  1. NOTIFICATION SQUAD: We should've just called this video "Man Tries ROBSTER LOL"
    What did we miss though?! Share your wisdom below and help me bully Connor.

  2. the shipping point speaks to me a lot, as im a night shift worker so ordering stuff online is almost a no go unless it goes through the letterbox, as if it turns up in the morning when im asleep then thats it, i missed it and you only get like 3 chances before they send it back to the sender

  3. I wanted to cycle right now in Tokyo and because im here for a short amount of time I was going to use the E-bikes all over Tokyo but you need a Japanese number which sucks because I got a data only sim for Japan

  4. connor, the reason why everything mails so fast in japan is because it is way smaller than the uk or us

  5. I went to a local bar in the backstreets of Osaka. I had no Japanese, they had no English, I stayed for an hour and we had a great time…

  6. Yakatori and beer was my first experience of Japan on arriving late at night and I love it! Specially those chicken hearts

  7. We have smoked eel in the Netherlands too, one of the best fish dishes ever. Then I went to England and was introduced to jellied eel, I was like, how can you fuck up something so delicious so horrendously? And it's not like the Netherlands is particularly known for its world-beating cuisine….

  8. huge agree on family restaurants in japan AND unagi!

    Jonathan's was our breakfast spot in tokyo. Just a few blocks from our Air bnb, the staff were so kind and the food was surprisingly delicious. They even left us an english paper every morning after they noticed us coming in every day

    also unagi is awesome. one of my big surprise meals of the trip! I went in with little expectations, kinda just curious, and came away thinking it was actually one of the best meals I had.

  9. It's difficult to limit yourselves to 10 things. I'm on my 41st year here and here are some but probably not all additions to the list: Numerous, clean and free of charge toilets. 100 yen shops with really high quality stuff. Clean and reasonably priced hotels. Lunch for 500 yen – not only at the family restaurants you mentioned. Nice police officers at your local koban who seem to find helping a hapless foreigner gratifying. Seems like I could sum this up as "good cost performance"..

  10. Loved Fukushima. Back in April 2015 I went to Japan. Hanami had already moved North. Jumped on a train to Fukushima and got great views of some stunning colours.

  11. It's not fun going for a bike ride in America as well! There's to many people and vehicles. Lol

  12. Unagi is amazing! Incredibly tasty and definitely is different from your usual fish meals. Almost like a fish trying to be beef lol. It slaps!

  13. Those jellied eels don't just look like they belong in the 15th century; it looks like that's when they were made.

  14. for some reason those kei car are consider like a luxury type of vehicle here in malaysia because of how expensive it is.

  15. 1:28 I'm not sure if that sentence was brilliant or stupid. You picked the one place in Italy that has no space or hills to grow wine — if you mean the province of Veneto on the other hand… nah, it was brilliant (I guess).
