Not Good at My Job, but Trying to Work Smarter — Japan Vlog 🇯🇵

A full Sunday on the road: 9.5 hours, 111km (69mi), and ¥25,069 ($154.80) with the trip bonus. But the real story was in my head. I watched videos of higher-earning riders and realized they don't just chase pay per trip, they pick areas that actually get orders. My area is quiet, so it may not fit me, but I started thinking through my routes for the first time instead of running on pure instinct. The day had its detours too: a 3am stomachache from zinc I took wrong, a potato salad sandwich my wife cleverly made, a mini Chinatown of Koreatown yakiniku shops, a Super Cub my wife still won't let me buy, and the quiet challenge of keeping a smile all day. Dinner was slow-simmered beef cartilage curry, tender to the bone. 🛵 A long Sunday, honest numbers, and the day I started thinking like a smarter rider. ☕ If you'd like to support the channel 👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/kazuinjapan ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 ⚖️ Morning weigh-in 0:15 🥗 A potato salad sandwich 0:49 💊 A zinc stomachache 1:39 🛵 First pickups 2:55 💰 First result, and a plan 3:27 🤔 The McDonald's bag I overthought 4:10 📈 What top riders do differently 6:16 🍙 A ¥200 ($1.20) lunch 8:18 ⛩️ A traffic-safety shrine 11:51 🥩 Koreatown yakiniku 12:42 ☕ A quick break 14:13 📸 Thumbnail detour, 93% on-time 14:40 🛵 The Super Cub talk 16:46 🛂 The passport center 20:26 😊 Keeping a smile is hard 22:10 📊 Today's total 23:20 🍛 Beef cartilage curry dinner #japan #japanvlog #delivery #japanlife
