I want to live in California in the USA. I went to a home-stay experience
in California before. I had so much fun, I would like to go again.
What was the most fun about it? - The highschool there was so fun
Good times. - If you could live abroad, you would not work?
Just study thre? - Yes just study. My friends there were great.
They are thinking differently. Instead of being so difficult like Japanese
they are uncomplicated. I admire that. I went for 10 days there last time
It was a short trip. Next time I wanna go for one year. - I like Milan
in Italy. - Why there? - It's the city of fashion
I love fashion and want to be surrounded by it
and I think the pizza there is gotta be tasty. - Living abroad...
what would a perfect day for you? - Have a yoghurt in the morning
go to school, eat lunch on the lawn outside the school
and then go to karaoke or restaurant
do some shopping, and then have a home party, watching movies
at night then sleep. - You admire home parties too?
I do. When I went the other time it was my first home party.
I had SO much fun.
I want to go to Europe. Paris and such. I gotta learn English
but I want to live in a fancy city. - In Paris the language isn't English
but French. - Oh is that so. I will try to learn that then.
If I was to live there, I would study it. - Do you know any French?
Is that the country of "Bonjour?" - Yes it is. - Bonjour!
I simply admire the beauty of that city.
What are you expecting of Paris? - Beautiful cafes
and that all the people around me would be well dressed
I think I got the image of Paris from watching TV
I want to take pictures there, eat food there and everyday
would be so wonderful. I watched Disney's movie
Aristocats and the character Marie in it...
and I want to visit the real locations of that movie.
So Paris because of Disney? - Yes. I love it. - I like Belgium
I heard they have many traditions there. I like that.
I don't mind the big cities but I want to go somewhere where you can see the sun
with a wide sky. That's my image at least.
I think the crowded city here doesn't work with the way I am
I want to live somewhere more quiet I think
I want to see how the craftsmen of Belgium work and lay hand on too
I wish I could do something like that.
I would live in Europe
Where? - Italy, Rome. - Why Korea?
I like Italians! - I like Amerika or Korea
I know a Youtuber who introduces makeup and such and
they are cheaper abroad so I want to live where makeup is cheap. - Doing what?
I want to open my own restaurant. - What kind? - An Italian restaurant
or a Japanese restaurant.
I would like to live in the Maldives. - Being honest, generally
everyone says America cause they know the most about it. So why
do you want to go the Maldives? - I saw it online and it looks really pretty.
I want to go there. - What do you know about the Maldives
then? - I have absolutely no intel on it. - So if you were to
live in the Maldives, what do you want to do? - Live a quiet life.
So you don't want to work. - I don't want to.
In the morning I would have hot tea... or ice tea
Drink my hot tea and read a book. And then go for a walk
come home and watch a movie.
That's all. - Watch the movie in the cinema? - At home. - Girl
you are in the Maldives and you spend most of the day at home?!
I love staying inside. - I want to live in California.
Why so? - The ocean. - So you become a California girl
right? If that works out for you what do you want to do
there? - Wear a bikini and swim in the ocean in the morning.
We are both from Okinawa you see. We love the sea.
I heard the Okinawans say that the sea is not for bathing
but for watching. Is that true. - True we don't swim much
I didn't swim in the sea even once this year. Once last year. In highschool,
after school we would take strolls near the sea
So not for swimming but... - For watching. - While watching the sea
what is best? - Listening to the sound of the waves, chatting
being with friends. - I think abroad will be more fun than Okinawa
I think. - What? Why?? - We have houses with the sea
right near to them. But abroad I think...
they make it look more beautiful.
I want to live in New York and such. I think it's fancy.
I want to live in the UK. - Where in the UK? - London.
I want to spend the whole day outside in fancy cafes
Learning English there? - Yesh. - What is the thing
that you want to see or eat the most? - I want to...
I want to watch the stature of liberty? - Eat Fish and Chips - There is vinegar
on the chips, did you know? - No - Will you have it with vinegar, salt
or both? - Just salt please. -
Why the UK? - The husband of one of my teachers is
from the UK. It got me curious. - I see
Thank you for answering my questions.
So we had a variety of countries there, was your country in the list of countries they
want to visit. Also I promised you guys that I am gonna talk about one way
to come and live here in Japan. There is one very popular way that not as many people
know about, even though it's a real great opportunity. That's the working holiday visa
You might have heard about it, some don't know about it. Certain countries have partnered
together with Japan which means for around a year, young people
people from that country can come and stay in the other country. So that visa is not just
a working visa, it's a visa with which you can travel, study or work
You can only get that for one year but it gives young people a great opportunity to visit a different
country. There is an age limit to it though, depending from where you are from. It think it's up to
about you're around 30 or something. It's great for people who want to visit Japan
give it a go, have a look and find out how it is to be in this country
without just studying or just working. You can do all kinds of things during that time
certain countries are in it, Germany, UK, Ireland,
France, I think Austria is in it too and
I am afraid that America is not in it, but Canada is in it and Australia as well
There is a couple of other countries as well that are part in the working holiday
association, be sure to check out their page. Generally how it works you make
an application at your closest Japanese embassy and they can check it. Some of my friends
have used "work and travel" to different countries. My Japanese friends have used it to come
to your country maybe, I have used it to. You don't have to decide
to stay a whole year, you can take it for a short time if you wanna come here, have that freedom
do a little bit of work here and there and you are not tied down in many ways.
That is a popular option for many people, might not be for you if you're from the USA
Other countries can use that. That's a big hint for quite a lot of people
and there is generally a network of "working holiday makers" so you can ask your
senpai, the ones who have done it before, for help, advice and maybe how to
find a job to keep you afloat while you're experiencing Japan to the fullest.
So that was a little hint, hope this helped you guys. Don't forget to subscribe
