I'm in my new apartment and I wanted to go through some of your questions that you sent me on instagram and twitter and just talk about some of those things.

我在我的新公寓裡，我想通過你在instagram和twitter上發給我的一些問題，談談其中一些事情。

I wanted to not talk about things to do and places to go because that's not really what this video is about.

我想不談要做的事情和要去的地方，因為這不是這個視頻的真正內容。

It's like questions about living here or questions about you know personal life or lifestyle or advice or something like that.

這就像關於生活在這裡的問題，或關於你知道的個人生活或生活方式的問題，或建議或類似的問題。

I wanted it to be more of a personal type video.

我希望它更像是一個個人類型的視頻。

So that's what I'm gonna be doing today.

所以這就是我今天要做的事。

I also have a glass of green tea right here.

我還在這裡喝了一杯綠茶。

實際上，我收到了很多關於這個問題的類似問題。

I got a lot of questions about when is your wedding?

我得到了很多關於你什麼時候結婚的問題？

Did you set a date yet?

你確定了一個日期了嗎？

Are you going to have it in japan or America?

你打算在日本還是美國舉行？

Um and the truth is we are not going to have a wedding as of now, I don't think we really want one just because we don't want to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding when we can save all that money to have a family or to travel we were talking about going to europe and we were talking about going to other places in the world that we haven't been too, because we're still young, you know, I would like to have a small ceremony maybe with just friends or something here in Japan, we just moved into a new apartment.

事實上，我們現在還不打算舉行婚禮，我不認為我們真的想舉行婚禮，只是因為我們不想在婚禮上花費數千美元，因為我們可以把這些錢都存起來，用來組建家庭或旅行，我們正在討論去歐洲，我們正在討論去世界上其他我們沒有去過的地方，因為我們還年輕，你知道，我想在日本舉行一個小的儀式，也許只有朋友或其他東西，我們剛剛搬到一個新公寓。

Like the last thing we want to think about is finalizing our marriage, but right now I think our goal is to be officially married in december on paper, but as of right now we aren't going to have any kind of ceremony and I'm really okay with that.

就像我們最不想考慮的事情是最終確定我們的婚姻，但現在我認為我們的目標是在12月正式結婚，在紙面上，但就現在而言，我們不打算舉行任何形式的儀式，我真的沒問題。

But right now he is focusing on his job, his new job, He needs to focus on doing well and I need to focus on my stuff.

但現在他正專注於他的工作，他的新工作，他需要專注於做好，我需要專注於我的事情。

So yeah, we're still settling in, it's going to take a lot of organization and thinking and just getting all the paperwork and all that stuff is just going to be a lot.

所以，是的，我們還在安頓，這將需要大量的組織和思考，僅僅是拿到所有的文書工作和所有的東西就會有很多。

So right now there's really no, like pressure to get all that done is Youtube your full time job.

所以現在真的沒有，比如說壓力，要完成所有這些是Youtube的全職工作。

If not, how do you keep it up?

如果沒有，你是如何保持的呢？

No, Youtube, I got a lot of questions about this as well.

不，Youtube，我也有很多關於這個的問題。

Youtube is not my full time job.

Youtube不是我的全職工作。

Youtube is just, I don't want to say it's a hobby because it's become kind of a job, it's, you know, you're constantly having to put out content.

Youtube只是，我不想說它是一個愛好，因為它已經成為一種工作，它是，你知道，你必須不斷地推出內容。

I try to upload twice a week lately, I haven't been because I just moved, but I want to do that more.

我最近試著每週上傳兩次，我一直沒有，因為我剛剛搬家，但我想更多地這樣做。

I am still a teacher.

我仍然是一名教師。

I still teach kids in Japan.

我仍然在日本教孩子。

I don't teach adults.

我不教成人。

I love teaching kids.

我喜歡教孩子。

I love kids a lot.

我非常喜歡孩子。

I'd rather teach kids and adults.

我寧願教孩子和成人。

I think teaching high school kids would be really cool, but I don't do that.

我認為教高中生會非常酷，但我不做這個。

I teach ages Baby to 13 and I've been working for my company for almost five years and I love them a lot.

我教嬰兒到13歲的孩子，我已經為我的公司工作了近五年，我非常喜歡他們。

I'm not going to say who they are because that's like revealing too much.

我不打算說他們是誰，因為那就像暴露了太多。

But I love the job and it gives me a lot of time off.

但我喜歡這份工作，它讓我有很多休息時間。

This company is, it's very rare to have this much time off in an a kiowa or it's not really in a kiowa.

這家公司是，在一個奇奧的公司裡有這麼多的休息時間是非常罕見的，或者說它不是真的在奇奧。

It's more of like a english after school sort of program for kids to join.

這更像是孩子們參加的英語課外活動。

It's not a public school.

這不是一所公立學校。

So it's more like a business I guess.

所以我想它更像一個企業。

Yeah, I really, truly enjoy it and it gives me the time to do Youtube and they allow me to do Youtube co workers and my boss and everybody is very proud of what I do and I think that's very important when you find a job and you want to do something that you love.

是的，我真的非常喜歡它，它讓我有時間做Youtube，他們允許我做Youtube的合作者，我的老闆和每個人都為我的工作感到非常自豪，我認為當你找到一份工作，你想做你喜歡的事情時，這非常重要。

But yeah, it's hard to juggle it really, really is definitely more challenging when you are working full time and you are trying to do this because you don't have you know the time to really create everything that you want to create.

但是，是的，這很難兼顧，當你全職工作，你試圖這樣做的時候，肯定更具挑戰性，因為你沒有你知道的時間來真正創造你想創造的一切。

How is it being a mixed race couple in Japan any weird stares.

在日本，作為一對混血兒，怎麼會有奇怪的目光呢。

Um no, I don't get any strange stares.

嗯，沒有，我沒有得到任何奇怪的注視。

Maybe I do and I just don't know it, but I don't feel any different.

也許我有，只是我不知道，但我沒有感覺到任何不同。

I think beauty is having a lot of reverse culture shock even today he's very Americanized, so I think he does a lot of things differently and people stare when he does things that are wrong I guess.

我認為美有很多反向文化衝擊，即使今天他非常美國化，所以我認為他做了很多不同的事情，當他做錯事情的時候，人們會盯著看，我猜。

I feel like Japan seems to be okay with relationships like this and if they do feel any differently, they don't really come up to you and say it to your face or anything like that.

我覺得日本似乎可以接受這樣的關係，如果他們確實有任何不同的感覺，他們不會真的走到你面前，當面說出來或類似的東西。

So uh no, I haven't found any challenges with our relationship or anything like that when it comes to living in this country, What's the toughest thing that you've been through in Japan?

所以，呃，沒有，我還沒有發現我們的關係或類似的挑戰，當談到在這個國家生活時，你在日本經歷的最艱難的事情是什麼？

Oh my God, there are so many tough things that I've been through, I've been through a lot and I never gave up and I feel like now is a time where I feel so good, I'm so happy with myself, I'm so happy with my life.

哦，我的上帝，我經歷了這麼多艱難的事情，我經歷了很多，我從來沒有放棄過，我覺得現在是我感覺很好的時候，我對自己很滿意，我對我的生活很滿意。

Yeah, I mean I've been through a lot of tough times but I feel like you should never give up if you really want something and what I really wanted to do was stay here and I didn't want to go home, like I said with a negative view on Japan, I didn't wanna look back in my past and be like, wow, what a horrible time it was.

是的，我的意思是我經歷了很多艱難的時刻，但我覺得如果你真的想要什麼，你就不應該放棄，我真正想做的是留在這裡，我不想回家，就像我說的對日本有負面看法，我不想回顧我的過去，就像，哇，那是一個多麼可怕的時代。

I wanted to keep going and create the life that I was happy with.

我想繼續走下去，創造我所滿意的生活。

I've been through horrible, horrible jobs in my life here, I've been in a very abusive relationship and I've grown from that, you know, I've moved like five or six times in Japan because of apartment problems, there's just been a lot that I've gone through, but I figured out how to get out of those situations and I've become a better and more mature person for it and I'm very lucky to be in the situation that I am now, my friends are wonderful.

在我的生活中，我經歷過可怕的，可怕的工作，我有過一段非常虐待的關係，我已經從中成長，你知道，我在日本因為公寓問題搬了五六次家，我經歷了很多事情，但我想出瞭如何擺脫這些情況，我是以成為一個更好、更成熟的人，我很幸運能處於現在的情況，我的朋友都很好。

My fiancee treats me like a queen and I feel so special and loved and cared for and my creativeness has come back, my passion and my love for everything has just been revived.

我的未婚妻把我當做女王，我感到自己很特別，被愛著，被關心著，我的創造力又回來了，我的激情和對一切事物的熱愛又恢復了。

Yeah, I, I really appreciate the people who have supported me through everything that I've gone through and I'm proud of myself for getting to where I am today.

是的，我，我真的很感謝那些支持我度過我所經歷的一切的人，我為自己走到今天的位置感到驕傲。

What keeps you motivated in life and when making your videos to stay motivated to make a video, it can be very difficult because you get in and out of like creative ruts and like you, you kind of have this like creative block sometimes in some weeks and you just don't want to do anything or you're exhausted because every day is just like creating something and content content content and sometimes you forget to stop and you know, just enjoy life and I feel like that's what keeps me going and motivated is to stop social media for at least a week when it comes to being motivated in life, I always picture, you know what I want, what my end goal is, what I want, my future to look like and I kind of zone in on that for a while and I really self reflect and look at where I'm at and see what I can do to challenge myself more and I feel like that's what makes keeps me motivated in life, but also don't push yourself and pressure yourself, it's not going to get you there.

是什麼讓你在生活中保持動力，當你製作視頻時，要保持製作視頻的動力，這可能是非常困難的，因為你會陷入和走出創意的困境，就像你一樣，你有時會有這樣的創意障礙，在某些星期，你只是不想做任何事情，或者你很累，因為每天只是像創造東西和內容內容，有時你忘記停下來，你知道。我覺得這就是讓我繼續前進的動力，就是停止社交媒體至少一個星期，當談到生活中的動力時，我總是想象，你知道我想要什麼，我的最終目標是什麼，我想要什麼，我的未來是什麼樣子的，我在那上面停留一段時間，我真的自我檢討，看看我在哪裡，看看我能做些什麼來挑戰自己，

I feel like you have to be happy with the now as well, you have to be very content and look at your situation now and be grateful for the things that you have now, not looking so far in the future because people that overthink tend to look way too far in the future, have that end goal there in arm's reach, but don't hold on to it, just self evaluate and take a look at what's going on at the moment and be grateful because that's what's going to rapidly help you move forward in life.

我覺得你也必須對現在感到高興，你必須非常滿足，看看你現在的情況，對你現在擁有的東西心存感激，不要看得那麼遠，因為過度思考的人往往會把目光投向太遠的未來，有那個觸手可及的最終目標，但不要執著於它，只是自我評估，看看目前發生了什麼，心存感激，因為這才會迅速幫助你在生活中向前發展。

What's yours and you geez favorite thing to do together?

你和你的吉茲最喜歡一起做什麼？

Oh God, okay, we sound like an old couple, we love filming and creating of course, like that's what we do and that's what we love to do.

哦，上帝，好吧，我們聽起來像一對老夫婦，我們當然喜歡拍攝和創作，就像我們所做的，這也是我們喜歡做的。

But we currently like watching terrace house, we like coming home at the end of the day after work, exhausted taking a shower eating some good food that we cooked one of us cooked something sitting in front of the Tv and watching terrace house or Bachelor in paradise because I'm a sucker for the bachelor series and I've gotten him into it and we've just been watching it every single week, relaxing and cuddling and just watching tv having a drink or a glass of green tea or decaf coffee or whatever in some dessert or something and just watching our favorite tv shows.

但我們目前喜歡看露臺屋，我們喜歡在一天工作結束後回到家，精疲力盡地洗個澡，吃一些我們自己做的好東西，坐在電視機前看露臺屋或《天堂單身漢》，因為我很喜歡單身漢系列，我讓他也喜歡上了，我們每週都在看，放鬆和擁抱，只是看電視，喝一杯或一杯綠茶或無咖啡因的咖啡或其他東西，吃點甜點什麼的，只是看我們喜歡的電視節目。

Either that or we just like to explore.

要麼就是我們只是喜歡探索。

I don't want to live here when I'm old.

我不想在我老的時候住在這裡。

So um we may or may not go back to the States or we might travel and live somewhere else for a change like Canada or somewhere quiet and peaceful like Norway.

是以，嗯，我們可能會也可能不會回美國，或者我們可能會去其他地方旅行和生活，以改變現狀，比如加拿大或像挪威這樣安靜祥和的地方。

I don't know we don't really have a plan.

我不知道，我們並沒有真正的計劃。

We didn't really talk about it that much but we'd always say like, oh it'd be so nice to live here.

我們並沒有真正談論那麼多，但我們總是說，哦，如果能住在這裡就太好了。

I'd love to live in Canada to be honest.

說實話，我很想住在加拿大。

But I don't know how hard it is to get a Visa or anything like that.

但我不知道獲得簽證或諸如此類的事情有多難。

We need jobs and all that stuff, but to retire elsewhere would probably be like a good idea in the future.

我們需要工作和所有這些東西，但在其他地方退休可能會像未來的一個好主意。

But right now we're just getting started any advice for jet applicants this year.

但現在我們剛剛開始，對今年的噴氣機申請人有什麼建議嗎？

This got me thinking about making a sort of short video.

這讓我想到要製作一種短視頻。

I think the jet program application has changed a little bit.

我認為噴氣機項目的應用已經發生了一些變化。

I'm not sure it's been like six years since I've done the jet program.

我不知道自從我做了噴氣機項目以來，好像有六年了。

So I'm sure things have changed already talked about my experience in the jet program, but I will give you guys some advice in another video.

Well, I love that he's very passionate, he's very hard working.

嗯，我喜歡他非常有激情，他非常努力工作。

He's just a very level headed person.

他只是一個非常有水準的人。

He never gets angry, he never raises his voice at me, He's just very calm and like I can't explain it, but it just, it makes me feel a lot more leveled out, but like he's just really chill and he can handle things very well, he's just very intelligent, he knows how to duel.

他從不生氣，他從不對我提高嗓門，他只是非常平靜，就像我無法解釋，但這只是，這讓我感覺到更多的平和，但就像他真的很冷靜，他能很好地處理事情，他只是非常聰明，他知道如何決鬥。

He has a lot of skills that I don't have and I think that really intrigues me.

他有很多我不具備的技能，我認為這真的讓我很感興趣。

I feel like because he's japanese, I can learn a lot more about this culture, just being in a relationship with someone that is Japanese and just always continuously interested and intrigued by him.

我覺得因為他是日本人，我可以學到更多關於這種文化的東西，只是和一個日本人在一起的時候，總是不斷地對他感興趣和好奇。

So what was the toughest thing to adapt to when you got to Japan?

那麼，當你到了日本，最難適應的是什麼？

There's a lot to really adapt to in Japan, but when I first came to Japan, I was 17, so when I moved here officially, it was like, I, I kind of was used to it, I guess I've been to Japan to two other times before that.

在日本有很多東西需要真正適應，但當我第一次來日本時，我17歲，所以當我正式搬到這裡時，就像，我，我有點習慣了，我想在那之前我已經去過日本到其他兩次。

So first thing that I, I had to adapt to was my surroundings, larger crowds, trains, trains or something that you really have to learn, just like living in a japanese house or apartment, there's smaller spaces, you have to learn to be more minimalistic.

是以，我，我必須適應的第一件事是我的環境，更大的人群，火車，火車或一些你真的必須學習的東西，就像住在日本的房子或公寓，有更小的空間，你必須學會更簡約。

Was there anything that made you uncertain as to whether or not you should go to Japan?

有沒有什麼事情讓你對是否應該去日本感到不確定？

I feel like Japan has always been my dream, I've always wanted to live here, that's what I, I studied, studied Japanese and education because I either wanted to be a Japanese teacher in the states or I wanted to teach english in Japan and I opted for Japan because it's like I was young and I wanted to travel and I wanted to learn more about the country and all that stuff.

我覺得日本一直是我的夢想，我一直想在這裡生活，這就是我，我學習，學習日語和教育，因為我要麼想在美國做一名日語教師，要麼想在日本教英語，我選擇了日本，因為它就像我年輕的時候，我想旅行，我想更多地瞭解這個國家和所有這些東西。

So at the time I was in a really serious relationship, I was in that relationship for about four years and we went through college together.

是以，當時我正處於一段非常認真的關係中，我在那段關係中待了大約四年，我們一起度過了大學。

He was like, you know, the most serious that I've ever been in when I was in college, I think that that made me uncertain because I was trying to go to Japan even if it was for three months, that relationship at the time, my boyfriend at the time was not okay with me, going really wanted to be with me all the time and it was, it started to get really suffocating, I guess I was young and I wanted to live my dreams and it just wasn't, it wasn't supporting it, but I understood was the type of guy that wanted to get married, he wanted to be a doctor, he wanted to have kids and a wife and live close to his parents and all that stuff and I wanted something completely different.

他就像，你知道，我在大學時最認真的一次，我想那讓我不確定，因為我想去日本，即使是三個月，當時的關係，我的男朋友當時對我不滿意，真的想一直和我在一起，這很。它開始變得非常令人窒息，我想我當時很年輕，我想實現我的夢想，但它沒有，它不支持它，但我明白是那種想結婚的人，他想成為一名醫生，他想有孩子和妻子，住在他父母附近，所有這些東西，我想要的東西完全不同。

So at the time I was really struggling with, do I want that life or do I want to live my dream and go to Japan and I ended up living my dream and going to Japan and just, you know, ending the relationship, I don't regret it, I don't regret it, but that did make me uncertain.

所以當時我真的在掙扎，我是要那種生活，還是要實現我的夢想，去日本，最後我實現了我的夢想，去了日本，只是，你知道，結束了這段關係，我不後悔，我不後悔，但這確實讓我不確定。

I feel like when you're in a relationship there's a lot of uncertainties.

我覺得當你在一段關係中時，有很多不確定因素。

So, um you have to do things for yourself, you have to think about yourself in the long run, especially when you're young, what Eugene's new job, does he still freelance as a photographer?

所以，嗯，你必須為自己做事情，你必須從長遠角度考慮自己，特別是當你年輕的時候，尤金的新工作是什麼，他仍然是自由職業者的攝影師？

Um I don't really want to go into detail about DJ's job just because that's his privacy right now.

嗯，我真的不想細說DJ的工作，只是因為那是他現在的隱私。

We need to make money and we need to pay bills.

我們需要賺錢，我們需要支付賬單。

He has to have a job, he has to have a full time job.

他必須有一份工作，他必須有一份全職工作。

So that's what he's doing right now.

所以這就是他現在正在做的事情。

He's not home, he's at work, but in L.

他不在家，他在工作，但在L市。

A.

A.

He did a lot of web development, He was a wedding photographer and he took a lot of portraits of actresses and models and things like that.

他做了很多網絡開發，他是一個婚禮攝影師，他拍攝了很多女演員和模特的肖像，諸如此類的事情。

I think eventually he wants to go freelance, but currently he's going to start taking photos on the weekends and working during the week.

我想最終他想成為自由職業者，但目前他要開始在週末拍照，在週末工作。

So if you guys need any photos or a photographer DM him, he does have rates just so you know, he doesn't do it for free because a lot of his photos are bomb as you guys can see like he's super professional, so he loves taking pictures of couples that's kind of like his niche when it comes to photography, but he'll also take photos of people that are traveling or portraits of models or actresses or things like that.

是以，如果你們需要任何照片或攝影師DM他，他確實有費率，只是讓你知道，他不做免費的，因為他的很多照片是炸彈，因為你們可以看到像他是超級專業的，所以他喜歡拍攝夫婦的照片，這有點像他的利基，當它涉及到攝影，但他也會為正在旅行的人或模特或女演員的肖像或類似的東西拍照。

So, DM him, I feel like teaching english in Japan provides a good living.

所以，DM他，我覺得在日本教英語可以提供一個良好的生活。

Good question.

好問題。

Um it depends on the job.

嗯，這取決於工作。

I think that it pays more than most jobs here in Japan.

我認為它的工資比日本這裡的大多數工作要高。

I feel like you kind of need another job to live in Tokyo when I lived in Nagoya, I didn't feel like I was struggling, especially with money, but living in Tokyo has proved to be very difficult, which is why we don't want to stay in Tokyo forever.

我覺得你有點需要另一份工作才能在東京生活，當我住在名古屋時，我不覺得我在掙扎，特別是在錢方面，但事實證明在東京生活是非常困難的，這就是為什麼我們不想永遠呆在東京。

We probably want to move more south.

我們可能想更多地向南移動。

It depends on your lifestyle.

這取決於你的生活方式。

I feel like if you live cheap you can survive.

我覺得如果你住得便宜，你就可以生存。

Yeah.

是的。

Even in the states like teaching doesn't pay that much.

即使是在美國這樣的州，教書的工資也沒有那麼高。

So oh my gosh, how do you feel about raising a family in Japan?

那麼，哦，我的天哪，你對在日本養家餬口有什麼感覺？

Any concerns?

有什麼擔憂嗎？

Yes, I have so many concerns.

是的，我有這麼多顧慮。

I do want to have kids but I also don't want to have kids.

我確實想有孩子，但我也不想有孩子。

I'm not sure it's so scary to live in Japan and raise Children when you're a foreigner and I just am terrified of the trains like commuting with a child.

我不知道在日本生活和養育孩子有多可怕，當你是一個外國人時，我只是對火車感到恐懼，比如帶著孩子通勤。

I see all these moms with the child in the, what do you call it?

我看到所有這些媽媽帶著孩子在，你怎麼稱呼它？

It's like a little sack, is it a sack?

就像一個小麻袋，它是一個麻袋嗎？

I don't know.

我不知道。

But I see these moms that are carrying their Children, they have all these strollers on trains.

但我看到這些媽媽們帶著他們的孩子，他們在火車上有所有這些嬰兒車。

I feel like going to doctors and appointments would be very difficult because my Japanese is only intermediate level.

我覺得去看醫生和預約會非常困難，因為我的日語只有中級水準。

It's not advanced.

這並不先進。

So I'm concerned about that.

所以我很擔心這個問題。

My soon to be husband will be around all the time.

我即將到來的丈夫會一直在身邊。
