I don't think you can find place you love in the earth

First thing to do when you are in Asia is to dress properly and not walk around like a bum. You will get no respect at all.

goes to JAPAN, complains that everyone is japanese XD

It´s like he´s invisible; no one looks at him.

"Imagine being the only White guy..." Yeah, just ride the bus in Toronto...

Spents 200$ on a visa he might not use. Can't afford pants and wear shorts in the winter

This guy is so astonishingly self-absorbed that he'll never be happy anywhere he can squeeze a perceived slight out of something.

on behalf of americans I apologize to the Japanese for Ryans behavior in public :/

There's an old saying - "It doesn't matter where you go - there you are." Think about what that means.

Are you not at peace Ryan? Is your dialogue for entertainment? You may need to meditate to quiet the constant voices in your mind. There's nothing wrong with just existing.

sayonara. do not came back

what girl doesn't like to go shopping and eat cake? it's Universal dude!

Guy thinks Japan is uncomfortable. Guy moves to China. Guy cries self to sleep every night on pillow made of toxic polymers.

I saw a white white guy and a black guy at 8:34....

"doing it like a bausss" (looks like a homeless man)

Somehow, I must have missed the "Leaving Japan" part. This is just walking through a shopping street

42 million Yen in the bank. Maybe get some pants?

Japan must prove itself by accepting 5 million muslims.

Ryan, That ATM troll was epic!!!

Look at the distance between the numbers. The first digit "4" is closer than the others. It's also slightly tilted. His balance is under 2 million yen not 40 million.

Nearly $400,000 in savings? That is really good :)

Man, this time of the year it's really nice in Somalia and North Korea. You could check it out...best two places to live in.

first thing I notice: almost no overweight or handicapped people. Certainly no obese people. No homeless. Nothing but Asians. Also, no ethnic or cultural diversity whatsoever.

Japan is boring and i found locals to be frustrating, Even buying a sim or opening a bank account is near impossible in that place.

City full of soulless maschine type people, asians as whole lack of individualism...

My God half of the commenter in this video is probably some weeb who didn't had any experience living out and checking how reality wroks...

It seems like this guy is tsundere towards Japan. He "hates it" and constantly complains about it, yet still goes back to live there. I think he actually enjoys it but can't admit it and acts all tsundere.

How many times has this guy left Japan and came back? It's like every other video he leaves.

4:25 - "obedient robots" ..... for waiting at a red light. Order must be so abhorrent to you lol

I would just stay with rie and enjoy our life and company

I hate how there's a culture around Japan that stems from foreigners believing that Japan is a place of pure fantasy. Japan is a place to visit not to live in if you're a foreigner, that's just how it is.

How is the weed situation there? Do they frown on pot or do they toke like crazy?

I was in Osaka in 1966. It's now totally unrecognizable. The only cities I saw then that had some areas like your video shows were downtown Sendai, and a few areas of Tokyo. Osaka still had lots of dirt streets with open sewers and drab wooden buildings at that time. It almost looks like they rebuilt most of the country since then.

Rie must be thrilled......:-)

4:00 I'm very anti-conformist and I wait if there is a cross walk sign simply out of respect in taking my turn. The reason is because often people do walk in front of cars when it is not their turn and this messes things up, so I try to stick to the rule. Maybe only during busy hours.

?? I'm an American girl and I wanna go shopping and eat cake? That's universal Ryan.

you will find it hard in China,I have been here 17 years

are you sure about moving from Japan to China? i live in Thailand where we have had an influx of Chinese tourists. from your vlogs the Japanese look respectful, polite and quiet. the streets look nice and clean too. seems to be a huge difference between these two asian countries!

Ii hope Rie won't follow you this time. She need to concentrate on her future since she is in that risky age . :)) Bless her, :))))) I hope she will find someone who can give her what she desefve in life.:)))

I bet they aren't sad to see you go.

Back WEN Japan wer not maskies yet...

Thanks for the tour of Osaka central Ryan and for using your finest camera. For some reason, which I can't quite explain, I've not visited Osaka and yet it looks pretty good. So next time I'm in Japan I want to take-in Osaka for a few days before escaping to the Japan countryside.

The most obvious that nobody has realized so far is that his KZfaq channel will be history the moment he enters China as there´s no KZfaq in China!

seriously the amount of people not understanding him is just unbelievable. this guy lived in japam for over 15 years, do you really think this decision came easy? do you really think he hasnt thought this through? do you really think this guy just picked china randomly? keep in mind some people are not the same as a other s in society and that can lead to irritation of a whole other level in itself. whatever his situation with his private life and SO is not really for us to say or judge.. dont get me wrong we all have our opinion about china or japan and i agree that japan may be a better place to live but dont think watching 10 min videos will make you fully understands whats happen behind the videos or in private. so im gonna be polite on this one and ask all of you guys to get of his back, even if you disagree with his choices

JAPAN FANBOYS N GIRLS SHUT UP PLZ. He faced the problems of japan 10 long years and now hes exploring other countries. He is BOUNDLESS, maybe thats his SPIRIT. Thanks for your honesty Ryan and good luck in the future!

Japan HAS to be the world's most NOISY country, bar none. The noise is incessant, 24/7. If the stoplights are not singing to you, the local government loudspeakers will be, if they don't the hawkers' trucks will play endless loops, if they don't then the traffic is always there and is especially great when crotch-rocket gear-heads show up. NO PLACE NO WHERE IN JAPAN is peaceful and quite, short of the grave.

Sad you didn't make it, my dad's life have been awesome for the past 6 years he's been there. But the fact that you're really moving into China because of your crappy job situation is blowing my mind. You know what kind of life the middle class Chinese are living?

Maybe i missed an episode. (1) So what happened to your Japanese girlfriend ? (2) Why are you leaving Japan ? (3) You have $400,000 dollars in your bank account? You set for life as far as money . So why so many problems? Whatever you do DO NOT return to Thailand. Your not ready for prime time. Thailand chews up 99.999% of foreigners. You need to be smarter than the average foreigner who learns everything they know from alcoholic bar flies.

In Germany they used to shout at you for crossing the red light. Where/ when are you going to China? I missed something here... How did you get a 10 years visa. Obviously since you are a US national... lucky you... but still??

lmao How many countries will you migrate to before you realize that you just aren't that happy?

Dude you'll enjoy China loads! better quality of life for English teachers. have fun man!

Dotenburi looks great. I want to go back. I miss Japan sooo much.

She crossed when you crossed because the fucking pedestrian walk light turned green.

"THIS IS IT, ARTHUR PEWTEY! THIS IS YOUR MOMENT, ARTHUR PEWTEY! AT LAST, YOU'RE A MAN!"

It is better after dark.

does China have an Englishtown?

41818487 YEN = A FUCKING LOT OF DOLLARS DUDE U ARE FUCKING RICH!

>hate japan >go to china HAHAHAHA, HOLY FUCK.

"Hey, your looking kind of down..what you need young lady is some cake..chocolate right??" HEEHee

Ryan why did you kill the "Boundless" theme song and replace with this weepy guitar music? That was literally the only good part of your videos.

I've been watching your video for quite a while. I'm from china and have been to Japan a couple of times. Really enjoyed your video and hope if you come to china you can let me know I'll show you around.

The utter boredom of life there really comes across. Dull unremarkable shopping malls and conservative bland people

In the future, the entire planet will be a shotengai

You'll be better off leaving Asia and coming back to the states honestly.

Looks like there aren't many gaijins in Osaka.

Osaka is Boring ASF dude, it's Time you hit Seoul and met some real hot ladies !

That summary on Japanese girls tho.

That siren at the beginning sounded like War of the Worlds.

is everyone in japan a busy, melancholy nerd?? geeeezzz......

What is the shop with all the Australian flags at 1:18?

anyone know whether he divorced his wife?

that covered shopping area with NO CARS kicks ass over anything in america

7:53 hahaha note taken

Lol, its not the same now 2024

0:42 Interesting so you aren't a broke and mentally defeated gaijin lolcow since you have $365,953.58.

I read recenty in a forum that this guy died by suicide...sad story... RIP

that shopping street looks like a scene from hell

I stayed in Namba/Shinsaibashi for 3 months around '95, and walked that shopping center everyday. Sony Tower was one of my favorite spots. I miss it. Imagine being the only Black guy walking that street. (..it wasn't a big deal actually.) I think that Starbucks in Dotonbori was a 'Mister Donut'.

0:40 - You realize we only need one uncensored frame to see what you're trying to hide, right?

i really hope this is an act because it's oddly funny

Is it true that in Japan they hire Americans to be American basically.

So damn clean...I would love that about Japan.

Amazing contrast with Uganda. Which so you prefer ? A contrast comparison video would be amazing

Trolling the trolls ryan thanks for the laugh.

lol the shopping center is playing "Top of the World" by the Carpenters. Long way from home aren't you, pal? JK obviously

I feel two things: If you can't formally pronounce the Place's Name(s), what are you doing there to begin with? And Secondly, There's Always USA, where you probably grew up in (or Canada). Just go back home rather than trying to fit in with a different society you don't want to try to get along with. And here's the thing about racism--it only exists if you want it to.

I was there! Mori Kanon was performing in the river, by the bridge.

Hey! You didn't point out the black guy with the red hat at 8:34

I saw the bank balance before you covered it up. Well done! Be aware that deposit insurance only covers up to 10 million per account. You would do well to open up several new accounts and keep each one under 10 million. You might also consider buying a used 2DK "mansion" for 15 million or so which will get you out of the renter's dilemma, help avoid pesky renewal fees and prying landlords. It would also provide that cutie mate of yours with some security which she deserves at this point. Also, if you decide to move along, it will always be there to provide a flow of rental income.

How did you make all that money????

He had to walk a long time to reach a Starbucks, now I know i wouldn't like it there...

Look at all the American businesses.

'Central part of...' (anywhere), usually means that you find yourself in a shopping mall. Who actually want's that?? Not me, that's for sure. Shopping and eating cake...Hahahaha : ) I hate both! ; )

Wow, his account balance as shown on the ATM is about $300K USD.

10 years????

I've never heard such a winger, now alls you see is Chinese their now, but being an expat myself somethings I'd agree, but that's life, Japan is a beautiful country, you just have to man up. But if your an English teacher the money is shit.

what stories ? these people are so on their own. how can you make contact.

I miss Karen Carpenter.

what's up with all these irritating and negative click bait titles? I just wanted to check you out because I haven't seen a video of you for a long time. Why are so many people hating in the comments and all the click bait titles etc.... Did something bad happen? Would be cool if someone could rply

China? Really? I don't "get" the whole 'Japan thing' but the 'China thing' is even worse.
