It's just nice to see people you like hanging out with other people you like because you know they're probably having a good time and you can get a little vicarious joy out of it. 😊 I kinda got fed up with Felix years ago, but it's like he really became someone different when he moved to Japan and just started casually vlogging. I'm really glad to see it. It's almost like having the original Felix back, from when I subbed at like 30k, but older and wiser. I don't think living in California was good for him, there's a lot of toxic juju in the social/celeb scene down there and I think it's taken two country moves since then to shake it off.

And then he showed Felix, I was so fooled haha (Also, Jürgen is more like a German name, no ü in Swedish, but maybe that was part of the joke. Otheriwse, it should've been more like Jörgen.)

​@@Jordan-inJapan Modern Japan is a sad, depraved, depressed, hypocritical, and constantly self-conflicting cesspool with little to no resemblance of humanity left. It is a country which focuses on the microscopical details and rules instead of tackling the grand, overarching core issues which have been rotting away for decades. It's people lack any semblance of humanity, energy and warmth. They are apathetic to each other as they drown in their own misery. Things like this should not be happening in a civilized country and nation. How can Japan be such an unstable, crazy, violent and utterly animalistic country? This criminal should be executed to set an example and warn those who try to perform such disgusting acts. When will Japan recover from this malaise, it is Asia's sick man now. How disgraceful and pathetic. Where are the politicians and leaders who set out to change and improve modern Japanese society so people are happier and mentally healthy???

But either way it’s good to know it’s his own vision behind the editing. The AIJ videos have a very unique editing style that really helps the pacing.

@@kraenk12 ? That kind of speaks to the opposite. Most people when they start making money hire an editor after doing themselves out of necessity for so long. That’s why it’s so refreshing and impressive to see someone who does it themselves when they don’t have to. If you’ve ever edited any video you know how much work goes into it, now consider it with a high quality narrated video like these. If you never have, it’s so sooo much more work than you would think. With the amount of videos he puts out, narrates, edits, films he must work like 60 hour weeks at least.

I've been watching Abroad in Japan for years and when you mentioned the Keio Plaza Hotel I thought it was funny because I'm coming to Japan soon as an ALT, and will in fact be staying there through the JET Program. I actually first learned about them through you and your early KZfaq videos. And I'm happy to say I got shortlisted for the JET Program and just graduated with my bachelor's degree last month. I'll be arriving in Japan in August, and I wouldn't have this opportunity without you. Truly earned the title of Mr. Affable. Thank you, Chris!

It was developed for epileptics to help manage and control seizures by regulating what was in their system!! People need to stop following fad diets and diet info from tiktok. SMH. By the way, you CANNOT completely eliminate sugars from your diet, almost everything has natural sugars in it. And both sugars and carbs are healthy in moderation.

I'm working with a physio to slowly build up my leg strength and capacity to walk, just got a pedometer last week and am managing 3000 steps most days. To hear you say "lets try to fit in 10 000 steps" so casually is very impressive! I see my physio next Saturday and we're increasing to 5000 steps. Looking forward to catching up to your 10 000!
