If you’re coming from the US or Canada, I recommended starting by your Asia adventure in Japan.

A lot of budget airlines fly from Tokyo to a lot of other amazing cities like Ho Chi Minh, Taipei, Bangkok,for under $200 USD.

That’s how I’m able to country hop and spend like than $2000 over the course of 3 months.

Kishiwada Danjiri is so fire. I went 3 time and every time I learn a little more about it. I love Osaka for that reason, it hasn’t really been shown outside of Dotonbori and Yuniba (USJ.)

The festival is every September and the weather is still hot af

I feel like this is kinda like the Japanese version of gonna, finna, wanna. Some people use it, some people don’t. Personally, I say that s**t all the time #日本語

Learning through textbooks and Anki works for some people, but for normal people like me, getting started is as easy as watching your favourite show, or playing your favourite game and shadowing.

Don’t give up lil habibi-sama

You don’t quit Japanese cause it’s hard, it’s cause you’re learning in an outdated way.

I learned most of my Japanese (before I moved to Osaka) through TV, dating, and friends. There’s always a way to make learning fun and work for you, you just gotta find it.

Are we really black viltrumites? Is Japan afraid of us? Find out on the next episode of Nakamandem Z

Vietnam was such a vibe. Lowkey miss eating pho at random times of the day. Yeah, Da Nang is fire

I have never faced overt racism in Japan (lots of micro transgressions) but just like other countries, there are racists in Japan for sure.

Being black, Indian, Chinese doesn’t matter in Japan, we’re all Gaijin. メリットデメリットやな

食べ歩き (tabearuki) is one of the most controversial topics in Japan….. for ni**as that have not actually been to Japan.

First of all, eating and walking is not something you should do all the time but it’s definitely not illegal nor something that bothers people UNLESS you’re just being a di****ad.

Learn the term KY and you’ll be fine in Japan.

A lot of “Japan” content is kinda exaggerated so I’m here to show you the actual rules and lifestyle of someone who lived in Japan for 4 years.

Japan (like most countries) has societal rules but a lot of people make videos (whether negative or positive) to continue to make Japan seem like this far off society. It’s normal, trust me.

I wasn’t ready for Kyoto but it was ready for me.

I have visited Kyoto more than any other city in Japan. I’ve had my heart broken there, been stranded in the middle of winter when the 終電 left, and face all of what I am in that bumbaclot city.

Welcome to Kyoto, through the eyes of a sad boy who became a man through failure.

Be safe my nakamandem
