I'm gonna start with Twitter questions because I love my followers on Twitter...

What's your favorite thing about Japan so far?
My favorite thing were the conbinis aka the 24-hour shops
I wish we had them in Czech Republic. We don't really have many...
What's it like to speak so many languages?
Well, you know how they say that every time you learn a new language, you gain a new personality?
Well, that's why I have severe schizophrenia right now
What is going to happen to the channel when you finish your travel in all the countries you plan to visit?
Well, basically the channel is going to stay the same. I'm probably gonna do more videos just about me with the camera in my room
Probably also some story times about the adventures that wasn't able to show you guys in the vlog...
Besides when this exchange is over, I'm still not gonna stop traveling, everytime I'll go to a different country I'll bring my camera with me.
So... don't worry guys. There will still be content even after China!
Favorite lo-fi song?
Will you go to other Latin American countries, which ones would you like to go to?
Well obviously I would like to come back to Brazil, my second home
And then of course Peru because I've never been there.
Would you ever dye your hair a different color?
No, because my hair is too precious and I don't want to get it destroyed by some chemicals
But yeah, I know a lot of you guys want me to paint it... *to dye it green
But yeah, not gonna happen, sorry...
What is the hardest cultural adaptation you had while living with your host family
Well, I didn't really have any problems with the cultural adaptation
I feel like I'm not the type of person that has to stick to their culture or anything
But for sure, I have a lot less privacy than when I'm at home
Which means that I can't make as many videos as I would want to make
But yeah, that's probably the only thing..
Why do you have a jacket on, it's hot as af
You're right..
Okay something from the comments now...
"Sawcon"
"Bro you're the Sawcon guy that's iconic"
"Oh, hey, it's the sawcon dude"
"Sawcon my di-"
Yeah, alright guys, it was a good meme. But you know, it's pretty... pretty dead by now
So, please stop commenting it on my videos... lol
If you don't know what I'm talking about basically, I took this screenshot of a comment section and posted it on my Twitter
And then basically it got spread on Reddit, on tumblr, on iFunny, on 9gag, on Facebook
I've seen it in so many Facebook groups like... it was even in a few YouTube videos from big youtubers...
including the PewDiePie's LWIAY with Marcia so...
*I made it to a PewDiePie video holyfucc*
Yeah, I'm really happy you guys enjoyed this meme, but you know, it should be dead by now. So please...
you know... xd
"What's your craziest experience ever?"
So today I was thirsty but instead of drinking from my own cup, I took my host brothers much cooler cup
I enjoyed my drinking and then washed it so he doesn't notice...
...you could say my life is pretty crazy
"Is it easy or hard to learn Japanese?"
It's hard like my d-
"What are some attractions you recommend seeing in Japan?"
Well definitely Soap Land which is a... well...
if you don't know what Soap Land is you probably
... propably shouldn't know
"Is there a specific reason why are you so passionate about learning languages? What sparked this passion?"
Well, there isn't really a reason I just...
When I was younger the only thing I was good at was learning languages and I mean even now at school
I can't do math, I can't do biology, chemistry, anything of that, just.. just languages.
So I hope that answer your question. I'm just good at it, So that's why I do it
I mean to be honest, I'm really not good at anything else I can't sing, I can't draw, I can't do any sports. The only thing I can do is languages so...
umm... lol... yeah
"Curly hair routine?" okay, alright, a lot of girls have been asking me this I don't know why...
I don't have a "curly hair routine"
This is just my natural hair. If you really want a routine, I would just say shower everyday and...
You know... like I don't use anything. This is just my hair.
"Will there still be Czech streams?"
Okay, for those of you who don't know when I used to make videos in Czech, I used to make a lot of YouTube streams, you know..
But right now I can't really stream because I live with a host family, I don't really have that much time..
But once I come back home from this exchange besides vlogs, I'm gonna start streaming on Twitch
So if you want to follow me there you can, there are not gonna be streams yet..
but you know in a few months..
"Can you please say something in Czech?"
"Nah I don't wanna"
"What's your favorite travel destination so far?"

"Did you eat pizza with a bowl of rice?" No, of course no, nobody does that
"How old are you? You can speak Japanese? If yes, where are you learn Japanese?"
In Japan, I learned Japanese in Japan
Has anyone told you that you look like is Izuku Midoriya from Boku no Hero?
no actually... actually no one ever told me.. that's kinda crazy
When did Midoriya get a YouTube channel?
Not gonna lie, you're what I imagine Midoriya from My Hero Academia would look like in real life
1500 likes... it probably has more by now...
for those of you who don't know what this is all about..
Basically, a lot of people are commenting that I look like this character, called is Izuku Midoriya or Deku in the anime Boku no Hero Academia
And yeah, this has basically become a meme on my channel. Everyone is commenting it
Everyday I get at least 10 messages about it. So yeah, thanks guys. I mean...
What am I supposed to respond to that? Thanks for... I don't know what I'm supposed to respond to that
"What languages did you speak when you are younger?"
When I was younger... well, basically Czech, Portuguese and English
My Portuguese was.. there was a point in my life where probably my Portuguese was my best language
"What's your nationality?" alright interesting spelling, but another really frequent question
I'm not Indonesian, I'm not Filipino. I am half Czech half Peruvian, that's all you got to know
"What city will you be staying in China?"
In Beijing, so if there are any viewers from Beijing that are watching this video. Please hit me up on Twitter, on Instagram
I really want to hang out because I don't have many friends here.
"Between Japanese and Chinese what was harder to learn?"
Okay, so everyone has a different opinion about this
This is my subjective opinion...
For me it seems that Japanese is way harder than Chinese because the pronunciation in Japanese. It's not it's not that much about the pronunciation
It's about the way of reading because learning how to read all the pronunciations of one kanji for example, combined with all the hiragana
It's really hard to memorize all of that
And also the intonation in Japanese is very very important
If you really want to sound like a fluent native speaker of Japanese
A good example from Mr. Dogen, (his channel is amazing..)
He said for example the words "Gakusei" you cannot pronounce it like "GAkusei", it's it's not supposed to go down
It's supposed to stay in one line. So "gaKUSEI"
on the contrary, "Aisatsu" you cannot say I say "AiSATSU"
You have to say "AIsatsu" and that's like that's the part of Japanese. That's really really hard
Sorry for my long answer. But yeah, I think that Japanese is harder to learn. I'm not saying that Chinese isn't difficult
there's definitely a lot of difficult parts of Chinese, but it's not as hard as japanese intonation, I think
