That was really reflective, i live alone, and sometimes I wonder whether I’ll be able to grow old with dignity. I just wish that gentleman had a little more space for himself and his belongings.

I live in Tokyo. Japanese trains are extremely crowded. You were lucky. This train is still relatively empty. Normally, this train would have three times as many people.
I actually like these little places. I'd be just fine.
Oh bro japan stressed country depression and sex shame 😢😮😮oh no pakistan is better life is amazing
I'm a lactose intolerant vegetarian and I found it really hard to find food when I went to Tokyo for 4 days 😞
I ate at the same salad bar in a mall 3 days in a row.😂
It was good food thankfully but I was expecting there to be at least one vegetarian option in some restaurants in Tokyo.
Eu amo vídeo na Ásia ❤

Why don't you go film your brothers in Israel, huh? The ones who are massacring Palestinian women and children??? Grandson of…
While we complain that our own 60-square-meter home is small, how do those people manage to live there? Once again, thank God❤❤
Some day id love to go on a trip with you. And just experience something different. You should do some kind of contest where a subscriber can win a trip with you. Or…..just pick me. Lol. Either way we love the videos. Its an eye into things we will most likely never see in person otherwise.
Japan is like a world of its own. They do everything differently to all other countries. So unique. I must visit the place one day 👍
Greetings from South Africa. We got so much space here and seeing things so tight on the other side of the globe is just wow. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Kenapa gua gak di lahirkan di jepang aja ya, yang mayoritas banyak orang introvert,cocok banget buat kehidupan gua yang suka keheningan😅🙏

Benim gibi insanları delirtebilecek kadar Küçük yapılar. İnsanın orada klostrofobik olması çok kolay görünüyor. Hiç güzel bir hayat değil!
Drew come to Libreville
I hope you can find a better Arabic dub than this.
For 500 USD, here in Nairobi Kenya he would be leaving in a three bedroom house, all ensuit, and with atleast two parking lots and probably a garden. Thats a lot for a house in East Africa
She must be a cam girl. It’s the only way she could afford that after running away from home. lol he’s like your nice big pc you can learn anything 😂
11:40 I'd run from Nagoya too tbf
اضن انا العربية الوحيدة هنا😂😂
The net cafe and capsule hotel aren't apartments. People do not stay there full-time… even if they are utilizing them because of housing issues, they don't live there. It's the same as any other hotel
Impressionnant
wish my neighbors kids were good manners like those kids
Your videos are amazing❤❤

And this video is very interesting and to think that these people has shared a lot of memories in this small house I’m sure to them it not just a tiny little space it’s home
Great Video!!! I love Japan
Drew, many people in the world clean their ass with a bidet. Wiping with only TP is simply not enough. Love the videos ❤😄
No Japão também tem bastante todes
Why do those people live in tokyo tho? I dont get it, I make 1600€ a month, live in a 6 room house with a 2000 square meter garden, Im not bragging – but I couldnt afford to live in an internet cafe, literally, so….why dont they just move outside of city?
