Hello everyone! Thanks for watching this video! As of August 2023, I'm no longer an ALT with the JET Program (I left on good terms!). I won't be responding to comments on this video anymore, but you can still connect with me on Instagram @chelseav_jp Thanks for supporting this channel the past 2 years, it was fun creating videos about being an ALT!
Hey, a fellow English educator in Kagoshima! Welcome! I swear, every ALT in this country is assigned that very same refrigerator. I had the same dish cabinet, too, just a different color. Brings back a lot of memories of those days. But the really important thing is I see your board games there! If you find some board game-inclined folks in your area, point them to this comment. My old group dissolved when everyone moved away. I have a couple dozen games sitting around waiting for new people to play!
How darling! Cozy and simple. I feel like this is a life at peace. Found your channel while researching ATL info. Can't wait to watch more!!
I love how you decorated the place, it looks great and the games/switch keep you out of boredom when not teaching 😁
i'm leaving for tokyo orientation in two days!!! perfect timing, really :)
Your place is so cute and pinterist worthy! I have a question because im thinking of applying to the JET program. How many holidays are you allowed to take off during the year? I want to be able to visit my family.
Been waiting for this! The obligatory Jet programme tour 😄
Yooooo I have those Same Joycons! Halloween themed 😁
absolutely LOVE how you decorated your apartment - the art in your living room is the cutest!! i’m applying to be a JET right now and just finished my interview so now i’m waiting to find out - if i’m lucky enough to get into the program i so hope my apt is as awesome and cute as yours!! good luck w JET!!
love this! and peter ❤️
Your most awaited vlog. Thank you for sharing this. 😍
Such a cute apartment! I am arriving in a few days and hope I get to make it feel homely like that. 😁 Also, I saw that Steam Deck beside the Switch. 👀
I already loved your aesthetic but seeing that you're an Illenium fan brought it to the next level! It's a really nicely done place, and I hope I'll be able to do a similarly good job when I (hopefully) arrive myself.
I have that same rice cooker! Bless
Yesss a fellow bug net user! The piece of mind they bring outweighs how silly it can feel 🦟 Great video! I like your camera choices and editing
thank you so much! its been fun learning how to make videos 😊
Can't believe I've only just found this! You've really made the place your own! That net over your bed is such a good idea- wish I'd thought of that 😂I got a massive nostalgia hit being walked through that apartment- hope you're enjoying your time there :)
you found me!! im sure seeing the place again brought back so many memories 😭 the net has saved me so many times, no more waking up to buzzing in the middle of the night. i hope you're doing well!!
I see wanikani! hehe
Wow, your apt is larger than most I've seen. Nice
Gamer is rockin' a Nintendo switch and steam deck?! Legendary!
Lovely apt.
I would love to live here in this apartment in japan
thanks for watching! i've included links to furniture and supplies in the description box for your convenience
❤❤❤
What is with the net around the bed?
My daughter leaves for Gifu City in a month. I hope she has an equally well furnished apartment from a prior ALT. Her predecessor is staying in Gifu City. Where did you get all the organizing and decorative stuff? You mentioned Muji. Do you order stuff on Amazon? Is there a different selection of stuff on Amazon in the Japan compared to the US? Love all your vlogs.
congrats to your daughter! i've gotten most of my furniture from nitori and muji, which i've linked in the description. i also have things from amazon japan, which does have different items than US amazon
Where did you buy that giant pillow??? its perfect for me
i got it from nitori, but it's sadly not available anymore
so nice. How about your job? Can share of the things you do as an ALT? 🥰
i'm planning on making a video about being an ALT! for me, it's mostly about making english fun and supporting my english teachers, as well as sharing about my experiences outside of japan!
Wow that's amazing. Have fun and enjoy your job there! 🥰
Tatts... must be Yakuza.
i'm sure u'll do well and have fun at the same time!!!(check ur email or DM for collab from brand ttd_eye)
