| Japan Study Abroad Vlog #1 | First Days in Japan

I studied abroad at Japan's Tsukuba University for the spring semester of 2018. In this video I show clips of my incoming flight, hotel, dorm, food, and friends.

[@cajunchewie9026]

This is a random comment but the lights flicker because those lights operate under AC or alternating current and the frequency of the lights isn’t aligned with the fps of the camera

[@batrisyianr8988]

Currently I'm really want to continue my study in japan,and watching your video made my motivation got higher ✌️

It was just a regular ticket! Because it was an overnight flight they served dinner, tea, midnight snack, and breakfast!

[@faitht.685]

@@baileyvanmatre4274 oh wow! I was just shocked because I’ve never flown delta internationally so I didn’t know they offered such a great spread!

[@wishlisttodo5572]

I also wanted to Study in Japan .. 🥲but...

[@baileyvanmatre4274]

Unfortunately japan is not handling the pandemic well. :( For a country that relies on tourism revenue, they really need to open up soon.

[@stimpyfeelinit]

if you try shooting in different fps will prob fix the flashing lights thing

[@baileyvanmatre4274]

You're right! Too bad I only had my iphone to shoot with

[@Flamboyantxoxo]

What program did you go with? Please answer

[@baileyvanmatre4274]

Sorry just now seeing this! I went as an exchange student to Tsukuba University! Feel free to email me if you have more questions or want to talk about it ~

[@mika4444]

Hi bailey, I want to ask that did you learned japanese before coming to Japan for college or after ? thank you

[@baileyvanmatre4274]

@@mika4444 I took a year of Japanese at Purdue university before I went to japan. Honestly though, I learned more Japanese during 4 months in japan than I did in a whole year in America. Immersion is the greatest language learning tool!

@@baileyvanmatre4274 oh okay thanks for replying

[@Kati812]

A late reply from me lol. Hi, How are you? I have also applied to study abroad there. Do you mind me asking, you a few questions about your experience? Did you pay for airfare yourself? Why did you have to live at the hotel first before you move into the dorm? And finally, luggage-wise. How much to bring to live in the country for a semester? My apologies if I bombarded you with questions. Just very curious and I love your video. Thank you!

[@baileyvanmatre4274]

No problem at all! Yes I payed for my own airfare, but I wonder if there are ways to get some kind of help with that. You could ask your advisor about that. I bought a one way ticket there since I didn't know when I planned on leaving, and then bought a ticket home about a month before I left japan. I don't really recommend this as it was expensive lol. I stayed in a hotel the first night because of the way my flight lined up with the buses to Tsukuba. There are maybe 2 bus times you can choose from where your japanese tutor will meet you and help you get set up. I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough time to get off the plane and make one of those busses, so I chose to stay in a hotel and take the bus the next morning. Luggage wise, I brought a very large checked bag, a carry on suitcase, and a backpack. I'd love to talk to you more about it, feel free to find my instagram @spookybebe and send me a message!
