This accommodation of Airbnb is for how many days?

[@fulltimeabroad]

It was for 1 month

[@longtermerr]

I live in Yao. Welcome to the neighborhood.

[@fulltimeabroad]

Thank you. We loved it there. Quiet, but with all the services and easy access. We will definitely be back! Thanks for watching.

The JPY went from 100 to the USD last year and now its 150. For people with USDs, its gotten 33% less expensive

[@fulltimeabroad]

@@peterbedford2610 it's a great time to go now. Thanks for watching

[@melodyn6419]

Why not go to Tokyo？

[@fulltimeabroad]

We decided on Osaka and the Kansai region. Many things and cities to see and explore.

What about 7/11? 😅 We are 78 and 69 so insurance is a no go. We think Japan is #1 and can’t wait to return.

[@fulltimeabroad]

To be honest, we didn't go in that much. We usually just went to grocery stores and occasionally family Mart. We did browse a few times, but we found the prices to be much better in the supermarkets. Thank you for watching.

[@BarryWilder-b9v]

7/11 has egg sandwiches to die for and their pancakes ( butter and syrup already in between) are addictive:) just promise to try next time. 😊

[@fulltimeabroad]

@@BarryWilder-b9v haha will do! Good to know and something to add to our list. It's a bit overwhelming sometimes, so many new items and products, where do you start

Thanks for sharing your experiences! Please tell us the name of the gym and how you were able to sign up for a membership without a local phone number (unless you had somehow gotten one)? Most places we looked at required us to have a local phone number which added to the cost significantly.

[@fulltimeabroad]

@@thatbperson the gym we went to was COSPA near the mall in Yao. Funny you mention the phone number because it was an issue, however they spoke to the manager and agreed to allow us to use a foreign phone number. We tried other gyms and they wanted Japanese bank accounts. It was easily the most difficult place to sign up for a gym. The positive is that all gyms we saw were 24 hours. Thanks for watching

How is your travel insurance? Only $21 a month for the both of you? What company do you use? Wonderful video by the way.❤️

[@fulltimeabroad]

Thank you for watching! AXA from Thailand is the travel insurance.

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Incredible tip for the tax free shopping and getting tax back.👍💪💰 Under 1600 for a month? 😮Wow 👍

[@fulltimeabroad]

Thanks for watching. It's nice that you get the tax free discount immediately rather than having to do it at the airport.

[@bw5911]

Are you back in Albania!?!

[@fulltimeabroad]

No, but good guess. Next week you'll find out. Check out our Instagram for clues!

[@johnmarlon6916]

Great for those who don't like fruit.

[@fulltimeabroad]

Lol. Yeah, seriously. We spoiled ourselves with an apple every few days. Thanks for watching

[@tonyahrary1693]

I guess you guys new in Japan. I have been here for more than 20 years. I could get a place for much cheaper with my Australian real estate agent. I guess what you are paying is the tourist trap prices. For a short time, you can just stay in those internet cafes overnight would be much cheaper. I also know many cheap places for shopping. New people usually learn the hard ways.

[@fulltimeabroad]

We were happy with the airbnb price. It was for 1 month. We'd be happy to know of more places to search for accommodation if you have any tips. Thanks for watching
