Kagoshima in One Day: Shrine, Volcano & Unexpected Cruise Drama 🌋🇯🇵

[Music] Good morning. Good morning. We are arriving in Kagushima. Um there’s actual sun. Do you guys see this? Crazy. Yeah. We haven’t docked yet, but we’re going to. And then we’re going to get off the boat. Look, there’s people waving to the boat. Wait, let’s go see. Yeah. Look at them. Cute. That’s a volcano. We’re going to That over there is the volcano. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, that is the volcano. It looks very cloudy. And also breakfast. Wow. [Music] [Applause] [Music] All right, we are now in Kagoshima. Customs question mark immigration. We went through a very thorough pat down like filling up everything. Very thorough. And then we were kept asking if we were sisters and we’re like, you know what? Yeah. Cuz it’s illegal. It’s illegal in this country. Yeah. [Music] It is 7:19 in the morning and it is already blazing hot. and so humid. Here’s to getting thunder. [Music] Okay, so still sweating. Um, but we’re going to the train station to then get us to the ferry, which will cross us over to the uh volcano. And then we get to go and explore around the volcano area, which it is still active, obviously, as you guys have seen um through the videos and photos. Very excited about this. Literally just dripping sweat. Like pouring. [Music] I am still finding money on the ground even in foreign countries. How much is that? I don’t know. 10. [Music] Okay. One thing if it was like Alaska, the two of us tapping though. I think I just put I just put 500 extra in by accident. I didn’t I had all the coins in my hand. Yeah, that’s the absolute latest. I don’t know how long that I feel like that whole thing. Okay, we left the Did you walk from the boat or did you want to taxi from the boat? We might as well taxied all the way here. It’s a big boat. It didn’t look like we got on the ferry. There might be. Um, we have to pay when we get there. Um, the train took coins. We literally just give our coins to the conductor and he just does it for us because we don’t even know. That’s where we’re at right now. We also found a travel family. It’s like literally so cool. They’ve been to so many places. I’m jealous. I’m jealous. But yeah, they’re so cool. We found our travel family. Let’s see. This is like what I want to be doing is like traveling and meeting people and you know, even if it is just like families and stuff like that. Like that’s pretty cool. However, I would like some friends that would like to travel with me. But so if you’re interested [Music] [Applause] [Music] Okay, so we are off of the ferry and headed to the observatory, I believe. Um Oh, look at that hill. Okay. Don’t walk underneath. [Music] Okay. So, Hills research that you can’t walk under these things. I feel like if you see other people walking under them, you’re fine. That are not like Americans and stuff. It’s also so hot. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, let’s go. We’re in this like You might have to take your shoes off. Village, huh? You might have to take your shoes off. [Music] It’s so hot. I’m going to look so bad in this. It’s so hot. [Music] We’re dying from the heat. It’s a bit much. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Rainbow Beach. This is a a bit of a short beach. I don’t know about colorful, but it’s colorful now cuz we’re gay. So, it is a rainbow beach. Okay, I’m going to stop. What’s up with the dragon place? Do you know where [Music] want somebody to love him. Oh, that’s not going to happen here. Oh, big kitty. Hi, kitty. Sorry. Are you sad? Not friendly. They are not friendly. [Music] Oh, man. This is This is getting intense. There’s some water. This is getting intense. Okay, we’re just going to We’re going to go. Come on. hills. Enough. Let’s enough. [Music] Ooh, it’s warm. Is it like enjoyable warm? Yeah, it’s like not hot. Okay, it’s starting to rain again. This is what we’re doing. Okay, starting to rain. [Music] not brushing you obviously because you don’t know how big it is. If you’re coming here, bring a towel cuz then you have no other way to dry your feet. Yeah, microfiber the best. We are in the visitor center right now cuz there’s air conditioning and also free Wi-Fi. So, getting those benefits. So, today was kind of a shorter day. Um, we had to get back on the boat by two. So, and really there’s not much more. We could have gone to a lava beach, but that was like 20 minutes both ways. So, it probably would not have worked. Um, just because we walk everywhere and also the train takes like 30 minutes. So, but yeah, I feel like we did as much as we could. We’re in such a beautiful, beautiful area. It’s very islandy here. I feel like that’s all of Japan. What am I saying? Um, I appreciated today. I I enjoyed today. Today was kind of kind of chill. I guess it was like relaxing even though we walked a lot. Yeah, kind of chill. It’s It’s hot as butt cheeks, but I mean that’s just I feel like that’s everywhere so far cuz I mean we went in the middle of July, so we’re we’re dealing with those rape clashes. Exactly. Man, so pretty though. [Music] Okay, we are back on the ferry. Going to go back on the train. Um Haley just told me that today we roughly spent $5 in all of this transportation. So there’s that. $5 US. Yeah, it’s hot. It’s so hot. Like I think we’re going to go jump in the pool after this. the kid. The kid one cuz it’s it’s seven feet deep. The adult one is like 3 ft deep. It’s so stupid. [Music] [Music] Maybe, but it’s kind of a one or the other. So, we need to talk. I kind of feel like after. [Music] Okay, so I got apple soda, which is great. So good. And then I got a red bean cake thing. It only has eggs in it, so that’s good. Let’s try it. This is so good. Like, yum, bro. So good. My guess. [Music] So, done at the little family mart. So good. Everything is so good. All the 7-Elevens here don’t have the slurpee machines, so that’s interesting. Probably banned. Yeah. Otherwise, we’re just going to walk towards the cruise port and if we find anything, we’ll go check it out. But if not, honestly, the pool sounds great right now cuz it’s so hot. Everything’s just drenched. We are now in um Don Kyote where they have like literally everything and it’s Wow. [Applause] Where do you want to start? Holy crap. Where do you want to start? [Music] I mean, is this real though? Like, bro, what? [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Did you like donkey today? Yeah, it was crazy. Overwhelming. That was Yeah, that was very overwhelming. It was like a dollar store on steroids. Well, not really the price. It was cheap for sure, but like Yeah, it was just crazy. And then I couldn’t find Haley and then I got a little scared, but I don’t have any maps or directions. I should have downloaded it. Next next trip I will be prepared. What do you have to say for that? Um, I am excited to see Lauren and what prepared means for her. [Music] You’re doing [Music] dinner. hungry. It wasn’t so. [Music] We’re back from dinner. We We started eating dessert and the guy came. He’s like, “Wait, don’t eat.” And we we both already took bites and he’s like, “I need to check something.” And so he goes back to the kitchen, takes like I don’t know a few minutes or so and comes back and he’s like, “Okay, all good. You can eat it.” So we both we both ate it, finished it. The manager comes over and is like, “How allergic to egg are you to Haley?” She goes, “Was it?” And she goes, “Yeah, there was a a miscommunication in the kitchen.” And she goes, “Are you gonna get sick?” And then she was like, “Do you need to go to see medical and all of that?” And so, we don’t know how Haley does. We know that Haley just gets rid of all of the food if it’s dairy. I don’t really know about egg, but should be an interesting night. Haley’s sick. My stomach hurts. It’s just a night. It’s just a night. So, I’m going to go head to the show to go see it and then probably head back, go to sleep so that hopefully tomorrow we’ll be okay. Yeah. I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going to happen. So pretty. The leaves in the trees are falling to the sound of the breezes that a night. I feel like I don’t know what I feel like honestly. I feel like at night all the time I just be rethinking all of my decisions that I’ve made and wanting to just start a new I don’t know. I just be having like these really big outer world kind of thoughts, I guess. Like just I don’t know, flipping flipping things, changing things, seeing how it is from a different perspective. Maybe it’s too much, maybe it’s too intense, but I don’t know. That’s just that’s just what I’d be thinking right now looking at this view, man. You know, it’s like you feel things and you think things and sometimes those things don’t align and then you got to figure out how to make them align again. It’s like it’s like the balance is off. just feel like I have to try to find the balance again. I feel like everything just comes back to the money stuff. It’s like, how do I figure out how to afford living the way I want to live and still make money for like living at my own place like an apartment or whatever? It’s like, how do I sustain traveling and yet still afford food and, you know, like a house and stuff? Like that’s the struggle for me is like financial. How do I figure this out? How do I logically make things happen, you know, cuz I don’t have a stable job. So that makes everything worse. And it’s hard to have a stable job when you know you’re in a career like mine filming and doing that stuff. I don’t know. Life is not easy. I’ll tell you that much. I just feel like I have to be smart about how I go about this stuff, very tricky, and also very scary. How do I get all of the things that I want out of life and be satisfied and not bored? Right? I feel like everybody tells me like, yo, you flip on an instant. Like, you know, you want one thing and then the next thing you want something else. And it’s like, well, I don’t really know what I want. Like, this is my first time living. I have to try out everything. I have to, you know, put in an effort to to really go for things, right? I got to put all my 100% into whatever I’m into at the moment, right? But if I change, you know, like it’s not me being flipping, it’s just me wanting something different and trying something different. Like, how am I supposed to know right out of college what I want to do and who I want to be with and just like all the things, you know, like I don’t know. And I feel like people try to, you know, put this on me as in like like I’m I’m flaky or, you know, I flip a lot and it’s just like not like that cuz I’m just trying stuff out. But every time I try, I put 100% of my effort in. I also do understand that, you know, my wants is not sustainable for everybody. You know, it’s not for everyone. I’m just out here trying to be content with where I’m at and like genuinely happy. That’s what it is right now, right? I’m I’m traveling, which is making me really happy, but like at the end of the day, it’s all the other stuff. Not on the trips, it’s everything else. And that’s the make or break part. I know this is not like the point of the video, but like it’s just what I be thinking when I’m traveling. I I learn new things and I gain this perspective and I’m like, well, questioning my everyday life, like that’s just that’s what comes with the experience and the perspective. Gosh, sometimes I just wish it was easier. Sometimes I wish, you know, people would give me an answer.

Embark on an extraordinary journey with me as I dive into the world of Kagoshima. I show everything we did. Seeing the volcano, taking a traditional Japanese footbath, also getting sick and feeling the need to change my life again.
