More Tips on Surviving Your First Hour in Japan Life Where Im From X 2018-02-21 | So, I made a Japanese travel guide video about what to do in the first 60 minutes after landing in Japan youtu.be/IsngamFa1ps. There were a LOT of questions plus some very helpful tips given by the community. I wanted to share them with you, so here you go. The guide I reference, with most of the links, is at http://bit.ly/LWIF1HOURGUIDE. The only thing I know isn't in there is Hyperdia for transportation routing, which you can find at http://www.hyperdia.com/en/. And oh yeah, here's the link to the Japan Travel Wiki on Reddit reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/wiki/faqs/japantravel.

Will an expensive rice cooker make rice tastier? Life Where Im From X 2023-05-05 | A simple test of a few rice cookers and a couple types of rice to see if price makes a difference.Just a short note.

This was simply a little experiment with our family and friends. We hope it gives you a basic insight into Japanese rice and rice cookers.Main channel: youtube.com/c/lifewhereimfrom Video Gear I Use 📷 Camera: http://amzn.to/2C1Ufsw 📷 Drone: amzn.to/2GAURv8 📷 Wide Lens: http://amzn.to/2BcJCGJ 📷 Prime Lens: http://amzn.to/2C2LEpt 🎤 Microphone: http://amzn.to/2BJi114 📺 Monitor: http://amzn.to/2E8XzUI 📷 All the rest: kit.com/lifewhereimfrom/youtube-filming-gear Connect 🗲Patreon: patreon.com/lifewhereimfrom 🗲Website: http://www.lifewhereimfrom.com 🗲Facebook: facebook.com/lifewhereimfrom 🗲Instagram: instagram.com/lifewhereimfrom 🗲Twitter: twitter.com/lifewhereimfrom

Working in Japan | Full Interview Version Life Where Im From X 2018-03-09 | I've never worked in Japan. I mean I work in Japan, but I work from my home and have never needed Japanese language or workplace skills. But I do know people who have, so I set up interviews with 8 of them to see what their experiences were like. All of them worked in the "real" Japanese workplace, from small, modern companies to big traditional ones. Or in other words, they worked jobs that didn't involve teaching English. They needed to be proficient in the Japanese language and business culture. All the interviewees speak English, have lived outside of Japan for some period of time, and have University degrees. So these are not your typical Japanese workers, let's just be ultra clear on that. But I think they do help give insight into what it's like working in Japan and how it compares to working in a global or Western workplace.This is the long version of the interviews. For the short 30 minute version please check it out at youtu.be/4fTrOmDrDgU **CORRECTION: It's illegal to not pay overtime, even for full-time employees. There can be some exceptions for management. So I was wrong in saying that full-time employees don't typically get paid overtime. Sorry for the screw up.

Would you do a Documentary About War? Q+A v1 Life Where Im From X 2018-02-25 | In this month's Q+A about life in Japan, I answer the following questions:- When you're out in the city and want a quick meal, what restaurant or food would you recommend?- If someone at school asked your kids what your work is, what would they answer?- What in your life has changed most since moving to JapanOften in the western world there is a bit of stigma around jobs such as retail working, working at fast food places, receptionists, etc etc. They are thought off as bad jobs and something for teenagers, retirees, uneducated people, lazy people, you get the picture. Particularly the middle class seem to promote this stigma. Is it similar in Japan?- Is your family watching the Olympics much?- I'd like to see you go to an alpaca farm!- Would you consider doing a documentary on the war?- Can you talk a bit about the difference between JR and the local city metros?- In one of your videos I remember noticing that one of the girls was very clearly writing with her left hand. Now, I'd always understood that Japan has traditionally come down very heavily on naturally left-handed children, more or less forcing them to use their right hand for writing etc. Is this no longer the case?- What plans do you have for Aiko and Shin's future education?I used to only record the answers for Patreon supporters, but I wanted to start sharing with everyone, since not everyone is able to financially contribute.

Service in Japan vs Canada Life Where Im From X 2017-04-23 | After living in Japan for four years, I find myself back in Canada for a bit, and there's one thing I can't help but notice: the difference level of service between both countries. To simply put it, Japan's standard of service is higher and more consistent, whereas in Canada, it's more hit and miss, more DIY.If you'd like to support our mini-documentaries, we have a Patreon account patreon.com/lifewhereimfrom.

It allowed me to capture scenes I normally wouldn't as I was walking from one place to another. It's not completely smooth though, as a lot of footage has some bounce if you pay attention. If I would have walked with a more ninja-like step, I probably could have cut it down somewhat.People not staring:The nice thing about the handheld stabilizer, is that it wasn't as obvious when I was filming, due to way I was holding it. People did look at the camera here and there, but not as much as if I would have used a tripod, or if I stuck my face behind the camera at all times. Depending on where I was, I would just hold the camera at stomach level and not look at the camera, so you wouldn't know I was filming. It probably looked like I was carrying my camera going from one place to the next as opposed to looking like I was actively filming. Face masks:Totally anecdotal, but I hear half the reason is to wear while sick to prevent spread of germs, half is to not get sick, and if a lady is wearing, it may be because she didn't feel like putting on makeup. Air quality is fine, no problem there.Camera setup:Sony a7sii with Sony 16-35mm f4, 24-240mm f3.5-5.6, and 55mm f1.8 lenses. Most is shot using the 16-35mm lens.kit.co/lifewhereimfrom/youtube-filming-gear Connect● Life Where I'm From X Channel: http://bit.ly/ytlwifx● Website: http:www.lifewhereimfrom.com● Facebook: facebook.com/lifewhereimfrom● Instagram: instagram.com/lifewhereimfrom● Twitter: twitter.com/lifewhereimfromMusic:Epidemic Sound http://www.epidemicsound.comMorning Drive 1 - Peter SandbergChillseekers 3 - Niklas GustavssonManhattan - Cecilia LindhEchoes 5 - Johannes BornlöfHead Nod Supreme 1 - Jack ElphickUrban Transitions 1 Remix - Jimmy WahlsteenNerdy But Cool Beat 9 - Jonatan JärpehagSleeptalk - Sandra BrostromElectronic Twitch 4 - Gunnar JohnsénNerdy But Cool Beat 6 - Jonatan JärpehagMidnight Grooves 1 - Axel LjungGetting Tipsy 2 - Martin LandhElectric Documentary Tax 2 - Björn SkogsbergA Figure Of Speech 2 - Peter Sandberg

12 Little Things I Like About Living in Japan Life Where Im From X 2016-08-24 | Previously I made a video regarding my 10 pet peeves about living in Japan. While they were very minor complaints I had when I first moved, I just wanted to point out that these were small things that really don't bug me and would never stop me from living here. That being said, there are some big concerns I have with my family being in Japan, as well as some big reasons why I love living in Japan. Today I won't talk about either of those big pros and cons.Instead, I'm going to do the opposite of the pet peeves video and discuss 12 little things I like about living in Japan. Stuff that didn't make me move here, but stuff that I enjoy nonetheless.We now have a Patreon page to help fund our social documentaries about Japan patreon.com/lifewhereimfrom.Website Post: http://bit.ly/LWIFXEP14Visit www.lifewhereimfrom.com to find out more about the episode and to share your stories about what life is like where you're from.Main Life Where I'm From Channel: youtube.com/c/lifewhereimfromFacebook: facebook.com/lifewhereimfromInstagram: instagram.com/lifewhereimfromTwitter: twitter.com/lifewhereimfrom
