Very fancy. Why is there a naked guy? Very confusing. Which number? 49. So it should be here. Someone's snoring.

Uh-oh.

My feet stink. My feet smell so bad. Oh, I can smell my feet from here. This is so weird. This is so weird. It's a pretty basic capsule hotel. There's a light switch and a USB port and some kind of plug socket. That's it, there's nothing else. You get a little shelf. I guess it's okay.

So that was my capsule hotel. I wanted to make a video in there, but it was just so quiet that it was too embarrassing to speak. Everyone would be able to hear me. There was some bloody guy snoring the whole time as well, which was very irritating. So annoying because most of the capsules were empty and they put everyone bunched together next to each other when they could have spaced us out a little bit. It seems like a nice capsule hotel. It's very clean, very modern looking. Looks quite new as well. It's just weird. It was 5 PM in the afternoon and that guy was snoring for about 2 hours. Who comes to Japan and then just ends up sleeping all day long snoring? And there was this other guy sneezing. That's the annoying thing about capsule hotels. You're so close to everyone else, you can hear everything. You can hear the snoring, the coughing, the sneezing, any movement they make, you'll be able to hear it. The reason why I decided to go for a capsule hotel was because, well, I want to go into— I want to move into this guest house, but the stupid manager hasn't replied. I'm guessing it's because it's Sunday today. Maybe he doesn't check his email on Sunday. So I decided to spend tonight at that capsule hotel. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to move into the guest house. I can't really afford to keep staying at Airbnbs, and I think the guest house would be nice because I can meet people as well. I don't know why they like spraying the ground with water in Japan. A lot of people just sitting around. I'm in Namba. It's quite nice, quite a relaxed atmosphere. Lots of places to eat. Maybe I'll get something to eat and then head back to the capsule hotel. Hopefully it won't be more— hopefully there won't be more Snoring during the night.
