Living in a Capsule Hotel because I'm Poor

Wow, it's actually quite big.

Bigger than I expected.

Oh wow, look at the bed.

What's this?

Blinds for privacy.

I finished unpacking my stuff.

As you can see, I have my Switch,

Switch controller, toothbrush,

Dental floss, shampoo, coffee,

moisturizer, face wash, toothpaste,

shaver. The main problem is there's no

kettle, so I don't know how I'm going to

make coffee. I guess I could buy

a cheap kettle, but then there's no fridge

for milk or to put food.

So now I have to go to the supermarket and

see what kind of food I can get without

cooking.

Bread and peanut

butter spread,

bacon and tomato, beer.

Okay, so I'm back from shopping.

Let me show you what I bought. I spent

a total of €22, which is

Quite a lot for me.

So this is all the food I bought for €22.

Now before, my tactic was spend a lot of

money on a nice place that has a kitchen

and then save a lot of money by cooking my

own food. But this time I thought I'd try

a different tactic where I would spend

very little on my accommodation but

then spend a bit more on food. So since we

don't have a kitchen or a kettle, means I

can't have my coffee,

which is— where is it? This one,

and I can't cook any food like pasta or

rice. So here's what I have come up

with. For coffee, we have

cold coffee,

two cups of Starbucks cold coffee.

For fruit, we have.

Oranges. Orange is a very good source of

vitamin C. For tonight's dinner,

we have cold pasta,

35% discount. Quite good, and you

get quite a lot, but it's a bit expensive.

€5. For €5,

you could buy pasta, like a bag

of pasta, and make Loads.

So that's for dinner.

And then I got this apple banana

smoothie, €2.

Now for tomorrow's lunch,

um, we have roasted

bacon and I got a loaf of bread.

So I can make a sandwich.

So I can make 1, 2,

3, 4, 5, 6 sandwiches.

And the roast bacon goes in the sandwich.

And then we have slices of cheese.

30 slices of cheese. Maybe it's a bit too

much cheese. And then we have some salad,

ricotta, so I can make a cheese,

bacon, and salad sandwich.

And then for snacking, I got some

pom-poms

and I got chocolate mousse.

And in case I still feel hungry, I got

this pizza toastie.

And I also found this fork knife—

no, not a knife, it's a fork spoon thing.

I found it on the street, so I'll have

that with my pasta.

So here is my food larder. Now,

if you're too young to know what a larder

is, it was basically a little storage room

you would have in your house before the

invention of the refrigerator. People had

to store food in their larder. My granddad

used to have one and it was full of cheese

and jam and weird stuff. So this is my

larder. It's actually kind of interesting

interesting challenge. Try not to live

without a fridge challenge, or a kitchen.

And over here I have my products to keep

myself looking fresh and clean. Always

need to look fresh and clean.

I don't know how long it's gonna last me

for, but I would say,

um, maybe a couple of days. But obviously

I'll have to buy food again tomorrow for

tomorrow's dinner because I don't want to

have sandwiches 4 times a day for 2 days

straight. Let's see how fast the free

Wi-Fi is in this capsule hotel.

Oh my God, 40,

40,

30. Oh, it's starting to drop. I thought

it was going to be 46. 40 is quite good.

Oh wow, 20 megabits per second upload

speed. The internet is really good here.

I can't believe the internet is so fast

here. Very impressive.

Oh wow, look, there's also an app and you

can connect it to your room and then you

can change the lighting.

Sunset, disco,

romance. Oh, I like this one.

You can choose your own colors as well.

Look, we can make it red,

and then you can change the brightness,

make it lighter or darker,

make it blue.

Do you like blue?

Blue's quite nice, very relaxing,

wouldn't you say so?

I think the best thing about this capsule

hotel is— ouch— you

have the ability to stand up. Which in

most capsule hotels you cannot stand up.

You can only go in and lie down.

Look, I can stand up, reach out, and even

if you're quite a tall person, you'll have

lots of space. It's just kind of annoying

having to whisper all the time.

I don't know how soundproof it is. Also,

the check-in was really good. For

check-in, you do self-check-in and there's

like a touchscreen and you enter your

booking number and then you take one of

these wristbands and then you can just let

yourself in. It's really, really good if

you don't like talking to people like me.

Okay, for dinner I will have my pasta with

bacon.

And I'll have my apple

smoothie and might

have my pizza toasty.
