Definitely worth a visit. My family’s leaving me. Back to the car. What? What? What should we do for bear attacks? Ah, back. Back away slowly. Okay. If you look like you’re going to get attacked, then spray. What does that mean? Kuma, use kuma spray or don’t do that. Just explain it. Hide your protect your neck and lay on the ground.

Oh, hold on. Hold on. Ready? The sun is kind of That’s better. I can see your face. Okay, smile. Here we are on the coast north of uh Olga Peninsula. We’re almost at the top left corner of um the mainland of Japan. At which point we’ll have to turn right and head towards the ferry. I wonder what these um why people put these concrete blocks there. Are they used for something? Boats maybe in the old days. Lot of rocks around there. It’s like a good place to put concrete. I mean if you’re going to use it for a boat. [Music] What do you think of this place? Pretty cool, huh? You like it? Musk. He really likes it. I feel like I’m going to throw up. I don’t know how that’s good, but you can see all rows and rows of these uh what do they call what’s it called? Yoko food yoku hatuen windmills. Oh man, it just goes on and on as far as I can see. Look at that. Jesus Christ. You can’t believe the wind is strong enough to make them turn. No, the wind is strong. Little Victor thinks I can’t jump up on this step. Ready? Here’s one. Easy, right? Got two. Got one. Ready? Ready. That’s good. Ready? No. Not yet. [Music] [Music] We went bug hunting, but we couldn’t find any. Little victims were there looking for bugs, too. Some last we had a good experience in Hokkaido a couple years ago. We found a bunch of kabuto mushies um helmet beetles and back beetles around in the woods. But we don’t see anything this time. [Music] Honey, get that one. And uh sure, why not? It’s right. Pretend it’s a convenience store. Woo! 5%. How do you want to get this one? I don’t know. How do you drink it? After my uh after mentioning this to you guys the other day, I was going to buy one. So, I thought it was a protein bar, but actually, you checked the protein content. It’s only got 36% grams. 3.6 g. His other one has 10. I’ll get this one set. Why not try it? How about these? Try this one, too. This one has protein is one. One. Oh my god. Oh crap. And we’re at the convenience store. They’ve got this thing so you can see how tall someone is when the criminal is leaving. So big, if you rob the place, you’re like 150. Cool. Thank you. So we have some weird decoration like both pumpkins. We were passing an apple or shirt and apparently we just remember that Al Modi is famous for apples. I love apples. These are tiny. They’re not even not even ready yet. That’s what we saw on the bridge a few minutes ago. These lights there for snow. Those arrows are pointing down because you won’t if it snows, you won’t be able to see the road. This will tell you where the road is. That’s how bad it gets up here. And now I’m down. We’re 5 minutes from the ferry, but we’re way too early. So, got like two and a half hours to kill. What we can do, you’ll go at the ferry place, but it looks pretty empty. Uh, it leaves at 2:30 a.m. and it is now 10:30 and we can board 90 minutes before. We’re going to go ask to find out when we can actually get in. Look at what it says here. Joa, this is the cars that we’ll be boarding. Yo yakum. Look at the people already who’ve already gotten their who’ve already paid. That’s from this land. These are memb routinely do this. Um, first of all, check out this office. Is this an office? Looks like it’s ski lodge or something. Kid’s having fun running around. even though it’s way past their bedtime. Um, nobody, it doesn’t look like anyone’s in this one. Maybe it’s only open in the daytime. Information there. They got toilets over there. They have counter over here like an airport, but nobody’s behind the counter yet. Ah, there’s somebody. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! [Music] [Music] See this is Emily P. Emily pick Okay, we have 3 hours before the um boat. Can you open it for me? So, we’re going to have dinner in the car. Let’s see what this looks like. Let’s see if it Oh, this is a spam. What?
