Mystery boxes. Even though Pokemon is a kids game, there is no kid inside in this store. Got to catch them all. It’s all adults with nostalgia. It’s true. We’re the same. We’re the same. We had to leave there because uh the the emotions were taking over the wallet. I don’t know. I bought some Poké Balls. Two. Both for you. Then for me, this one, these two. And then I also have a special one for you guys watching. Whatever is in this ball, I will give it to one of you. Uh, basically it’s like a mystery Pokéball. You can get any of these.

No. Go to like a 7-Eleven family mart. Apparently, there’s crazy food there. I heard it’s like the go-to place for a quick snack, coffee, quick anything. And every 2 minutes, you have a 7-Eleven. It’s beautiful. I could live 2 3 years in Japan. If I think about Tokyo, this is what I think about, [Music] right? I’m not going to lie, traveling to and back and staying in Japan is expensive.

Sandwiches is like a big thing here also. It’s one of the most famous one, just egg, salad. Then you also have this weird stuff like mandarin orange and whipped cream. Another thing they do here is you buy your frozen fruits, berries and yogurts, or you can go for like a mango and mango mango smoothie. I’ll take this one. So, you buy your fruits frozen and then you scan your cup basically and it’s will do the rest. [Applause] [Music] I’ve had this one before. This one is really nice. So, basically, they sell these rice balls and the rice is so juicy. If they would have things like this in Europe, I love rice balls. Please, somebody in Belgium start a small supermarket where you sell rice balls. M. This is my favorite pork bun. When I lived in Shangghai, I lived in Shangghai for 4 months. I’m that guy that’s just drops that in conversations. When I lived in Shangai, they would also sell these in the 7-Eleven. And it’s so so good. Bun with pork. Steamed bun. M. What do you have? I have no idea. I think it was sweet potato beef. Oh, it’s nice. It tastes like lasagna. And then of course a smoothie. Mango smoothie. It’s good. I took this also. Salmon row. I thought it swims. 7-Eleven rating. Hot stars. Nice for me. Seven out of 11. All right, let’s go to the Legos. Let’s go. Let’s go. Next thing we’re going to do is swing a little bit and talk. What the [ __ ] The birds here sounds like a drunk guy laughing. Next on the stuff is betting centers. I’m not talking about betting. I’m talking about batting. batting centers have been very popular since the 1970s because Tokyo is so densely built that there’s no room for baseball fields. Oh, so they introduced batting centers like this for people to baseball is one of the most hyped sports in Japan. The best player in the world. In the world. The MVP in the world. Sh Otani is Japanese. Y but before him it was already a huge hype. College baseball teams in Japan is like college football in America. Yeah. So, we’re going to go and uh enjoy some classical Japanese sports culture. All right. You know the they do the trick. What the [ __ ] is this? [Music] Okay.

Ninja training done. It was nice. It was It was fun. We already knew it would be a tourist thing, but we loved it. Next up, we’re going to the Seno G Temple, the oldest temple in Tokyo. It was founded in the year 645, so it’s 1,380 years old. Let’s try some traditional rituals here before we go back into the cave. [Music] The ritual is we burn the sticks. We go over there, the smoke of the yokuro will have healing and purifying powers. And apparently you have to put the smoke on the parts of your body you need healed. [Music] The shoulder. I have no shoulder. Shoulders. The knee for me. The brain. You need to chill. I need to chill. I need to We’re not to chill a bit.

I’m really trying my best. [Music] Look up. There’s the dragon. You know what I love about Tokyo? It’s everything together. It’s the chaos. You have the craziness in the city center, all the weird stuff, the crazy stuff, and then you come here and it’s like everybody is just peaceful. It’s It’s been a while since I’ve thought about, you know, like a little prayer, you know, that you wish well to everybody. My mind is never pausing at the moment and now I I had it a little bit. Temple like this makes you you feel the there’s something more. Should we go back to the craziness of talking? Let’s buy some tourist [ __ ] [Music] This is the Amo Yoko. It’s a very small streets with all types of street food. They’re like small food tents.

I’ve always dreamed of visiting Tokyo. The colors, the culture, the food, and the beautiful weirdness of it all have always pulled me in. So when we finally went, we went all out and it did not disappoint. It’s truly one of the coolest cities in the world. From crossing the iconic Shibuya scramble, to visiting the official Pokémon Center, grabbing snacks at the legendary 7/11, trying a ninja training experience, finding ourself at the Senso-ji Temple, and even getting slapped at the Muscle Girls Bar. A trip to remember. Arigatō gozaimasu! Enjoy the video!
