[2020-01-31] Why I'm moving to South Korea [DUH2vhKu1Ig]

I have a few announcements to make. I'm

going to Korea maybe tomorrow or the next

day, and me and my wife have decided to

break up. And I've been in this Airbnb for

about a week now. Ouch. I've been here for

about a week now, and I haven't made a

video talking about this yet because I

wanted to make sure 100% that this is

going to happen and we're actually going

to break up. Because I know everyone's fed

up of hearing me talk about how we, we're

getting divorced and then we get back

together and then we break up again and

get back together. But this time I'm

fairly certain that it's 100%

over and there's no going back.

We decided to break up about a week ago.

And there was no fighting, no cheating,

no dramatic storming out. We just decided

between the two of us that it would be

best if we did break up and went our

separate ways. Things haven't really been

great between us since we got back from

England, and that was mainly because—

well, it was mainly my fault. I just felt

kind of depressed and I wasn't giving her

much attention. I was just playing video

games, watching YouTube, chatting on

Discord all day long, even when she was

home. I didn't really talk to her much,

and that was just because I didn't feel

like it and didn't really have anything to

say to her, and I didn't feel like she

would be interested in anything I had to

say anyway, or maybe she wouldn't even

understand what I was interested in

talking about. Plus, I'm getting lazy when

it comes to speaking in Japanese, and it

was just such a pain and a hassle having

to think, how can I form what I want to

say into a Japanese sentence What words do

I need to use? So even if there were

things I wanted to talk to her about, I

couldn't be bothered because I didn't know

the words, or I didn't— I didn't want to

have to figure out how to make the

sentence, so I just didn't say anything.

And doing those 8-hour-long live streams

didn't really help either. She would come

home from work and I would finish doing an

8-hour live stream where I was just

talking on and on and on by myself, And

she got upset. She would say, how come you

can talk so much to strangers on the

internet but you don't even talk to me?

So she said to me that she didn't really

see any point in being with me anymore if

we're not going to talk and we're not

going to do anything together. And I was

getting fed up with being nagged all the

time. I couldn't do anything I enjoyed

without her scolding me. If I chatted on

Discord, she would get upset. If I did

long livestreams, she would get upset. So

I just agreed with her and I said, okay,

I think you're right. Let's just break up.

And I packed my things and I walked out.

And I know what most of you are thinking,

oh, he's just faking it, making it up for

content again. They're just going to get

back together again. But I'm pretty sure

it's over this time, and I can understand

why you might be thinking it's fake. But

in my defense, it would be kind of stupid

for me to fake the same thing again after

I got exposed recently. And when you see

me in Korea in the next video, I think

you'll realize that this isn't fake and

this is actually happening. And actually,

I feel, I feel pretty good. I feel fine.

It's been about a week now that I've been

living by myself. And before, when we

broke up and separated, I really felt

lonely and I would cry myself to sleep and

I actually missed her. But this time,

Being alone and being single, living by

yourself, is pretty great. It's great

because I can do anything I want to, when

I want to, how I want to, and no one's

here nagging me or whinging at me or

complaining. And I just felt really bored

every day because I couldn't do anything I

wanted to. I couldn't go around, I

couldn't move around or go anywhere, I

couldn't meet who I wanted to meet when I

wanted to meet them. And I just, I just

felt really trapped and suffocated in the

marriage. And for those reasons, I decided

that the marriage wasn't worth fighting

for. Anymore, and it'll be better for us,

for me and my wife, if we just found new

people and moved on. And the reason why

I'm leaving Japan is because, well, I have

to. After we get divorced, my spouse visa

won't be valid anymore, and I don't really

care about being in Japan. I haven't even

left this apartment in 3 days now.

There's just nothing about Japan that

really interests me anymore, so I don't

really have any reason to stay. And I've

decided to go to Korea, South Korea, for

several reasons. Number 1, it's the

closest country to Japan. Number 2, it's

pretty cheap. Number 3, it's basically the

same as Japan but slightly different. And

I think it would be interesting to try

living in a different country. I've been

to Korea before, about 4 times, but I

always lived with my ex-girlfriend. I

never lived by myself and I never did

anything for myself or by myself, so this

could be a completely brand new experience

for me. And my plan is I want to stay

there for at least a few weeks or maybe a

month and make videos about Korea, life in

Korea, trying out Tinder in Korea, maybe

do some dating, maybe meet some people,

try the food. I'm not really sure about

jumping straight back into a relationship

so soon. I think being single for a bit

could be a good idea for me. But if you're

a lady and you would like to meet up for

some you-know-what, then I wouldn't say no

to that. Well, I've already booked

everything. I just finished booking the

flights and I'm going to get a hotel near

the airport in Japan, so I'll go to that

hotel tomorrow and then the next day I'll

be getting on the plane going to Seoul.

And I found a pretty nice Airbnb, just

finished booking it. It was a bit

expensive, 2 weeks for $780, but I

think I would like to have a nice place to

get me started. If I really like it there,

then I guess I'll get a different Airbnb

that's a bit cheaper. But for my first,

first few weeks, I think I would like to

have a nice place to stay in. Well,

that's all I had to say for now. I guess

I'll see you at the hotel tomorrow.

Oh wow, I found the beach!

Japanese seaside.

Very pretty. Look, there's no one here.

No one wanted to come to the seaside.

Why not?

I'm checking into the hotel now.

Very fancy.

Wow, this hotel's so big.

Room 6.

2 beds,

TV. Let's have a look outside, see what

the view's like.

Wow,

very nice view from the 29th floor.

We can see the sea And the Ferris wheel.

Ferris wheel, car park,

houses, mountains.

Can you imagine being the people who have

to clean the windows and they have to

stand out there on that ledge?

No thank you! Hopefully I can film the

sunset later, or the sunrise. I'm not sure

where the sun is. Or which way it sets or

rises. We have pajamas,

Japanese-style pajamas, TV,

guest satisfaction survey.

That's me.

I got these face masks as well. I'll show

you later.

But I don't think these are the proper

masks to prevent viruses.

I went everywhere. I went to 5 different

shops. I went to this massive supermarket

and a massive pharmacy. They didn't have

any masks. Everywhere was sold out. All

they had— all they had were these steam

masks and these,

um, other steam masks and these wet masks.

They have filters in them. I don't know if

they prevent viruses though. It's the best

I could do. I guess it's better than

nothing, and I don't really want to get

the flu. Green tea and roasted

green tea. No coffee. What the hell? Good

job I brought my own coffee. Um, bathtub.

So yes, we will be having a steaming bath

tonight. My new favorite hobby is having

a steaming bath and then relaxing on my

bed not wearing anything.

There's a nice mental image for you.

Yeah, it's a pretty good hotel right next

to the train station. Check-in at 2 PM,

unlike the other hotel which wanted me to

wait until 4 PM, as if I was going to wait

until 4 PM to check in. Why,

why do I have to wait until 4 PM? And it

wasn't even close to the station. It was

miles away. I had to walk half an hour to

get there. So this hotel is much better.

It'll take me 5 minutes to walk to the

station and then about 12 minutes to get

to the Aeroporto, which I think is— is

that it over there?

I think that is the airport. Would be cool

if I could see some aeroplanes coming in

and coming out. Oh, it's a bird. Well,

for the rest of today, since it's only 2

PM, I want to do some organizing because

my bag is really heavy and I don't know

why. Can you imagine if I still had my

laptop? Would have weighed a ton. So I

need to get rid of some stuff.

Okay, I managed to get rid of absolutely

nothing. Still weighs exactly the same. I

got rid of this, a few bits and bobs,

but they didn't weigh anything. I don't

understand why it weighs so much.

We get 1, 2, 3. Very generous.

Smells like nothing. It looks like a

regular face mask.

I wonder if it will save me from the

plague. Oh, it has these filter things

here, and it's supposed to gently

steam your face. That doesn't sound safe.

Okay, let's try this on. Which way does it

go on? I think it goes on this way.

Yeah, it's pretty good. I feel like

there's a good seal around my face.

The problem is when I breathe out, it

steams up my glasses.

Can you see steamy cloudy glasses?

But there's still a bit of a gap here. I

think if there's a gap, then the particles

could still get in. I don't know if

I can use this because it keeps clouding

up my glasses and

there's no little metal strip to hold

this in place. Let's try the next one.

Hmm, this one looks a bit better. And,

um, you get these little filter things

that you can slot inside.

Oh, it's wet! That's why it's called a wet

mask. And this is supposed to keep your

throat moisturized.

Smells, smells like fruit.

Quite nice actually. So this one

is a square shape and then goes

on like this.

I don't know if this is— oh, this has the

metal strip at the top so it holds its

shape. I think this one's better.

What do you think?

I quite like this one.

Oh, what kind of world are we living in?

We can't even go outside now without

wearing a mask. It's kind of sad, isn't

it? And then this is the last orange one.

It's really hard to breathe. It gets,

gets pretty stuffy when you put that mask

on. This one

also has little wet filters.

I could wear a double mask. I'd be double

Oh, it's the same, same design.

Oh wow, I just put the orange one back on

and it's, it's hot. It's getting warm

here. It's quite nice actually,

especially when it's cold outside. Keep my

face warm. This is nice.

I'm not sure why it suddenly activated. I

think when you've opened it, it starts

heating up. Oh no, I missed the sunset.

I forgot. Sorry about that.

Well, it's still setting. Look, it's going

orange.

Orange. Oh, green.

Well, it's getting a bit late now, so I'm

going to find some food and then go to

bed. Next time I see you, I'll be in South

Korea, hopefully. Oh yes,

this is the life. Tasty bento. A nice

cold beer and Peter bloody Jones.

Love you, Peter.

Oh yes, oh yes.
