Check out this video that shows a hapless gaijin describing his life in Japan to friends back home.
Made by Rob Osmond with a little help from his friends.

December 2nd, 2007 at 12:59 pmA good laugh, but not all apartments are that small in Japan.
December 2nd, 2007 at 7:17 pmHeh, I enjoyed that. Looks like the situation of someone in their first few months here.
December 2nd, 2007 at 8:33 pmLol, great piss-take! I like the way he was pretending to be flumoxed because he couldn’t read Japanese.
“OMG - I can’t work out how to cool instant meals! Like, that’s the only way to eat.”
Yeah, like frying up some pork in a wok with rice isn’t possible.
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:43 ami love when he got stuck in the bath. Unfortunately for me that wasn’t a Japan exclusive experience. I’ve lived in a house with the same size bathtub
December 3rd, 2007 at 6:05 amMy favorite part was the kid with the “ASL” jersey.
December 3rd, 2007 at 7:25 amWell, it’s obvious the guy did that for humorous purpose BUT, to me, he is simply describing the life of a loser in Japan. This character would end up with a miserable lifestyle anywhere in the world.
Just two things people need to know :
- there are lots ans lots of big flats in Japan. But of course, if you want a cheaper place, you end up in a tiny flat badly located.
- it’s extremly easy in Japan to meet people and to have fun.
December 3rd, 2007 at 8:15 amI loved the amazing view from the balcony comment. Amazing view of carparks and powerlines.
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:09 amvittel, yeah, when I was watching the video all I could think was “this guy has obviously never met Justin Klein…”
