I was jogging through what is normally a super empty filed/park, only to find thousands of kids! It’ was Golden Week in Japan and there were tons of people there in Showa no Mori, ??????It’s about two hours away from Tokyo.

I was going to go surfing the next day but it was pouring rain! So I connected this video to another footage I had of a condom vending machine.

I really should do a video on all the crazy fish they have at the super markets in Japan.

Thanks for your comments and video requests! You all rock!

A long requested, though sadly not terribly exciting topic: Cost of Living in Tokyo. I go through my monthly bills and hopefully give an idea of what one can expect to pay.
