Going out on an unplanned stroll in the neighborhood randomly looking for a place where to buy some snacks is the closest thing to being a kid again as an adult...
WanderingRurouni92 no no, you got that wrong. You could leave your bag with valuables in it on the street for a couple hours and come back to it still being there (and if not then it's been given to the closest police station)... the thought of being mugged on the open street wouldn't even come up in Japan (obviously there are exceptions, but you get the idea ;) )
Julian Serradilla *ahem* You can leave your stuff anywhere, and the only place it'll end up is the police station? JAPAN IS AMAZING! Enthusiasm that's sounds like sarcasm aside, it's really wonderful that those are the circumstances.
Your face was priceless when you tasted that chemical laden maple margarine thingy....I would have spat it out. I love watching your videos and livestreams. You have been my sanity saver while recovering from a head on accident where I got 14 broken bones.
I miss Japan everytime I see your videos. I've been there 3 times already, but I still get the urge to return every summer. They have so many things that aren't available over here, especially the snacks, the food and the vending machines, and everything is so convenient. People were really helpful too, always eager to help whenever they notice tourists being confused about something.
Amazing clean and safe. I so want to return to Japan watching this is making me so famished!! I am craving a snack my Mom would make my sister and I. Stuffed rice balls with a Japanese sour plums sooo good
We are also like midnight snacks. It is absolutely necessary thing after winter night duty at the battlefront, with a cup of hot tea with lemon and honey.
Hi John. How's it going? I was in Japan for 2 weeks last month with wife. We followed your advice from this channel. We even went to see the highway go through a building called TKP in Osaka. It was awesome! 1 thing we realised in Japan, no matter where we go, Tokyo, Kyoto, Himeji, Osaka, Kobe & Nara, and no matter what time is it, everyday we will see and hear Sirens of Ambulance and Fire Trucks, and I hear Ambulance sirens in this video now. Why it is so often? Maybe you can make an episode about it :)....
Great vid! Made me miss my late night missions through Tokyo in December last year, also Conbi's free wifi saved me couple times haha Keep up the solid content!
Hahaha, that maple/margarine bread. Part of me feels like it may have been a little better warmed up... though, not by much. Strange combo and I've eaten my fair of strange in Japan.
Haha "shoe cream", that's cute!! :) Choux means cabbages in French, choux creams (also called cream puffs or profiteroles) are often filled with pastry cream/custard like the one you had... and boy did it look deeee-licious!!
Awesome video. Here in Toronto we used to have a show called "Night Moves", which was a first person pov walk thru the town at night set to jazz music (you can find vids of it on yt). Thx for the memory recall, and stay safe!
Hello Peter From the UK. You had the Midnight munchies attack. When it strikes you have to go out and subdue your cravings. Good luck in finding your snack munchies. Lol lol
Do you worry about salmonella from eating raw eggs? I never dreamed I’d ever want to go to the Far East but you’ve completely changed my mind! PS. Starbucks is now carrying an egg cooked in a different way, like 2 hours on low heat! Woe taste pretty good! Nice to see you John and meet you my whole family are enjoying these broadcast! Thank you! 👵🏻
Japan is so peaceful at night; the one time I was able to go, I spent a good deal of time when I was in Tokyo wandering at night when I couldn't sleep. Never felt so safe alone at night anywhere before, and it was so nice. You don't expect a city that size to get that quiet. Toronto certainly isn't THAT quiet, even at 2-4am in the morning, and it NEVER feels that safe to wander there even during the day lol.
Most 7-11s I've seen in one location - Sutthisan Junction in Bangkok. One at each corner of the intersection, maybe 100m from each other. If I recall correctly you could see the one on the north side from the one on the south side. Add to that one Tesco Lotus Express and another convenience store (I forget the name) AND a Big C maybe 200m to the south...
Yes, I’m happy that I’m going home soon to Osaka because USA I got mugged twice and it’s always homeless people asking for money. Even in Japan homeless men will not ask for money but instead they will work for their own money. Plus Japan is so safe. That’s why I’d miss Japan quality of life
Keith-Alexander Bailey Not 100% safe since they got Yakuza worke(Thiefs that work for Yakuza). However from what i heard those areas seems to be around Shinjuku and similar areas with alot of action.
I used to do the same when I was in Yokohama, it is a pleasure being in an exotic place looking for something to eat and I usually found delicious food 🤤, I remember the rice cakes that were sold in Yokohama eki and some king of twinkees super cunae sold in the convenience stores in central Tokyo. By the way, I found a beer vending machine near the University of Tokyo.
Thats similar to Kue soes here in ID and ..when u get one ..with the perfect Choux ratio.. You cant just eat one! Glad to know I can get my fix if I'm in Tokyo!
It's 2am in UK London now and I'm starting to feel a little peckish now. I know exactly how you feel right now, I want to go to Central London to get some doughnuts and ice cream! 👍🏽 ✌🏽 ☺
John, what took you to Japan in the first place? I've spent 5 years there in my life, was just back in July. Of course it's got me by the heartstrings and now I want to go back.
ok. I'll go dig around for it. Japan is so amazing but so different! My trip back this summer after 30 years proved that you can get culture shock again. LOL
Love this episode and love Japan 7-11. Almost all my Japan vids are 711 food lol. Their melon pan is impressive and actually better than the fresh Japanese bakeries I’ve had in the US surprisingly.
The most pixelated Choux Cream I've ever seen... xD I learned about those in my previous trip to Japan, back some 10 years ago, and then I managed to find a place in Brazil that sells it... but it's not in my city. Really good though. I also found melon pan but it's nowhere near as good as the ones in Japan that you can find in any kombini. One of the reasons why I'm on a severe diet right now... I just know I'll eat 'till I explode on the next year's trip to Japan. It's innevitable. :P I'm also not as much of a picky eater as John is, so there's that.. xD I'd probably eat and enjoy that mapple bread without any problems... as well as most sodas John hated....
I was in Japan last month for two weeks and was planning to catch you while you are doing one of your live streams :P but you decided to visit onsens for a whole month :(
Brandon Jinjiyoshi Tilley They are really happy that you take your time to learn there language, since it show that you respect there culture. Also Japanse arent that much for english, so you help them alot.
i't only for people like you Johnny. 7eleven's 500 feet apart. do the chicken cream, because you can wake up at 3am, and get yourself a whole new Cream buzz.
