Youtube hearted comments of Zarintyr (@muajin).

  1. Here's a thought. Get out for the day or have a night with a no phone/pc on policy. Don't get me wrong, i'm a former gaming addict and love playing ff14 a few hours here and there, but both of you need to unplug and spend time together. Otherwise what's the point of having a wife?

  2. Women: Where did all the good men go? Why can't I find a good man? finds a good man eventually...then leaves him because he was too boring/not as exciting as the Chad/Tyrone...doesn't give her the butterflies and drama like the Chad/Tyrone, then leaves that good man or cheats on him Same woman some time later: He was abusive and toxic. then proceeds to make a tiktok video about how toxic or abusive he was Makes another tiktok a year or so later: Where are all the good men? Why can't I seem to find a good man?

  3. Sadly..it's common for many married couples to sleep in different rooms/beds. I asked my friend who loves his wife..but sleep in different rooms. Said didn't want to disturb each other. They were newly married too at the time. My foreign married friends sleep in same bed. I think it's only between married Japanese couples mostly.

  4. This is a legit game changer. IF this catches on like wildfire in China, it could be a win win scenario for guys.

  5. As now, Tianjin has 133 current known cases, according to wechat's health system. i live in Mentougou, which is in the west area of Beijing we haven't experienced any shortages. There was a few times with long lines and busy shopping days at wumart near me, but its pretty normal on this side of Beijing.

  6. oh snap!! I never knew this place existed and i went all over the place in Tokyo. Wow! Business hotels for 2300? You can easily stay in a net room that comes with a key for pretty much the same price and those come with free drink bars.

  7. As much as I love Japanese. They are famous for the honne and tatemae real and the facade Most are warm to foreigners. Some that aren't take time to get to that point. It's hard to know what a Japanese person is really thinking, takes time to know them. :D Japanese can be quite friendly. example in the non busier areas, there are groups that go out in the evening and walk the streets to patrol You have to get away from the major city areas to see the everyday Japanese life. It's there all around you.

  8. I have a star wars scout trooper costume that I wore in Japan while riding the train, going shopping near me and at work on certain days. In tokyo disney you can ONLY wear a cosplay costume on halloween night only. Did that once. Fun times. I'll have to do that again when i return to Japan. :D

  9. That long in Japan you even master Keigo (respectful Japanese language) I don’t know many that have.

  10. I’ll be honest. I’d give this poster a try, date wise. You go into a date with a grain of salt.

  11. I was planning to go down south for a nice warm holiday, but the southern provinces have at least 100 cases according to the case map on wechat's health system while Hainan has 0. Makes no sense.

  12. So...women will make tiktok vids asking Where are all the good men? but are also the same women saying it's ok to leave that good man WTF is wrong with these women??

  13. I'll be honest. Japanese people are overall nicer than Chinese. Maybe it's just me, most likely is. I also notice in my exp Japanese roommates like to keep where they live clean. My Chinese roommates don't seem to mind a semi dirty kitchen/bathroom. One roomie even complained to the weekly cleaning lady that she didn't do a good job when she came. o.O I bought a squigie for the bathroom floor to clean the water on the floor. Aside from me and my gf that uses it sometimes, the other 3 roomies never use it. They just let the floor be wet after using the shower. :(

  14. Japan vids are popular now. Even more so due to the borders being closed and people wanting to see more about Japan I guess. I keep telling my buddy in Japan to make a nice scenic video or Japanese experience vid. He's got a family so he doesn't want to travel much to make videos..he's worried about getting covid

  15. I tried to get into the manga scene a few times. Had a few meetings with Kodansha's editor. Told me to find an illustrator to work with. 2 times i found female mangakas...and just got ignored after awhile. T.T I'm going to try and get my Momotaro remake manga published once i get back to Japan. :D

  16. This is pretty dang cool! First time seeing something anything like this.

  17. I'll be honest. China is a very cool place with many beautiful places to see. Honestly, I'm getting tired of Chinese language. i know i know I miss the Japanese language. lol

  18. So..how many guys hit on you/tried flirting with you? :D

  19. Bentos are awesome. Even kids bring bentos to school and companies order bento boxed lunches for it's employees. Shinkansen bentos are top quality stuff!!

  20. Hey there Pearl. Did you see that Japan might let independent tourists enter Japan from October? I'm talking no need to make tour arrangements via Japanese travel agency/free visa tourist travel. I'll still work in Beijing a few months and most likely return the first week of Chinese new year. :D

  21. What parts of Beijing have you been to? Since I started looking for gold in Beijing, i've gone to many places. One such place recently was Longmenjian scenic spot. Very nice place. Only down side is 40rmb each. Amazingly, if you search longmenjian in youtube, only 2 vids come up..both mine. LOL There are other vids up..but the title is in Chinese It's not a common sightseeing spot for people I imagine.

  22. The reactions in the countryside inaka areas are much better than the ones in the city. I once went to a new music idol group convention in akihabara. ONLY foreigner there, some of the members of these groups were my students age. It's sick to see grown adults fawning over elementary and junior high school girls. A few of the elementary age members were shaking my hand and talking to me. I made some of the fans jealous. LOL

  23. I should take vids like this whenever I visit cave places in China. There are many around Beijing. A few are HUGE with long iron staircases leading everywhere.

  24. Did he say *gossan*? I live in Beijing. We see this type of rock everywhere in the mountains around Beijing. :D

  25. I went to one my first hostess clubs with two guys that were learning english from me the hostess would stroke and touch my arm hair i'm a slightly hairy guy saying fuwa fuwa. hehe strange at first but got to like it. :D~ i've had people say my nose is big...this seems the norm.

  26. It's interesting that Tokyo accent for girls is different than accent for girls in other parts of Japan. But you have young and older girl accents. I guess that's similar to girls in any country. If you're from cali or new york as a girl, your accent is going to be different. Went to a big Halloween event last night in Shijingshan, Beijing. SOOOO many people, a lot of people dressed up to different degrees. mostly women, fewer guys

  27. Have you seen that Tokyo now has the world's first drive-in haunted house?? craaaazy!

  28. Women will choose the Chad or Tyrone with red flags and unstable over the nice guys that have their life together. Lol

  29. I think it determines where you go. In central Beijing, the shock factor isn't that big compared to smaller cities/villages.

  30. Well you knove i've been subbed to ya for a goooood while now. LOL

  31. I don't suppose you k now anyone that's ever tried panning in China?

  32. Working as an ALT is also being in an all Japanese office. Can be fun and stressful at times. My former school I ate lunch with the principle and vp at the same table, along with other teachers. Sometimes they were eager to know about different aspects of my American life...etc. fun times. :D

  33. Oh dam...now that looks quite interesting. I used to live in Akita for 8 months. I've only been to half of Tohoku, a long time ago when I first went to Japan as a study abroad college student.

  34. Women on tiktok askin "Where are all the good men? Why can't I find a good man?" they are either in their dms/friend zone where they left them OR many that do find a good/perfect man BUT end up leaving that good/perfect man cause they're boring/not as exciting as the Chad/Tyrone. They then make a tiktok about how toxic/abusive that good/perfect man to justify them being boring/not exciting. It's a fkd up cycle these women go through.

  35. I almost thought that it was Marc, was going to say I didn't know Marc played piano :P

  36. I have a question for ya Mr. Williams. If you found sand with lots of pyrite flakes. visible from just looking above the water Is that sand worth panning?

  37. When I first went to Akita during college. It was my first time outside of the states I went to this small restaurant/public bath area. I didn't know that you had to be naked to go in. I went in with swim shorts, this tiny old guy was trying to take my swim shorts off. Finally i gave in and just sat in the corner of the spa huddled up. Waited for him to leave..then relaxed a bit and went back to the dorms. lol

  38. Grats on the boyfriend :D

  39. My eye color changes/mixed color sometimes. I was born with blue eyes, but they change from light brown,greyish blue, greenish blue..etc My students used to call me a monster :P I'd have several students tell me what my eye color is and got different responses. lol They never agreed on the same color of my eyes. :D

  40. That area is on my list for gold searching when i get back :D

  41. I was an art major graduate. 4 credits of a foreign language away from BA..so I graduated with a BS instead. I taught 7yrs in Korea, 7 in Japan and going to finish up my 3rd and last year in China. I guess i'm heading back to Japan again as an English teacher a bit, hopefully my manga i'm working on gets made. :D

  42. They are extremely modest. They won't tell you what they actually think but will be polite and tell you that you speak Japanese well. :) It's that honne–tatemae thing in Japan. It's hard to tell if what someone says is genuine and what is a facade. Still nice to hear positive comments on your Japanese ability^^ I'm sure the older generation would be more sincere and believable if they told you how good your Japanese is.

  43. Enoshima is a very nice little island. Too bad the number of cats that used to live there have been reduced. I wonder how many neko-jimas exist now in Japan.

  44. I hear many of them are single btw. :P

  45. In my experience and from what others told me, I think some really do mean it while others are being nice and don't want to offend you. I think your friend Tommy is fairly spot on with the many empty compliments thing. It takes time to really get to know a Japanese person. It again ties into that real/facade thinking that Japanese say. :D

  46. So...maybe the ppl that don't identify as male or female will start a tinkle tinkle movement?

  47. Japanese people will say your Japanese is great even if you only speak a few words. They are pretty humble and modest. If your Japanese sucks, they'll still give you a good compliment. :D

  48. It's hard to dig up mine or abandoned mine info on China in Chinese I found a map with a few old mines about 40mins east of where i went to recently. There are many big streams but pretty much NO buses go to those areas. I'm going to an area today that's near a mountain village. hopefully will be able to get permission to enter

  49. No placers anywhere near my area of Beijing or anyone that has talked about it *for some reason gold panning is not popular in China*. So i'm stuck playing gold detective all over the place. lol

  50. Very interesting vid!! It was a pleasure meeting you for the first time today and was quite surprised chancing upon you in Ueno! Thanks again~ :D

  51. I'm also not very good at classroom management. I don't like to be strict but sometimes you have to be a little strict.

  52. Ohhh i love the very strange things in Japan. From boob shaped chocolate/pudding to plastic toilets that you eat candy out of. Jelly condoms...etc There are sooooo many crazy and unique things in Japan. :D

  53. I love public bathing!! I got my first try when i went to Akita as an exchange student. I wore swim shorts and this short old man kept pulling them off me. I felt pretty cringy until he left, then got comfortable. From that day on, I became more relaxed doing the public bath thing. I went to Korea right after college and immediately went to public spas, then to Japan where I had no problems. I sometimes go to public bath houses in China too. I'm one of the few foreigners i know that are 100% comfortable with them It's awesome!!

  54. In recent years. Many girls have opted to make the chocolate to give. Handmade choco. Giri choco is also big in Japan. I think it's mostly for giving to bosses/coworkers/friends. I'm sure you already know about white day, in which guys return the chocolate favor to the girls that gave them chocolate/giri choco on Valentines day. It's also common to see couple sets in restaurants. Some places even offer discounts to people that are single and eat alone. It's interesting. There are also protests by single people waving black banners etc. It's pretty strange.
