First video in Japanese! Me and two coworkers doing a bit of sightseeing around Okinawa. We went to the Sweet Palace, Okinawa's famous aquarium and Nago Pineapple Park.I made two mistakes when I filmed this; not thinking about what I was going to say before I opened my mouth (which is why I umm and aah a lot), and not keeping background noise low. It's my first videos on location so I learnt a lot from it!I planned to put in English subtitles but it's such a hassle! Below is a translation but it's hard to put them in the video. Tell me what you think of the video and tell me if I should make more Japanese videos (without in-video subtitles) or just stick to English.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AlecGood morning!ShiojiGood morning!AlecToday I'm with Shioji. I work with Shioji and today we came here for some sightseeing.We've come to a place called 'Okashi Goten'. You understand 'okashi' right? 'Okashi' is things like cakes and sweets. Goten's meaning is like, 'palace', right? So, in this place there are lots of sweets and cakes and you can eat lots. I didn't eat breakfast so this is a bit scary, a bit dangerous. Maybe in the next video I'll be really fat!ShiojiBecause you'll eat a lot?!AlecRight!So, first is the Okashi Goten. Then we'll go to the aquarium ... we'll go? ... yes, we'll go.Then maybe afterwards is Kouri Island.What kind of island is Kouri Island?ShiojiKouri Island is; the bridge from the main island to Kouri Island is the longest bridge in Okinawa.AlecThe longest bridge!If it's good weather, we plan on going to that island.Ciao!--AlecThis is the Beniimo Tart factory.Here you can see the beniimo tarts they're making.But, over there is a woman and her job is just 'checking'. Boring huh? Boring. I feel sorry for her.Well, later we'll eat some! Aah, just me!! Muhahaha.--AlecNow I'm with the Sata Andagi. Sata Andagi is like Okinawan donuts. I don't really eat them. They're really, fried. Like, fat ... something like fried fat! So, I don't eat them. But, I've eaten them before and, yeah, it was quite nice. They're like donuts, Okinawan donuts.--AlecHi again. Now I'm in another car.This is Kinami, another girl I work with. A self-introduction please!YukoHi! Hi! I'm Yuko! Nice to meet you.AlecShe says you can all call her 'Yuko'. But, for me, it's 'Miss Kinami'. Why?! How come?!Well, after this we plan on going to the aquarium. Is it just called 'Aquarium'?YukoAquarium. Chura Sea Aquarium.AlecChura Sea Aquarium. 'Chura' is Okinawan dialect. It means 'beautiful' right?Kinami is naichaa (mainland Japanese) so ... YukoWe're both naichaa!AlecShe came from the mainland, so she doesn't really understand Okinawan dialect. Same as me. Bye!--AlecWe're here! So, this is the aquarium. And all three of us like fish. So, we came to see here! What's your favourite sashimi (raw fish)?YukoLobster!AlecI like tuna. It's tasty huh? I wonder if there's any here. What about you, Shioji?ShiojiI also like tuna.AlecAh, tuna. Well, if there's tuna here, we'll buy it!YukoWe'll eat it!AlecYeah, we'll eat it!Let's go!--AlecAfter taking the video before, the camera soon broke so I couldn't use it anymore. I was really worried! It's ok now but, after that video I couldn't make any more. After the aquarium, we went to a place called 'Nago Pineapple Park', and we could see lots of pineapples. When you go to this pineapple park, you ride on a cute cart through the pineapple park, and you can see lots of pineapples. From little pineapples, to huge, ripe pineapples. You can see them all!So, after riding we went to the food tasting room where there's all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink.At all-you-can-drink you can drink things like pineapple juice and pineapple wine. And at all-you-can-eat, you there's pineapple cakes, pineapple chinsuko (Okinawan biscuits) and pineapple cookies. You can try them all!--AlecIt was fun. Really fun. Entry was only 500yen (£2, US$4) and for that cheap you get all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink. But if you eat a lot, you feel bad right? And then lots of people will say 'Ooh, that guy is eating all that huh!'. So, people just eat a bit right? That day was really fun so I want to say a big thank you to Kinami and Shioji. It was fun!What shall I do for my next video? My next video will be about this phone. My new phone is cute right? Though I have lots of straps. So, the next video will probably be about this phone.So, from now .... so, what did you think of this video? Do you prefer Japanese or English? Are they the same?Well, thanks for watching!Message me if you want to know how I got this job working in the island paradise of Okinawa.
