  1. Loving the travel content, Kym! I’m going to Tokyo in late April with my family, and this got me even more excited.

  2. Can see you walking the Pit Lane in those Boots Kim you'd be a true Legend and disowned by your countrymen🤣

  3. I'm pleased you like Tokyo. It has "everything" anyone would want, but your two dogs are waiting for you at home. Enjoy the break fella.

  4. The Famichiki, or Family Mart chicken is the best. Can't go to other convenience stores to get that. Yodobashi Camera is a must for me too.👍

  5. Didn't you used to have an F1 channel, giving insight to the behind the scenes activity of F1??? Travel channel, now??

  6. "Stay Passionate" is you F1 aka the Battery Battle channel. For your travel channel, you should have a different closing line… "Keep Moving" or "Keep Exploring"

  7. I could never justify those high price sandwiches but that burger looked good.
    In regards to the skill testing claw. Yes they are rigged. The tension is controlled by electro-magnets and if the machine hasn't earned enough money it will deactivate the electro-magnet and cause the item to fall.

  8. Maybe it’s just me but I felt Tokyo was so-so when I was there this time last year.
