@@Ellbat aww that's fantastic. It would be hard if I would share my room whith my brother or not.

"they love giving me bread here" one time when I was living in korea i was eating japanese food in a food court and a korean woman came up to me and was like "you're american! why are you eating rice? I didnt know americans ate rice" and i said "actually my mom is mexican and my dad is nigerian and their cultures both eat a lot of rice" and she was just like "no americans only eat bread!" and then she walked away and idk thats what you made me think of haha
lol it happens, its kind of an american/white ppl stereotype. not that long ago i went to a liquor store and the asian employee immediately was like "the white claw is over there" i thought it was adorable
@@destineem6490 weird. I thought the rest of the world would think Americans eat nothing but fast food especially with the rise in obesity . I know that's the only stereotype I ever hear, at least here in Canada , about Americans and food is they deep fry everything and eat too much McDonalds .
@@kitty79532 it is also definitely a stereotype as well but very true. Basically anything unhealthy we’re known for 😂😂 lots of carbs and fast food and beer 😬😬
My aunt from China observation about Americans is they love eating with their hands, hamburger french fries, fried chicken sandwiches, rolls, ice cream cones, pizza,. Oh I see that. When usually they eat from a bowl.. rice soup noodles...
I'm so glad that your sister has such a wonderful and loving family during this time and that you are able to be there to support her through such a life changing event. So much love to you both ❤️💛💚💜💙
I have never seen such extreme and conflicting emotions over food in such quick succession! BTW I vote neither cheese nor custards, it's something else.
I'm currently on day 6 of 14 days in a mandatory isolation hotel in New Zealand! This has made me feel so grateful that I'm able to book time for walks outside every day, even if they are in a carpark.
I honestly don't think I could go this long without seeing anyone, you're amazing for doing this for your sister, also I hope she's okay Im wishing her all the best!
I've been alone here for about 2 yrs since I have chronic illnesses n covid really did make it horrible for us spoonies. can't even go for drives since I developed epilepsy during this too :/ no one understans how hard covid is n life for us spoonies. Thank you for acknowledging us who have been isolated this entire time

I was recently quarantined with COVID. I'm an introvert, but even I got lonely. I called people every day when I could stand to talk. Going through quarantine while actively very ill was quite difficult. I did get some human interaction when I passed by my roommates, distanced and masked on my way to the bathroom. I got even more when I went to the hospital, but luckily I didn't have to stay too long. The first thing I did when I was no longer contagious was walk to the grocery store, but it took me about an hour to get ready. I kept changing my clothes. I had so much anxiety about walking through the door. I knew I wasn't contagious anymore, but I still felt like a walking bomb. I live by a university campus, and before I went into quarantine, classes were not in session. When I came out of it, tens of thousands of students were there. My social anxiety was at an all-time high. I've only been out once since then, but it was easier. Anyways. I just wanted to thank you for commending those who had indefinite quarantines. Mine was difficult to say the least, and I'm still readjusting. Everyone was so worried about me having COVID that they didn't even think about the difficulties of social isolation for me, so hearing someone call me an incredible human being for getting through it made me tear up.
I can understand why the Korean government is doing this, I don't blame them and yet I can't get over the discomfort it makes me feel at the same time. Anyway hope you and sis are doing well.
I'm so proud of your sister for her incredible bravery to come out and start her transition! It's a really big deal and I'm so happy that you are so supportive to her in such an important time. Thank you for being a good sister to her ❤️

Aww, so nice you got to have a vacationtine. Bet it was good seeing a different four walls for a fortnight! I haven't decided which hotel room I'm going to visit for my next holiday. Maybe I'll go sightseeing. Assuming there are any sights to see from the hotel window of course.
Every time I go on vaccation or something, I write down EVERYTHING I'm taking with me, so when I'm leaving, I can cross out everything that I put in my bag and see if anythings missing.
It’s like a mandatory really shitty staycation. I’d just read all the books and catch-up on my shows. Haven’t had more than 1 night to myself in years.
"and that's what happens when you're told you're gifted and talented growing up" Truer words have never been spoken my friend, and Gifted-ADHD is an entirely different game.
This came up as a suggested video for me. I am on day 6 of 14 in manditory isolation in Australia, its rough 😅. I really feel for you not being able to have a window open, I would really hate not having some fresh air. It's so intrestiing seeing the slight diffrences between yourself and I hotels and experinces, my dinner time is 5:30pm! 😂 Good luck on the rest of your quarantine experince, you can do it!
I am 90%++ introvert. Put me in a room, feed me food, and let me have my stuff, tv, netflix (and other streaming services), ps5, nintendo switch, pc etc. just all my hobby stuff. And I could be there for 2-3 weeks and not really feel that alone.
How fantastic that you are there for each other, forget any outside noise, none of it matters. You have lots of support on here so keep us all close and before you know it you be out giving your sister big hugs.
@@douglascampbell9809 yeah two of my trips out the house were to be vaccinated haha the other was to pick up my new glasses that i don't need because i don't go anywhere where i need to see further than 10 ft 😂
idk, as an introvert i feel like itll be hell. humans are social creatures, they need interaction with some sort of person or living being to stay sane, it doesnt matter if theyre antisocial or not.
thank you so much for this video - its really fascinating to see what the government quarantines are like. also i would hate not being able to pick any of my meals for 14 days so i cannot imagine what a nightmare this would be for me! looking forward to part 2!
At first i found the start difficult to watch, but i'm glad you managed to start making the best of a tough situation. Much love and best wishes to you & your sister for enduring the quarantine process and the best wishes for her surgery.
Lol is it weird that I’m enjoying watching you locked in a room? Just happy for the extra content 😅 Well done for supporting your sis. Also need to stop calling yourself stupid you’re clearly not! Also bringing back memories of me locked in a room at my parents house on wave one... yoga was key to not loosing my sh*t so hope that helps you too!
All the best wishes to your sister! You're wonderful for supporting her through this huge change in her life and I promise you she is grateful for it. All the love from this enby!
That can’t have been easy I definitely would have gone batshit crazy especially with those announcements alone, I wish your sister all the best and happiness and luck with the next step in her transition! ❤️ Edit: They really should supply a card detailing what they are forcing down your gullet
It is interesting seeing the quarantines in different countries. New Zealand's looks much nicer with choosing meals and walks outside. I would 100% prefer sharing a room with one of my siblings though, I get far too depressed alone and I think we would have a good time.
I only would have an issue with 14 quarantine thing is the inability to control the things that they feed you. People with dietary restrictions and limits can be an problem.
I'm currently watching this sitting on my hospital bed after surgery not being able to walk by myself and I can't have anyone visiting for longer than 1 hour a day because of covid.... so watching this was actually very comforting :( thank you ellbat!
For an indeterminate amount of time before lockdown, my depression and anxiety had put me into my own lockdown and I was just about figuring my way out of it when the coronavirus lockdown happened. So for me, the lockdown you experienced in this video for two weeks has been going on for at least two years. As well as having no concept of time any more, I’m not even sure what sanity is any more either. Glad you made it through what I *know* is a stifling experience 🤗
That intro brought me to tears. Thank you for being such a fantastic sister by doing this for her so you can be by your side. Thank you as well for bringing attention to how hard it is for us to access healthcare, it’s absolutely criminal
(in reference to "can you imagine staying in the same room as your sibling for two weeks") I remember when Texas had it's ice-pocalypse earlier this year, most of our friend group had no power or water. But one of us did so we piled 9 people into a one bedroom apartment for nearly 2 weeks(the water got shut off about half way through so that sucked). It was rough but now four of us live together soooo.
Honestly, being literally not allowed to leave a room and see other people sounds lovely, and you also get 3 meals delivered right at your doorstep?! Heaven
I’ve watched this series whilst high and it was super calming and relaxing for some reason lol. These are definitely the videos I come back to often just for the pure comfort✨
"And thats what happens when you're told you're gifted and talented growing up" 9:12 - I'll tell you, that hit a little closer to home than I would like it to😅
I'm really happy that your sister not only will have her important surgery (even if it was delayed), but also because she has people in her life that are THIS supportive ♡
I have schizoid personality disorder so living in isolation is pretty much how I want it to be, I never feel lonely like others but this still felt the tiniest bit claustrophobic because I at least go for walks outside and I value my independence. The announcements are what really gets me though I would probably flip out just because of that.
I had COVID for 28 days and then I had to stay away from people for 14 more days. That's 42 days. My lifesaver was my cat, Dusty. He kept me sane. COVID zapped my energy and most of the time I had a low-grade fever. So for the 28 days, I lost all sense of time or what day it was. Dusty made sure I ate and because he's a creature of habit he made sure that I showered most days. The two weeks while I was healthy and waiting to leave I looked out the peephole whenever I heard movement in the hall. Grocery deliveries were also a highlight for me. I had it easy I was at least at home. Being in a hotel room without my cat I wouldn't have lasted a week. Well done.
Them announcements would drive the most patient of people into temporary insanity. I remember I went to this camp for young people one summer and they had the same set up where at 9pm and 7am they would blast these “go to sleep” and “wake up” announcements, I wanted to dismantle them after 3 days there, NEVER MIND 14 DAYS!!! you’re very strong!
I've been alone for 3 years now. With people ignoring messages etc....trying to find people to talk to etc...yes it's only 2 weeks for you but my best advice is accept lonliness to its fullest. Think about being alone as having a superpower. You can grow a lot both in terms of mental resillance and as a person, it just takes time.
I can relate, i spent 23 days pretty much isolated in a hospital without seeing anyone except for 1 nurse a day in the morning. Not quite the same extent as you but very relatable!
Videos like this make me glad Im an introvert and gamer, I can absolutely go 2 weeks in isolation as long as I have my laptop and some miniatures and paint.
Since corona started I've been living alone, not going out and I see people maybe once a month. Seeing you is like a flashback of my first weeks here. Now I don't like people anymore and I get reeeeally stressed just on the idea of going out so... that's that.
I don’t know about hotels in other parts of the world, but in the US a room with a shared door actually has two doors. So even if you opened your door, you’d meet another door, that cannot be opened from your side. The hotel you’re in looks fairly new so I think it has double doors.
last november I was put into quarantine on my college campus (and halfway through tested positive for covid), and it was one of the hardest experiences of my life, the monotony and lack of comfort was so hard. I lost my mind a little! quarantine is so, so hard.
"And that's what happens when you're told you're gifted and talented growing up" Oh my God. Yes!!! No matter what I do, I always have the feeling that I need to be extraordinarily great at it. This results in frustration and me not practicing because I feel that I'm too bad... which leads to no progress. Therefore, even if I want to learn something, I never put enough time and effort into it because I always think that I should magically be able to do everything perfectly - which is, of course, the most unrealistic expectation you could have for yourself.
What's more boring than quarantine, is watching someone go through quarantine. It's so boring that it's entertaining, which is a compliment. Love your videos!
Wow, this seems like it was really hard, I can’t imagine. Obviously quarantine is necessary with the pandemic, but still! I feel like they should’ve put more pictures on the walls at least! That said, there are few better reasons to have to deal with something like this. I wish your sister the best of luck with her surgery and recovery; I hope it’s speedy and that she loves her result 😊💕
@@eliys5982 you do realize that people over 80 are still people worthy of respect, right? They’re not just throwaways of society, they’re people who deserve to be considered and to have their health prioritized. Like, what are you saying??? lmao
@@Eowyn126 he's saying that those who feel are at risk should voluntarily quarantine themselves. Quarantining healthy people? Taking away all rights and body autonomy is a good thing in your mind? Are you insane?
It's interesting seeing both sides of that quarantine. I've watched a foreigner who lives in South Korea and was tested positive for covid, so an ambulance brought him to that same hotel, no info was given, they just asked him to bring a 14-day suitcase. He was so thankfull that the government was taking care of him, he was actually happy being there.
I'm a super introvert and can go weeks whitout direct contact. Often i prefer to just play online with Friends~. But the first Covid-wave was tough. I find, it is one thing to decide that I don't want to meet anyone. But not being allowed to meet someone when you really needed someone was incredibly hard xx. And may I say how great I think it is that you are doing this for your sister? As someone who comes from a broken family, where there has never been any cohesion, I can only say to anyone who has, enjoy this and hold on tight >
Okay can I just take a minute to say that thing you said about the gifted and talented kids around 9 minutes is actually me I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling that way
I've been out of MIQ in Auckland NZ for a week now and even though we have some of the highest rated quarantine facilities in the world its still exactly how you said 'soulless'. I have never had so much anxiety in my life, its not something I usually struggle with and even being back in my own home now I haven't been able to settle, its pretty awful haha. It's tougher than you think it will be guys, wishing everyone who has done or will be doing this the best
i don’t mean to pry but, might i ask what you’re up to quarantined in auckland ? i’ve seen heaps of comment of people being in NZ. as a kiwi we don’t usually get talked about lmao, was there some kind of event happening around this time ?
My grandparents had to hotel quarantine when coming back from New Zealand to Aus and they loved it haha… nice hotel in the city, and they constantly had family members sending them wine, cheeses, baked goods etc.
Just for your piece of mind: the adjoined rooms are usually separated by 2 doors - one on your side and one on the other. Basically you can open your door but not the other.
rly enjoyed this Elbat and gave me smthn 2 focus on whilst my insides were burning. my body really rejected smthn I ate whilst watching the 1st half of this vid (I took a break halfway throug to vomit OFC)-feeling better noww. cant make this stuff up
Wow, hope your sister is doing well, so glad of your support for her 😊 I think the Koreans have the right idea with this quarantine, everywhere should be doing it regardless, stricter rules means more control of the spread. Glad you're not going insane in there 😊💕🦋
We have it in Australia, and here in Sydney we have been in lockdown since the end of June, and the numbers aren’t decreasing. People would often illegally visit those in hotel quarantine, or security guards would get COVID from the hotels
It's not boring! Your very presence is enjoyable (I was going to say entertaining but that sounds mean?) and you are keeping me entertained while I clean the kitchen x
I went through South Korean quarantine, too! My room mate and I got to stay at our apartment luckily but those 14 days very awful really. Apart from the food issue (because you need a verified phone number and/or korean bank account for everything) being together was super exhausting: for my room mate because she's super extroverted and needs to talk to different people, and for me because I'm introverted and constantly having someone around me really was draining.
Oh, I just watched the video, and now my earlier comment feels really flippant... erm... sorry EB. Fair play to you for being a huge, supportive legend. Hope your sister is doing OK, too.
The thought of government provided food really scares me. I'm coeliac and if I was stuck in a room for 14 days with no choice or power over what I ate and they accidentally put gluten in my food. Oh boy would that suck! The hotel wouldn't have much toilet paper left by the time my 14 days was up 😂😭 I would pack all of the snacks as a back-up!! Also, I hope your sister is recovering well, and that you're both happy and safe, lots of love from Australia
well 14 days would be me finally watching dragon ball start to finish, watching lord of the ring without falling asleep and watching walking dead for the first time
Watching through all of One Piece almost in those two weeks would be possible. I'm extremely introverted and don't feel loneliness like others so I've thrived while others have suffered these past two years.
This was super interesting to watch! Hope you're almost done with your quarantine (sorry you may have said what day you get out, but I did forget!) Take care x
I really appreciated this video. I was fascinated from start to finish. How other countries are handling visitors, quarantine etc. Is very interesting. Thank you for bringing us along. 🙏🏻💕
I had to quarantine for two weeks when I went back to Canada in June, but because I didn't fly, I got to use my son's studio apartment because he was out of town. People flying into the country were required to quarantine for the first three days in a government approved hotel and then complete quarantine in a home where they could continue to self isolate for the remaining eleven days. Longest two weeks of my LIFE. Yes, I'm vaccinated. Yes, I had submitted a negative PCR test at the border. And took an additional test as I crossed. And took a third test on day eight. We have to stay safe and yes, I've never been so bored in my life.
Oh god I would’ve gone crazy. I get really bad cabin fever (like I get nauseous and headachy) if I stay inside for even a day. And I get depressed if I’m in the same place for a long time. Sleep and going outside are the only things that help. I’m so grateful that I’ve been working through the whole of COVID and will continue to work (in person) as long as COVID is around.
Little bit of life advice if you’re stuck like this. Get a VR headset, seriously. Like the standalone Quest 2. Your sanity will be spared, cause you’ll actually be doing things and disassociate with reality after a few minutes of socializing with people online. It saved me, and saved a lot of strangers in this same or similar situations.
i was in a house by myself for 6 months during the first lockdown. i had a dog but yuh, you never get used to how quiet it is, i talked to myself so much just to have sound :,)
My sister recently came out as transgender to my family, I’ve known for a while but it was so much better than we expected. It’s been emotionally exhausting for us all, and hopefully she will be able to access healthcare that will change her life soon. But as you know the waiting times are so long on the NHS.

That’s big brain
It’s like a mandatory really shitty staycation.
I’d just read all the books and catch-up on my shows. Haven’t had more than 1 night to myself in years.
"and that's what happens when you're told you're gifted and talented growing up"
Truer words have never been spoken my friend, and Gifted-ADHD is an entirely different game.
This came up as a suggested video for me. I am on day 6 of 14 in manditory isolation in Australia, its rough 😅. I really feel for you not being able to have a window open, I would really hate not having some fresh air. It's so intrestiing seeing the slight diffrences between yourself and I hotels and experinces, my dinner time is 5:30pm! 😂 Good luck on the rest of your quarantine experince, you can do it!
Ah Im sorry to hear your locked in too!!!! You’ve got this, I believe in you!! Thank u ❤️❤️
I'm free!!!
I am 90%++ introvert. Put me in a room, feed me food, and let me have my stuff, tv, netflix (and other streaming services), ps5, nintendo switch, pc etc. just all my hobby stuff. And I could be there for 2-3 weeks and not really feel that alone.
That actually sounds like a lovely getaway. I'd love it, but I'm such an extreme introverted hermit, being absolutely alone sounds wonderful.
Same lol and they give u food
How fantastic that you are there for each other, forget any outside noise, none of it matters. You have lots of support on here so keep us all close and before you know it you be out giving your sister big hugs.
me, who hasn't left my house more than 3 times in the past year: "shit this looks so nice!" :]
Same. I've been outside I think maybe 5 times this year.
One of those was a Dr visit and 2 more were getting vaccinated.
@@douglascampbell9809 yeah two of my trips out the house were to be vaccinated haha the other was to pick up my new glasses that i don't need because i don't go anywhere where i need to see further than 10 ft 😂
Right? Like they bring you prepared food? And you don't have to pay delivery? I'm in.
idk, as an introvert i feel like itll be hell. humans are social creatures, they need interaction with some sort of person or living being to stay sane, it doesnt matter if theyre antisocial or not.
@@xoxo62477 lol, you realized she payed for everything.
thank you so much for this video - its really fascinating to see what the government quarantines are like. also i would hate not being able to pick any of my meals for 14 days so i cannot imagine what a nightmare this would be for me! looking forward to part 2!
At first i found the start difficult to watch, but i'm glad you managed to start making the best of a tough situation. Much love and best wishes to you & your sister for enduring the quarantine process and the best wishes for her surgery.
OMG, "gifted and talented" that's a blast from the past.
Lol is it weird that I’m enjoying watching you locked in a room? Just happy for the extra content 😅 Well done for supporting your sis. Also need to stop calling yourself stupid you’re clearly not! Also bringing back memories of me locked in a room at my parents house on wave one... yoga was key to not loosing my sh*t so hope that helps you too!
"oh it smells like cheese. oh i think it's custard!"
i am amused
Wow! What a loving and caring family you are. I love how you are supporting your sister during this life changing operation.
All the best wishes to your sister! You're wonderful for supporting her through this huge change in her life and I promise you she is grateful for it. All the love from this enby!
That can’t have been easy I definitely would have gone batshit crazy especially with those announcements alone, I wish your sister all the best and happiness and luck with the next step in her transition! ❤️
Edit: They really should supply a card detailing what they are forcing down your gullet
It is interesting seeing the quarantines in different countries. New Zealand's looks much nicer with choosing meals and walks outside. I would 100% prefer sharing a room with one of my siblings though, I get far too depressed alone and I think we would have a good time.
I only would have an issue with 14 quarantine thing is the inability to control the things that they feed you. People with dietary restrictions and limits can be an problem.
You can choose halal or vegetarian etc. Think there's 4 options
Elena: this video is so boring I'm sorry if you're watching
Me lovin' the whole vibe of the video 😍
Right?!? I can't remember which video hit my recommended here on RUclips but, ellbat has entertained me on every one I've seen. 🥰
I'm currently watching this sitting on my hospital bed after surgery not being able to walk by myself and I can't have anyone visiting for longer than 1 hour a day because of covid.... so watching this was actually very comforting :( thank you ellbat!
For an indeterminate amount of time before lockdown, my depression and anxiety had put me into my own lockdown and I was just about figuring my way out of it when the coronavirus lockdown happened. So for me, the lockdown you experienced in this video for two weeks has been going on for at least two years. As well as having no concept of time any more, I’m not even sure what sanity is any more either.
Glad you made it through what I *know* is a stifling experience 🤗
That intro brought me to tears. Thank you for being such a fantastic sister by doing this for her so you can be by your side.
Thank you as well for bringing attention to how hard it is for us to access healthcare, it’s absolutely criminal
(in reference to "can you imagine staying in the same room as your sibling for two weeks") I remember when Texas had it's ice-pocalypse earlier this year, most of our friend group had no power or water. But one of us did so we piled 9 people into a one bedroom apartment for nearly 2 weeks(the water got shut off about half way through so that sucked). It was rough but now four of us live together soooo.
Honestly, being literally not allowed to leave a room and see other people sounds lovely, and you also get 3 meals delivered right at your doorstep?! Heaven
i feel the same way
Lots of love to your sister! welcome to the community! Glad you guys can be there for each other like this!
I’ve watched this series whilst high and it was super calming and relaxing for some reason lol. These are definitely the videos I come back to often just for the pure comfort✨
So happy for your sister 💗 you’re so supportive and I love to see it
"And thats what happens when you're told you're gifted and talented growing up" 9:12 - I'll tell you, that hit a little closer to home than I would like it to😅
Oh my word! Ellbat's got some serious moves in her locker. Go girl!
I'm really happy that your sister not only will have her important surgery (even if it was delayed), but also because she has people in her life that are THIS supportive ♡
I have schizoid personality disorder so living in isolation is pretty much how I want it to be, I never feel lonely like others but this still felt the tiniest bit claustrophobic because I at least go for walks outside and I value my independence.
The announcements are what really gets me though I would probably flip out just because of that.
Run your hand accross the top of the door and door frame. This will tell you how long ago the room was completly wiped down.
I had COVID for 28 days and then I had to stay away from people for 14 more days. That's 42 days. My lifesaver was my cat, Dusty. He kept me sane. COVID zapped my energy and most of the time I had a low-grade fever. So for the 28 days, I lost all sense of time or what day it was. Dusty made sure I ate and because he's a creature of habit he made sure that I showered most days. The two weeks while I was healthy and waiting to leave I looked out the peephole whenever I heard movement in the hall. Grocery deliveries were also a highlight for me. I had it easy I was at least at home. Being in a hotel room without my cat I wouldn't have lasted a week. Well done.
You are the best sister any girl could ask for! XOXOXO Sending you guys support, love, and wishes for a speedy recovery from surgery!
WTF I had no idea how much I needed an Ellbat dance sequence in my life. How have you kept this skill from us for so long??
Them announcements would drive the most patient of people into temporary insanity. I remember I went to this camp for young people one summer and they had the same set up where at 9pm and 7am they would blast these “go to sleep” and “wake up” announcements, I wanted to dismantle them after 3 days there, NEVER MIND 14 DAYS!!! you’re very strong!
I've been alone for 3 years now. With people ignoring messages etc....trying to find people to talk to etc...yes it's only 2 weeks for you but my best advice is accept lonliness to its fullest. Think about being alone as having a superpower. You can grow a lot both in terms of mental resillance and as a person, it just takes time.
I can relate, i spent 23 days pretty much isolated in a hospital without seeing anyone except for 1 nurse a day in the morning. Not quite the same extent as you but very relatable!
32:00 it looks like some sort of pannacotta to me😅 and since it's sweet it makes sense lol
Videos like this make me glad Im an introvert and gamer, I can absolutely go 2 weeks in isolation as long as I have my laptop and some miniatures and paint.
Same give me internet and enough games to play and shit to read and I'm more than fine.
Why’s this so fun tho. My introverted self might just go to South Korea for this government facility
Once the mic turned on 😩 ellbat asmr when?
Would really enjoy it
I think you are awesome and your sister is lucky to have someone so supportive. I hope you are both doing great.
“Ooohhh… it’s a croissant” made me want to cry of happiness hahaha the little bit of joy in your tone is so adorable 🥐
Since corona started I've been living alone, not going out and I see people maybe once a month. Seeing you is like a flashback of my first weeks here. Now I don't like people anymore and I get reeeeally stressed just on the idea of going out so... that's that.
I don’t know about hotels in other parts of the world, but in the US a room with a shared door actually has two doors. So even if you opened your door, you’d meet another door, that cannot be opened from your side. The hotel you’re in looks fairly new so I think it has double doors.
last november I was put into quarantine on my college campus (and halfway through tested positive for covid), and it was one of the hardest experiences of my life, the monotony and lack of comfort was so hard. I lost my mind a little! quarantine is so, so hard.
"And that's what happens when you're told you're gifted and talented growing up"
Oh my God. Yes!!!
No matter what I do, I always have the feeling that I need to be extraordinarily great at it. This results in frustration and me not practicing because I feel that I'm too bad... which leads to no progress. Therefore, even if I want to learn something, I never put enough time and effort into it because I always think that I should magically be able to do everything perfectly - which is, of course, the most unrealistic expectation you could have for yourself.
I wish i had a family or atleast one family member like her. Life would be so so so much better
Congratulations to your sister! Wish her all the best on her journey 🌈💗
What's more boring than quarantine, is watching someone go through quarantine. It's so boring that it's entertaining, which is a compliment. Love your videos!
Wow, this seems like it was really hard, I can’t imagine. Obviously quarantine is necessary with the pandemic, but still! I feel like they should’ve put more pictures on the walls at least! That said, there are few better reasons to have to deal with something like this. I wish your sister the best of luck with her surgery and recovery; I hope it’s speedy and that she loves her result 😊💕
Such a treatment of human being for a disease that kills mostly people over 80yo will never be necessary. This is inhumane.
@@eliys5982 you do realize that people over 80 are still people worthy of respect, right? They’re not just throwaways of society, they’re people who deserve to be considered and to have their health prioritized. Like, what are you saying??? lmao
@@Eowyn126 he's saying that those who feel are at risk should voluntarily quarantine themselves. Quarantining healthy people? Taking away all rights and body autonomy is a good thing in your mind? Are you insane?
It's interesting seeing both sides of that quarantine.
I've watched a foreigner who lives in South Korea and was tested positive for covid, so an ambulance brought him to that same hotel, no info was given, they just asked him to bring a 14-day suitcase.
He was so thankfull that the government was taking care of him, he was actually happy being there.
I'm a super introvert and can go weeks whitout direct contact. Often i prefer to just play online with Friends~. But the first Covid-wave was tough. I find, it is one thing to decide that I don't want to meet anyone. But not being allowed to meet someone when you really needed someone was incredibly hard xx.
And may I say how great I think it is that you are doing this for your sister?
As someone who comes from a broken family, where there has never been any cohesion, I can only say to anyone who has, enjoy this and hold on tight >
Okay can I just take a minute to say that thing you said about the gifted and talented kids around 9 minutes is actually me I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling that way
Glad to see you're doing Ok.... Well wishes to you and your sister! 💛
11:55 that's so sweet and all but....girl I'm introverted AF all that time alone was bloody magical
I've been out of MIQ in Auckland NZ for a week now and even though we have some of the highest rated quarantine facilities in the world its still exactly how you said 'soulless'. I have never had so much anxiety in my life, its not something I usually struggle with and even being back in my own home now I haven't been able to settle, its pretty awful haha.
It's tougher than you think it will be guys, wishing everyone who has done or will be doing this the best
i don’t mean to pry but, might i ask what you’re up to quarantined in auckland ? i’ve seen heaps of comment of people being in NZ. as a kiwi we don’t usually get talked about lmao, was there some kind of event happening around this time ?
My grandparents had to hotel quarantine when coming back from New Zealand to Aus and they loved it haha… nice hotel in the city, and they constantly had family members sending them wine, cheeses, baked goods etc.
Just for your piece of mind: the adjoined rooms are usually separated by 2 doors - one on your side and one on the other. Basically you can open your door but not the other.
You're the only RUclipsr that I'm subbed to that has so much variety on your channel and I have no regrets! Keep it up!
2:27 we are all absolutely going to support you and your sister completely❤️
rly enjoyed this Elbat and gave me smthn 2 focus on whilst my insides were burning. my body really rejected smthn I ate whilst watching the 1st half of this vid (I took a break halfway throug to vomit OFC)-feeling better noww. cant make this stuff up
I hope you’re ok!!!
Wow, hope your sister is doing well, so glad of your support for her 😊 I think the Koreans have the right idea with this quarantine, everywhere should be doing it regardless, stricter rules means more control of the spread. Glad you're not going insane in there 😊💕🦋
We have it in Australia, and here in Sydney we have been in lockdown since the end of June, and the numbers aren’t decreasing. People would often illegally visit those in hotel quarantine, or security guards would get COVID from the hotels
It's not boring! Your very presence is enjoyable (I was going to say entertaining but that sounds mean?) and you are keeping me entertained while I clean the kitchen x
I went through South Korean quarantine, too! My room mate and I got to stay at our apartment luckily but those 14 days very awful really. Apart from the food issue (because you need a verified phone number and/or korean bank account for everything) being together was super exhausting: for my room mate because she's super extroverted and needs to talk to different people, and for me because I'm introverted and constantly having someone around me really was draining.
I would really love for you to talk positively about yourself, you are NOT stupid you are a smart strong beautiful human being
Thank you for sharing your quarantine experience 🥺
Oh, I just watched the video, and now my earlier comment feels really flippant... erm... sorry EB.
Fair play to you for being a huge, supportive legend.
Hope your sister is doing OK, too.
The thought of government provided food really scares me. I'm coeliac and if I was stuck in a room for 14 days with no choice or power over what I ate and they accidentally put gluten in my food. Oh boy would that suck! The hotel wouldn't have much toilet paper left by the time my 14 days was up 😂😭 I would pack all of the snacks as a back-up!!
Also, I hope your sister is recovering well, and that you're both happy and safe, lots of love from Australia
well 14 days would be me finally watching dragon ball start to finish, watching lord of the ring without falling asleep and watching walking dead for the first time
Watching through all of One Piece almost in those two weeks would be possible.
I'm extremely introverted and don't feel loneliness like others so I've thrived while others have suffered these past two years.
This was super interesting to watch! Hope you're almost done with your quarantine (sorry you may have said what day you get out, but I did forget!) Take care x
I really appreciated this video. I was fascinated from start to finish. How other countries are handling visitors, quarantine etc.
Is very interesting. Thank you for bringing us along. 🙏🏻💕
Watching back some videos which make me relax!
I had to quarantine for two weeks when I went back to Canada in June, but because I didn't fly, I got to use my son's studio apartment because he was out of town. People flying into the country were required to quarantine for the first three days in a government approved hotel and then complete quarantine in a home where they could continue to self isolate for the remaining eleven days. Longest two weeks of my LIFE. Yes, I'm vaccinated. Yes, I had submitted a negative PCR test at the border. And took an additional test as I crossed. And took a third test on day eight. We have to stay safe and yes, I've never been so bored in my life.
Congrats to your sister for her coming out! I wish her all the best
Oh god I would’ve gone crazy. I get really bad cabin fever (like I get nauseous and headachy) if I stay inside for even a day. And I get depressed if I’m in the same place for a long time. Sleep and going outside are the only things that help. I’m so grateful that I’ve been working through the whole of COVID and will continue to work (in person) as long as COVID is around.
Little bit of life advice if you’re stuck like this. Get a VR headset, seriously.
Like the standalone Quest 2. Your sanity will be spared, cause you’ll actually be doing things and disassociate with reality after a few minutes of socializing with people online.
It saved me, and saved a lot of strangers in this same or similar situations.
i was in a house by myself for 6 months during the first lockdown. i had a dog but yuh, you never get used to how quiet it is, i talked to myself so much just to have sound :,)
My sister recently came out as transgender to my family, I’ve known for a while but it was so much better than we expected. It’s been emotionally exhausting for us all, and hopefully she will be able to access healthcare that will change her life soon. But as you know the waiting times are so long on the NHS.
