "cheap" when you come from abroad.

Im still learning. Working towards intermediate level right now. Started in uni a few hours a week. And no in Japan taking it more serious. Hopefully become fluent one day. You learning Japanese too ?

At the same time it would have brought more spice into the video 😂😂 thanks for the comment

El pobre estaría adentro rezando todo lo que sabía por qué le iban a robar😂

@@marviga1119 jaja ojala no escucho nada

Klar der deutsch Akzent ist schnell rauszuhören 😂😂😂

Thanks for the kind words. Welcome to my channel

Danke für dein Kolmentar. Ja ist mir dann auch aufgefallen nach dem vlog 😂😂 wohin Japan wohnt ihr ?

そうですね。嬉しい

yes no refrigerator. Since I eat out all the time I haven't needed it thou. Might change since hot summer is coming. Thanks for watching. What do you like about Japan?

As far as I know , no numbers are skipped in Germany 🇩🇪

@@bernoGarcia well, they do it here because I guess long time ago 13 was an unlucky number and that just stuck. There are some other differences like in Japan the apartment buildings are more spacious then the ones in the US. That is because In the US it is required by law to have no less then two staircases or elevators and they got to be at both ends of the building but in Japan they are not required by law to have two or more staircases/elevators. I wish I could go to vacation in japan even if it is only one time in my whole life. Japan once had a huge arcade building that was designed to look like China's famous Kowloon Walled City that according to history looked like it really was a city in a big cube. Japan made replica of it and it looked pretty real but had arcade games and claw machines and other such fun things to do in there. It was located between Tokyo and Yokohama. It was called Amusement game Park Kawasaki Warehouse. If you ever seen the movie Dredd that kind of reminds me of it. But if I am ever do go to japan I can always see many other fun things. Like the Cup Noodles Museum. and I am a big fan of manga and anime and a big fan of Ninjas and samurai. Oh see if you can get one of those combination washer dryers they wash then dry your clothes. This way you don't always have to hang your clothes up.

Hey thanks for the comment . I actually lived of coin laundry for like 4 weeks😂 just bought a used laundry machine thou, pretty cheap and they even brought it to my place and installed it + 6 months warranty. Happy to give a new video update if my place once it looks better ☺️☺️ also other life hack. Someone told me you can rent a laundry machine in Japan.

Yes love it too

There are a few ones like gaijinpot. But I found my apartment on „best estate Japan“, a bit expensive but very good service.

Thank you. Yes I’m super happy. But + utilities and internet it’s like 500$

Thanks for the comment 😊

Great, I'll probably won't grill any fish in there, but look forward to make awesome toasts.

Thank you, yes couldn’t be happier

Yes I’m very happy with the size

Fukuoka

Staying in a student visa for at least a year to study the language. No, no slippers yet 😅

Thanks a lot for the comment. I will explore more of the city the next weeks. Look forward to it.

Ja bin auch froh über den Preis. Fensterbänke hab dich auch schon über Pflanzen nachgedacht gute Idee. Futon habe ich mittlerweile gekauft. Und wegen Grill, ja wurde mir schon von Klassenkameraden gesagt 😂😂😂 ich dachte da passt meine Pizza rein hahaha schade .

@@bernoGarcia Da empfehle ich entweder einen kleinen Mini-Backofen oder eine Mikrowellen-Backofen-Kombi. ^^ Da gibt es sogar welche, mit denen man dämpfen kann. Aber keine Ahnung, was die in Japan kosten. 🤔 Alternativ einen größeren Air Fryer anschaffen. Die sind auch vielseitig nutzbar. In meinen würde sogar so eine kleine Pizza (nicht die normale Größe) passen, auch wenn ich für hausgemachte Pizza eher meinen Mini-Backofen nutze. ^^

@@KardoganLR Ja True, hab auch schon in anderen Vlogs von andren Creator gesehen, dass die sich anscheinend alle so ein Mikrowellen-Backofen Ding kaufen. Scheint beliebt zu sein. Danke für den Tipp

@@bernoGarcia Scheint halt praktisch zu sein für Leute mit sehr wenig Platz, die aber eben Mikrowelle, Backofen und eventuell Dämpfer brauchen.

Yes it has become like my night table 😂😂love it. Keep in mind it’s 400$ without utilities and internet thou. It ads up ti around 500$

@@bernoGarcia still, good deal

Great, thanks for helping me out. I’ll try a toast soon :)

Thanks :)

Yes I rented without visiting. An agency helped me . Everything online just saw pictures of the place. I’m not a big fan of Tokyo for living and also had to come to Fukuoka because my school is here.

@@bernoGarcia Consider yourself lucky. I am in Tokyo myself so not sure how it is in other prefectures. In tokyo when renting cheap there are good options like yours, but there are also a lot of not so good places. You could feel much smaller than on pictures, or noisy or too old or anything else. So for people who watch this video and come to Japan i would recommend visiting places before renting it. Anyway good luck mate, hope you will make it👍

@@MrQwer1606 I've heard from many other people in Fukuoka that it's way cheaper here than in Tokyo. So makes sense you get something bigger for the same price. Also the agency who helped me was very professional and trustworthy I would say. But yes of course luck also plays a role.

Yes I’ve heard but haven’t really checked it out. What shops do you recommend ?

I realized that after recording too 😂😂😂

I knooooow 😩Thanks for watching

Great where, and how was it ?

😂

Fukuoka

Yes it’s spacious

I will :)

nope, gotta buy one. Right now I haven't needed it because I mostly eat out. But summer is coming and I might get one. Thanks for watching and the comment. What's your interest in Japan?

@@bernoGarcia I like so see rentals everywhere. Why is the apartments so small there?

Total. Komme aus Hamburg. Da würde ich für den Preis und die Größe nicht so nah am Zentrum wohnen.

Thanks for the comment , yes people keep telling me it’s for fish 😂😂 about the view , I really love it . I realized all other apartment on the same floor don’t have this view . Super happy

No it doesn’t 😅

@@bernoGarcia 😪

Thanks for the comment. Yeah happy I got that net

@@bernoGarcia Is your apartment behind the others on the floor? I'm trying to figure out windows on two sides. ...Or is that three sides?

​@@Tam.I.am. It's the only one with a view on my floor. All other apartments have other apartments left and right.

@@bernoGarcia So it is kind of behind the others. That's really neat! And yay, view. I had those in the last two apartments I lived in, and it was fun to bring friends to look out the window.

@@Tam.I.am. actually I was surprised about the view. Because the pictures I got from the apartment when I was still in Germany didn't show any view. But yeah I'm super happy about that.Where in Japan did you live?

It also works for steak(very thin wagyu) and pork belly.🤤

Danke dir, ja kann man. Ich klagen über die Wohnung. Noch bisschen leer aber. Ich mache ein Update Video sobald alle Möbel drin sind

Jeden Tag nutze ich das Ding

Wunderschön und groß für Japan! Hat die Küche auch nen Kühlschrank?

@@noname2122 Danke für dein Kommentar. Leider weder Kühlschrank noch Waschmaschine. Werde ich noch besorgen müssen.

@@noname2122 Leider kein Kühlschrank vorhanden. Aber bin noch nicht so sicher ob ich einen kaufe, esse meist draußen und wenn ich zuhause koche, dann reicht es wahrscheinlich wenn ich Essen für den Tag einfach kaufe.

no refrigerator, no laundry machine, no furniture at all. That's why it's a bit cheaper.

Woooow US rents are craaazy. I wouldn’t have much left after paying rent in Vegas 😂😂

Plus utilities and internet around $500, but still good

Like 15 minutes footwalk from Fukuoka main station 🚉

You would rent 2!! 😂😂😂 what would you do with so much space ?

ありがとうございます😊thanks for the comment

I barely have any clothes. It’s mostly equipment. And I’m not on the road I’ll stay here for at least a year.

Born in Ecuador 🇪🇨, raised in Germany 🇩🇪

Yeah … I was confused that day 😂😂

Yep no fridge. But since I’m eating outside all the time so far it hasn’t been a problem

@@bernoGarcia Keep an eye on your money; eating out all the time will devour it (so to speak). 😶 I'd love a place like that, though. I can't get an apt of any size for $400/month. I'm happy for you (and jealous; heh).

@@fenraven well keep in mind + utilities and internet it gets to a bit over $500

@@bernoGarcia Still a very good deal. Look at apt prices in the US. They are very, very high right now. Homeless people have exploded in every major city.

@@fenraven true USA is super expensive. But keep in mind Japanese Yen is super low right now. So this is maybe only "cheap" if you earn dollar/ euro. If you live in Japan and earn Yen it's probably not too cheap.

Yeah it was a tough day 😂

Yes I’m happy. But you gotta ad utilities and internet so it’s around 500 in the end

true. English is not my mother tongue 🤷🏻

@@bernoGarcia Ich weiß. Aber das ist mir nur so aufgefallen, das ist alles. Du sprichst perfekt Englisch. ❤️

@@JeanBaptisteDesJardins Perfekt würde ich nicht sagen, aber I try haha. Danke für dein Kommentar

@@bernoGarcia Ich bin Kanadierin/Brasilianerin und meine Traumreise ist Japan. Ich lebe in Kanada. Wie ist dein Leben dort bis jetzt? Ich hoffe, du machst mehr Videos darüber, wie du lebst. Ich habe ein bisschen Deutsch bei einem Schweizer Onkel gelernt. Nachdem er gestorben ist, habe ich nicht mehr geübt und alles vergessen. I speak English and French. If you ever want to practice. I am trying to take up my Japanese studies. Hopefully one day I can spend a few months in Japan like you, as a student.

Also I would love to see videos of your Japanese learning journey from now on, now that you have your apartment. Also why Japanese? When did you start learning etc?

Ja man findet sicher auch was für 400-500€ in Deutschland nur halt schwerer. Dafür sind halt andere Dinge in Japan schwierig. Und nicht vergessen, Japaner verdienen in Yen , was weniger wert ist als € gerade. Für Japaner ist diese Wohnung also gefühlt teurer als wie für uns.

Since I eat out all the time so far it has been no problem. Might get one later thou.

What a start 😂

Gott sei Dank nicht haha

Makes sense, I’m just baka

100$ more

Hey Nancy, thanks for your comment and the support. Appreciate it. I actually bought a laundry machine already. Check out my latest video where I show the stuff that I have bought for my apartment so far. Thanks for tuning in

Yes gotta buy all by myself

What Screen ?

Aaaaah you mean in my balcony right?? no wonder it's just like paper and I hear every step of my neighbor when his walks on his balcony. Thank you :)

@@bernoGarcia Just one thing if possible. If you have to go through that wall go full Kool-Aid man, not sure if 'OH YEAH' will translate with the same effect though

Das stimmt, dafür verdient man im Schnitt hier auch weniger als in Deutschland. Kommt fast aufs selbe hinaus.

Nope. In Germany to close a door you turn keys counterclockwise.
