NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Even though some of the stories in this video are more akin to a psychological horror film, I'd still recommend teaching English in Japan as a job. Both of us had our ups and downs, but it was worthwhile in the end. A big shoutout to Pete (Premiertwo) for revealing all in this video. Wishing him the best of luck over on his Twitch! 🍻 www.twitch.tv/premiertwo

my friend lived and worked in Japan for 10 years. The advice he gave me: "Japan is awesome if you dont have to work"
-
I think one of the things that Chris undersells the most about himself is that he seemed to be a genuinely excellent teacher. The fact that the kids liked him speaks volumes to his personality and affable nature. But of course, that's literally the most British thing one can do so of course he never crows about it.
-
"You smell like Dad" is single handedly the best thing I've ever heard all year. It's something straight out of a comedy skit
-
My mom taught school on US bases in Japan for many years. She was getting a tour of one of the local Japanese schools who had hired an American to teach the English class. An American from Georgia. So when she arrived, the teacher said "Say hello to Ms Nelson class". Entire class of little Japanese kids: "Hi y'all Ms Nelson". Must keep straight face, must keep straight face...

The pregnant lady sounds like she needed someone to care, and Pete just happened to be someone safe and kind. I've had a parent like that before who just needed a person there and interacting because the father could care less about the pregnancy.
-
He somehow managed to make these stories seem like the best and worst time ever at the same time.
-
Pete is an incredible storyteller, I can't normally sit and watch these kinds of shows for long periods but with him this video felt like 10 mins!
-
I have no idea why youtube recommended this channel to me, but this is one of the most entertaining 30 minutes I've spent on this platform. Really well done, gents. Subscribed.
-
Pete should start a youtube channel, seems he has many interesting stories!
-
I find Pete’s optimism throughout his string of bad jobs really admirable. It’s not easy doing a job day after day, let alone such ones.
-
As a teacher in the USA, I think EVERY teacher’s main sentiment about their own profession is regret. It’s a daily battle. 😅😂
-
I distracted the kids from doing the after school cleaning by playing with them and one of the teachers seriously lost his shit at me. Remember English teachers: Do NOT mess with cleaning time. It's up there with a religious ritual, and messing with it is blasphemy and sacrilege.
-
The editing is amazing. The JET teacher joke had me in stitches. Pete is such an amazing storyteller. The whole video is comedy goldmine.
-
The story about teaching the fetus is not a joke. I live in China, and you won't believe how early the mothers wanting to educate their children. There are actually materials and devices that you put on your belly so your unborn babies will hear and learn. Like Pete said: INSANE (and sad).
-
I won't lie, as someone who's not due to graduate (Undergrad) until they're 25, Pete saying how he's graduated late and still had this career is a massie comfort and inspiration to me!
-
I taught English for 5 years in Japan from 1999 - and I have so many crazy stories. It was terrible and wonderful all at the same time. I think you need to do it when you're young before you realize how crazy it is.
-
24:00 most incredible plot twist i've ever heard
-
Seriously this is the story of the first 5 years of an average immigrant in any country. Some are lucky or have the resources to skip it, but you could probably write the funniest/wtf book in the history if you just went around and gathered stories of people during their first years in a new country as a young adult.
-
It's difficult to believe you could have found a more endearing, interesting and all round good-guy than Pete to add to your friends on this channel - how do you do it Chris?!? I hope we get to see him often - his storytelling and attitude to life just lifts my spirits...
