And I know that the number one question right now

is: Martina what the F@#k is up with your look today?

You are a hot mess! What is going on, girl?

but then I put it on and I changed my mind

because then I started to wear this really bright cute shirt,

and I was like, "It doesn't match my lips,"

it leaves, like, a mucky, dirty--it looks like you ate, like, a chocolate cupcake

I've made up my mind
Martina: But my hair!

basically, choose between Korea and Japan!

Thanks for the super easy one that I'm sure is not going to piss off anybody with this answer,

But we've thought long and hard about this

we've spent almost a full year here in Japan

looked over all of the data that we've compiled

Angry commenters! Stop! Give me a chance to explain!

We're gonna talk about our reasonings here and then

we're gonna give you our disclaimers afterwards,

but please hear us out before you get angry

and if at the end of the video you're still upset with our

answer, then please feel free to let us know in the comment section below.

Yes. Now despite this year and last year being

I can say this has been the happiest year of my life.

and all of the years that I can remember in Canada,

This, by far, has been the greatest year of my entire life.

We often find ourselves coming home on our bicycles being like,

Martina: I'm just...happy
Simon: I'm happy here!

56
00:01:45,580 --> 00:01:47,580
Martina: I just like smiling; smiling is the thing to do!
Simon: Smiling is the best!

Allow us to explain what has made us happy. I'd like to begin with

the first category, which I call: Neighbors and Sounds

A lot of people told us that it is going to be very difficult for us here,

that Japanese people are very cold and reserved

But when we came here to our neighborhood,

I am amazed at how warm and loving our neighbors are.

whenever we bike home and I see her there, I'm happy to speak with her.

Our neighbors to the left and to the right, we chat with..

Actually, one of our other neighbors like, rang on our doorbell

and it was so amazing and touching because

in all of the years that we've been in Korea

and all of the different places that we lived in Korea

Did we ever have any contact with the neighbors?

I did not expect our neighborhood to be so warm and caring

and I love it here and it makes me so happy.

Now I will say that it could definitely be because we're in an actual neighborhood

and maybe if we moved to like an apartment in Japan

Simon: Possibly.
Martina: Maybe it would be like, people don't wanna talk to you and stuff.

It makes me feel immensely happy to come home,

I'm excited to decorate the outside with Christmas lights!

the neighbors right beside us that speak like, no English at all

so I'm having just, warm, wonderful feelings.

And also, our neighborhood is very quiet.

and I can't emphasize enough how important this is for us

because what's great about having a quiet neighborhood like this

is that I can sleep an entire night without waking up.
Martina: Yeah.
