TOKYO CAPSULE HOTEL TOUR IN JAPAN | Male vs Female Experience
Today we're giving you a Tokyo Capsule Hotel Tour! For our last night in Tokyo, we booked 2 pods in a super futuristic capsule hotel in the heart of Koreatown. This capsule hotel is called 9 Hours and it is part of a chain of capsule hotels found across Japan, so if you like the look of it, you can experience it across the country!
Capsule hotels in Japan used to be male only, and today there are some that are female-only, however, we stayed at one that welcomes both men and women. The only thing to note about staying in a capsule hotel is that there are separate floors for men and women, so if you're a couple, you'll be split on different levels.

TOKYO CAPSULE HOTEL TOUR IN JAPAN | Male vs Female Experience Travel Food Video Transcript:
One of our bucket list items in Japan was to spend a night in a capsule hotel. So before leaving Tokyo we booked a night at 9 hours. A futuristic capsule hotel that pretty much looks like a spaceship. This pod hotel is located by Shin-Okubo station right in the heart of Korea Town and in this video we're going to share the whole experience with you guys.
We are just waiting for the elevator now. The reception is surprisingly on the 8th floor not the first.
The check-in process was simple and straight forward. We were each given a card with a qr code which would act as our key for the duration of our stay.
We checked out the views of our neighborhood and also learned that the capsules for men and women are on separate floors.
This is the part where Sam and I have to go our separate ways. Different floors for men and women. So I'm on the 6th floor and I'm on the 4th.
We'll each take our own camera and show you are own experience. Indeed. And we'll meet back here in a bit.
I went up to the 6th floor to find my locker and store my belongings. All of the lockers have an overnight kit to make each guest stay at the capsule hotel a little more comfortable. A look inside the bag coming up soon.
I also discovered that my suitcase was a little too plump for my locker so some pushing and prodding ensued.
And inside I had this little bag already waiting for me. It looks like we have a towel, some slippers and PJs. It looks like we have slippers with the 9 hours logo. We have a towel.
We've got some pajamas to put on. This is going to be fun.
Oh okay toothpaste. Toothbrush. That is our kit for spending the night at a capsule hotel. Let's actually go check out my capsule. Before going into the dorm with all of the capsules we have to take off our shoes and put on slippers.
The Spaceship.
Even though it was the middle of the afternoon I was ready to explore my pod. First up a little stretch test to see just how much space there is in one of these capsules.
Stretch Test.
Not bad. I definitely didn't feel claustrophobic in there so that is a good start.
It is time for final thoughts on our first and only capsule hotel experience. Yeah.
What did you think? How was your night?
We were sleeping in different areas. I had a great sleep. I went to be about 11 pm woke up at five and I slept continuously.
Overall I would recommend staying in a capsule hotel but I think just for one night. Yes. I don't think you'd want to be in there for multiple nights.
I would agree. I would want to experience it once here in Japan but I don't need to sleep in a capsule for a week or a month. Book a hotel or an apartment or something else.
So yeah that is it for now we'll see you guys in the next video. Bye.
This is part of our Travel in Japan video series showcasing Japanese food, Japanese culture and Japanese experiences.

Gard Bridge, Vers-Pont-du-Gard, Gard, Languedoc-Roussillon, France, Europe
The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct bridge that crosses the Gardon River, from which it takes its name. It is located in Vers-Pont-du-Gard near Remoulins, in the Gard département of southern France. The bridge is part of the Nîmes aqueduct, a 50 km-long (31 mi) structure built by the Romans to carry water from a spring at Uzès to the Roman colony of Nemausus (Nîmes). Because the terrain between the two points is hilly, the aqueduct built mostly underground took a long, winding route that crossed the gorge of the Gardon, requiring the construction of an aqueduct bridge. Built in the 1st century AD, the Pont du Gard is the highest of all Roman aqueduct bridges and is, with the Aqueduct of Segovia, one of the best preserved. It was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 because of its historical importance. The bridge has three tiers of arches, standing 48.8 m (160 ft) high. The whole aqueduct descends in height by only 17 m (56 ft) over its entire length, while the bridge descends by a mere 2.5 cm (0.98 in) a gradient of only 1 in 3,000 which is indicative of the great precision that Roman engineers were able to achieve using only simple technology. The aqueduct formerly carried an estimated 200,000 m3 (44,000,000 imp gal) of water a day to the fountains, baths and homes of the citizens of Nîmes. It continued to be used possibly until the 6th century, with some parts used for significantly longer, but lack of maintenance after the 4th century meant that it became increasingly clogged by mineral deposits and debris that eventually choked off the flow of water. After the collapse of the Roman Empire and the aqueduct's fall into disuse, the Pont du Gard remained largely intact due to the importance of its secondary function as a toll bridge. For centuries the local lords and bishops were responsible for its upkeep in exchange for the right to levy tolls on travellers using it to cross the river, although some of its stones were looted and serious damage was inflicted on it in the 17th century. It attracted increasing attention starting in the 18th century and became an important tourist destination. It underwent a series of renovations between the 18th and 21st centuries, commissioned by the local authorities and the French state, that culminated in 2000 with the opening of a new visitor centre and the removal of traffic and buildings from the bridge and the area immediately around it. Today it is one of France's most popular tourist attractions and has attracted the attention of a succession of literary and artistic visitors.
Portuguese back to Angola - Straight through Africa
Bram Vermeulen is in Angola, one of the fastest growing economies in the world. In this former Portuguese colony, so much money is being earned that the Portuguese are fleeing the crisis in their own country to seek their luck in Angola.
Portugal sighs under towering unemployment, but in the meantime the economy of Angola - where people speak Portuguese - grows like cabbage. Many Portuguese people therefore come to the African country in recent years to work there. Among these guest workers are so-called 'retornados' - people of Portuguese origin who fled the country in haste around 1975 and now find a radically different Angola than they had left behind at the time.
Not everyone fled. Bram visits an old woman who saw her farm destroyed three times in the civil war. He has always been rebuilt. Her younger sister-in-law grew up here, but fled to Portugal in 1976. Only very brave people stayed here in the jungle. Young people, like my cousins and I, went away. The war was very violent, she says, and furthermore, further study in Angola has become impossible.
It was not really quiet in the years before, because that war started as a twelve-year struggle for independence. After independence, the violence went seamlessly into a 30-year civil war. This has been over since 2002 and the economy has ended up in a grove. There are now rich Angolans, such as the young woman who visits Bram in her huge house in Luanda. A Portuguese designer is busy perfecting the interior.
welcome
The guest workers are very welcome here, she says, because they come to work and create new jobs because of the knowledge they bring. She is optimistic about the new Angola. In the practice of the less wealthy, such as Fundulu the fixer, there is still a lot to improve. Flowing water in the house would be nice, and reliable electricity. He tells this while he maneuvers a car through the chaotic traffic in Luanda. A less patient person could also jump out of his skin. Bram would not be able to save it here, he thinks.
The Portuguese designer also had some trouble with things like this at first. He noticed the enormous gap between rich and poor. But it does have advantages for his work: his customers are so rich that he can fully enjoy himself in the interior design.
The reconstruction of Angola is largely carried out by foreign companies. Not only in Luanda, but also in the city of Kuito, in the middle of the country. Immediately after the war there were only ruins there, says the mayor. A ghost town, with parks full of graves. The dead are now gone and new housing blocks are building up. Partly built by Portuguese contractors, who can not find any jobs in their own country.
Episode 8. The lost paradise
Bram Vermeulen visits Angola, one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Business is booming in this former colony of Portugal, so that many Portuguese flee the crisis in their own country to seek their fortune in Angola.
