日本ではこれの準備ができていませんでした…カルチャーショックは本物です

日本ではこれの準備ができていませんでした…カルチャーショックは本物です

That’s the thing with Reanne. Sometimes she says   something that’s so obvious that 
it gets me confused. Thank you. I actually love Japan. Everyone is so nice.
They need to see the paper, but we might be all right. He’s making a phone call.
Hi guys, welcome back. We’re on tour Dridgers.   If you’re new here, we’re a full-time travel 
couple from the UK. We are currently in Okinawana, the Hawaii of Japan. And oh my god, it is 
absolutely beautiful. It’s nice to get away from the busy cities, neon lights, and just chill 
with the tropical vibe. We got palm trees, we got the sun out, and as you can see, I’ve got a bit of 
a tan as well cuz we’ve been running each morning   and burning oursel. We didn’t even realize.
Right. So, Okana has over 150 islands. We are on the main island and we’re in the main city Naha 
at the moment which it has got like city vibes but it’s much smaller and compact and a and a real 
local vibe. We’ve actually found that people here in Okinawa so far and in Naha are really really 
friendly and very kind. So you might actually recognize the name Okinawa. It obviously 
became really famous. Well, it didn’t become   really famous. It was really famous during World 
War II. it of the scenes of one of the bloodiest battles that over 300,000 people died uh between 
America and Japan. Also, uh maybe 2 years ago, Drew Blinkley come here and reported how people 
just don’t die here. They had the the largest population of centurions, people that live over 
100 100 years old in the whole world. Also, if you seen the film Hacksaw Ridge, that is based on the 
bloody wall here. Um, there is like a place you can go and see it, but it’s nothing like the film. 
Um, I think it’s been changed into like a castle been Hollywood.
Yeah, I think Mel Gibson produced it. Amazing   film. If you haven’t watched it, make sure you do. 
Uh, teach a bit of the history here. You’ll notice in Japan, so obviously it’s a green man now. 
So, we’re crossing, but when it’s a red man,   even when it’s proper like empty, and this was a 
big culture shock for us actually. So when it’s empty and it’s and there’s a red man, nobody 
will cross. So even if there’s no cars coming, no one will cross. So it’s like a little bit 
like like people just don’t break the rules. So that for us that was a culture shock because 
you would just in the UK you just cross the road   like regardless. It’s probably why Japanese 
people live longer than us, bro. Yeah. Yeah, that is actually true. I didn’t even think of 
that. Yeah, that that is why. But and they do say obviously you’ll see a lot of the old people they 
do they they stay active. So like me and Rihanna said um you will see them doing various activities 
around the city playing baseball whatever but also it’s it’s to do with their diet as well. So a lot 
of people here are um have a very balanced diet which is high with in vegetables and high in uh 
whole grain food. So that’s what I mean. So one’s closed and one’s one’s open. So you’re just going 
to have to tell me in the comments. I’m sorry. Most of all the shops down this road are like 
these souvenir shops with like your fridge magnet, food, flipflops. It’s got a very tropical vibe, 
like Hawaii style, flowers. It’s a cool road though. Look at it. Yeah, it definitely does 
remind me of Hawaii. Like the way especially   the way everyone dresses as well. Like 
Rian said then Flourish shirts. Um it is very touristy here but I just I think obviously 
this is the street where it will be touristy. Flourish shirts.
Yeah. Flourish shirts. Yeah.  Yeah. I’ve seen some things that I’ve seen in like 
mainland Japan. Like nearly not double the price like one and a half. However you say that.
Oh here.  Yeah. Like a bit more. Oh my god. This place looks 
wow good. It looks like market. Yes. It’s where the street food and all that going to be. Love it.
Yeah. So, spam’s popular here. Spam’s like a tinned meat. Really popular in the UK and back in 
like the 50s and stuff. It was popular during the   World War II sort of thing. And they’ve jumped 
on the the bandwagon a little bit and it’s on every t-shirt. There’s big signs of it. Spam, 
spam, spam. And uh apparently one of their main um cuisines, say cuisines, like a popular dish 
is a spam rice sandwich, which hopefully we’ll try up here. But, uh, spam’s a big thing.
So, literally, as Ben was just saying it,   this is the famous sandwich place. 
I’m guessing it’s spam. Is it spam? Uh, I think you Yeah, I think all of 
them have spam in that might might be   the orange meat there, do you think?
I ain’t got a clue. There’s a vending machine there. Vending machines, that 
we call it. Vending machine. Yeah,  there’s a machine there so we can order. 
But seems quite popular. And as I say, they always have a window so you can see them 
cooking it. That’s the thing with Brienne.   Sometimes she says something that’s so obvious 
that it gets me confused. Like, is that a vending machine? Of course, it’s a vending machine. 
Is it a vending machine? I’m confused now. Well, vending machines where you buy 
like a drink and all that. That’s  the machine you order on. Yeah. I don’t know.
It’s a kiosk. Um, English. Yes. Eaten or takeaway? Eating. Cuz I think takeaway 
you’re not allowed to walk along eating it.  Okay. Yeah.
All right. Why it gone in English? What? You have to guess. Oh, have to translate it now. 
Sorry, guys. Is there anyone waiting behind? All right.
Slight technical issue.  Fake grilled eel egg rice.
Is that spam? It says pork on it. I’m going to go for that.
Yeah, I think that’s spam.  Yeah, I think pork. Go this one. It’s only 400 
that one. That one’s 900. So, I find Japan is um quite a lot about money here. Like cash.
Cash. Yeah, cash. Yeah, it’s very cashy. Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, like obviously   we’ve just come from China. China was 
our last country and uh polar opposite. Yeah. From no cash to cash. 
Everywhere’s cash. The ticket is now. This place is even open. 7:30 to 7. It’s a 
long day. Look at him just cleaning equipment there with his hose. But you can eat in or take 
away. to take away. You have to take it away to   eat later on. You can’t walk along the streets 
eating. You just got this little bench. Eat it and then you leave. You don’t hang around.
Thing is, if we took away, we’d probably   sit here and eat it.
Yeah. Exactly. So, thank you. I know.
Oh god. How are   you getting your mouth around that? So, that 
is the spam. That definitely looks like spam. Deep fried spam, I’d say. So then you got 
seaweed on the outside, your rice, and a massive egg. I’m assuming that’s egg. It looks egg.
Oh my god. Seriously, how are you getting your mouth around this? That’s what she said.
I don’t think my mouth opens that wide. That is like Oh my god, that’s 
good. That tastes amazing. All I mainly got was the egg. And it kind 
of reminds me of McDonald’s egg. Yeah, it does look like McDonald’s egg. It 
does. Let’s try the spam separately. It’s really nice.
Spam is nice.  I think it’s the way you cook it. 
Like if you get spam from the tin where it’s really soft, it’s rubbish. But
that’s loss bear. Let’s do another one. I’m thinking I’m eating the paper cuz this 
feels like paper when you put your teeth into   the seaweed.
Yeah, but I’m not. M. That is really good.
That’s so big for 400. That is massive. Do you want to try it?  Ben’s going to make such a mess.
Don’t let that fall there. I know it’s spam, so at least I’m 
going to say it’s spam. That’s it. I’m helping. You literally look like my mother. Oh, your mouth fits nicely around it. 
Look at that, though. That is sexy. Oh, mate.
That is good, isn’t it?  Thank you. You got me sexy.
No.  Oh, that’s
Doesn’t the egg taste like McDonald’s? Yeah, I was just Yeah. Yeah, it 
does. I do know what you mean.  That’s banging. That is really good. 
I feel like I could eat like 10. Make sure you try one of these if you ever come 
here. kind of reminds me of an egg muffin but with roast on the outside instead of the muffin.
Instead of the muffin. Yeah.  Oh my god.
I think that’s probably the best description that we’ve had. That was absolutely fantastic. 
We only got one to share because we’re trying to not overeat. We’re trying our best. Like we’ve 
gone for a run each morning and then we end up eating. So our new goal is to try and eat better 
and not overeat. But we’re still going to eat. We just need to look after ourel.
We do. We’re getting old.  It feels like we’re on holiday all the time.
Literally all the time. But you got to remember that we got to live our life like 
there’s got to be some structure.  You’ll still have a beer though.
Yeah, but that’s part of life, isn’t it? Oh, Ben’s found us a proper market. Oh, I love it.
Locals only.  Locals only. Doubt it.
Yeah, I doubt it. I do love these Hawaiian tops. Ben thinks 
this is a public market inside here. This is This is where the locals go, Ryan.
Okay. Oh, yeah. It does. Look it. I   think we’re going to see some weird 
stuff in here that we won’t recognize. Yeah, you might you might see some 
like cow heads and stuff. Oh my god,   look at these. Smells amazing though. 
You can smell the pickled veg. Look. Wa. Fresh fish. So is them. Hello.
Sea snail. Only a Oh my god. Yeah. Some of that stuff’s mad. It’s um normally when 
we go to a market, it’s uh you get a real sense smell of like rotten meat. I know this is 
just seafood, but it smells smells right. Oh, he’s cutting up like fresh Look at 
that. Fresh sushi. Well, fresh salmon. Fresh salmon. Yeah. Kitra. Oh, how fresh is this? I think I saw meat that way.
Yeah.  So, this is like a local market. They 
come and get lo their fresh products, fresh produce,
fish. We smelled some the   pickled veg. I’d love pickled veg, don’t you?
Oh my god, it’s so unreal out here. And you always get it as a condiment on the table.
Here we go. We got meat. See, no smell at all. No smell.
All refrigerated, covered up. So, um, you got no   flies going on it. So, you got your beef, probably 
wagger beef and all that. Look how nice that steak looks. Look how well presented it is, though. M.
Yeah. I mean, we’ve been to um markets in uh one in particular. I can I can remember 
No, we went to one in Colombia and honestly the place rire. There was
there was meat everywhere.   Literally all over the all over the floor. 
Everything. This one is so well organized. Look how spotless.
Look how spotless it is. Could be   the cleanest market I’ve ever been to.
This meat though, not the seafood, the meat makes me 
really want to cook like steak and veg.  You love myself? I do. I do. So, one thing I do 
really miss when we’re traveling is cooking cuz I do love it. I love baking a cake with the kids and 
I like making dinner for the family. Do miss it. Honestly, just not You love my cooking.
I love your cooking, but  yeah.
For me, cooking myself just doesn’t ever see doesn’t even cross my mind. Yeah. Wow. So, you 
got them cooking stuff at the back all around and people eat in the middle. Okinawa ingredients. 
It’s a It’s a um ice cream, drinks, all using all their fruits and stuff.
Oh, I might get one. What should we   get though? So, it says here that the local fruits 
of Auana, it is low fat and low calorie cuz they do a special process. Beer float ice cream in a 
beer. All right, I’m going to get one of these. Oh, they got papaya. Ben,  no. Get that. You wanting one?
No, just get one. Just one. Share. Chocolate banana. Papaya.
Go. Yeah, go papaya. You keep saying that. Papaya. Papaya.
Papaya in a bowl. Papaya. Yeah.
Papaya.  Yes, please.
Oh, so look at all these   like freshly made ice creams. You can see all the 
fresh fruit like mixed in it. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Look at that size. Oh yeah. Sit there. 
Okay. Sit there. 550 for the healthiest low-fat ice cream you’ve probably ever tried.
Look at it though. It’s quite good.  It reminds me a little bit little bit like 
a sorbet. That’s what literally like that. That’s what gelto is. It’s a healthier 
version of ice cream. It’s not done   with dairy. I think might be making that up.
I’m pretty sure it was. Is that not just the Italian spelling of ice cream?
No type of ice cream. Oh my god, that is fantastic. It’s proper creamy. Strong flavor. I can taste orange 
in there as well. It is papaya. That is so nice. It’s really refreshing, 
especially on a hot day. All right,   a few hours have passed. Well, I think 
about 4 now. Um, I did a bit of shopping over at Donkey Quinn over there. Have 
you say it? Love that shop. So good. Um,   I keep forgetting to bring my passport to get 
the tax off. I need to start doing that. Um, and we just went to Starbucks for a bit, you know, 
editing, you know, the ballroom and crap. It’s now   dinner time. It is now 6:00 in the evening and I 
found a really good restaurant I’ve been wanting to go to and I didn’t realize it’s literally 
just down the road from where we were. So,   we’re going to go and try that out, but 
I’m hoping I’m praying it’s not too busy cuz I don’t know if it’s one of them places that 
like you have to queue for. Right. This is what   we’re going for. Itcheran restaurant. Uh, don’t 
know whereabouts. Maybe it’s there downstairs. B1. Is this B1?
I think so. B1 basement. Yeah, it’s got to be, isn’t it?
Yeah, that’s it. It  downstairs. I
think it’s all done on a vending machine as well, which is what we like. Not a big fan of 
talking to people. Hello. Two people. Thank you. Oh, look at this.
Oh god, I don’t even know where to start. I think these are like the classical ones up here.
Right.  You can get a beer. You got me.
You got the classic ones. Oh, yeah. I might get the classic ones. Then 
like an egg on the side or something.  Pork.
You want that one? So you get that and that on the side. Okay. Yeah.
What have I done? All right. So that one H boiled egg and extra sauce. That and that.
Yeah. Do you want a beer as well? And a beer. Oh, Ben.
Sorry. sorted. Straight straight through.  Watch your step.
Watch your step. You got me. All right. 12:30.
Okay. Thank you. Oh, wow. Look at this. This is cool.
12 13. So,   you have your own little booth. It’s probably This is cool, isn’t it? Thank 
you. So, give you a cut. Oh god. So, we got a t of 
these seasoning stock. So,   if you don’t know, then go for the one they 
sell. So, medium. I’m literally all mediums. What spice you got?
Mild.  You’ve gone way. Yeah. So, this is a little 
booth. We got like a chopsticks, napkins. What? Spicy. And then I don’t know what these are. 
So then I’m guessing we just put that there and they’ll come get it. What are these though? 
For other requests, please write it on the Oh, on the back. You can see English. 
I’m leaving my seat for a moment. Oh,   okay. So, you put these down. I don’t know 
the ordering process. Is it hot or cold water? Cold.
Cold.  Yeah. So, it’s like a little 
tap fan. Oh, you push it down. How cool is this? It
is cool. Look, I’m  buzzing for this. It’s a bit self sufficient.
Yeah, I like that though. Look, you just left. I filled this in. I feel 
like I can just press this. Oh, okay.
Did you press it?  Yeah. He tell you off.
I don’t know what he said. Yeah, it’s good. Let’s take half your ticket.
Ah, yeah. Yeah. Feel like I’m winging this a bit.
To order a noodle refill,   is it place the appropriate plate on top 
of the sensor? Oh, okay. Yeah, it’s just saying if there’s like a blackness to it, then 
it’s not old or being boiled wrong. There’s something wrong with it. That’s fine.
No, no, no. Don’t do it like that.  How did you do it?
Just give it a crack and a peel. Thank you. So, you just do a 
little crack like that. That’s it. That way you do it. Just makes it tumbling.
So, it’s a salted egg. Look at the yolk. Yum. You eating it all separate. I love the 
eggs cuz it’s more gooey and creamy. That’s what
is it? A chicken egg or a duck egg?  Chicken egg.
That’s why like   the egg sandwiches and all that taste so 
good and creamy. It’s just the eggs unreal. M. Look at that. They look perfectly 
cooked. Thank you. Oh, wow. Thank you. Look at these. And as you see, 
you get a little bow at the end. Oh my god, these look so good. We got 
pork, spring onions, noodles,   and then the chili sauce. It’s like a pork 
broth. Look at this. Oh, I’m buzzing for this. That’s hot. It’s very hot.
Not spicy hot. Heat hot. I   keep poking egg around the corner.
Get out. Get in your own boo. Oh, that’s wow. Nice. M. Oh my god, that 
is so good. Don’t know. Try some pork. M. That’s really soft and juicy, that pork. 
M. That’s really good. And the noodles. Oh, thin noodles. That’s for a medium. You 
can have them like different texture, like more of a bite to them, 
less than bite. Really soft. They’re delicious. How good are they?  I haven’t really tried it yet. 
I just went for the meat first.  Oh, you got meat on the side. 
You’re not throwing it in there. You just let the meat separate.
I put meat inside as well.  How spicy did you go? Full
full spicy. Full spicy. Oh my god. You’re going 
straight in for just the spice. And I went um bit of a crunch to them to the 
noodles. So I think this is how you meant to do it. So I can’t be watching. You get the 
broth in there and your noodles like that. You still haven’t cracked it. And 
you have a bit of juice at the end.   something like that but a bit more neater. 
Wow, they were 10 out of 10. Probably the best ramen noodles I’ve ever had. I’m going to 
miss this place. I would definitely come back here again. Cute little booth. I’m guessing we 
just walk out and leave. We paid. Yeah, just go. Says 12 and 13’s occupied. So, I don’t 
know how they know to clear it and that. It’s getting busier now. Thank 
you. Bye. Other side, Ben. He literally pointed you there. Oh, free service, 
good food. I love it when you can order off the machine. Just makes it so much easier. Morning, 
guys. We’re up bright and early cuz we’re going   to go and rent a car so we can visit more of the 
island. There’s a car rental place here. We’re hoping they’ve got some cars. We’ve decided 
just to wing it and go out today and get it. Why not? And hopefully they have 
one. Proper nice day today. Look,   nearly a blue sky. A few clouds about, but it’s 
boiling hot. This place we’re going for. It’s like a 10-minute walk from where we’re staying. 
We just checked out and just left our bag with the   guy at the reception. And hopefully we can get 
one in here. Kicha, uh, looking to rent a car, maybe. doesn’t speak English.
No reservation. No,  no reservation. No,
hopefully we get one, but as we said, we haven’t booked it. We just want it for two days.
You made that pace as well. Who wants to take a   good look at the car went?
No, we haven’t. Uh, how many how many passengers?
Um, two days.  Two people. Oh, two passengers. Yeah,
two two people. Okay. At first, please uh check the car size.
Car size. Yep.  The baby one. How use?
Two days. Two days. Okay. We went to 
We went to you this size like this?
Yeah. The small size?  This one? This one?
This small? Yeah.  Okay.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One of them is fine. Yeah. Are they automatic?
Yes. Yes, of course. Ah, but uh do you   have international driver access?
Yes. Yes, that’s fine. Okay. So, we have an 
international driver license, but we haven’t   got the paper part. Um, they need to see the paper 
part, but we might be all right. He’s making a phone call. So, I’ll let you know what happens. 
Right. Disaster. Absolute disaster. We need the paper part. They said they can’t accept it without 
the paper part. They’re actually here in Japan,   they’re really, really strict with your 
international driving permits and stuff. So, we’re getting the bus. And not only are we 
getting the bus, it is the longest bus you   will ever see in your life. Is what it is.
All right, we’ve made it back to our accommodation. We’re just going to grab our bags 
and then head to the bus stop. Hopefully, it won’t be too long. We’re all a wait to get a bus. But 
should be able to just grab them. You’re just   going to grab them. Highly recommend this place 
if you want a cheap, cheerful place here. It was £35 a night. Free food. No, not free food. free 
drinks, um, laundry room, free rental bikes. Well, free bikes, not rental. And the guy is really 
nice. He like helped me out with my laundry. Like,   I went out for the day and he did it for me pretty 
much. But let’s make it to the bus stop. Ben, you’re in charge of getting us there.
Yeah, I know.  All right, we’ve made it to the bus stop. 
Oh my god, I am literally melting. Look, Ben is dripping with sweat.
It is so hot, mate.  I’m not a fan. Not a fan.
The bus. Should we come here? This isn’t R1. 23. We want 28 or 120. It’s 
just a normal like public bus. I thought it’s going to be like a more of a coach. Yeah.
Yeah. But it’s about an hour. We’re heading to   the American Village first before we go to our 
new accommodation. We’ve got a really really nice hotel that we’re heading to in a bit. But 
we’re hoping we can find somewhere to store our   luggage. Otherwise, it’s going to be hard. All 
right. So, we’re getting 28 bus. It should take us about an hour. We’re just waiting for 
people to get off and then we’ll get on. I don’t know. It’s saying no. Yes. No. Look at that. Thank you. All 
right. The bus we just jump on,   number 28, was just going to the bus terminal. 
So, we’re literally about to jump on another bus. 143. I think that cost us 520. It took us like 
5 minutes up the road. So, bumped a little bit, but it says our next bus should be 3 minutes. 
There’s our bus. Perfectly on time, right? So, we just got given like tickets and then at 
the end you pay either I think we contact this card or cash, but make sure you have the 
correct change otherwise you won’t get given   the change. But this is us for probably the 
next hour all the way to American Village. So, it’s like a public bus. Well, I’ve got my bags 
here and then Ben’s over there with a suitcase. American Village. Yes. Next stop. Next stop.
Next stop. Oh, okay.
Next. Thank you.  Yeah. Yeah. American. Yeah. Thank you. Knows a 
little bit of um English. Told us next stop. So, that’s good. We’ve been on it for 
over an hour. Feels like ages.  I think everyone’s getting off 
at the American Village. So, yeah. Everyone that’s left on it. I think it 
might be the last stop. But um it got really busy at one point like even people standing up 
but other than that it’s quite nice air con and   that bus drivers are really nice as well. They 
don’t like brushier like you can sit there and chill for a bit. Let’s see how much this over an 
hour bus journey cost us. I’m hoping they give us change cuz I’ve only got notes. I’m getting 
pretty hungry. I’m hoping there’s like some   American pizza slices. That’s what I’d like.
New York slice. This is how helpful he is. He’s a good guy this one.
He is a good guy.  Very nice. Good guy. He’s He’s definitely um 
He’s definitely our new favorite bus driver. He’s cool. When we get bus at home, they’re like 
brushing you off and they’re well rude. Okay. Number 840.
840. Yeah. Okay. Bye. What a great guy. All right, we’re 
sorted. We’re going to see if we can find somewhere to store our bag. So, should have 
probably asked him. No, it’s um I read on the forums online as you do. Uh they said the 
mall and they also said the tourist center. So, all right, then find out and we can 
see if we can drop our bags off cuz   otherwise this might be very fun with these. Oh, that would be awful. 11 
minutes to the tourist center.  All right, take us there then. 
The tourist information center. Do you have uh lockers? Um, how do we use we 
pay you? It requires to use Japanese 500 coin. You got a coin.
Not 500.  So you have you got change?
Uh, yeah. We do have change or we can have the last.
Oh, you can have it.  Like we take credit card or
Okay. Card. Yeah. That’s fine. Yeah. 
You want to leave more here?  Yeah. Yeah. We have your 9,500. That’s brilliant. Thank you.
Thank you. So, we’ll put your 60. Okay.
Put it over here. Thank you.
Thank you. Okay.  Thank you. I’ll see you in a bit. Bye.
Bye. That was easy. Yeah, it was easy. Well helpful.
I love I actually love Japan. Everyone is so nice. We’ve not had one bad interaction, 
have we? No. But we’ve just left them with her   instead. I don’t think it would have fit in one 
of them lockers for 500. So, we got a bargain there just putting it with her. So, if you come 
to American Village, you can dump your bags here.  Let’s go and explore.
Look out for the robot. Yeah, she was really nice because like Rian says, 
we probably wouldn’t have fit that into the   the lockers, but she was looked at it and she 
was like, “Oh, we’ll just charge you for one.” Really nice.
All right, so we think this is the American   village all here. Start off with American Depot. 
Ben informed me that’s like a shopping center. It is a shopping center. So, this was actually built 
in 1947 when America first occupied Okanima. They actually occupied it for 27 years. And this is 
where all the military personnel used to hang around. So, it’s uh it’s not it’s changed into 
a tourist place, but yet it used to be used by the military personnel. And you it’s full 
of bars, shops, but obviously it’s a lot   of touristy stuff here. So, it’s a little bit 
different now. Eminem, man. Look at these cats. I put a needle one in them to cuddle at night. 
Really? Is it heavy? You can just imagine like back in World Wars, all the soldiers hang out here 
like with their American music being loud like Americans are. got like the retro style in that as 
well. There’s actually a dart shop there. Darts, mate, is like super duper duper popular in 
the UK right now. We got like Luke Litler. I don’t want to bore you, but Luke Litler is 
like tearing it up. Best player in the world,   mate. And I’m not even a big D fan. So, you got 
the American vibe with the diner, but then you got like a London bus. Confusing. Really confusing. 
Right. So, this is Pizza Stand NY where we get some New York pizzas. A bit confused though. 
Even more British stuff as well. Let’s go have a look. Let’s check it out.
Slice of pepperoni. Down low.
Hello. Uh,   one slice pepperoni.
Mhm. Uh, oh. Drink.
Uh, Coke Zero. Look at that for a slice of pizza. Does that look like American? Let us know.
I reckon it does. Little P plate as well.
Yeah, that’s how they serve it. For me,   that’s quite that seems quite authentic.
You got your um palmesan cheese, chili flakes, oregano, and garlic, and Tabasco sauce.
This is how this is how you tell that it’s   a good bit of pizza. Don’t flop.
Don’t flop. Oh, yeah. It’s good. Right. I I do know 
my pizza quite quite well. So, let’s see. Yeah.
So, the base is just like   really thin and crispy and you can just get like 
it’s more cheese and tomato. It’s so good. So, it’s like it’s not dry cheesy and there’s 
not much crushed overpower in it. Very good. All right, I’m going to add some 
toppings. Oregano. Love oregano. some chili flakes. There you go. I’m making 
the pizza 10 times better. And you got to add some palms there.
You’re upgrading it.  I am. Some Americans might watch 
this and be like, “No, no, no, no. Up the oil.” Then that is really good. I’m trying to tell you.
I expected it to be soggy bottom. It’s got a good crunch. Oh, we like the cheese stretch. 
So, yeah. That’s really nice, actually. It’s delicious. 
Wish we got one each. Now,  we have got a bit of a cheese 
pool there. Look at that. Oh, before you start hating me on the 
comments, I did just Google it and cuz   I had a second brain wave. I went, “Oh, I 
want a better American.” Yeah. So, good. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I know. 
I know. I got it wrong. I’m sure you’ll tell me. Right. New York pizza done.  That was banging. It
was good. That was like 10 out of 10. That was really 
nice. I really enjoyed it. Cute little place.   A little bit moody in there. They ain’t really 
got the spirit of all the other happy people. Yeah. No, they not. That’s why we stuck. We went 
Japan, not America. And we didn’t leave a tip. Oh, yeah. We didn’t, did we? This area more has 
like South America kind of vibe, like the bright colors and all that. Like Columbbo and
Columbia.  Columbia and all that kind of stuff. 
Tacos over there. Bagels. Bagels. Tacos. I think maybe they’ve done that. They’ve 
done a like south of the border area. This   does definitely feel more South American. 
Yeah, 100%. If we didn’t try this left, I reckon loads of people would have said
hate. We get pure hate. Why does it say do not enter? Don’t know really. 
Oh, what you going to go for? Uh,
you having a cone?  Yeah.
So,   single scoop is 400 and then 70 extra for waffle 
cone cuz you don’t want one of them rubbish ones. So, you got all these other flavors, but 
how do you put I thought you could put   Mr. Whippy on top of it. Maybe not. So, you 
just put your cash in there. Why it working? There you go.
That’s all good.  Maddest thing I’ve ever seen.
And then your change comes out. 60. Thank you. Thanks.
It’s mental. I haven’t even got to deal with anyone.
Look how busy it’s got since we’ve been here.  It’s us, was it? Thank you. There 
you go. That’s how quick it is. Oh, mate. Nice. Why are the seats in 
Asia so low? Like near nearly sitting on the floor here. You were dramatic. 
All right, I got the chocolate fudge one. M. Look at that. Good size. Oh, that 
is good ice cream. M. What’s yours like? So good.
Does it taste like pistachio?  Yeah. You got the um almonds in there 
as well. So good. Oh, that is well good. I feel like mine’s a little bit better than yours. 
No, mine’s I like chocolate. I’m a chocolate girl.  Yeah.
All right, let’s walk towards the beach. Yeah.
I’m guessing we can walk along eating ice cream.  Yeah. Who’s going to stop us? Although like we’re 
obviously enjoying the food, enjoy the pizza. Uh, it has got lots of American vibes, but I 
wouldn’t say it reminds me too much of America. No, yeah, they’ve obviously made an effort. You 
get like the fire hydrants are everywhere and yellow cabs and stuff, but just don’t know.
Like you saying a minute ago, I haven’t seen one American flag.
No, I haven’t.  No, which is true.
Which is mad. But yeah,   that is mad. It wouldn’t Like if this was 
America, there’d be American flags everywhere. But yeah, not one. M hurry up and eat 
your ice cream as well. Mountain melting.  It is melting. We’re so quick. I feel this 
could be the hottest day we’ve had since we’ve been here, though. I’m having one 
with this ice cream. It’s mountains like I can’t peel the thing off. quite a lot of the time like you find somewhere 
where you can just like imagine yourself like settling down when you’re older. Oh well. Yeah. 
Like I was saying like sometimes you when you’re traveling obviously we’ve done this for 4 years 
and been so many great countries. The countries   that I like love and I could I could move to 
forever. But you always find sometimes you find a place where you can see yourself growing old. 
And I want to say this island is a place where I’d love to like retire. It seems like such a cool 
chilled out place. Definitely. And the time we spent there. We’ve only been here what, 3 days? I
think so. Yeah.  Yeah. 3 days. And yeah, I just just loved it 
here. It’s just really just a real nice vibe. Yeah. I highly recommend it. 
Instead of sticking to all the  mainland
mainland   busy ones, go to these little islands. Yeah,
I’ll definitely come back to Jan and explore all the 150 islands surrounding it.
All of them.  All of them. That’s on my bucket list.
Yeah, cuz it’s such a different vibe to obviously the mainland’s great as well. Like 
I can’t recommend Japan enough to anyone that wants to visit it. Um but yeah, the these 
islands are so different. I mean, it’s the same in any country. You you get the same vibe 
in Thailand as well with the islands. But yeah, we really really enjoyed this. And look where we 
are now. Look, beautiful setting, turquoise water. Going to grab a bus now. We’re actually heading 
to our new accommodation. It’s about an hour and   a half away from us, so it’s further up the 
island. But this is a luxury five-star hotel we are heading to. So, I cannot wait. We’ve got 
pool, we got dinner included, breakfast, even lounge access. So, make sure you don’t miss that 
cuz that is going to be fantastic. So, subscribe. And I’ll tell you what, it 
is just like it is just like Oh, it is nice to get away from the busy sea. All 
right. So, now we’re going to get a bus. I think we got an hour and a half bus journey. The the dot 
here in Ottoara is that’s not even how you say it. I went and did a bit of shopping at 
Donkey Quinn. I don’t know how you say it,   but I love the movement in there.
I heard you say Shong Shon. All right, let’s start again.
You’re facing the wrong way.  Am I Is it that way?
It’s that way. Yeah. Driving. Proper nice day today. Look at the Wow. I’d 
say clear skies. There’s few clouds about

Japan hit me with more surprises than I ever expected… From high-tech toilets to rules I never knew existed, this trip was full of jaw-dropping culture shocks you won’t believe.

Join me as I dive into the most unexpected parts of everyday life in Japan — things that even seasoned travelers might not see coming. Whether it’s vending machines that sell everything, silent subways, or bizarre hotel experiences… I wasn’t ready.
