How to make Spaghetti with Sausages

I'm back from the supermarket. Got myself

a bag of mystery goodies. Well, not really

mysteries because I picked them out. I

spent 16,000 won, which is

about $13. Unfortunately,

I couldn't get any good meat because it

was so expensive. I don't understand why

the meat here is so expensive. You have to

spend at least $15 just to get a plastic

tub of beef or pork.

So expensive compared to the restaurant me

and that American guy went to a few nights

ago where it was only $12 per person and

it was a 2-hour all-you-can-eat. So I

don't understand how you can go to a

restaurant and eat unlimited pork for only

12 hours— I mean, for only $12 for 2

hours— when you go to a supermarket

It will cost you $15 just for a tub of

meat that only lasts you for about 2

meals. I think I'm doing something wrong,

but this supermarket is pretty close and

it's so cold outside. So cold outside,

I don't really want to walk any further to

find a cheaper supermarket or some kind of

street market, which I don't think any of

the street markets would be open at this

time and Last time I checked in the street

market, they didn't really have meat. You

had to go to a butcher, and then I would

have to talk to people. So I think this is

the best option, even though it's not that

great. Anyway, this is what I got today.

I got some cheap sausages, $2.

I could put that into the spaghetti that I

got. I got spaghetti.

$1.70. I think I can get 2 meals out of

this. Got some wafers,

hazelnut cream. That costs about

less than a dollar, I think. I got some

protein— uh, not protein bars. I got some

cornflake bars. Cost about $2

for 4 bars. I like these, they're quite

nice. I got a jar of

spaghetti sauce, cost $4.

Quite expensive just for sauce, but you

need sauce with spaghetti. I can't just

have dry spaghetti. And I got some

sweet corn. This is quite good, only cost

$1. Some of the things in supermarket are

pretty cheap, Like cabbage or mushrooms,

but then meat is really expensive. Fruit

is really expensive as well. I got some

mayonnaise for $2. It's quite good.

And I got some— got

some tuna, mild tuna,

chamchi in Korean. This cost $2. It's

quite good. So with the tuna and the

mayonnaise and the sweet corn, I can make

like a sweet corn mayonnaise tuna paste

and then just make a sandwich. Lots of

bread left over. And then for dinner,

I'll make spaghetti using

the sausages and the tomato sauce.

And then this can be like dessert. And

then this can be Breakfast, maybe? What

else do I have in the fridge? I've got one

orange. Such a depressing-looking fridge.

One orange. It's been a while since I had

spaghetti.

Do I have a pot? I think this frying pan's

a bit small.

Hmm, I think I could use the frying pan.

But I would have to snap the spaghetti

into 2.

I think we need something bigger.

See if they gave me a pot.

No pots. Hmm,

I'll use this big one.

It's got burnt stuff stuck to it when I

didn't wash it properly. Okay, so I have

the spaghetti snapped in half, and then

we'll just boil that. I'm not sure how

long. I guess just until it goes shoft—

shoft? I guess until it goes soft.

What the hell does shoft mean? And then we

just need to— should I fry the sausages?

I guess so. That's for dinner.

Today's dinner.

It's pretty bleak, isn't it? But I really

don't want to spend $15 just for some

meat. I can't believe how expensive the

meat is here. In Japan, I could get 2

meals worth of meat for about $2 easily.

In Korea, No way, no way. I would

have to spend at least 10 times that, or 5

times. I'd have to spend at least $15.

Well, the chicken's pretty cheap. You can

get chicken for about $5. Maybe I get

chicken next. I could have gotten chicken

for $5, then a piece of cabbage, made a

stir fry maybe.

I didn't expect the food to be such

hassle. In Japan, it was always so easy.

You can just get a carrot for

50 cents and then a lump of meat for $2,

and you can easily make a really cheap

meal. But in Korea, maybe I'm just not

going to the right places.

I don't want to go to those street

markets. They just— I don't like it. Too

much interaction with people. And it

didn't really seem that much cheaper

anyway. The main problem

is getting meat. I don't know where I can

get some cheap meat apart from this

processed stuff. The processed meat is,

is fairly cheap. You can get some Spam for

a dollar, but I don't really want to be

living off of processed meat. I want to

get some proper meat, you know, like pork

chop, beef chop. I don't

know. Anyway, I had quite an interesting

day today.

Um, not sure if I should talk about it. I

guess I could. Well, something kind of

strange happened.

I suddenly started getting messages from

this Japanese person. And she said she's

23, and then she started messaging me

saying that she's going to come to Korea

and she would like to meet me. And I said

okay. And you might be

thinking it's fake, she's a catfish. So I

asked her to send me some voice messages,

and she did. And she's definitely a woman,

she's definitely a girl, definitely

Japanese. Not sure if she's actually 23.

Her voice did sound fairly young.

Usually when a woman's old, in her late

30s or 40s, then you can tell she's an

elderly— I mean, she's an older woman.

She definitely had a young voice. Now the

problem is she won't send me a photo of

herself. She sent me a photo of her face

wearing a mask, and she

had medium-long— medium-length brown hair,

but I couldn't really tell what she looked

like. I don't know why she doesn't want to

show me her face. She said, you'll see it

when we meet, and then if you don't like

how I look, then we can go our separate

ways. Um, but then we started voice

messaging each other, and, um, let's just

say that Uh, I don't—

I can't even say it because I want to make

at least a couple dollars off this video.

How can I say it? Let's just say we did

adult things over the voice messages and

she seems to be really into me. Now I

still feel kind of suspicious because it

just sounds way too good to be true. This

is like my wildest fantasy come true.

Young, Cute-sounding Japanese girl really

likes me and is gonna come all the way

here just to see me for a week so we can

do you know what.

And yeah, we did discuss doing you know

what, and it's pretty much confirmed that

it will happen. What do you think?

I don't know. I'm kind of convinced.

I'm pretty 100% sure she's real because I

heard her voice. But I don't know what she

looks like. I guess I don't mind too much

what she looks like. It's not like I've

ever been fussy. Well, I am pretty fussy,

but I mean, I wouldn't say no even

if she was really ugly looking.

Or would I? I mean, how ugly would she

have to be for me to say, sorry, I'm not

interested? Because I am pretty lonely and

it would be nice to have some human

company. But then if she's here for a

week and we're together for a week, how am

I going to make videos? So if I suddenly

just disappear from YouTube for a week,

then you'll know where I am. How am

I supposed to make videos when I've got

this young Japanese girl with me who's

really into me. Maybe she wouldn't mind if

I just made a video with, with her. I'm

not sure, we didn't talk about it.

Well, as you can imagine, I'm pretty

excited about that, but it's not going to

happen soon. She said she'll be coming in

March. I said, why don't you come in

February? She said she has work. So I

don't know if this whole thing is real or

not, or if it's actually gonna happen,

but we'll see.

We'll see in March. I guess

that, that, that decides whether I'm going

to stay in Korea or not. I've got a very

good reason to stay until March now.

And, um, what else am I doing? Yeah, next

week I'm meeting this French girl. She's

kind of interesting as well, but I don't

want to say anything in case she gets

upset. I really need to make the video

with her because I don't really know what

else to make. The last video with the

American guy did okay for views, but

didn't do fantastically. Didn't do as well

as the Hong Kong guy video did.

I feel like in general people aren't

really interested in Korea that much

anyway, and I don't have any drama because

I don't have my wife anymore to make drama

videos about. So I'm kind of

stuck actually. I just jumped out of one

frying pan into another. It was okay

at first, you know, it's all interesting

at the beginning. Oh, Daniel's moving to

Korea. Got decent views on those 2. But

now what? Now I'm settling into daily

life. Not much is happening apart from I'm

gonna meet a girl.

So is my channel just gonna completely be

about meeting girls? What else am I gonna

do? I just don't know what to do for

content anymore.

There's hardly any drama to rant about.

There's nothing I really want to talk

about. I guess I could do 10 reasons why

living in Korea sucks. Still a bit too

early to do that. I came up with 7

reasons why living in Korea sucks.

They're kind of stupid reasons, but Since

when have my videos ever not had stupid

reasons? All of my videos are stupid

reasons, aren't they? If you watch them.

But when have I ever made a video that had

good points? I don't have any good points

because I don't really care about the

things I'm talking about.

It's like, um, compare me to Nobita, for

example. He'll come up with pretty good

points, you know, about living in Japan.

And then you watch my video, and then my

main complaint about living in Japan was

the bacon doesn't taste good.

It's because I just don't really care,

you know. Japan's fine as a country.

Korea is fine as well.

I don't really have any big issues.

Living here. I just feel like last year

and 2 years ago I had so many things to

make videos about. So much was happening—

meeting girls, getting married, living in

Japan for the first time. Well, not the

first time, for the first time

permanently. My channel was blowing up.

I felt like everyone was really interested

in anything I had to say, and I just made

videos with confidence,

confidence knowing that a majority of

people subscribed to me would be

interested in it. But now it's become

blatantly obvious that I've got loads

of subscribers that don't even watch

anymore. I think I've lost them forever,

and it just kind of sucks now because I

feel like there's this immense pressure to

make stuff that people are going to watch.

Otherwise, the channel is just going to

fail. I keep putting out videos that get

terrible views, then the algorithm stops

pushing them out to people, and then I'll

just build up more and more inactive subs.

It's the sad truth of making YouTube

content. People keep saying, why don't you

just make stuff you want to make? You

can't. You You can't just make stuff you

want to make because then the channel will

fail. I'll make stuff I want to make on

this channel because I don't really care

about it. Barely gets any views anyway.

But no, I can't. There's too much at

stake. I need to make stuff that I feel

confident will get views. And people just

don't understand that because they don't

understand what it's like having a

channel. Running a channel and trying to

do a good job at it

doesn't really work like that.

Imagine if I uploaded this video onto the

main channel. Wouldn't get any views.

Oh, Daniel's making spaghetti. Wow.

Anyway, I guess I have to just think about

it. Think about what kind of content I can

make in Korea. But then I don't want the

next 20 videos on my main channel to be

blah blah blah in Korea, blah blah blah in

Korea, trying Korean blah blah blah.

I don't think my subscribers care that

much about Korea.

So yeah, I'm in a bit of a pickle,

really. I'm kind of depending on women at

the moment to get me started on my next

adventure,

so it's nice that I have a few options

right now.

Yeah, it'll be fine, it'll be fine.

You might be wondering if I like Korean

girls. What do I think of the women here?

And to be honest,

even though I haven't been outside much,

the few times I did go outside, I haven't

actually seen any girls that made me

think, wow, she looks amazing, or made my

heart beat fast. I think that might be

because it's cold now and everyone's

wearing these really big coats and they're

wearing face masks, so I can't really see

what they look like anyway. But when I was

in Japan, it didn't matter where I went—

could have just been down to the shop— I

would have seen loads of cute looking

girls. I don't know why, but I,

I just think Japanese women look really

attractive. Maybe it's the fashion, the

hairstyle.

I think that the hairstyles and the

fashions in is kind of different here,

kind of plain. Not really my type of

fashion that I'm into when it comes to

women. Also the language, I don't really

find the language to be very cute. It just

sounds very harsh, very shouty and

aggressive sounding, not very feminine

sounding. I hear girls talking

to each other outside here And I think it

doesn't really sound very cute compared to

Japanese. Also, the tone of Korean women,

their voice in general, is kind of lower

compared to Japanese women. And when I was

voice messaging that Japanese girl that I

was talking about, it just reminded me,

wow, this is why I fell in love with the

Japanese language, because it sounds so

bloody cute. I don't know what it is about

it. I don't even know what she looks like,

but I feel attracted to her just from

hearing her voice. I mean, she could be—

I have no idea what she looks like, but

just hearing her voice was arousing.

I don't know if the same thing would have

happened if she spoke in English. How can

you have this attraction to the sound of a

language It's just a sound. So strange.

Anyway, I think the spaghetti is ready.

So what do we do now? I need to get it

over onto the plate, or I

could drain the water and then add the

sauce into the pan.

Spaghetti has been transferred. That's

quite a lot of spaghetti, isn't it? Maybe

I shouldn't have taken so much. Now we

have to add sausages.

Oh no, I dropped some.

I can't pick them up, they're all slimy.

It'll be fine, don't worry.

I quite like making videos like this.

It's easy. It's a bit like livestreaming,

isn't it? But offline. You might be

wondering, why don't I just livestream

then? That's because I don't really like

it anymore. I don't like to say this

because it sounds like I'm begging. I

don't like to complain about not getting

donations because I guess I'm not entitled

to them, but it's just so depressing when

you're streaming for hours and hours and

you barely get anything. And then you

watch other people like Sora the Troll and

he's getting hundreds of dollars. And then

I remember I also used to get hundreds of

dollars back in the day when people still

watch my channel. Now I get like 20,

maybe 30, and it's just so

depressing. And then you get idiots in the

live chat trying to piss me off,

and then it just ruins my mood. It's nicer

to make videos like this.

I don't get distracted by the chat either.

I keep flipping between which one I like

more. Sometimes I love streaming because I

get loads of donations,

but then you do a few streams in a row

where you barely get anything. It just— it

kind of crushes your morale, makes you

feel like people don't like you.

They don't like what you're making.

Oops, better turn this on.

Oh no, no, no. No, no, not again! Ah,

it's hot,

it's hot, it's hot, it's hot!

Why do they keep rolling everywhere?

Okay, now we have to add the spaghetti

sauce. This is going to be tricky because

the plate is a bit small.

Oh wait, but the tomato sauce is cold.

Did not think this through. It's been such

a long time since I made spaghetti. Now

I'm going to have cold sauce on top of—

what if I microwave the sauce in a bowl?

That's a good idea.

I could have put the spaghetti into the

And then we just pour it on top.

And that is how you make a massive

mess of spaghetti.

Should be fine.

Well, I'm gonna go now and enjoy my

spaghetti, watch some Star Trek. I'm

really enjoying Star Trek right now. It's

really helping me with my loneliness.

It's kind of comforting. You've got this

crew of people working together to

achieve something or overcome something.

Oh, I made a mess. I might start making

videos every day on this second channel.

I can just turn the second channel into

what the first channel used to be, which

was basically just this rambling and

ranting about stuff that's going on in my

life without worrying about views. Uh,

we'll see if I can make at

least $5 off it per video, then that's 5

times 10, 50, times 3,

$150 a month. That would cover my food

expenses. Pretty good.
