A lot of you probably know we've been talking about wanting to move for years

But one of the big reasons is we don't have any friends here anymore.

Our last friend who lived close to us moved away... when almost a year ago now?

Turns out having a community and friends for you to go hang out with is like really important

to your mental health, so this has been a really depressing year for us.

We've been trying to go spend more time with friends

like go visit friends,  but it's really expensive to travel a lot

so it'd be great if we could live a little bit closer to people we know.

And also we thought it's a good opportunity for us to show some

parts we don't like about this apartment.

Okay this apartment is really beautiful and that's the main reason we picked it

because we have to be here so often to edit videos and I wanted something that

makes me happy while I'm like in here all day staring at it.

And if you start looking closely at things you notice some places where things aren't quite ideal.

because I didn't have enough room to show your feet.

they are too low for Jun to be able to walk through.

So he has to duck going through every single doorway in our apartment.

I mean... I'm taller than normal, but still this is-

Even if I'm like average height, 175cm or something

When we first moved here I went to the home center

and they have these like- hey can you come here-

They have these like... safety foam corner pads

that are supposed to be for professional stuff

but I bought a bunch and then I spray painted them white to fit in with our apartment

Mmmm... I think seriously though, literally I hit it more than 37

times or something over the past four years.

Although if you look here at the thickness of this concrete beam here

it's quite thick so another issue is not just running into it,

R: And there's nothing I can do to pad this. J: Ahh please don't make me remember that.

So this is the door that we use to get out  onto our balcony

which is where we store our trash and the cat litter and cat cage.

And it is really freaking difficult to open!

You have to open it from like a really low angle to be able to get a good grip to open it

and even then sometimes it just really does not want to open.

And also, the spot where you put your fingers is so shallow

because if you use your fingertips your fingers can slip so easily because it's really shallow

that it just like rips the nails right off of your fingers

which has happened to me multiple times. It's really painful lol

Our new apartment has a much better handhold so hopefully I won't have to lose nails anymore.

And I'm not sure if you can see here very well. This is single pane glass.

All of our windows and doors are single pane glass because this is just

how old buildings were in Japan. Everything was single pane glass, so as

you can imagine there's no soundproofing with this. There's no heat insulation or

cold insulation. And because the door doesn't even shut all of the way... like

none of the doors shut all of the way... like the heat just goes right out.

The cold air comes in in the winter. If you put your hand here you could just feel like

And then also, our downstairs neighbor is  a very heavy smoker.

And he smokes on his balcony or in the stairwell or literally everywhere.

J: He just smells like them. R: He's 90% cigarettes.

And the smoke just comes right through these cracks in these doors into our apartment

and it makes us smell like smoke and it's gross.

Um here, let's show you something fun in the bathroom.

So in one of the recent videos we made I showed you guys that they got the wrong

door for this apartment. It locks from the outside so you can

We asked the realtor when we were checking this apartment

and he wasn't sure, but he was like "Yeahh why is it outside?"

And they didn't use waterproof paint in the bathroom on the windowsill

so almost immediately after we started taking baths...

Here Jun, how about you sit on the toilet and show people how big our toilet room is.

There's no room. There's no room for tall people!

I mean it's really narrow even for someone my size.

He says that like it's a job but he's the one who bought this

and decided he was gonna do it and flip the day every day.

J: I've been! R: I didn't make this decision.
