I had no idea Japan had a cat island I knew about the bunny one but not kittens 🥹 Im late to the party but I have a question regarding traveling with film…how can I assure that the film is not damage during my travel? I’m going with my instax FujiFilm mini evo and I’m so scare it will damage the film I take before even using it.
@RalphSam
@RalphSam День назад
You can always request "hand check" for film. Most security officers will oblige, especially in Japan. Thanks for watching! 😻

@@RalphSam thanks for the advice I will do that and ask for hand check and hopefully they’ll do it without any fuss 😊
@RalphSam
@RalphSam День назад
The only places I ran into some fuss was in airports in the Middle East (Dubai, Doha). Im not sure they understood the fragility of film. I had to wait some time but was let through eventually. But airports in Asia are okay. Good luck!

Hi Ralph & Sam. Thank you for sharing this cool vlog :) . May i know why did you use Hayakaken IC Card, not Nimoca or Sugoca? Is it easy to get at the Airport or Station? I heard the micro chip is getting rare nowadays and its hard to get such IC card in Japan.
@RalphSam
@RalphSam 2 дня назад
Hi there! We used the Hayakaken since it's the IC card we already had from our previous trip to Japan. If you have an old one, you can reuse it instead of buying a new one 😊 We did see signs at the train station that IC were no longer available in Hakata this year and Tokyo last year. Not sure if the situation has changed though!

I had stomach sickness in Nagasaki I met a lady as I was walking to my hotel in Hakata as took train early morning had thrown up all night before and Diarrea was awful she took me to pharmacy and got medicine for me .I went to bed when I checked in to hotel early afternoon slept the medicine was so good .I did not eat for 3 days just drank so much water .At home my doctor gave me that medicine you got last summer acid reflex really helps .I think the food in Nagasaki made me ill .I am more careful what I eat on my Japan trips food can be to rich .Glad you got good care .
@RalphSam
@RalphSam 3 дня назад
Sorry to hear that! You're very lucky you met that lady who helped take you to the pharmacy. Stomach sickness on a trip is no joke. And you're right, definitely led us to be more careful on our future trips by moderating how much rich food we enjoy. Hope all is well with you now 😊

I live in Fukuoka, and I'm happy to watch your videos. There's such a delicious-looking egg shop around Hakata Station, isn't there? By the way, the small spoon is not for miso soup, but for making it easier to eat oyakodon, where the rice grains tend to fall apart. It’s so wonderful to see you enjoying our city.
