RULES:
– Think of my streams as being invited to my house. If you enjoy it and behave well, you are welcome to stay. If you don’t like it you can leave. But if you are annoying, leaving rude comments or being disrespectful, it will most likely just lead to me closing the door to you and never let you in again. I use the ban function very liberally.
– Comments about individual people that appear in the background of my video will be removed.
– Read the FAQ (below) before asking questions.
– Generic questions about Japan/Tokyo are better asked to Google.
– Avoid foul language (as it might be blocked by Google and/or channel moderators).
– Do not communicate exclusively in emoji.
– Use English or Japanese in the chat.
– Sexist, racist, xenophobic or other comments deemed inappropriate will likely lead to an immediate ban.
– Arguing with the moderators will most likely also get you banned.
– Don’t spam.

FAQ:
Where are you from? Are you Japanese?
– I am Swedish.
For how long have you lived in Japan?
– I came to Japan in 2008.
Why did you move to Japan?
– I was interested in Japan since I was a child, largely thanks to growing up playing a lot of (Japanese) videogames as well as a brief interest in anime during my teenage years. When I finally came here for the first time I felt that it was a really nice and interesting country, and I decided to do what I could to move here permanently.
How did you get a visa to Japan?
– It’s complicated and my case is quite different from most, as I’ve always been self-employed. But basically, as long as you can show the immigration authorities that you have a stable income, there’s usually a way. Personally, I was here on journalist visas until a few years ago when I got married. Now I have a spouse visa.
Do you work in Japan?
– Yes, I’m a photographer. Currently, most of my work is related to tourism and travel in Japan, but I also do portrait photography as well as documentary work. I used to write news stories and articles about Japan as well, mostly for newspapers in Sweden, but for the last 3-4 years, my work has been almost exclusively about photography. Sometimes I appear on TV too.
What camera do you use?
– My live walks are recorded with my phone, a Samsung S21 ultra, mounted on a DJI OM4 Gimbal. 4K videos are mostly shot with an iPhone 12 Pro Max but sometimes also a DJI Osmo Pocket or DJI Pocket 2. For my “real work”, I mostly use a Nikon Z7, but I also have a Z6, Fujifilm X-T3, Leica Q, Sony RX1R mk II and Ricoh GR III that comes with me from time to time.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to move to Japan?
– Study, learn a skill that’s in demand in Japan. There are plenty of available jobs here. Some knowledge of the Japanese language would also help a lot, not just to get you a job, but also so that you can actually enjoy life while living here as well.
How did you learn Japanese?
– I went to language school in Tokyo for one year in 2010-2011. After that, I’ve also taken some online courses and studied on my own.
How many languages do you speak?
– Swedish, English and Japanese reasonably well, and also a bit of German, as I lived there before coming to Japan.
Will you make bicycle videos?
– No. Streaming and interacting with my viewers while riding a bike would be too dangerous.

Thank you for a great walking ❤❤❤ Greetings from Spain ❤💛❤
Thank you for making this a narrative video. I loved watching this video it was very enjoyable.
More of this commentary ❤️❤️❤️
It is a wonderful street with a lot of hidden alleys and mysterious places!!
HI, TE! From me and a kittycat. 🙂
Enjoyable walk and talk TE. I liked you adding comments on what you were viewing. Thank you. 😊
I always enjoy when you talk during videos, that's one of the things that makes your live streams so interesting. Sorry I missed the premiere, I've got strange work hours, which makes for a weird schedule.
I came here early February about 5 years ago. would have died for weather like this :/ Thanks for the consistent great videos.
I enjoy your videos very much. Nice walk, greetings from MÉXICO 👋
Wow! Stockholm is a wonderful city. It's been a long time since I were there !.
Thank's for the time you took for showing to us Stockholm. Large walking area I can see.☺
See you for the next one🙋
Thank you so much for your enjoyable Stockholm stream and I enjoyed it as it benefits me as I'm planning on going to Sweden at some point as some of my English friends live there. It gives me a glimpse into Sweden 🇸🇪 I bet it comes alive at night at the weekend. I also want to see the northern lights.
Although I prefer Göteborg over Stockholm, I must say Stockholm has a lot more to offer and it's central city is more beautiful😁
Please sir can you help me to apply Japan business visa or tourist visa anyone.
I like Watching your YouTube videos 📹 everyday
I read somewhere that the cherry trees in Kungsträdgården was donated by the emperor of Japan to Sweden's king back in the 90s.
I missed this Premiere, as I was busy moving stuff down to my garage, for immediate storage in advance of moving house.
0:10 I LOATHE e-scooter rental mobs. They NEED to be made illegal.
2:16 One lonely video ad 🙁
3:46 Interesting how the rotating NK logo is a clock
3:53 Jaywalkers. Where's the cops?
4:44 Silent pedestrian crossings. Unsafe and disabled unfriendly.
6:36 UNIQLO and we finally hear your voice. I was beginning to wonder how this could be called a guided tour, when you were silent.
7:48 The pile of snow is too uneven to use sleds on
9:25 Lion sculpture. Not as good as the one in Marunouchi Naka Dori, you pass heading to Coffee Person.
9:36 Doggo
10:23 The dreary, overcast weather really suits the ugghly Royal Castle. The clouds and shadow helps hide the ugghly
11:54 Birbs, but where are the Swan Boats?
12:44 Ice floating in the river… YIKE!
14:49 Birbs on floating ice in the river
19:58 Puts me in mind of the north side of Skingrad, in TES IV Oblivion
20:53 Doesn't look to be any ground floor apartments. All the ground floor spaces are shops 🙁
27:03 -2C…. whimper shivver…. Far too cold for me
29:09 What is that building with the clock and temperature?
32:37 A 30 year queue just to rent an apartment??? That's crazy. You'd end up being too old to live in an apartment well before you can get one to rent!
34:33 Konbini 🙂 7-Eleven! Now where's a Lawson or a Family Mart?
Funny, if I wasn't told this was Stockholm at the start of this video I could have mistaken it for being somewhere in Japan. once upon a time Tokyo WAS the futuristic capital of the world, now all big cities look the same. Nice to see how all the old buildings have been preserved. In Greece we just knocked most of them down
Thanks TE!!!!
What a delightful tour, I was a bit worried at the start though given your 'So I think we're live'TM message was absent and I didn't hear you for the first few minutes. I hope you're enjoying your time back in Stockholm, and that you're not missing Japan too much.
På tide med en tur dit igjen….
This city is very charming too. But I miss Japan, return to Japan TE 😀 the Sakura season is near.
Welcome to Stockholm !!!
The color of the train is fashionable
Totally missed this but this video bring back memories from our schooltrip to Stockholm 🙂!! Thank you 👍!!!
Why are there no cars on the road?
Loving it. Can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your escape from the same old Tokyo grind- please don't hate me folks! I'm totally ready for you to morph into Eurasia Explorer! A 'Talkie' is a winner in my book. Thanks!
Great walk and lovely to see Stockholm up close!
