✈️ 30 Days in Asia 🌏 | My Okinawa Adventure 🇯🇵✨

Hello, hello, hello. This is Cali from Cali in China. If you’re new here, welcome. And if you’re not, welcome back. So, I am actually re-recording this intro because the intro that I did back in Shenzhen, I didn’t feel like it was good enough. But basically, I am going on an adventure. I’m on the adventure right now. I am in the city of Busousan in the south of Korea, the south of South Korea. And in this video, I’m going to take you along with me through my 3 weeks journey across different parts of Asia. I’m going to be going to Japan and then over to South Korea where I am right now. And I’m just going to take you along with me cuz I want to explore the world and see what we can get up to. So, if you’re interested, stay tuned for everything that I’m going to show you on my itinerary what I got up to. And I hope that you enjoy this video. If you do enjoy it, give it a like and a thumbs up. It really supports me on the channel. And thank you so much for all of your love and support. I will see you in the video. So, let’s get right into it and back to the video. So, like one thing I did want to talk about first is that Air Asia literally suck. Like their travel allowance being only 7 kg for a carry-on is ridiculous. Like what do you even fit into 7 kg? Like the bag itself weighs 7 kg. Like how much more can I literally fit in there? Like literally socks and nothing. But I’m going to take my bag, my backpack that I always use. And I got this like cute little Squid Game character. Isn’t the circle one literally the cutest ever character that they’ve ever made? Like, I’ll catch you later in the video. I hope that you enjoy this huge travel vlog of me just flopping around different parts of Asia, and I hope to see you on my journey. So, peace out. See you soon. [Music] It’s already like 35° and I haven’t even left. So hot. Good morning. Today is the day I’m actually flying today. So, I am just practically going to take a shower and then going to get all my stuff and then go because my boat leaves at 8:45 a.m. Um, and it’s currently like 7:15 a.m. So, I got to hustle my bus and like get my [ __ ] together. So, yeah, I’m going to go shower and I’m so excited. I can’t believe I’m going to Okinawa today. [Music] So the alert just went off. We had like an alert because it’s like raining very heavily. So, I literally got so scared, but I’m speaking so quietly because I’m still in the hospital. But like that was [ __ ] terrifying and I went downstairs and the guy was like, “It’s so normal.” And I was like, “Okay, [Music] [Music] Good morning. [Music] Good morning. It’s like 6 a.m. I’m so tired right now and I have such a headache. This [ __ ] mattress is so hard. Like I am literally buggling to sleep. So I booked into a hotel for 2 days and I’m going to check in later today at like 3:00 p.m. But oh my god, people kept moving without booking. It was loud. Oh my god. So, I’m driving to my second hotel. I decided that I’m going to book into another one just so I explore like a different region. But, I literally have like all my stuff with me and I’m cycling down the street. So, I’m going to get off my phone so I can pay attention to where I’m going. I literally had to like go in and input the code and then just grab the key which is in my hand and then just go up to the room which is kind of nice. So, let’s have a look. Rainy. [Music] So, I have to take off my shoes. It says, “Do not leave everything at the hotel.” That’s cool. And it has a little light here. Wow. This is really nice. It has this whole kitchen space. This is like a whole apartment. Ooh, and we have some shoes. Let’s see what’s in here. We have a bathroom. I can do my laundry. Wow, it’s kind of small. Look at this. Mine is this mirror down here. Oh, this is really cool. I can turn on the light. Then we come into the main room. You’ve got like your kitchen space here with some cabinets. I’m so scared in case it’s like bugs, but it’s not. It’s clean. Okay. And then like a little fridge. This is so tiny, you guys. Like, what is in here? Nothing. Okay. Okay, nothing is in here. And that’s cool. You got like a little microwave, too. Um, it has this wardrobe space, which is kind of big. I kind of like this. It opens up. Wow. I can hang all my clothes here. I should have booked this place for the whole trip. Um, and then it goes into behind me is Oh, it is more shoes. Is a bathroom. Just a simple bathroom by itself, which is kind of interesting. Let’s close the light to save electricity. And then we come into here. And this is the main room. It’s actually a double like a twin bed situation cuz this room is bigger. Usually when you get the twin bed, it’s usually a bit bigger. But I decided that I’m going to stay here for at least like 2 days. And it’s nice. One thing I will say is like these walls are solid. Like they are concrete. Like fully concrete walls. It’s kind of wild, but it’s nice. I’m going to just stay here for 2 days and get really well needed rest. I will say though, like this design kind of makes me feel like it was just recently built. Like these are these are solid. These walls are solid. I think that’s to protect it from tsunamis and natural disasters cuz that’s really really solid. But that’s very cool. So, I actually don’t have anything planned for today. I just rented a bicycle that you just saw me riding around and that’s practically all I did because yesterday in the hostel I really didn’t sleep well in those beds um because they were like so solid and like so stiff. So I really couldn’t get a good night’s sleep. Plus like everybody was up and about on a Tuesday at like 5 4 in the morning. Like what are y’all doing? Like jeez. So I didn’t really get a good night’s sleep. So that’s what I plan to do here. That’s why I booked this hotel for 2 days. Plus, it’s a little bit of a different area, I guess. Like the beach is down the road a little bit. I don’t know. I haven’t really explored, but from Google Maps, that’s what it looks like. But I did go to the beach this morning, and it wasn’t really a beach. It was kind of like just like, you know, those tsunami warning blocks that are all there that look like these triangle shapes? They were all just kind of scattered along the water there. Um, so that was kind of concerning. Um, but I’m here at least for at least 2 days and then I’ll go back over to the old hostel. But I’ll pop in and out of both places cuz the other place has a sona. So I can go and use that and then come back here whenever I want to. [Music] That’s wild. That sound is so scary. I saw this like chocolate eclair that was in 7-Eleven. I think it was 7-Eleven or Lawson. And I am literally dying. It is so good. Like, let me just open this up. Like, look at that. Isn’t that just like amazing? It’s so good. M so it’s so creamy till I’m bottle away till I’m in a casket you car now I’m going to [Music] cuz it was always you and if I’m turning blue please Don’t save me. Nothing left to lose without love my baby. [Music] Bird of a feather. We should stick together. I know I should have let her, but I never let her alone. Can’t change the weather. But it’s forever. It’s so hot. I got one of these. And I’m just going to take this off like this. Oo. And it’s like this cool jelly. And then you just put on your head like this. And that’s it. So now I’m just cooling down as I go because my head is hurting. I have such a headache. I keep getting like this sensation that I’m like floating back and forward like rocking back and forward. I think it’s called like island fever or something and apparently like it’s pretty common. It could just be like I’m really hung over and it’s causing me to like lose my inner balance, but like it is really taking it out of me today. I’m not going to lie. Like I am just back at the apartment in the hotel again and oh, I got myself some asai bowl. Let me show you cuz it looks pretty good. How yummy does this look? Ooh, maybe I need to open it. But it’s super fresh. She told me the bananas were like directly from the trees above. How good does this look? I’m going to give it a try. Like it’s my favorite thing to get asai bowls. Like I freaking love asai so much. Oh, I am feeling really really dizzy. But yeah, this is Oh my god, it’s so good. I also tried to go to this sushi place which is right across the road from my apartment cuz I was like, you know, like I want to try some sushi. And like I had sushi the other day in the bar yesterday um with the girl that I met in the host, but like they were like out. I think that they had just finished. So, I was kind of like, “Oh, that kind of sucks.” And she did direct me to another one, but I ended up like I’m so exhausted from the day that I’m like, “Maybe I’ll just order.” So, like, luckily like Uber Eats works here. So, I just ordered some food on Uber Eats and I’m just going to eat that and, you know, just pack my stuff and get ready to check out tomorrow cuz like I just want to get going now. like I want to go and see and explore and hopefully there’s more things to do on the other side of the island. If there’s not, like at least I get to see it. Like I’m on an island in Japan. Like how wild is this in like the middle of the East China Sea. Like this is so crazy. Like how did I get here? So one thing that I did notice about here in Okinawa is that majority of people that are here are like couples. like they’re all like together with their soulmates and I’m just here like where is the nearest Lawson at 7-Eleven so I can get some oniiri by myself like I feel so alone I’m not going to lie I’m just seeing like all these happy couples everywhere and as I sit and I walk down the street by myself minding my own goddamn business like I just can’t help be but be be reminded of like what it looks like to be in a happy, healthy relationship. And I’m like, maybe I wanted that. And I I don’t know if I do, but I’m still on this selfexloration journey for myself to travel by myself and to see the world by myself. Like that is my intention and my goal and my aim in life is to go and see these things and experience things by myself. Do you know what I mean? and not have to always have someone there next to me along the way. I don’t know. Seeing all these like couples everywhere, I’m like like a healthy relationship. Like are these healthy? Is this what healthy relationships look like? I don’t know. Maybe I just like enjoy being by myself so I can have the freedom to go wherever I want to go and not have to kind of wait and think about other people. In many ways, I don’t know. I just like to see the world for what it is through my own eyes and my own experience rather than always have to feel like I have to do it with someone. You know what I mean? Anyway, that is just my midnight thoughts. So, I better get to sleep and tomorrow is going to be a big day. So, let’s get to it. Good night. Oh my god, you guys. I came back to get my suitcase and it’s open. [Music] Yeah. [Music] [Music] Heat. [Music] Yo, I’m in a good mood. I just went through my bag. I’m trying to enjoy myself. I am so [ __ ] mad. I mean, I don’t want to let this like get me down cuz it’s only like one incident and it probably could have been avoided if I had stored my bag properly downstairs. Um, I was just under the impression that like you could just leave your bag there. So that was probably on my part a fault, but I just didn’t expect it and it kind of made me think a little bit about being here. And yeah, I mean, what can I do? I’m just going to go and enjoy the rest of my trip, I guess, and just continue. Luckily, nothing is gone, so I was smart about that. But holy [ __ ] what the hell? I’m so irritated that that has happened to me. I’m like so pissed off and like I just didn’t expect it and I’m trying not to like get in my head about it but it’s just irritating me. So I’m just like ready to move on from this. I’m like you know what everything is fine. Everything is fine. But what the [ __ ] Well, I’m on my way to the American village. Actually, he gave me like a note that I have to take like bus number 28 from the bus terminal, which I think is right here. But yeah, I booked into a hotel. So, I’m going to sit there for one night and then we’ll see how things go. Wish me luck. I made it. This is the hotel I’m going to be staying in. There’s literally nothing around here. It’s so like deserted. But here I am. [Music] I got my room key. So, I’m going to go up to the room. I’m just waiting for the elevator. Oh, here it is. Okay. Okay. Wow. And I can see myself on the camera. Wow. This is cool. Oh, wow. Okay, so this is my room. Oh my god, you guys. The way that there are [ __ ] bugs everywhere. Um, y’all, I need to go down to get the lady. I’m so fear. It was up there on the light. This Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it’s not here anymore. I think it’s I got so scared. I’m so terrified of bugs and like literally I I’m the worst. I told y’all like I’m the worst traveler. Anyway, I’m in the hotel room and I’m going to show you the room now because it looks nice so far from what I can see, but I haven’t even looked at it. But let’s go together. All right, looks good so far. We’ve got two doors here. This must be Oh, of course. Isolated toilet. Um, and then there’s another room here, which is the bathroom. The shower. Yeah, that’s cool. It’s very It’s like a wet room shower. What about the light? Oh, okay. That’s cool. And this is a nice setup. I kind of like this little mirror setup. It’s kind of big. It’s got a big space. And then there’s like something check for like bugs and snakes cuz I’m so terrified. Um, and then there’s another mirror here which is gorgeous. That’s really cool. Um, and then there’s I don’t know what’s up here. I’m not even going to look. Um, you’ve got like two Moana. The Moana. Am I in Am I in Moana? Um, and then there’s like this cute I don’t know what this situation is, but we’ve got a menu which is like it’s like the rules. Okay, cool. And then, wow, this bed is really nice. It looks so comfortable. Dead ass. It’s so soft. And there’s like What is this? A light. Oh, which light? There’s so many buttons and I don’t know what anything does. You know what? Yeah. You know what? Oh, there’s there. Oh, that’s cool. Okay. Well, thanks. Okay, let’s just close that. Um, it has this TV which is very interesting. It kind of gives a good view of the room. That’s nice. And then the reason I got this is because it has a balcony of the sea, which Why is the tide all the way out there? That’s kind of concerning. Is this supposed to be out there? They’re so far away. Anyway, there’s this like balcony area where you can sit, which is kind of nice, but I’ll check it out. I mean, there’s some ocean waves over there in the far distance. Is the ocean supposed to be this far back? I don’t know. I’m not an oceanologist. I mean, since I’m here, I am going to go over to the American village, which is just like I think she told me it’s like very close. Like, it’s just like a 5minute walk. But I’m going to probably take a nap. Oh my god. Oh my god. It’s so soft. I’m going to take a nap first because this bed is so comfortable. Oh my gosh. Oh wow. [Music] Damn, you guys. Like, this place is so nice. It’s so like American ice. Like, I’ve never been to America, but I would kind of think like America is like this. It’s You know what I mean? Like, it’s so beachy and they have like all of these like base. I don’t know what they are. It looks like where people play baseball or something like a baseball arena. Um, and I’m just walking like it’s kind of nice. It’s a little bit hot. [Music] Woohoo! I got another asai bowl. Look at this. Like these asai bowls are so delicious. Doesn’t this look amazing? Look at these berries and the bananas. Look so good, too. So, maybe I’ll give it a try. This place is lit. Wow, it’s so fresh. Let me show you. I love being on the beach eating with like my favorite thing to do ever. [Music] Honestly, like this is so incredible. Like I’m literally speechless. Like this looks so gorgeous. Look at the sunset. It’s so pretty. And like I just feel like so blessed because I have been working so goddamn hard. I’m getting emotional. But like um this year has been so many twists and turns and I’m just when I see something like this and I feel like I have worked my ass off to actually earn to enjoy something like this, I’m like I’m forever grateful. I just I have this opportunity and I don’t take it for granted ever. And I just I’m just like in awe that I’m actually here. I wish that my grandma was still here so she could see it too, but I’m sure that she could see it um in her own way. Um she probably sees better sunsets. Um but [ __ ] it’s so pretty here. I’m so like shook. I’m so shook. It’s so beautiful here. [Music] cuz this is the most beautiful place in the world. Like just the ocean is so like green and blue. Like I wish I lived here forever. I am an island person. Like I do not belong in the city. And let me tell you something, like everyone on these islands are so goddamn hot. How do you all do it? How do you move here and live here forever? Cuz that’s what I want to do. [Music] It’s so pretty. Tada. The water is so warm and so like so pretty. And it’s like there’s no jellyfish because they have like the jellyfish nets so you could just swim like at ease. I love it here. It’s pretty here. I can lay here all day. What? I’m taking the bus back now. I don’t want to leave, but if you are interested, there’s a bus stop next to Aara Beach. Um, and you can take bus number 63 and it goes directly back to Naha, the city. So, it’s about 30 stops, which is like 50 minutes, like an hour, but it’s one of the only ways. There’s another two buses, 120, and I think the other one was 28. Um, but I don’t know where the bus stop is for there, but you can just literally use Google Maps. And yeah, the bus stop is right here behind me. So, it should be here in like 3 minutes. So, I’m just waiting under the tree cuz it’s hot. But, you know what? I think I’m going to stay a little bit longer. And that’s the beauty of it because I don’t need to go. I can just go and do whatever I want. And I think that that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to go find somewhere to charge my phone. And I’ll probably just take the last bus, which is like 6:00 p.m. back to the city because when am I ever going to be on a beach in Okinawa again? I don’t know. So, like, I might as well make the most of it. This is probably the wildest decision I’ve ever made this trip, but let’s do it. I came to check if they had any rooms at this hotel. It’s called Breicky Hotel. It was just on the street and I was like, I’m going to the bus and the bus stop is across the road, but it’s so goddamn hot. And luckily, like there’s no one here. So, I couldn’t like book into the hotel, but I’m saying luckily because the toilet was open, so I got to my I got to cool down in the AC on. But I’m literally just waiting for the bus. So, I ended up making the decision to change the hotel. Goodbye hostel. This is the name of the hostel if you’re interested. And I just wanted to change because I only booked this one as like a landing place, like the first place I would sleep. But honestly, I can’t do these capture hotels anymore. So, I’m going to book into a hotel and going to take you there. I’m just going to walk there cuz it’s about 15 minutes. So, I’ll show you when we get there. Okay. Here is the next hotel. We’re going to our room. Okay, so she said to tap on here. Okay, cool. Oh, the door doesn’t doesn’t open all the way. That’s so weird. Okay, there’s no lights. Hello. Okay. Wow. Okay, so this is the next room that I have for the next like 2 days until my flight. Basically, I just wanted to have my own private space so I could sort out all my stuff. Um, and it has a view of the port. How do I like open this? I don’t know how to like lift this up. Oh, no. It closed. I guess you can’t open that. But you can kind of see behind there the port and the view of the port, which is kind of nice. Um, honestly, I’m kind of like, no, I mean, it’s fine, but what’s irritating, let me just What’s irritating is like I booked this one because it said that there was a pool and there was pool access and I got here and she told me that I have to pay an extra 1,800 yen to use the pool, like on a daily, but daily access kind of thing. And I was like, that’s kind of not what it said on trip.com. Like I’m pretty sure it said room of the pool. Like room including access to the pool. So I’m kind of like well I got to pay to use the pool now. Like whatever. But at least like I have my own kind of space. Um for 2 days is better than sleeping in that capsule hotel because I was over it. I was so over it. So I feel a little bit better now. I’m also having like a little bit of a fashion meltdown because I’m looking at all my clothes that I’ve packed and I’m like, none of these clothes fit me. First of all, like my shorts that I have literally worn for so long, they don’t fit me anymore. And I’m like, why didn’t I check this before I left? And then another thing is like I bought these like vest tops and they were really cute and they are really cute but like I don’t have anything to go with it on the bottom cuz when I wear shorts it just feels lacy, you know? So I’m like maybe I need to go on the hunt for some nice clothes. There is a uniqlo but it’s kind of far away. Um, so the only thing I’m going to be wearing now is like this shirt and the white version of it with my shorts until I do my laundry cuz I’m still waiting for like the laundry place downstairs to like let me do my laundry. Um, and then like another thing is like I have these trousers too, which I thought that they were cute. Like they look like this, like this kind of like stretchy fabric material, but actually when I put it on, like around the hemline, it is so gross. It’s so uncut. It’s so unclean. I don’t like it. Like the cutting of this is disgusting. So, I’m going to go and find some clothes at some point, but I’m trying to figure out like what I need. I probably just need shorts to be honest. I don’t know. I probably want to throw all out all of my laundry and all of my luggage. I mean, I could do that and make space for new luggage, which is probably something I will actually do. You guys, I’m sick. I literally I think that I have CO because um this hotel is like all the cruises and I noticed that like a lot of people were coughing and sneezing around me. Um so I’m going to take some Tylenol and I just got myself like sweat and like thermometer and things like this and oh god the this is like the reality when you’re like traveling by yourself is cuz you have to go and do all this by yourself. But I got this cute little fan. It says I heart Okinawa from 7-Eleven. She gave it to me for free, which is kind of nice, but I literally cannot find a pharmacy. So, the only medicine I have is Tylenol um that I got in China. So, I’m going to take that. And I also got myself a vitamin C drink. So, I can just drink this. And hopefully this makes me feel a little bit better. And I’m going to just nap today. Like, I’m so tired right now. So, here’s a little travel hack that I kind of picked up along the way because a lot of the times when you take the card out, the like machine thing, the AC and everything turns off so when you get back it’s hot. But some of the hotels you can actually just like fold the key card kind of thing and just put it in like here and it should still work. Like yeah, it’s working. Like the AC is still on which is cool. [Laughter] [Music] Hey guys, like I just literally heard a noise coming from this mirror and I thought it was just a mirror, but then I saw this like circle thing flashing. So, I just want to touch it and see what happens. Oh, is that YouTube? They have YouTube on this. Like, what is this? You’ve got like what is this? Merchandise sale, room service, like check out. That’s cool. Let’s go to YouTube. Oh, also services and the weather questionnaire. Okay, YouTube. Dead ass. Can you watch YouTube on this? Imagine you’re just like getting ready and then you can watch YouTube at the same time. How incredibly genius is that? Let’s have a look and see. H And there I am. Wow. If I can just like get ready and watch one of my my videos. Hey everyone, I’m out here in Guango and I’m going to go here. Like and subscribe. That’s my channel, by the way. If anyone is interested in supporting me. Thank you. It’s so cool to see my channel here, like in Japanese as well. Cool. Dead ass. Like, I feel like I need a vacation from this vacation because I usually sleep so early. Like I’m that kind of person that just goes to sleep at like 10:00 p.m. or like 11. 11 is like a wild night. It’s like a crazy night. But like I have been sleeping at like 3:00 in the morning, 2 3:00 in the morning because I’m just so like in holiday mode that I’m so excited to do everything. But now it is really catching up to me and I’m feeling way too exhausted for this. Like I’m so tired right now. I want to just sleep for like a whole goddamn week. I think that’s what I’m going to do in Busousan because I’ve been checking the weather and it looks like there’s a storm. Um, so there’s that. Um, so hopefully it goes smoothly. I’m waiting for my breakfast and I’m running a bath and then I’m going to take a sleeping tablet and just sleep the whole day today because I just don’t I’m so I need to rest. I need a I need a rest day because I’ve been going non-stop and I’m starting to get delusional. So, on my final notes in Okinawa, this is going to be my last evening. Basically, I just wanted to reflect on myself to sort of understand how far I’ve come and how much of a person I’ve grown into and how I’ve changed. And I think being here by myself and having the opportunity to explore and travel alone has really allowed me to genuinely like reconnect with myself. There has been so many moments this year alone where I just was at my lowest point and I just feel so grateful um that I have this opportunity. I’m getting emotional talking about this, but um you know people tend to travel for a reason of of seeing another country to exploring a different experience and things like this. And my reason isn’t very much different from anyone else’s. But the reason that I have traveled so long by myself is because I’m on a sort of self-discovery journey of always reintroducing myself through other cultures and experiences and um it’s always something that I take fully like into consideration and I really appreciate having this opportunity. So I’m very grateful for being here uh today. I’m happy that I’m alive. if I’m happy that I’m well and I have rediscovered this kind of like self- loveve for myself um that I just think it’s such a a beautiful thing and and such um an inspiring thing for myself like I feel inspired by everything around me and the people that I’ve met on this journey but more so I feel inspired by myself because I allowed myself to put myself forward um you know what I mean and I’m just I feel a little bit like emotional tonight. Um because it’s been so long. It’s been such a a long journey. And if you’ve been following me on this channel, um the past 3 years um have not been the easiest. Um but I did it and I made it through and I’m a stronger person because of it. And I talk about my grand a lot. Um she passed away this year. Um, I don’t know if I should share too much information, but yeah, she always believed in me and you know, I’m doing it for you, Grandma. Like, I want to get you all the fans from all over the world um to bring them to you. So, hopefully you can see it one day. I need to stop crying. Okay. Um, but yeah, I’m just feeling very warm and inside and grateful. Um, so I’m going to just fully log off for that rest of this um, trip in Okinawa. I’m going to be going to Busousan next. So stay tuned for content from Busousan. I hope that you enjoyed the video so far and I hope that I have shown you different parts of myself and the world and everything around me. And I’m just grateful that you’re here on this journey. So much love. Thank you so much. I appreciate you all and I’ll see you in the next one. Bye. [Music]
