I'll be joining you soon. Don't worry about the foreigner discrimination, in all honesty, I probably wouldn't want to rent to foreigners either and I'm not Japanese.
YOu need AI translator.... take a pic of contract and let chatGPT handle it.
how much does it cost to setup everything??
nice. was it hard to dispose of all the move in waste (boxes/plastics, etc) out there?
The C mode is so true. Best function of my R5, who has 6 presets. You can have C1,2,3 photo, quick switch to video using the info button and now video C1,2,3 with entirely different settings...
To much noise in any Japanese home can lead you to losing your Contract to live there. Found that out the hard way back in 2019, with my partner.
Noise was big factor when searching for my apartment. Luckily I managed to find this one that has concrete walls and floors. It’s been very quiet in terms of neighbours over the last 6 months, yet my brain is still wired from my noisy London flat causing me to creep around quietly anyway 😅 Sorry to hear your contract was cut short though - that’s rough!
@@joeallam Found a nice place in the country side, miles from anyone, so party every night from then on, well not every night.
how much is your apartment cost? Is it rental or you bought it.?
Such a great video! Super chill. Loved it. That donut - was that an okara donut?? Bc I looove the Japanese okara donuts and since Okinawa is famous for tofu - maybe they have them in Ishigaki? (Am going in a few weeks)
loved this :) Berlin is a very love-hate place for me, but I know exactly what you mean about hyper-politicised sticker culture
I feel you. I'm going though the same. Just relocated to Tokyo the first of August and took me 6 months finally find an apartment. Rejected 3 times! But now settling in. I just had my furniture shipped from the US and pleasantly surprised on how easy it was, just need patients, time and planning. Going through the same with naviagating all the payment processes as you say are in Japanese and it has taken some time to figure it out. Still not all figured out. Just have to be patient, but I love it here! Really happy now that I'm getting settled in. Good Luck Joe. Seen you series on Made in Japan. Love them.
生活の全てを最初から揃える動画は楽しい👏🏻長く使える良い物を買い揃えましたね！あのトースターは私もずっと欲しいと思ってた🍞
x100 - 12megapixle x100s, x100t had 16 megapixlel Lens i V i sharper only on close distance
I hear foreigners get turned down for apartments because a lot of places have issues with foreigners not paying rent before they leave Japan and going back to their home country
More night photography vlogs plz
Excellent video.
You should definitely look into emulators on your phone especially with that little controller setup! Congrats on your move!!
This is not only a quality video (of course) but also entertaining. Loved it. I need to get to see Fuji in person.
Yes, but the 16-55 is too heavy for vlogs. I only use it for stills when I need very high sharpness. But for video it is much more than I need. That's why it's better to have light prime lenses and it's better to have them stabilized.
I am an Olympus and Sony camera user. I'm Japanese, and I often travel abroad. But the reason I don't leave Japan is because there are so many scenery I want to photograph.
@Joe Allam, Japanese do not discriminate you when renting apartments. They know that foreigners has the tendency to be loud, rude and careless, compared to Japanese people in general. Gaijin (a white/ western foreigner) gave them the stigma of being rude, dirty and careless... Therefor they group all Gaijin together and don't wish to rent them the apartments. They very much care what their neighborhood. And the neighbors think of them. It is same in Europe and the states. We don't want the wrong tenants..... It's. Not discrimination.
You've quite literally just gone out of your way to describe the discrimination _exactly_ 😂 You are stating that because someone fits into a certain demographic (where they're from), they must therefor *all* be the same (rude, dirty and careless).
You are discriminating and no, it is not the same in europe.
I can appreciate the enthusiasm and welcome to Japan. That said, watching this video can’t help but remind me of Fight Club. Wonder if he’s seen it 🤷♂️
MUJI 最高！
I shot pictures everyday for about 2 weeks in that area. The scenes were gorgeous, especially around 4PM: great light and a more relaxed atmosphere as people are shutting down their workshops.
Just came across your channel and this video was a great watch. Reminded me of the feeling of setting everything up for myself not very long ago - excited and overwhelmed at the same time. Would the Muji TV cabinet not have made the cut?
Probably the coolest looking camera store I have ever seen. My bank account is very lucky that the store is on the other side of the world 😂
Is it easy to buy tickets on the day of the game? We want to go to a game there in a months time. Maybe have to pre book.
If the game is on a weekday, there is a good chance you can purchase tickets on the same day. However, if it is a weekend or holiday, you may need to make a reservation. I hope your game viewing experience goes well!
@@user-bh3ju2qo5 I got two tickets for the Swallows Giants game. Can't wait. Not long now
Loved the Vlog. ❤ From Pakistan!
Wow, you didn't need a tripod for those night shots?
Im so happy the algorithm sent me this because I couldnt find yyou after meeting in Japan, this has been great :D!
Watch Manny Ortiz's video on how bad the focusing is. Forgot the specs and features. If it struggles to focus, who cares about anything else. No mechanical shutter so it's poor option for photography due to banding and picture quality. Very limited record time length. Ergos so bad they gave out free 3rd party grips to all the reviewers. No EVF. No hot shoe so cannot use a flash etc. No headphone jack. The PROs?: Stabilization is top notch. If you are a Lumix fanboy buy a Lumix s5ii.
7:56 nice shot
Good to hear about your experiences on S9. Big change for next version: a rear display visible in sunlight. Small change: a rear dial. All the best
Great video!
It's quite disappointing that they left out the Viewfinder, the camera could have been perfect. I guess photographers aren't the audience for this camera. Great Video btw.
Pretty cool to see what a millionaire goes through when they "start over" lol.
The kids were so cute 😂 was so lovely to meet you!
日本人は、大リーグの鳴り物なし応援団なしを絶賛するよね。結局、隣の芝生なんかな
Great video!! Thank you
It's truly invigorating witnessing the X100vi in full swing! The dynamic vibe and camaraderie showcased in this video are simply fantastic. Continuously pushing boundaries and creating outstanding content - kudos to all involved!
I love the slower pace of your videos. On youtube and social media in general content tents to be very fast paced, which is fine but it's fantastic to have a contrast to that.
WHY OH WHY didn't they give it a viewfinder
Kudos to panasonic for trying and giving us the s9 (open gate, LUTS, full frame) but for a 2024 camera i think there are more cons than pros. They should have hired enthusiasts to better make a better camera. Rolling shutter, no viewfinder, poor lens and more.
LUT Lumix S9 kill film simulation Fuji X100VI 🤣
They should make the camera screen bigger. It would appeal more to cellphone camera users and yould also be great for the on camera editing
What a great compact camera !! 🤣Clearly Panasonic spend more money on advertising this toy than on the camera development
Great to run into you in person tonight. Keep up the good work.
I simply couldn't buy a camera without an EVF! What I would love to see in my Canon R5 are more aspect ratio choices for composition, which are very limited.
Excellent work 😎
5:26 🎉🎉🎉
LUT SLUT Love it!
