Will You Retire in Japan?
Thanks to a recent comment on a previous video about the JLPT reading section, I remembered some additional advice. This mindset really helped me to get through this section without stressing on the details too much.

Brewing Japan's Cheapest(?) Supermarket Coffee
In Japanese, "more/less than" can be tricky, well it sure was for me! Until I remembered δ»₯ (i) as a symbol for "includes." Does it include or exclude the number mentioned? How about "just over/under" and other ways to express number ranges? Learn all about these while walking around the streets of Nagoya's Fushimi area.

πŸ€” How to Use "More & Less Than" in Japanese | Nagoya Walk
Morning Nature in the Rain β˜”πŸŒ·πŸŒΉπŸͺ· #nature #japan #nagoya
COVID changed something at work, and I don't know if it's coming back. On a recent Shinkansen ride from Nagoya to Odawara, I found myself reflecting on how much work life has changed over the last few years. Not just remote work or video calls, but the small things that used to happen naturally when people shared the same space. In this episode of Ohazassu, I share some thoughts from the train, talk about what feels different today, and wonder whether these changes are here to stay. Grab a coffee and come along for the ride.

Chat GPT as my Japanese language teacher... #chatgpt #chatgpthumor
Join me for a quick walk around Nagoya City in the evening and let's talk about why I do YouTube and how I've overcome the analytics and metrics trap.
YouTube and the Metrics Trap
Some days, YouTube analytics can feel… a bit toxic. In this video, I share why metrics like views, watch time, and subscriber counts started affecting my motivation more than I expected, and how it nearly took the fun out of creating. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by low views, stuck in the numbers, or questioning why you even started… you’re not alone.
