There's different panels, and sessions for YouTubers to get to know each other, and to know more about what's happening on the YouTube platform. The EYK duo will be talking about keeping a healthy life-work balance when you're a YouTuber. When they started out, they would work until sunrise and didn't look after themselves. Overwork kills creativity, you reach a burnout cycle, you think you're still inspired because you don't realise how tired you are.

What happens after midnight in a Japanese neighbourhood

This week Simon and Martina talk about a very interesting experience they had in their Japanese neighbourhood. It was raining, but they chucked on rain coats and went outside to explore. They stumbled on an amazing Thai restaurant, then went to another restaurant before walking home. It was past midnight and they thought they'd found a dangerous group of youths but instead saw someone rapping and a group of guys doing double dutch, with skipping ropes. There's no sense of danger in Japan. The duo say you need to get off your phones and notice the people around you because this was one of their fave experiences in Japan.
