[PEDRO22000]

ey posatrocible isn't everything expensive in japan?? that's what i've heard so how do you support yourself over there?? do you really get a lot of money working as a teacher?? please answer thanks :)

[Posatrocible]

PEDRO22000: Good question! Well, actually, the cost of living isn't too bad here. If you are traveling around it can be really expensive, but once you settle and work in a place, things even out pretty quick. Hope that helps!

[KonanByAkatsuki]

I envy you a lot!!! =D

could I ask u a question?is japanese language hard to learn?

[tifachick]

Did you say that you could eat raw chicken?

I thought you got salmonela from that?

I just wanted to know because I am going on a trip to Japan for 10 days with my Japanese GCSE class.

Then me and my boyfriend want to go on the JET Scheme together. ^_^

[Posatrocible]

tifachick: Right!?? Yeah, I was pretty shocked when I first tried it. In the end, it wasn't really my thing, but Joel loves it.

Good luck on JET! It's a blast if you get in a good area with good folks. It can be hard if you get a bad placement...

[tifachick]

Thank you! ^_^

I hope it'll be good!

When you went on the JET Scheme, did you know much japanese?

[noobleus9]

so any tips?

[Posatrocible]

noobleus9: I am nothing of a ladies man... I just find being as genuine and honest as possible helps. Oh, and knowing enough Japanese to carry on some easy conversation is important. Good luck... sorry I can't be more helpful.

[noobleus9]

@Posatrocible thanks but it didnt work so i switched my sights...sorry for the reallllllly late response but i havent been on in a while but anyway thanks for your advice

[noobleus9]

hey dudes ne tips on how to find a gf in japan i try and she always rejects me =,(

[hathwell]

im sorry i couldn't resist... the guy with the shaved head is so hot!!

[nightmareimage]

so...i have a question Posatrocible. Where is the best place to move to in Japan? I'm going to move there when I graduate. And I'm already learning Japanese...with an earworm mp3/iPod like thing. I was just wondering where the best place to move is. That's all...

[cupwithhandles]

I like the out-door yakitori joints in Ueno that open around 5:00pm, and getting liquored up and wasted - My Japanese wife doesn't like them but I dig them alot.

[Posatrocible]

cupwithhandles: Yeah! Those are great fun. They have a lot of "yattai" style outdoor ramen, yakitori, etc places in Fukuoka. They are super!

[ontayloro20]

Cool, the Izakaya looks like great fun. Its definately my kind of restaurant, good food and lots of it! =D

Thanks for another great video!

[vincentdcl]

[ishaan55]

I love all of your videos, Matt. I'm from Vancouver myself. It doesn't look like our boys are going to make it to the playoffs this season.

But anyways, I just wanted to know where you met all of your friends. Are they all your co-workers?

Keep up the excellent work!

[rollinmitchell1]

That all looks delicious but I might have to pass on the raw horse

[kklloopp]

how do u become a citizen in japan is it hard?

[Posatrocible]

kklloopp: To become a citizen of Japan... yeah, if you wanted to get to a point where you could vote in elections and things like that, it's pretty tough indeed. It depends on your line of work, your marriage status, etc.

[sinsofruin]

looks like lots of fun :D!

Oita's the same location where you taught at right?

[Posatrocible]

sinsofruin: Yup! Oita is where I have lived and taught for the last 7 years-ish. Not too big, not too small... juuuuuuuuust right. =)

[NullnV01d]

Hey that looks like good fun and a great thing to do when your with a big group of friends.

Out of interest is there a way people tend to split the bill at the end? I'm guessing it's just the total cost divided by the amount of people or do people pay less if they have less(like the water drinker :D) ?

[Posatrocible]

NullnV01d: Thanks! And good question... almost always, it's "wariken" or dividing the bill evenly among everyone. Alcoholic drinks in an Izakaya tend to be about the same price as soft drinks, so even non-drinkers can keep up value-wise.

Also, can someone tell me where I can find this mysterious water-drinker!? Hehe... it seemed like everyone was drinking beer, chu-hi, or shochu.

[NullnV01d]

Thanks. I didn't actual see the water drinker just read it in another comment and it got me thinking although I think that's him at 8:33 on about the 5th Kanpia! hehe

[xepher99]

Kanpai!!!!

[cabbageninja]

I love your videos!

I came back from Japan over the summer, watching these makes me want to go back so much :)

[Posatrocible]

cabbageninja: Thanks so much! When you get back to Japan, please try to make your way down to Oita =)

[cruelke]

Nice Vid gratz :)

That is a special way to eat salad :)

[Posatrocible]

cruelke: lol yes, I can't help clowning. Thanks for your comment! =)

[summerrain5]

lol the one guy with the glass of water while everyone else has beer. designated drivers rock.

[SquashyJohnson]

That drummer stuffed his sock

[Pyralis1]

That was awesome, looks like so much fun! :D

Just one question, Matt. How well are you received while taking videos in public places in Japan? Are people really shy in front of the camera, or have you ever been asked to stop filming for any reason or anything like that? Or is it the case that people don't seem to mind? If it's a mixture of the two then how often does each occur? Just curious.

Anyways, thanks for another great video, I look forward to your next one! :D

[Posatrocible]

Pyralis1: Thanks! Oh, and great question... lessee...

I haven't been asked to stop filming, but I am fairly careful to ask 1st. For example, I talked to the manager at lagu lagu (karaoke) if it was alright to film.

I don't mean to be vindictive, but Japanese people spend enough time staring at us, it's only fair we get some pay back! =) Hehe, just kidding, but honestly most people probably figure I am a tourist trying to get footage for back home, so they don't seem to mind.

[mattbryson23]

One thing, I found that a couple places were offended of me taking photos of an "omamori" stand or a charm shop -- commonly found in or near temples and shrines. Also, inside stores (especially in Tokyo for some reason) they really don't like it. So it depends; always ask first.

[nimyo]

Very good video! Made me smile and want to eat pigs & stuff.

[Posatrocible]

lol, I am glad you enjoyed it! Apparently Okinawa is the place to go for pig...

[afronathan]

The song is by Ai Otsuka the song is called Sakuranbo

Love the video, thanks for the info as always Nathan
