Today I'm gonna be traveling to Japan for the very first time.

I'm 18 and besides a friend from school that I'm not too close with, I'm gonna be completely on my own.

I've literally never planned a trip before, flown so far away, and honestly neither of us really knows what we're doing.

I'll be there for like three weeks in a country we've never been to, so let's just see how this goes.

All right, so I just got out of the shower and I'm about to head to the airport.

I'm like super stressed I'm literally in a rush.

So I'm gonna see you guys at the airport

So since there aren't any direct flights from home our first stop is in San Francisco

My first flight got delayed for a bit, but we're finally hopping on it now.

I'm actually hella excited to just get this trip started.

Bro, even though that flight was only like two hours, it was actually hella uncomfortable.

You gotta walk nine minutes still.

What are we doing?

G10.

I'm really hoping the 10 hour flight to Tokyo will be more comfortable.

I heard Asian Airlines have some of the best economy seats, so we'll have to see when I board the plane in a few hours.

But for now, I'mma just get some stuff done on my MacBook while we wait.

I'm getting on the flight.

I'm coming.

I'm coming, Japan.

I'm coming.

I'm coming inside.

Bro, holy shit.

This Japan airline is crazy.

There's...

They gave me pillows.

Like a bunch of stuff.

And then there's a leg room.

And there's a nice looking TV screen.

I'm gonna enjoy this, but I'm probably gonna go to sleep first.

Hopefully I can sleep through most of my life.

We took off pretty quickly and they brought out food soon after at like 2am.

I'm so sleepy but starving so I ate this tuna sandwich and banana they gave me before trying to fall asleep.

A few

hours later, I woke up and literally felt like puking, so I had to hop in the bathroom.

My back was also hurting from the way I was sleeping, but at least the nauseous feeling went away pretty quick.

I tried falling back asleep after, but I couldn't, so for the next few hours, I was just listening to some music until they turned the lights back on, like two hours before landing.

I'm exhausted and ready to hop off this plane right now, but good thing we're almost in Tokyo.

It's so early in the day right now

and I didn't get much sleep

So I already know today's gonna be a long ass day

Seeing Tokyo only about an hour away is low-key starting to wake me up though

All right, we finally made it here in Japan.

I'm not running on much sleep right now, and I still gotta figure out how to get to the Airbnb before I start exploring Tokyo and everything.

As soon as I landed though, my phone automatically connected to 5G internet through Seili, who's sponsoring this part of the video.

A few days before this trip, I bought eSIM for my time in Japan through the Seili app because I knew I needed internet for Google Maps,

booking rides, and just texting people without getting hit with expensive fees.

The setup was super easy.

I just downloaded the app, chose my plan, and it installed the eSIM right into my phone.

There's no physical SIM cards I got to deal with, and now I don't have to try to go and purchase one from the airport.

Saley works in over 200 places around the world with a bunch of different plans to choose from, so it's super convenient when you're traveling to different places.

I actually already heard about Saley and was planning to use it for this trip anyways so the sponsor worked out perfectly.

If you're making a trip happen soon you can get an exclusive 15% off at checkout

if you head to salie.com slash eyes on icy in the description

or you can just scan the QR code on screen to download the app

and use code eyes on icy at checkout to get the 15% off.

I just got to the Airbnb and bro I'm so tired and I have a headache from lack of sleep probably.

Bro you can probably tell by just looking at me but I was completely fried after all that traveling.

We got a little lost at the airport and I basically had to figure everything out.

I got a pretty bad headache and I really don't want to go anywhere today

but I need water and something to eat so I'm gonna head out to find a convenience store.

Oh fuck! oh fuck dude this smells so bad dude there's no way does this even taste good

i don't really like it tastes like sweet dude i've seen

this all over the talk after eating i slowly started unpacking

and try to make myself actually look alive again I finally got to brush my teeth

and everything to freshen up a little bit, which honestly helped with my headache.

And since it was still only like 8 in the morning, I didn't want to be sitting inside my first day.

So we decided to head towards the more popular places in Tokyo, which is like 20 to 40 minutes away from the Airbnb.

I low-key got lost trying to figure out the trains at first.

But after a while, we finally made it to a place called Ginza because my friend wanted to do some shopping there.

I was still feeling pretty rough so we didn't stay anywhere for too long.

I was just excited to finally be here

and wanted to see as much as possible before I completely crashed or something for the day.

so the first day I was moving through different places

and no joke half the time I was trying to figure

out where we were going I had to figure everything out myself

so I didn't really get to record much I'm heading back to the crib now

but I can't wait to get comfortable and familiar with this place because right now I'm low-key scared.

People keep on talking to me in Japanese because I'm Asian

and I just look stupid trying to speak in English since I'm too scared to butcher a word

or something in their language.

Alright so I'm hella tired.

I'm just gonna take a shower now because I haven't taken one in like two days.

Hopefully tomorrow feels less confusing.

I think I got the trains down but I'm still not sure.

The next morning I actually felt so much better after finally getting some sleep.

Yesterday I was basically just rushing through places with a headache

so today I want to actually slow down and just enjoy everything.

While my homeboy is getting ready I walked out to grab some food real quick.

After that I'm trying to hit up an area that I think I'm gonna mess with heavy.

So we came here to look at some anime figures for our rooms back home.

Also, I'm trying to look for some stuff for my family.

Bro, we have found the hentai section, bro.

No, I cannot post this.

This is being blurred.

What is down here?

Up, up, up.

Up, up.

100

It's like eating grass.

101

You want to put with it?

102

Nah, it tastes like grass.

103

What does it taste like?

104

Some type of tea.

105

Plum!

106

I ended up copying a few things, but I'mma save the unboxing for when I'm back home.

107

Later, I walked out for some sushi nearby by myself.

108

Did I come to me?

109

Water.

110

Okay, can I ice cube?

111

Huh?

112

Can I ice cube?

113

I got that raw shrimp and raw shrimp.

114

That shit was slimy as hell.

115

Hopefully I don't get parasites in it.

116

I'm definitely going to give sushi another chance, but I left my camera at the restaurant, but thankfully, they still had it when I went back.

117

After that, I changed real quick and headed back out, because there's one store we wanted to check out in Shinjuku.

118

The next t-shirt is C.J.P.

119

When we finally found it, I only copped a t-shirt, and every restaurant we wanted to go to nearby started closing.

120

It took me forever to figure out how to get home, and when I did, we just copped a box of Domino's pizza near the crib to end off the night.

121

Alright, so right now I'm just walking over to like a convenience store to get some water

122

while my friend is getting ready for the day.

123

We're literally freeballing this whole trip with no real plan, so I decided to try a udon noodle place I keep seeing on TikTok.

124

The line ended up taking almost an hour and bro it was so humid

125

that the inside of my jeans felt like a freaking sauna like bro my ass crack was getting so sweaty

126

after waiting that long i just had to order two dishes one was a carbonara udon

127

and i honestly don't even know what the other one was

128

but both of them was fire i couldn't even finish it

129

so i ended up sharing some but i think the wait was honestly worth it

130

because thinking back this was definitely one of my favorite meals from this trip.

131

When we got back, the rest of the day was pretty calm.

132

I got a video I need to get ready to upload, so I stayed on my MacBook for a while, just getting everything ready.

133

By the time I finished, it was already dark outside, and I'm still not confident yet staying out too late, and I'm scared to miss the last train, so we just ordered Uber Eats.

134

Do you fuck with MOBA?

135

No. You don't?

136

You just don't fuck with the black balls in your mouth?

137

Bro, I bought way too much.

138

I am so full, and I still have one entire burger left.

139

I finished the leftover burger and fries from last night and spent most of the afternoon trying to edit a video.

140

That shit is nowhere near being finished

141

and there's no way I'm gonna spend every day in Japan just sitting on my MacBook.

142

I went back out to Akihabara later to take a look at more figures.

143

We're trying to figure out which stores got the best prices cause some of these places be taxing.

144

I ended up copying another figure and by the time I got back it was dark again.

145

So yeah, I just ordered Uber Eats again.

146

No joke though, before this trip, I've literally never used this app before.

147

And now I just keep ordering enough food for like two or three people

148

because I still don't really know or care what the prices mean.

149

Bro, I'd be waking up before my homeboy like every morning.

150

So I ended up eating last night's leftovers again before heading to Shibuya.

151

today i really just spent time exploring shibuya

152

which was pretty overstimulating i'm not gonna lie since it was

153

so crowded and busy

154

when i got back to the crib though i just took

155

out everything i copped from today at this point i'm comfortable with the trains

156

and everything so tomorrow night i'm gonna go head out to a spot

157

that has like a crazy view overlooking tokyo for dinner though

158

I'm gonna just take us back to the restaurant we went to the first day because the food was fire there.

159

I've been on my MacBook all morning working on some stuff, But before leaving, I booked Tokyo Skytree tickets for later tonight.

160

So hopefully I fuck with it.

161

Right now though, we're heading out to eat some Japanese food called Gyukatsu.

162

That beef was so soft and cooking each piece on the little grill was actually hella fun.

163

Since we're already in Akihabara, I just went to look for more figures again.

164

This is easily becoming my favorite area.

165

I don't even know how many times I've been here so far.

166

The top floor is in the anime buildings, definitely why I keep coming back though.

167

I saw this building on TikTok.

168

We gotta go in here.

169

I dropped off some anime figures I copped at the crib and now we're heading back out for the Tokyo Skytree.

170

I originally wanted to see Shibuya Sky, but all the nighttime slots were gone until my very last night here in Japan.

171

It's pretty similar and everything, so hopefully it's still tough.

172

The view up there and everything was a pretty nice experience.

173

The blue lock theme made me mess with it way more though.

174

After that, I just ate some Italian food again before heading home.

175

So it's currently like almost 12am.

176

This is low-key spooky.

177

I'm just out here alone.

178

I just got out of the shower and I'm heading to the convenience store to grab some water.

179

Yeah, after I grab some water, I'm just gonna go home and go to sleep.

180

Bro, I had to go back to the restaurant from last night because I left my portable charger there.

181

But yeah, since there's a lot of restaurants nearby, I decided to give sushi another try.

182

that sushi was so much better than the first place

183

and it was hella cheap compared to the us it was rainy all day

184

so we only checked out a few shops around before heading back i swear i've been doing

185

so much every day that i'm low-key getting overstimulated

186

so i just wanted to slow things down since the weather outside wasn't the best anyways.

187

Later that night, we only walked to a little ramen spot nearby, then went straight back home.

188

After getting ready the next day,

189

I went to Ropangi, which is an area I haven't explored yet.

190

we checked out the famous donkey store here

191

and compared to the ones in shibuya it was way less

192

crowded i low-key mess with this place a lot it feels calm

193

and way less over stimulating while still having a bunch of stuff to do around

194

all right so i'm just gonna grub on these bagels before i go hit the gym is that shit good

195

after eating i tried going to the gym

196

because i've been itching to work out but bro i went to four different gyms and couldn't join any of them

197

holy fuck that scared me i thought there was a like a dead body hanging up there PLUH!

198

Bro, none of the gyms worked.

199

You didn't work out right now?

200

No!

201

And I was gone for that long.

202

There was no staff and I needed a Japanese address and phone number, so I literally just gave up after trying multiple gyms.

203

Alright, before I shower, let's unbox this Vivian Westwood necklace I got at the store right here.

204

This one's so hard to put on.

205

Do you want me to put a hug for you?

206

No, it's gay.

207

Today ended up being way different than I expected.

208

We were just freeballing it around Shibuya and Shinjuku, and while we were out, a random black dude approached us,

209

and it ended up making my friend feel really uncomfortable for some personal reasons.

210

He disappeared and texted me after saying he wasn't feeling right and wanted to go back.

211

So we just stayed near the Airbnb for the day.

212

But yeah, I booked our bullet train tickets for Kyoto since we're going there soon.

213

Since we only got a few days left before leaving for Kyoto, I wanted to head back out to Akihabara to try to cop more figures.

214

For dinner, we went back to Shibuya and ended up at another Italian restaurant.

215

This time though, I tried Wagyu for the first time and bro, it was good, but I downed it so quick.

216

Dude, it's like, shit's so soft.

217

So today's gonna be my last day in Tokyo for this video since I'm leaving for Kyoto tomorrow.

218

I grabbed a quick meal then went to try some fried sandwiches I've been seeing on TikTok.

219

All right, I will show them long in line for these.

220

Hopefully they're good.

221

Just tastes like bread and cream.

222

All right, let's try this creme brulee nut.

223

This should look mad sweet.

224

I fuck with this one more.

225

When I first landed here, everything felt so overwhelming.

226

I could barely navigate the trains, was running on barely any sleep, and had no idea what I was doing.

227

But after being here in Tokyo for almost two weeks, I found my favorite places to eat and explore.

228

Also, I'm actually capable of getting around myself without getting confused anymore.

229

But yeah, none of this would have happened without y'all, so I genuinely appreciate you if you made it this far.

230

Tomorrow, I'm leaving for Kyoto on a bullet train, and I can't wait since that should be a pretty different experience.

231

But you know, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
