Um I don't know what's going on with that because I've been trying to contact him, but he hasn't been saying anything.

But anyway, I'm just gonna head to the park and just chill.

Yeah.

是的。

With all the crowds and the noise, I sometimes feel a rush of anxiety, but I find the more I put myself in environments like this, the less overpowering.

在所有的人群和噪音中，我有時會感到一陣焦慮，但我發現我越是把自己放在這樣的環境中，就越不容易被壓倒。

My anxiety becomes even vlogging in public by myself is something that I'd really like to overcome.

我的焦慮甚至變成了自己在公共場合發微博，這是我非常想克服的問題。

So I'm doing it.

所以我正在做。

There's so many people at this park that are practicing things for school, playing sports or doing their homework or talking to people, There's just so many groups and meetups here.

在這個公園裡有很多人在為學校練習東西，做運動或做功課或與人交談，這裡有很多團體和聚會。

It's really interesting to see like these girls are like practicing their um play or something or speeches over here.

看到這些女孩就像在練習他們的嗯戲或什麼的，或者在這邊演講，真的很有趣。

There's an accordion player over there, violin player on the other side, it's so nice, everyone's having little picnics, you can come here and have picnics and it's just so pretty, look at the trees, so nice, I see a bathroom in the distance, so I'm going to head over there, so pretty, yeah, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

那邊有手風琴演奏者，另一邊有小提琴演奏者，真好，每個人都在進行小野餐，你可以來這裡野餐，真是太漂亮了，看看這些樹，真好，我看到遠處有衛生間，所以我要去那裡，真漂亮，對，我要去衛生間。

Mhm okay, so I'm kind of sitting under a tree right now, I just kind of wanted to talk about one thing that I really, really hate about living in Japan, the one thing that I really hate is the fact that I don't get to see a lot of my friends, a lot of my friends have gotten married and I wasn't able to be there.

好吧，所以我現在有點坐在樹下，我只是有點想談談我非常非常討厭生活在日本的一件事，我非常討厭的一件事是我沒能見到我的很多朋友，我的很多朋友已經結婚了，我沒能在那裡。

A lot of my family have had birthday, you know, you miss those things when you live in Japan, that's such a hard thing to deal with and the fact that I got to see my friend today, Stephanie, like we've been friends since the beginning of college and we haven't seen each other in five years.

我的很多家人都過了生日，你知道，當你生活在日本時，你會懷念這些事情，這是一個很難處理的事情，而事實上，我今天能看到我的朋友斯蒂芬妮，就像我們從大學開始就是朋友，我們已經五年沒有看到對方了。

I feel like we message each other from time to time, but it's just not the same when you don't see somebody all the times if you're in a relationship and you meet somebody here in Japan and then you move back to, you know, your own country, like you don't get to see that person, you have to make long distance work, you, you just, you have to sacrifice those things, you have to sacrifice time with family, I'm very close with my family.

我覺得我們不時地給對方發資訊，但如果你在一段關係中，你在日本這裡遇到某人，然後你搬回，你知道，你自己的國家，就像你沒有機會看到那個人，你必須使長距離工作，你，你只是，你必須犧牲這些東西，你必須犧牲與家人的時間，我和我的家人非常親密。

So sacrificing time with them is really, really hard, luckily, you know, there's messaging and there's Skype and all that stuff, so thank God for that, but if none of that was around, I think that would have been really, really hard for me to do.

是以，犧牲與他們在一起的時間真的很難，幸運的是，你知道，有消息，有Skype和所有這些東西，所以感謝上帝，但如果沒有這些東西在身邊，我認為這對我來說真的很難做到。

I feel like long distance is such a big part of your life.

我覺得長距離是你生活中的一個重要部分。

When you live here, you make friends with people that have lived in Japan foreigners mostly and then they end up going back to their home countries and it's really, really hard to say goodbye.

當你住在這裡時，你會和那些在日本生活過的人交朋友，他們大多是外國人，然後他們最終會回到自己的國家，這真的很難說再見。

So I'm always constantly saying goodbye, you have to be used to, you have to get used to saying goodbye, that's going to be a part of your life when you live here unless you make some japanese friends, which I have, but unfortunately like my schedule is so different from a japanese workday, Like a lot of my japanese friends work from like, you know 9 to 10, you have to prepare yourself for those goodbyes and I think that's like the hardest thing about living in Japan, it's such a beautiful day, look at these trees, there's always events and stuff going on over this, this bridge.

所以我總是不斷地說再見，你必須習慣，你必須習慣說再見，這將是你在這裡生活的一部分，除非你交了一些日本朋友，我有，但不幸的是，我的日程安排與日本人的工作日如此不同。我的很多日本朋友的工作時間是9點到10點，你必須為這些告別做好準備，我認為這是在日本生活最難的事情，今天的天氣真好，看看這些樹，在這座橋上總有一些活動和事情發生。

So okay, I kind of want to show you guys what that looks like, why is there snow a little piece of michigan, so I don't know what the festival is about, but it looks really fun.

所以好吧，我有點想讓你們看看那是什麼樣子，為什麼有雪的密歇根州的一小塊，所以我不知道這個節日是怎麼回事，但它看起來真的很有趣。

I think it was like some kind of fundraiser or whatever.

我想這就像某種籌款活動或其他什麼。

It's getting dark so early now and it's like the temperature is dropping so hard, really fast.

現在天黑得很早，氣溫好像下降得很厲害，真的很快。

So the Youtuber I was supposed to meet never responded to my message at this point.

是以，我本該見到的Youtuber此時從未回覆我的資訊。

So I messaged a guy I've been seeing for a little bit.

所以我給一個我已經交往了一段時間的人發了資訊。

We aren't together anymore, but I think he was probably one of my best dates as of today and now.

我們已經不在一起了，但我認為他可能是我最好的約會對象之一，從今天到現在。

A good friend.

一個好朋友。

You're crossing the other way like that.

你就這樣穿過另一條路。

Wait, what?

等等，什麼？

What?

什麼？

Yeah, where are you?

是的，你在哪裡？

Are we eating here?

我們在這裡吃飯嗎？

Mhm.

嗯。

Okay, so we're at chili's, I've been here before 100 times and I'm going to order a chicken ranchero burrito.

好吧，我們在Chili's，我以前來過這裡100次，我打算點一個雞肉ranchero捲餅。

Like I always do.

就像我一貫的做法。

If there's one place I recommend for a date, it's Harajuku.

如果有一個地方是我推薦的約會對象，那就是原宿。

The window shopping will get some conversations going for sure.

櫥窗購物肯定會引起一些對話。

Power puff girls.

權力的泡芙女孩。

Okay, I'm at one of my favorite stores right now and we see power puff girls stuff because it's new.

好吧，我現在在我最喜歡的一家商店裡，我們看到了電源泡芙女孩的東西，因為它是新的。

Look how cute it is.

看看它是多麼可愛。

Oh my God, do you like to look at this store?

哦，我的上帝，你喜歡看這家店嗎？

It's like insane.

這簡直是瘋了。

Later on in the night we met up with ash for a drink and the night and I also needed a hard drive from him.

晚些時候，我們與阿什見面，喝了一杯，晚上，我還需要他的一個硬盤。

I got my hard drive.

我得到了我的硬盤。

This is what I needed today.

這是我今天所需要的。

This whole video is all for this.

這整個視頻都是為了這個。

We went to a place called commune second, which has a lot of outdoor kiosks of food and alcohol.

我們去了一個叫第二公社的地方，那裡有很多戶外的食品和酒的福利社。

It's probably my favorite place to chat and hang out with friends.

這可能是我最喜歡的與朋友哈拉和閒逛的地方。

We have hot wine, there's apple in it.

我們有熱葡萄酒，裡面有蘋果。

Okay.

好的。

I'm going to get some wine and have a drink because today was a really long day was supposed to meet that person that I was talking about earlier and he didn't message me until two hours after the time that we were supposed to meet.

我要去買點酒，喝上一杯，因為今天真是漫長的一天，本來要去見我之前說的那個人，但他直到我們應該見面的時間過了兩個小時才給我發資訊。

So cool.

太酷了。

This lighting is awful.

這種照明太糟糕了。

I look like I'm like, I just woke up and you want me to hold the camera Okay.

我看起來就像，我剛剛醒來，你要我拿著相機 好的。

So it's the next day and um, I just want to say sorry about the close behind me.

所以現在是第二天，嗯，我只想對我身後的近距離說聲抱歉。

They're doing construction so I can't really put them outside.

他們在做建築，所以我不能真的把他們放在外面。

I did go on a date, but like I'm not, I'm so much more focused on my other stuff that it's not really my priority right now.

我確實去約會了，但就像我沒有一樣，我更專注於我的其他事情，這不是我現在真正的重點。

And as much as I want to find somebody and I want to find someone mostly in the creative fields because I feel like a lot of people like that understand more of what I do.

就像我想找人一樣，我想找一個主要在創意領域的人，因為我覺得很多這樣的人更瞭解我的工作。

I guess I think somebody that's like into like design or photography or video.

我想我認為有人喜歡進入像設計或攝影或視頻。

Honestly, like I'd rather be single than be with somebody that doesn't really support or understand what I do.

說實話，就像我寧願單身，也不願意和那些不真正支持或理解我的人在一起。

The guy that I went out with in this video was so nice and so kind, but honestly, like, I feel like we're more friends and that's totally fine.

在這段視頻中和我約會的那個人是那麼好，那麼善良，但說實話，我覺得我們更像是朋友，這完全沒問題。

Honestly, like I just wanted to kind of show what it's like to be single in Japan.

說實話，我只是想展示一下在日本單身是什麼樣子的。

I think there's a lot of Youtubers that are coupled up or married or whatever.

我認為有很多Youtubers是有配偶的，或者已經結婚或其他什麼。

I don't really know many Youtubers here in Japan that are single.

在日本，我真的不知道有多少Youtubers是單身。

I hope that's like, okay to show obviously, like I'm not, obviously I'm not going to show all my dates actually don't date that often.

我希望這就像，可以顯示顯然，就像我不是，顯然我不會顯示我所有的約會實際上不經常約會。

This is like the first date in a while.

這就像一段時間以來的第一次約會。

So to be honest, I'd prefer to meet somebody a lot more naturally and in person, I'm busy.

所以說實話，我更希望能更自然地和人見面，我很忙。

So that's why like I use some dating apps and stuff.

所以這就是為什麼像我使用一些約會應用程序和東西。

So, but like I said, it's not my priority and I'm enjoying my life right now and I'm so excited because I am, I have so many projects that I want to work on and I'm excited to get going on that.

所以，但就像我說的，這不是我的優先事項，我現在正在享受我的生活，我非常興奮，因為我有這麼多的項目，我想去工作，我很興奮地去做這些事情。

And I think down the line when you focus on the things that you love and do, you'll meet somebody and you won't expect it and I think that's the way I want it to happen.
