Notice: I went out drinking with the owner the night before shooting part of this video. Can you tell the difference between sober Alex and hungover Alex?

@RizalRepin 3 жыл бұрын

I would say hungover Alex is a lot more chill and laidback and suits the vacation home video very well. I love that you're showing vacation homes that was definitely something I was personally interested in having looked at opportunities in Hokkaido, Nagano as well as a beachfront area I can't remember the name of. This place is beautiful, and right in front of the Hakuba skis area. Really what more do you need?

My grandparents moved to Hakuba from Tokyo in early 70s and I used to stay there during Summer holidays and spring breaks when I was child. It was already popular ski resort among Japanese but I rarely saw foreigners at that time. My grandparents were not rich at all but they could buy a spacious home, which was big enough to host all my cousins to stay for weeks. Time flies, after Aussies “discovered” Hakuba, it became a popular resort not just for Japanese but for foreigners too. Along with it, real estate prices soared. I can’t believe a small cabin like this priced more than 40 million yen❗️😳 It’s in the same price range as a home in suburban Tokyo❗️Local people can never buy such house. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad.

Damnit Alex, you can't just go around saying that have more than one "favorite" place in a home. By definition, "favorite" means the most liked, preferred above all others, the singular best according to said individual. You go from calling the "office room"(mind you there's pretty much damn near zero office-like things about that "office" other than the large table, a chair and some old newspapers; don't offices usually mean they include something like a computer, some cabinets, maybe even a stapler, you know... stuff like that) you're favorite room in the house and then without any hesitation whatsoever you then call the bathroom your "most favorite part of the house in general." You're lucky Alex, you're lucky that you're my favorite "house guide" channel regarding Japanese homes.
