Oh my, this is, I don't even know if I'm going to fit in here, how do I?

Modal verbs - A2

I can almost touch both walls with, oh boy.

So showing my feet coming in here for a bit of perspective, this is the entire room.

I may have overestimated how big this is.

Like look at this, I barely fit through the doorway and then once I'm in, my head is basically pressed right up against, I can't maneuver in here.

I have booked the most amazing hotel, lodging place, whatever you want to call it, on the other side of Japan.

This is just the train that's taking me there and I just noticed that we are underway.

You can see the bullet train right there.

It's also a place I've never been by the way, which I'm insanely excited about because you only really get to do that once and then it's not a new place anymore.

So, but speaking of new, I've never been on this train either, so it's so hard not to,

I can't even properly hold the camera, but let's go, let's go take a quick peek at the train.

Okay, so I think I can just put in a pin code here.

All locked up and now we get to walk what might just be the smallest hallway in the world.

There are, there's a second floor down here.

I guess technically I'm on the second floor.

I want to take a quick peek at some of the rooms there.

Okay, it looks like I definitely have the better window.

It's kind of like my room, but it's got a staircase, so, and a little bit of storage.

I don't know about you, but I can 100% see somebody falling out of there.

They fall asleep up here and at some point of the night, the train hits a big bump and there you go.

Okay, so we've got a bit of a sit and hang out space here.

There's a shower room right here, vending machine right there, and you get like a card for the shower machine right here, but they're all sold out at the moment, which is completely okay.

Toilets here, which are oddly more spacious than the room.

And a bit of a sink and mirror here as well.

I'm guessing that this is where the bigger, fancier rooms are going to be.

These are all booked really far in advance, like within minutes of the tickets opening up.

Shower room right here that looks like it's open.

So you would lock that and then you put your card in there and then the shower itself looks like, again, weirdly spacious.

And then we'll take a quick peek in here because it's like the bunk bedroom.

This whole area here is single bunks, like this.

It is starting to grow on me, but I am becoming painfully aware that I'm actually going to need to find some way to, I don't even know if I'm going to fit.

I don't know if I'm going to fit from end to end.

There's only, there's only one way to find out really.

Start by putting everything, here we go, these down to this end.

I've got about 10, maybe 10, 20 centimeters of headroom.

If I turn it to the side, I will certainly fall off, but I have my little panel here too.

There's a cover for this, considering how small it is in here.

There's a bit of an air conditioner, light switches, and then an NHK radio, which apparently has been discontinued.

I figured I'll share all the costs as we go along since the borders are open now.

Yes, it's after midnight and I should get some sleep, but before I go to sleep, a few months ago I mentioned that I'd be giving away a round trip ticket to Japan.

I'm going to be announcing the winner in this video, but that actually might be the least exciting thing that I'm about to say.

In doing this giveaway, I was hoping that at least one other Japan-based creator or company would follow suit and do a giveaway of their own and we can get a whole bunch of free tickets to Japan going.

After releasing the video, almost immediately one of my biggest channel supporters called me up and was like, hey Norm, we have an idea.

This is where things get really exciting and I am ecstatic to announce that this video was proudly sponsored by Tokyo Treat and Sakurako, who have not only offered to give away one, but two additional round trip flights to Japan to Tokyo Lens viewers.

One flight giveaway ends and another one begins.

It's the beginning of the most beautiful cycle ever.

If you don't know who Tokyo Treat and Sakurako are, by the way, they're both subscription snack boxes from Japan.

Actually, I've got the Tokyo Treat box right here and I'm kind of hungry, so I'm probably going to...

They have themes each month and seeing as it's the end of the year, Tokyo Treat's theme is snacking New Year.

The book always gives you a rundown of all the snacks and I'm genuinely, genuinely stuffed.

Tokyo Treat focuses on limited edition, exclusive, or seasonal snacks.

And I just noticed that they have, what is this?

I've already got the chips open though, so I'm going to...

I'm allowed to snack past midnight in the holiday season.

We are momentarily stopped at a station, which happens fairly often.

And this pillow, by the way, is one of those pillows that's just filled with little plastic beads.
