All of your support you have given us these past years now back to the episode we are ready I am ready yeah ready let’s go here we go let’s go let’s go there are multiple Express services that were stopping by at the station so I

Decided why I just go you know get on us either a limited express service or a repid service right so we’re at Cha station we’re looking at the par here next available C to Tokyo on track 8 so let’s go to track 8 our first stop is going to be at Tokyo

Station so we’re going to get a bus okay um yeah we’re going to make our way back to the station we’re going to hop on the sky Train towards Waterfront do you hear an ice cream truck yeah what the heck or you could take that what the heck Tokyo leav in at

27 so right now is 24 so we have a few minutes to wait and uh that will take us to Tokyo station I started at the bus terminal so I expected I will be taking the bus first and uh it was like out in uh out somewhere across the the

Bay so the thing with this one we actually pay when we get off so what out we have I got a green S card with my name encrypted in It the next station is j27 the doors on the right side will open fter way to get off yeah as soon as we get there we get Off Ralph is over there Jason over there we just left so I think we have an advantage until we get to the dog statue we’ll see who gets them first but it’s going to be me number one okay team come on all those of you following me please subscribe to my

Channel metro Alpha just click on the link up here up here or you can check on the links down below check out my channel in the meantime te number one let’s go So yeah so the map showed me it wanted it wanted me to go to the other Terminus but I went to the other Terminus thinking that’d be faster but I believe we C the same train anyway so all right guys sorry so we just ran all the way from

The see like like half this train we got we’re good so we’ll be on this train for about 18 minutes got up at Yokohama switch to another line the next station is JK The we’re going to Tokyo not so we are on our way to Tokyo when we get there I called it the yamy line but to all the Japanese I apologize for making fun of the names anyway so we’re going to take the yamy line the yamot line and get off at

Shibuya and that’s the plan so I’m just thinking we don’t get to Tokyo station until like around past 12 so I’m just thinking there you know cuz there are many options I want to take the faster option I was thinking taking me the but then when I found out that the

Yamot line would would take almost a bit more time but get start around the same time as we would take the Narita so I don’t know what to choose gosh I have to make a Decision So snap M update um right now we’re atashi just the bridge yeah the bridge by airport Ralph on the other hand he’s still down there by the park making his way up to the station where you can jump on the train that’s the wor doing it right now

But right now I guess right now NE me Open there still I knew it oh this is this is close it’s going to be close this is a race between me and Jason pretty much oo okay we’ll see how it goes Jason you’re going down we’re still on the line um I don’t know but um see

Where guys are so as you see start all the way down here turn right there on the train Al he’s back in Tokyo and Jason is head towards Tokyo so they’re going to meet up soon but uh we’re going to be heading directly towards area after this and yeah who do

You think has a lead right now hard to say I don’t know where they’re at and I don’t know lines through like that hopefully Me And when you were waiting for that train it was it was late it was late first first time I’ve ever seen a Japan train late it was late by like 2 minutes so you know what’s going on [Applause] here so where are we taking this all the

Way Tokyo station located right in the heart of Tokyo is one of the busiest stations in Japan and a major railway station in Toyota thousands and thousands of people use this station every day as major railway lines and shinkansen lines run through this station we also have a video showcasing

This very station be sure to check it out if you haven’t seen it yet okay so just arriving at Tokyo Station so the bus is going to go down when we get on we’re going to cross the street and get into the station and hopefully we get to Shibuya before Jason

But you think Lorenzo might be uh taking the toyoko line to shuya that could be possible Jason should have crossed the river by now so Ralph over there yep okay [Applause] let’s let’s go up here go to the train station get on light on is we can get on the yamot line and head over to chibuya and then from there we we go to the Statue right shimbashi and say vending machine here I’m kind of thirsty So let’s give it a try oh give it a try when we’re outside let’s keep going we got to so on the G the subway line uh we just missed the train a little unfortunate but it is what it is we got 4 minute wait how fast are we going 105 surprised

We missed it y one’s the next one looks like it’s 2 minutes seems like it I’m Here that reminds me of Jason speaking of Jason but he hasn’t updated his map like 5 minutes ago meanwhile Ral over here he’s on a train somewhere your attention please train could be close now this is free fall now to be quite honest uh I thought it was a real close

Race between me and Jason uh just because of the how approximate we were uh uh to Tokyo it’s going to take another half hour to get yeah pretty much this is good so we just got on the yamot and uh we’re going to get off at

Shibuya will take us about 20 minutes to get there it’s between you and Lorenzo now and I don’t know where Jason is yeah this is close looks like Jason might take this one she where is he he is is he on the ginel line that’s is that a is that ginel line

I feel like it is meanwhile Ralph is zooming oh boy could he have be on this train he could be on this train oh boy seeing Al was getting like really close felt there was a good chance that he would have gotten taken the lead but

No he decided to went Go a different way so right now I’m on the G of subway line and I’m seeing Al he looks like he’s on a Jr train most likely a yot Lon train to uh shuya we’re going across town so I think we might have the advantage

Here so just a while ago there was a train that just went with us after making a stop at the previous station and that train already passed us we crossed that off the list now I’m just thinking he might have been on the Marci line from that station could be free

Fall now yeah he’s heading there now he’s cutting it the booah is right there we’re making a you so this might be his or me this is close oh my goodness this is a fair race this is pretty close I’m here we’re I think we’re just about to

Reach our uh sou southernmost point on the yamot we’re at chawa station we just H our Southern Point meanwhile Jason he should have left there minutes ago Ralph is over here so he’s zooming he not there 2 minutes now like all in all I think this is a fair fairly

Close race I think I I can appreciate how the race has been uh laid out I’m not taking a loss for last place but this is really close I have to say this too close to call not that no no still far out but we are approaching we St on against other

Either we can have advantage or have a disadvantage on how far we to go to our end point the moment of dawn on us upon reaching most likely we have to go through scramble Crossing shabuya known for its famous scramble Crossing is home to the Center for Youth

Fashion and culture Shibuya is one of Tokyo’s most colorful and busy districts packed with shopping dining and nightclubs serving swarms of visitors that come to the district every day our contestants will have to try their hardest to navigate around the busy crowd to find shabuya Landmark the hacho

Statue homage to the loyal a the dog yep so Jason’s there now now it’s just a matter of him finding the dog he’s at the station he needs to find the dog we’re arriving we’re arriving this we’re arriving the station in a few minutes so he’s here now we’re approaching the

Station now it’s just a matter of finding the dog you know what I would I’d be I’d be surprised if he didn’t find the dog before me on right like I find the dog first before him we’ll see it’s pretty close but I have to say if

Jason if Jason finds the dog I’d be happy for him regardless if I’m last or [Applause] Second find that Dog congratulations man hey congratulations how does it feel winning oh feels great how do winning your first R I know first race in Japan yo first win in Japan it’s funny enough that I haven’t won anything yet in Vancouver or anything in BC back in Canada like a win

In Japan yeah I am happy very happy awesome oh that was pretty close to be quite honest yeah like I I saw you you were pass you were like passing the river we were close to the station yeah what train did you end up taking so I

Took theod the soide the rapid service I knew it I knew it got off to uh shimi transer to the G of subway line oh I knew it there there was a train there was a train that crosses the could have taken the ginel line but it’s okay hey

We’re here we’re here now we just got to wait for Lorenzo where is Lorenzo where’s Ralph where’s Ralph where’s got off the r we got too distracted oh we got to go back apparently he missed a stop oh yeah so he he pass shya so just imagine he

Gets off at the next stop gets back onto the train goes back then misses the stop Again oh what what happened we took the we took the I didn’t I swear I inserted with this you may have tapped on the IC hey man what’s going on what happened what happened what happened going for the wrong stop why went I I just went past the stop so take a bit
