Greetings and welcome to my new ongoing series of vlogs about my life in rural Japan.

Thanks to all the great comments and enthusiastic responses to my JET vlogs, I've decided to keep making vlogs about various aspects of living in Shimane prefecture - my adopted home for the past 4 years.

So I hope you find this new series enjoyable and interesting. As always, I look forward to your comments and ratings.

During the video I mention a few of my fellow Japan-based vloggers. Here is a short list of some of the vlogs I watch and enjoy on a regular basis:

  • i bet even with that 32C the water is still cold O_O

  • @3lprim0 yeah - my friend tried to surf in Shimane and often used a wetsuit, but between July and September, the water is warm enough to go in with just a bathing suit.

  • Did someone from JET take u shopping and stuff, becuase that seems really nice.

  • No, I took the other new JETs shopping, since I have a car and know my way around the town and they were all brand new to Izumo at the time.

  • hey there i have just applied for the JET 2010 programme. I recently found out that there is quite a lot of snakes in Japan which I was shocked. In my application I said I wouldn't mind living in rural Japan but I don't know whether I could cope with snakes. do they come in the house?

    p.s your videos are amazing, it looks beautiful over there!

    We don't have snakes where I come from!

  • Yeah - there are snakes - they like to hang out in the rice fields and the farmers have to be careful.  I never saw a snake near my rural apartment complex, but I did get the occasional, harmless lizard in my house.

  • Why do Japanese people always give the "peace" sign in photographs? What's going on there?

  • @myargonauts i went to brightone(idk if is how it spells)-england when put a foot in the water it was like wha..the it was summer time and i said man this is not the caribean O_O

  • @TerriMC2020 nah is not that bad, having some random snakes is better than some random guy who shoots you just for fun or dance his girl or look at her o_o

  • The windmills look like they might be from the danish firm vestas. Each windmill powering many homes with electricity.
