Bahamas mas Auto McConnell in right dog Naruto moon there on democracy Congress ought to knock their money horn gobo what was the company to mostly our canine desk a little more high korekara Manzano cone units lychee barack a called a haha co-state on muy mas okay so hey everyone Dogen here i'm going to try and spend a good amount of time talking about the process I went through buying my condominium in Japan this is really weird for me because all of my content is always either in Japanese or it's completely scripted or the rare times that I speak English I'm talking to someone so I'm really really bad at talking without any kind of script so I apologize for that beforehand and I've made a couple notes on my phone that I'll referred to but yeah I guess let's just get started so how did I come across or how did I get into this process of buying a condo in Japan how did this whole thing start so no well I guess my patrons know but I actually have kids I have twins that are about one year and about two and a half months year old two and a half months old and so it's we live in a two-bedroom apartment wait you call it to ldk in the hole so what that is is it's a basic apartment with two two bedrooms and a fairly large living room and I'll put up a tour video this place as well once we've cleaned out of the boxes we're in the process of moving so it's kind of crazy right now but um yeah we've we've got kids and things are getting more and more and more semi cramped because they're twins so we've gotten you know two baby beds in our bedroom with our bed so there's no room in there and the living room is completely dedicated to their play space but you know that's getting full of like full with their their clothes and their toys and stuff like that and then I have my office in the other bedroom but because they're tired of playing in the living room all the time and because there's no place to stay and there's no space to play in the other bedroom where we sleep they always end up playing in here and they like knock over my mic and my my tripod with my computer and yeah so anyways it's the place that we have right now is quite nice but it for a Japanese apartment it's fairly I would say it's on the larger side so that means each month we're paying about 800 750 u.s. dollars based on the current what do you call it yoga 8 don't currency exchange rates so yeah about $750 a month here and we're paying that for a space that has served us pretty well since the twins were born but it's starting to get a little bit cramped and a little bit more difficult to use and we find ourselves basically like doing playtime in the hallways all the time so we talked in the past a little bit about whether or not it would be possible to buy a house in Japan and a house or a condo and I've always been more interested in a condo because I like I don't know something about the idea of living in like the upper floor of a relatively high building with a nice view of or you know like the ocean stuff like that I really like that and I always have it's just my personal preference so okay if we buy it's gonna be a house or a condo I mean more on the condo side and wife says okay I'm cool with that too so but we don't know if any of this is possible on our current budget if we're spending you know $750 a month currently on our rent and so we got this just happened to get this flyer in the mail that says it's from a real estate agent / architect firm they're putting up a whole bunch of new condos in Beppu and lloyd bet boo is the city i live in and bit boo annoyed i and all across Kyushu and it had a line on it that said you can live in this condo for 600 $700 converted into yen a month with a 35 year loan and I'll get into this later but a 35 year loan in Japan is normal so when we saw that when I saw that I was like oh wait what because it had two additional rooms compared to what we have here now and everything was just nicer I mean this this place was new and we moved in here but just even even nicer select the materials that they used and in the the bathroom and the flooring and everything was nicer so it was like okay maybe we should try and learn more about this and so we went and we checked it out and we you know we got a tour of the the property the condo and it was okay I mean the the inside was very very nice but again one of the things that I've always been interested in is having a nice view I would gladly spend like a fourth maybe we don't a force maybe a fifth of like my budget for a house on on the view on the land and so the location was great and the inside you know it was all brand-new and it was very nice but it didn't have a very nice view and so we were like I don't know it's kind of mmm not for us and so the real-estate agent said okay well we've got another place it's a couple years older but it has a nice view would you like to go see that so it's a little bit older so it's a little bit cheaper but it's I can't give away too much personal details obviously so I'll just kind of fudged the numbers by saying this it's the upper third the upper third floors in one of the upper third floors in a building that's more than 10 stories high so nice view and so we went and we checked it out and it was I fell in love with it immediately sort of my wife and we said okay we'd like to get this place you know what should we do next and so at this point we don't we haven't done any research on like the loan like applying for a loan or mortgage in Japanese by the way um you always say Jew talk the goal and that means mortgage in Japanese so I always say loan even when I'm explaining the situation in English and that's because I'm used to saying the Japanese word which is a foreign word loan so whenever I say loan just know that it means mortgage so yeah we we went there and we checked it out we really liked it and we said we'd like to learn more and she said okay um well it's it's this price and again I can't give too much details out because my financial situation and stuff like that but I'll say this it's the price of the the property the whole total package the the condo was in the ballpark of the price of the average American house when I looked that up like about a year ago I don't know what it's at right now but when I looked it up about a year ago it was around a similar price so you'll and again you'll see what it looks like in the upcoming tour video but so she said it's this much would you be comfortable paying this much and I said yeah that's that's in our our range because I plan on living my whole life the rest of my life in Japan provided there's no dramatic changes in my circumstances um but the thing I was concerned about is even if I can financially if that's in my financial zone so to speak is that can I can I get a loan from the bank because I'm a foreigner so this is like the number one question that I got from owing you guys it's what's the deal if you're a foreigner can you buy house in Japan can you get a loan if you're a foreigner so a little bit more about my situation now I'm married to a Japanese national my wife is Japanese she doesn't work though and so I provide all of the the income for us all the money comes from me so in on the books you know it's all coming out on my side but she's the Japanese national and my status my visa is multirecord I'm opening on it's like a spousal visa so the reason that I can stay in Japan is because my visa is you know I'm married to a Japanese national and you can essentially renew that as many times as you want provided you don't commit any crimes or anything like that so I've been married to my wife depends on if you could just go by the paperwork about four ish years so and I'll get more into that later as well but I do not have permanent residence in Japan which is essentially the same thing as having a green card in like the United States so if you have permanent residence in Japan basically any major financial financial institution will treat you the exact same way as they would treat a Japanese citizen so no look at like you know you're into the Year tax statement and stuff like that the same way that they would look at a Japanese average employee a company or something like that but I have a really weird situation because I don't have permanent residents even though I've been in Japan for about nine years and I could probably get it if I applied for it but the issue with us is that you know we really wanted to get this place and luckily we ended up getting it but it takes a long time to get permanent residents like the application process from beginning to end is about a year long so even if I applied for it the day of you know the the day that we went and we saw the condominium to begin with sorry my knees hurt it would be a there's a good chance someone would swoop in you know before us beneath us ahead of us and buy the property just because if it was a Japanese person they wouldn't have to go through that process they could just apply for the loan pretty easily as long as they had a stable job and then get the money and boom and be done so we had a different situation and this is a game where all the questions that you guys asked me essentially are related to this topic but so the next thing that happened is the real estate agent said okay well if you're really interested in buying it and you you can commit to buying it if you get approved to a loan if you get approved for a loan then you know maybe I can try and help you out more so obviously it's in the real estate real estate agents the real estate companies interest to even for even to treat a foreigner quite well because it was a property that had been on the market for a relatively you know two years but the price had been anyway they wanted to sell it and I said I wanted to buy it so they they were willing to help me out in order to get the loan so the next thing that we happened is I had a meeting with it was myself someone from the bank and the realist yeah the real estate agent and so the person from the bank said okay well before we had the meeting they said you need to bring records of all the money that you've made essentially for the past two years so luckily I'm responsible and I stay on top of my taxes and all that even though I get a lot of money a fair amount of the money that I make I get from not my normal job but from like YouTube and patreon and stuff like that so I have been reporting that all as the correct way ever since I started to get it even before I was even making like $2,000 a year on everything online so I had all the records for everything because I've been doing that and that's really really important to do if you ever plan on buying a property in Japan to make sure that you have the records of everything because Japanese financial institutions I would say are probably I don't have anything to compare this with but well they're very very careful and they want to make sure that every detail is perfect so I had all all of my papers and you need to have that and I brought them all in and he said okay well based on these numbers I can't you know give any promises but we may be able to lend to you okay I should talk about this beforehand so the person from the bank the first thing the real-estate agent the first thing that she did after we expressed interest in buying is she said okay we don't have permanent residents but maybe I'll try calling a few local banks and see if anyone will land to you and so she called buoyed up bank I live in Olathe Prefecture she called a bank and they denied her they said if it if he doesn't have permanent residence no and I understand that she called a couple of other banks too but I don't remember their names um so I think she called three or four banks before she arrived at a bank called machine the nation t-bone machine new home she did giggle so West Japan Citibank and I want to put the name of the bank in here because they were gracious enough to lend to me despite me not having permanent residents so thank you I think that if any other foreigner in Japan doesn't have permanent residents maybe they would be one of the first places that you would want to try and contact West Japan City Bank leasing the bone or Niecy Nihon City Ginkel they land to foreigners even if they don't have permanent residents however one of the main reasons that they they decided to lend to me sorry my knees again is because I'm married to a Japanese national a Japanese citizen and I have been for more than three years so that's one of the big checks that they have for land when they lend to foreigners that's one of the things they look at you know has he been married to a Japanese citizen for a relatively long time it looks like they're not going to get a divorce and you know working making this much money okay probably he'll be in Japan for a long time and he's expressing interest in buying this so obviously you know that's also further proof that I'll probably be in Japan for well a foreseeable future at least as long as it takes to pay off the loan so this bank said they would lend to me and well they said they would try to lend to me and they would there's an application process as there would be for any mortgage in in Japan it's a to process there's a double application so initially it's like a pre-screening application so you submit a bunch of forms that don't have to be official so I had a bunch of like records that I printed off directly from the internet from like patreon and YouTube and Google Adsense and stuff like that that showed how much money I was making so I printed all that off you know again on top of the income statement that I get from my normal work I work at a higher educational institution in Japan I won't I'll talk about that a little bit later so I've got two jobs essentially so one a normal job and all the YouTube patreon Japanese related stuff so that's to multiple income sources so they looked at all those all of the unofficial documents and they said okay if you're making this much money we can lend to you however this is just the pre-screening so now what you need to do is you need to get all of we need all this information on official documents so rather than me printing out something from patreon that said I made X much money last year I had to instead go to the City office and go to like the tax branch of the City office and have them print out a form that said Dogon paid this much money in taxes last year because he reported this much money on his income statement or whatever so you again this is why you have to make sure that you're on top of your taxes anywhere obviously but especially in Japan because you need to get that directly from the City office and it's all based on how much money you reported the previous year this is so they look at from what I my understanding is that they look at two at least the previous two years so and I had again had records for all of that because I had been doing it properly and yeah just make sure that you do that as soon as possible like you don't want to get behind at all because any time if you get one year behind it's gonna delay the entire process and you if you end up finding a property that you like and you find out oh well actually I need at least two years worth of receipts and like tax receipts and stuff like that from the City office then that's gonna hurt so make sure that you're on top of that from the get-go okay so we got all of those forms from the city office I also had to make obviously all foreigners in Japan that have been here for more than like I don't know a month or whatever probably six months or so that work in Japan for even a little bit make income your official seals stamps yeah so I had to make a new one and get it registered with the City office so when you buy something big in Japan like a house or a condo or I imagine maybe some like really expensive cars or maybe like boats or something like that you often have to use an officially registered income so I made a new income as well for me and my wife and we got those registered at the city office and that was the inspiration for that video I did about every time I go to the city office because I must have written my address and my name and my phone number yeah literally like about 20 times just to get like four different papers but anyways I digress so we got all the the official documents after the bank had already given us approval from the pre-screening on the unofficial documents and we submitted it to the bank all the new documents all the official stuff and a week later they got back to us and they said okay you've been approved so the next thing that happens is you need to put down your I need to talk about this as well so because I've only made I've been doing YouTube for a very long time since 2006 actually but I've only been making any well I started again essentially regularly in 2016 I believe and I've only been making any significant amount of money off of youtube really in like the past year and a half so they were looking at the amount of money that I made last year and the year before so the year before that my only income I was like 1,000 dollars total off of everything online plus my income at the Japanese educational institution that I work at and so this previous year it was much different because I made a significant amount of money more significant amount of money on my online endeavors yeah so I had that and my again the educational institution in Japan so two income sources but because I had only had the the income from the online activities it wasn't stable the bank was kind of like well this is kind of iffy like the amount of money is good like you're on a good track but this you know this is gonna be a 35-year loan so even if you made it a good amount of money this previous year then that's not good for us so one of the things that happened during the negotiating ago she ation process but during the application process is I asked is there anything that I can do to make it more likely that I can be that I'll be approved for the loan and they said yes well you're already married to a Japanese national but on top of that if you put down a substantial amount of money from the get-go so I figured what the term it you know my monkey I think yeah autumn looking in Japanese it's like the down payment I guess on the house on the property so our on the condominium so they said the more money that you can put down on the down payment the more likely it is that you'll pass the application process because at the very least it means that you or you're at least a little bit frugal and that you've been saving money so again I can't put give too many too many exact details but I will say that we put down let's say approximately 10% of the total value of the property so again if you think it's the in the ballpark of the average American property multiply that by 10 percent point one and that's about how much money I put down in cash so that helped a lot during the application process so one yet one of the other things that kind of wants to talk about is if you do ever think that you're going to be living in Japan try and be thrifty I've been I mean you guys know I I don't buy new clothes I wear the same clothes all the time use the same background I don't have any expenses when it comes to like you know going out and exploring and I hardly I drink maybe like once a year I don't really go out to party or anything like that I live rather modestly I like to think I do anyways I bought like my camera my lens my tripod all this stuff basically used because because you can and you can save money so I've been trying to do that for a very long time because again I've had that end goal of buying a property in Japan so and I knew that probably the more money I could spend on that down pit the more money yeah the more money I could put on the town payment the more likely I'd be approved it would be that I'd be approved so I've been saving my money and living modestly in my eyes for no since graduating from college essentially so which is about 10 years ago so not quite 10 years ago but almost 10 years ago so yeah that's a good another point to cover and yeah so we put down 10% and we got approved and I brought the money in cash to the bank and then we had you have to like sit down with with someone that's kind of like a lawyer how am i doing on time I'm expecting a phone call from another company that's cleaning the place right now someone like the the laundry area and has some weird smell so I might have to pick up my phone during this how far we do it on time 25 minutes okay okay so good I'm surprised I haven't stopped recording and tried starting again from the beginning so far anyways I need to stop going on these tangents put down the money when you go to for the official getting the keys there's like a lawyer there and they give you like some forms that say okay this is like you own the property now and you have to do another like 15 or 20 thing papers and write your name and address and phone number to stuff like that but um again I'd like to what's the right term I forget how you say this in English but I want to give another shout out to me home Citibank Nishi boom City King Cole and that's because they were awesome the whole entire time like I on my channel a lot I there's a lot of jokes where I talk about I kind of poke fun at how some things in Japan are kind of weird like maybe a little bit backwards and stuff like that but they had to do a bunch of extra work because I was a foreigner so like they had to do all this research on you know like American taxes and stuff like that and Americans have like you have to given them your social security number because the American government is like really really strict when it comes to like taxes and owning assets overseas and stuff like that so yeah they really put in the time and effort so yeah another shout-out to nice Nihon Citibank they were awesome from the very beginning to the very end and it despite all the extra work that they did on my behalf so thank you again to them and then I got the keys then I came back and I made the video that you saw the other day okay so that was the basic process now what I'm going to do is I'm going to talk about some additional things that I think that you guys would probably be interested in when it comes to buying a property in Japan okay I've just got kind of a bunch of no it's an arbitrary order I didn't really have time to sort these because again we're in the middle of moving right now you guys can't see right now but there's cardboard boxes all over this room okay the first thing the sales tax in Japan right now so he's at is 8 percent and that applies to properties houses property houses condominiums as well but it's about to go up to ten percent and I think that if you buy in I think that it gets implemented early next year March I want to say like March or April 2019 and again that would be if let's say you buy buying a house that's a hundred thousand dollars again an arbitrary number that's the difference between $8,000 and $10,000 you know just on on the taxes that you have to to pay and when you take into account that you're going to be you know pain that that difference with interest that small difference 2% is massive in the long run so if you're thinking about buying in Japan right now and you're watching this video right now and you're in a position where you can buy in Japan right now do it because the again the rate is about to go up to 10% and that's gonna hurt a lot um so that's good to be aware if it's at 8% right now it's about to go up to 10% okay point number two this is pretty obvious but self-explanatory but you have to have a very very strong command of Japanese and I like to trash on n1 a lot because I think it's not practical really because it doesn't take into account speaking which I think is by far the most important thing when it comes to language but in terms of like not grammar I would say vocabulary terms advanced terms that you need to know when buying a house and one level is probably I don't think into would cut it even though in two is probably good for most working situations and because you're going to be talking about things like again like deductions on your tax return and stuff like that like housing deductions on your tax return like this kind of lingo in Japanese so either you need have like n1 from the get-go or like n2 and then put in a bunch of additional study study hours into just terms related to buying a house so I've been living in Japan again almost 10 years now so and I got in one a while ago so I didn't really need to do any more additional research I picked up a few more terms along the way but um another thing to keep in mind is that the banks want to have confidence and whoever they're going to be lending money to and even if you're a really intelligent person if you don't speak the language that they do it'll make you seem less intelligent than you actually are in most circumstances so not only do you need the language ability to get the loan to apply for the loan to understand what you're getting yourself into but to make it look like you're someone that can that is capable and has the means of paying it back and again the more professional that's what I'm looking for you look you know the thing that's gonna be beneficial for you from the beginning to the end and the bank is gonna look at that so and they told me multiple times throughout the process like it's so good that you understand this and we don't have to explain this to you so definitely be aware of that language very important ok check ok so I talked about okay okay the next time let's talk about is the benefits of living in rural Japan I'm gonna go on a little mini tangent here but I lived in Tokyo for one year I studied abroad in one of the main er major universities in Tokyo and I had a great time when I was in Tokyo for the most part got kind of burned out at the end but it was mostly because of like through the relations the relationship that I was in in my personal circumstances and not so much of a not because of Tokyo so to speak but um Tokyo is a great place to go for like one year maybe maybe two years but or for the person that has never really been to Japan and has an image of Japan if you go to Japan actually think Yokohama is better for that like the image of Japan but if you go to Japan and you want to go you know how did you go and change you see we on like all those places you know hit hit the bases it's the term I don't know umm Tokyo will be the place because you know it's what you see in all the movies and the anime and stuff like that but everything is more expensive in Tokyo and everything is more it wears on you in Tokyo like the the commute in Tokyo in the morning is it's hard and like if you're a woman there's a good chance that you'll I don't know if good chance is the right term but you hear all sorts of all sorts of horror stories about you know people that get like molested on the trains and stuff like that and like you can it's a good place to be for a year but you can live in Japan and get all the benefits of living in Japan like the great health care system and like the just the one of the things I love about Japan is the common sense of does the average citizen the average person that lives here is very very high so and that's basically goes for anywhere in Japan so if you're going to experience something that's comparable comparable to you know Tokyo in terms of standard of living at least but do it for our fraction of the cost and the only downside is that you know maybe you can't go out to like the the famous you know nightclubs if you're into that or like concerts and stuff like that every week or every month then yeah if that's like a must for you then Tokyo is good but for I would think if you want to live in Japan for a long time Tokyo is it's depends on the individual but it's it's not for me and I think that a lot of people who are interested in Japan should live in Tokyo for a year and then go somewhere else and so not only can you save a lot of money if you move out of Japan but also you can experience other parts of Japan and also it's a lot more calm and not as hectic so I really recommend living in a location that's about an hour away by 30 minutes to an hour away by train from one of the major cities so I don't recommend living in like Yokohama or Nagoya or Osaka or Colby or Hiroshima or woke up but I recommend living in like thirty minutes away from one of those cities because sorry my kids my twins might be crying maybe not okay if you can get there in 30 minutes you can go to all the major like you know concerts and stuff like that and you can have like go to Costco when you need to and stuff like that but again it's so much cheaper to live like 30 minutes away then if you live in like the heart of one of those cities like Tokyo the apartment that I live in right now if it was in Tokyo it would be probably $2,000 a month no joke and it's seven hundred and fifty dollars here in Boyde ah super Anaka but I love the city that I live in right now I don't intend on ever moving obviously because I just bought a house here but um yeah that's a little tangent consider rural Japan you'll save money it's it's still Japan and it's still just as convenient except for maybe rare instances like me out getting concerts okay done okay bye soon for taxes we talked about that and also I definitely don't want to say get married as soon as possible if you want to buy in Japan but again one of the things that banks look at is have you been married for at least three years to a Japanese national so if you consider if you know that you're going to get married to someone in Japan you know near married to a Japanese national if you're positive that you're going to do that and you're also positive that you want to live in Japan for at least 30 or 40 years then it might be good to get married six months earlier or a year earlier than what you originally intended because it'll make it you'll be able to apply and you'll be able to get a loan in Japan that much sooner another good thing to keep in mind okay next thing interest rate so a lot of people said 35 years are you crazy this is actually pretty normal and one of the reasons for this is because the interest rates in Japan right now are crazy crazy crazy low and so I forget what they are in the states I just remember having a conversation with my parents when we were talking about the interest rates and I have a floating rate loan right now and it's I think 0.85 percent so I can get higher interest on that unlike an online savings account through like Goldman Sachs or something like that so 35 years three five years in Japan is not only pretty normal but the interest rates are crazy low to begin with so that's why that's why 35 years or so is normal because the amount that you're paying back just to the interest each month is pretty low to begin with so I'm already paying like 3/4 of each of my payments was directly into the principal so the value of the the property itself so that's another good thing to keep in mind interest rates in Japan right now are crazy low so if you're an American the ideals I think I don't like to toot my own horn but I think if you're an American in Japan if you can get your income from the states you don't have to pay American taxes as long as you're in Japan for I think three hundred and fifty days a year and as long as your income isn't more than a hundred thousand dollars so you don't to pay any American taxes but the interest the exchange rate will work in your favor and you can still maintain connections with American banks that offer much higher interest rates on their own on their savings accounts or even something like you know like a high-yield dividend or something like that in the stock market you can make more money investing in the American market right now then you would be losing money through the your your mortgage in Japan because the rates are so low okay that was a little bit complicated I don't think I explained that properly but gotta move on because we're already forty minutes in and I'm expecting to call real soon so maybe I'll make another video if you guys have a lot of interest in that okay next thing I want to talk about is the home loan deduction so for those who don't know I don't mean to be it all Sony I don't want to like okay so I'm gonna explain what as a deduction is real quick for those who don't know so when you pay your taxes at the end of the year and the government says okay you need to pay five thousand dollars to the government a deduction is it's a way to save part of that money not you don't have to pay all of that money so there's what's called a home loan deduction or a mortgage deduction maybe in the States I don't know what it's called in the States but if you buy a house in Japan and you still have you're still paying that money back you haven't paid all of that money yet then you can apply for a home loan deduction so if I have to pay $5,000 to the governor in Japan again arbitrary number maybe I only have to pay 4000 dollars depending on the amount of money that I have left on my home loan so I can't really again go into too many specifics but this is this is very big for people that are interested so the way that it works like an arbitrary number let's say that you're gonna spend a hundred thousand dollars on a home so you take a hundred thousand and you don't put any money into the down payment so you you're you get a loan of $100,000 you can deduct one percent of all the money that's left on your loan from your tax payment at the end of the year so one percent of a hundred thousand dollars is a thousand dollars so if again I had to pay five thousand dollars to the to the Japanese government at the end of the year because I'm in the process of painting back my house as opposed to renting an apartment then I can direct I can directly take off that one thousand dollars from my end of the year tax statement and that's because my my loan was more than a hundred thousand dollars that means the one percent of the loan that I took out was a significant amount of money that I don't need to pay off to I don't need to pay to the Japanese government this year so and it's actually almost I'll get more into the details probably later if I have time but the deduction in most cases is going to be the largest deduction that you can get on your tax return at the end of the year so again if you're gonna if you're going to buy a house in Japan there's a good chance that you'll actually save money for like the the first maybe year or two because it's calculated based on the remaining amount of in total money that you have to pay off so if I've already paid off fifty thousand dollars and I 50 thousand dollars left then I would only have five hundred dollars that I can and you can only use that home deduction for ten years but the first year of that 10 year period when you still have all of your loan and remaining that's going to be a significant amount of money that you don't need to pay to the Japanese government so that not that you don't need to pay that you can just save and maybe reinvest back in the States and get more that interest money back that's going to be higher than the interest that you're paying to the banks or to the against your loan in Japan so definitely be aware of the home loan deduction in Japan it's huge you'll save a ton of money just from that loan okay yeah and 35 years is normal okay and yeah I talked about this earlier but the last note on my things that I want to talk about was that the real estate agent found a bank for us that would lend to a foreigner in Japan that did not have permanent residents because it was in their interest because they were trying to sell the property as well so that's another good thing to be aware of many times if you seem like a respectable person that might have the potential to pay for the price of the property again it's in their interest to help you do that because they'll be making a large Commission and selling the property to you so even if you're not super knowledgeable on the process of buying a house in Japan they're gonna try and meet you at least at least a little bit in the middle because they're gonna be making money doing so okay so right now we're 45 minutes in and I haven't answered any questions directly but I actually think that this is a good place to stop because I have about it looks like probably 30 or maybe 40 questions that I I got and I'm going to answer every single one of them but if I do that right now this video is going to end up being like an hour in like 20 minutes or so so I'm going to stop the video right here and I'm going to make another video where I just answer questions so yes this again was a very very strange video for me because I know never do impromptu English alone so I stuttered a lot and I was probably really weird and not Dogon ask but hope it wasn't too terrible and I hope that you guys are looking forward to the tour video and again if you have any more questions that I didn't answer in this video leave a comment and I'll be sure to include those in the upcoming video because it still gonna make up that separate video so still rambling here I'm going to cut the video here thanks for all the support honestly like you guys made this whole thing possible and I can't express my gratitude enough thank you are you outdoors I must see my thing da Guinea mas I call Gautham o he was calling I suppose
