october slow life in tokyo

[@josuke9219]

Because Japan generally has high humidity, I think your mold issues stem from that.. in which case you need a dehumidifier, not an air purifier.

[@kolbisama]

either that or those water collectors you can just put in small spaces!

[@josuke9219]

@ yup! Something like Damprid. That would totally work too. I know they sell those kinds of items everywhere in Japan.

[@stevenbellusci9084]

Ahhh yes 4 hours at the DMV reminds me of States 🤬😡🤬

[@stardollxo5982]

He said it’s for the cat litter smelling I’m p sure he’s aware of humidity and mould I’ve seen him post about it

[@GNICHO]

Which is the same thing babes

[@ashlyxenon]

KING RYAN. WE MISSED U.

[@IamArloFischer]

"Of course I'm voting". YES!

[@y3wew]

You know, I really look up to Ryan so it makes me sad to hear that someone who has achieved so much at such a young age is feeling so lost. I think in your early twenties it’s normal to feel lost and without a purpose. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to be in a foreign country by yourself without a clear goal or routine. In general, being an ‘influencer’ or creator is something that requires so much discipline and self-motivation that I think can get difficult sometimes. Especially when you compare yourself to your peers that didn’t take a big risk and are living more conventional lives than you are. I don’t know that much about Ryan besides from a few videos and some of his podcast, but I think it’s really inspirational that someone overcame odds that felt impossible and went on to be able to turn sharing his thoughts and experiences into a career!

[@kamile503]

this message is really heartwarming y3wew 😄

[@mavenism]

y3wew you're so inspirational

[@reyhamdy]

reading this comment feels like getting a big warm hug. tysm!

[@LaoSoftware]

Most foreigners never try to assimilate into the local culture. They don't try to make friends with the locals. So they feel lonely and lost. It's the same for foreigners in the USA. They feel lost and lonely in America.

[@tysonly9859]

Ryan, I have a quote for you that I live by. “You can’t control the wind but you can adjust your sails. It’s not about what happens to you, it’s how you react to make a better choice. Love you sooo much Ryan, wish you all the best in life 🫰🏽🫰🏽

[@miujiyuu]

the opening segment is really resonating with me as someone also in their early twenties and i'm literally in the american midwest... i always find myself running away to japan to be with my friends and my partner and use these trips as my only motivation but when it's over and i come back home, life feels so slow and empty. i find that journaling and having small goals to want to accomplish help me stay focused and push through the days. it's okay to feel lost but i feel like the best things happen when we least expect them to

[@blkpaint7199]

ig one way I can give some tip/advice for wanting to spend your days with purpose. Art. Either something like drawing, sketching, digital, by hand, stories, writing, animation... just putting creativity into your day and maybe even trying to make a series or story that you want to work for can bring quite some purpose and reason to your time. Maybe even publish and show it online to share it and some support for people's entertainment

[@surfingrocks45]

creating something with your hands and just having that physical accomplishment can help so much

[@tattooedyogi]

6:49 the mold is caused by moisture in the air. An air purifier won't stop any mold growth as it won't be removing any moisture from the air. you need a dehumidifier as that removes moisture from the air!

[@bea_elle]

Ryan your slow life is simply amazing. You are living in such abundance, although it may be hard to recognize. We love you king!

[@lawevadingrock]

It's so real to feel lost, and getting out of university with a job like content creation literally leaves everything up to yourself and that is SO daunting. I and many other fans really look up to you Ryan, and having come so far all by yourself should tell you that you can probably do anything you put your mind to. Hopefully you can find something productive alongside content creation (if you want to continue that) so your days feel more structured!!

[@andrew-sn2ke]

even if its not the major trips, its the little things to enjoy too. especially in japan

[@billybob7670]

all of the city footage in the vlog was so gorgeous

I LOVE THE SPIRIT!!! As long as you're an American citizen and can vote, no matter where you are in the world, always VOTE! Your vote does matter!!

[@Squirel]

Ryan, I can only speak for myself, but in answer to a comment you made, I find your videos interesting because you are a guy who is living well outside the comfort zone you grew up in. I don't think the things you do are weird, unusual or strange - most are ordinary but because you are a "stranger in a strange land" you often have to do them differently. I also enjoy your straight shooting (no pun intended) honest commentary on your life. Of course I enjoy your traveling and exploring but just spending time "with you" is fun. Good wishes and take care.

[@チンゲンサイ-y7c]

dehumidifier really works! you gotta buy it if you live in japan, no matter what kind of house you live in

[@benooox]

when watching your videos, i always remember why your channel is and will forever be my favorite channel. also your drivers license photo is eatinggg

[@tellyscope4529]

You make me miss Tokyo every time I watch your videos 😭😭 they’re always so calming

[@idwmts]

your vlogs comfort me so much

[@ViaNaturley]

I love you Ryan! I relate to you so much and I want you to know that those feelings are normal and you are not alone! Its ok to hop around, have fun, explore, mess up, go through so many oops oh well moments and then ruminate... its all okay and you will get through it all! xoxo

[@kevinhudson3725]

You have an amazing opportunity to take a little time to look at your values and decide how you want to use your skills combined with your values to chart a course for how you will contribute to the betterment of society, and that's awesome. I jumped right from university into a career, and rode it all these years. Having a moment to breath before you get swept up into the rest of your life, which will come so quickly is fantastic.

[@Mark-in-Texas]

I think every City is probably a lot better experience when the people aren't out and about. Even in the crappy little city that I live in, I love being out early in the morning on weekends, because no one is around.

[@bartoszhadryan9118]

HOW GOOOD IS THE MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO!!!

[@Abrilshaldainrory]

It happens the same to me about social life. Since I started going out and just let myself meet new people, my life is different in a good way. Maybe it's my mind that calm down, I don't know, but I really appreciate it.

[@victoriagomez9009]

Try finding a hobby that you can keep doing it every other day, for example taking a pottery class or learning a new language in a classroom setting or online... that maybe can help you feel a little bit productive and not as bored or stuck😌

[@keroro_hi]

I used to self learn mandarin for about 3 months, but I stop because i felt bored 😌 I need to get back on track

[@unapologetickitty]

Gym membership and hobbies/ classes are exactly what's needed in between travelling 😊❤

[@davidcrockett5926]

Love the new bedroom layout.

[@_.mxggxn._]

Hi Ryan! I’ve always been a bit of a silent follower of yours, but I have a interest in everyday life in other countries which is what drew me to your content. I understand your feelings of being a bit lost in life, even though I’m about 10 years older than you. I think everyone has these moments, regardless of situation, regardless of age. I know this isn’t massively helpful, but know you are not alone!

[@calicolate]

I could watch you just walk around japan and ramble about anything

[@Jazzz-pie]

Yay! Congrats on your license and thank you for voting and showing the process of voting and getting your license living abroad! Thanks for the informative videos and relatable, funny commentary. I think Ryan is very likable and personable and enjoy the videos about his day to day life too. Especially the honesty in navigating challenges and making mistakes etc. also CUTEST CAT EVER

[@OwainDavies98]

As someone else in their 20s who also feels very lost at times, there’s not really an immediate solution for getting rid of that feeling, but there are things that you can do to minimize those feelings. Travel is definitely a worthwhile outlet, an escape is very much necessary sometimes. I’m going to Japan at the end of November for the second time and having that to look forward to and plan for occupies my time. Taking up hobbies or classes (streaming, dance, craft, etc.) can provide a bit more of a routine as well. The hardest part of leaving post-secondary is breaking that cycle you’ve been in for over a decade - building a routine and finding friends (whether virtual or in person) can be very cathartic! Even if you get a very casual job, that can provide some grounding as you get into a routine again. TLDR: You are not alone in these feelings and I know you’ll be able to find ways to reduce them!

[@MarlaSims-xj9jm]

Live your best life!! I’m old and jealous 🤦🏼‍♀️ I so enjoy your side quests. You will never regret your life!

[@soleilmsantos]

Ryan I’m loving all the music choices for this vid. 🪩

[@poppicake]

I could watch you everyday ❤ would love to see a detailed everyday skin and makeup routine 🥰

[@cozyycreeper]

hai Ryan!!! loving the hair king! dotte is so freaking cute, I feel like I haven't seen him in forever! your apartment is looking so good now, and honestly you riding the bus in the wrong direction is actually so real. see you next time!

[@kagenoseirei]

Ryan!!! Thank you for another relaxing sunday video :3 I always have my morning coffee with it. As someone who is not too much older then you, finding comfort in your own presence is such a hard thing to do but worth the effort. After I moved 2k miles from home, I felt a similar feeling to you. I found myself traveling for work and friendships and any opportunity to get myself a form my excitement. However, over time I decided to spend more time at home. Currating my space to be somewhere I actually enjoyed spending time in. Decorating, and ~cozy~-fying my home encouraged me to not want to be anywhere else. I got into house plants, I started gaming a little and got back into anime. I was able to comfortably revisit things I enjoyed when I was younger (and stuck at home hehe). You got this no matter what direction you decide to go in. You will find it.

8:18 Clairo my queen OMG 😍

[@chrxstxna13]

doing something knew everyday, even if it's something small like trying a new food from 7/11, helps keep life exciting. idk where i heard that from but i agree with it. It can feel a bit boring if every day is repetitive. But routines are also nice, so its about finding a balance.

[@lenahwright7367]

Damn it’s been a hot minute since I’ve watched him. Lost interest when his complaints/problems are unrealistic but I’m so fucking happy that he’s trying his best to live how he wants and figure himself out.

I live vicariously through your videos whether they’re super frequent or stagnant. I even go back and watch them because they’re so comfy. My dream is to visit Japan and I hope to one day make that happen. So for now while I can’t I shall live vicariously through your videos ❤️❤️

[@kfauver]

Anytime you leave the country, you need to have a dehumidifier going. The kind the a hose, so you can have the hose down the drain in your kitchen floor (if you have one) and in the bathroom. OR have a friend who can come over and dump the water every night. Now that winter is coming, it is less humid, but you still need to have a dehumidifier running if you go out of town. This is my second time living in Japan and the first time I lived in Okinawa and didn't know how terrible the humidity was and some of my designer purses got ruined with mold. NOW, I live in Tokyo and we have had no issues. We even traveled the entire summer and had ZERO mold. We ran a dehumidifier in the upstairs of my house and the downstairs. Some of the wall AC units have a dry setting, which work ok, but not as good as a dehumidifier.

you need a dehumidifier for mold. because humidity/dampness is what makes mold appear and grow.

H e y Ryan, love your new haircut! At least now you have your new drivers license and can buy a new car. You live your life on the spur of the moment which makes it so spontaneous and interesting. I just love to see how you go about making every moment count. I'm sure many of your viewers live their lives vicariously through yours. That's when you know that you're making a difference by uploading content on YT!😅❤😊
