Good morning world!
Good morning.
Today the travels in Japan continue.
We're leaving Osaka behind.
So we're saying goodbye apartment.
You've been great.
Yes, it has been a great apartment.
And we are going to be traveling to Tokyo by bus.
Yes.
So we are going to show you the budget friendly option because the bullet train was not cheap.
And the other trains were not cheap.
Yeah and we booked it last minute yes so the bus was probably a third of the price of the
train.
Yes.
Literally.
It really was.
Literally.
So yeah let's go.
We've got a metro to catch and then a bus.
We'll show you the journey.
Now the fun part going down with all of our luggage.
So when I said we were here bright and early I was not kidding.
What train are we catching?
The 533.
It is the first metro of the day and we are here waiting for it.
I think we're the only people around here.
Wow.
A moment of zen in a Japanese metro station.
My goodness.
Update!
Update.
We are now transferring to the red line to Midosuji.
Let's continue.
So we made it to the bus terminal.
What is this right here?
So apparently these are sample seats.
Sample seats.
The ones on the bus should be just like that.
So let's test them out.
Alright try them out.
Oh check you out.
And there is the little something something behind your head.
If you want privacy.
Privacy.
From you?
Hahaha.
No from sunlight.
Anyways these are comfortable.
I have a feeling I'm going to be catching up on some sleep because we woke up at like
what four something this morning.
Yeah.
It was early.
Yeah.
Tired.
So I hiked over to the 7-11 and grabbed us a little breakfast.
Breakfast.
Want to show us what I got?
We have bananas.
Bananas.
We have a chicken avocado sandwich to share.
What is this?
This is bread.
Japanese style I think it is sweet bread.
And we get one little each.
Like pineapple cake?
One little bun each.
Oh okay.
Thank you.
So that should tide us until lunch.
Hello time for an update.
We made it to our first stop.
Yeah.
We've been driving for an hour.
Now we get a 20 minute break.
20 minute break.
Grab some snacks.
I know.
There is a restaurant.
There is a neat food court in there.
There is a 7-11 but uh yeah we're still pretty full from breakfast so I think we'll wait.
I still have bananas and leftovers.
I think we'll wait until lunchtime to get some more food.
Ho ho ho what do you got?
Lots of bread.
Lots of baked goods is what we went for.
Show us.
So Sam got some kind of tart.
Cheesecake-y thing.
Yep.
I got some kind of bun with cheese.
Bun thing.
And then in here we have some stuffed pancakes.
One has red bean paste and the other one has red bean paste and custard.
Going in for my bun.
How is it?
That is great.
Yeah?
It has caramelized onions so it is a little bit sweet.
Yum.
Lots of cheese.
Gotta like that.
Nice little snack.
Moving on to mine.
And this is this looks just awesome.
This is a thick pancake.
You can't believe how much red bean paste they've stuffed in there.
This is actually heavy in the hands.
Oh I think we had this in Nara.
Oh yeah.
Right.
The stuffed pancake?
Oh yeah.
That is so good.
I think I'm like I've always really liked red bean paste but I think I'm growing even
more fonder of it now that we're in Japan.
It is 12:30 this is what our 3rd stop.
Yes.
Wow.
This trip has gone really fast.
And it has been a lot more scenic than I expected.
Yeah.
Like I'm not sure why I didn't expect it to be that scenic.
Mountains.
It has been gorgeous.
Forest going through these quaint little towns.
We've also gone through cities.
Yeah.
It has been an incredible journey.
We've had nice weather.
And these stops have been really cool.
Like these I don't know what you would call them.
These rest stops.
Yes.
Are massive.
And there is just so many things you can eat and snack on.
And each time we were given like 20 or 30 minutes yes so I think we're going to grab
another little snack.
More food.
More food we're just eating all day today.
So what did we get?
We got more food.
More food.
This is a convenience store lunch.
I chose that one.
Matcha ice cream.
I think this is some kind of tea.
I have no idea if it is sweetened or not.
And some sushi.
Sushi.
Woo hoo.
We've got the bus within view.
Yeah.
So we can see once they start loading up.
We have about 12 minutes to enjoy this.
There you go.
So quick question.
How much were the bus tickets?
The bus tickets I believe were about 55 bucks.
Yeah.
So 5,500 Yen approximately.
It was about a third of the price of taking the train.
A third of the train.
Yeah.
So we've been enjoying it so far I'd say.
In we go.
Sushi time.
How is that sushi?
I have to say convenience store sushi in Japan is pretty good.
Huh.
It is pretty good.
Yeah, it is definitely better than convenience store sushi in North America.
Haha.
The wasabi is potent here though.
Wow.
You put a lot on.
Mmmm.
Oh wow.
That is so cool.
It is even green on the inside too.
Oh, so it is like a wafer.
Yeah.
I thought it was going to be vanilla in the middle.
But that is awesome.
Double matcha.
That is double matcha.
It is a mean green.
Well.
We are here.
We arrived.
We arrived early.
We did.
So yeah.
It was a wonderful surprise.
Like 15 to 20 minutes early in fact.
Yeah.
So pretty good.
And the nice thing is the bus terminal is right across from the train station.
Yes.
The train station is right over there.
So let's go see our new home in Tokyo.
Womp diddy womp womp.
Tell us what happened?
Oh my gosh.
Spill the beans.
We need to lose our pro traveler status because seriously this has been a rough trip.
You need to.
What happened?
Now we've just arrived in Osaka.
No, in Tokyo.
We're in Tokyo.
I'm unpacking.
I can't find one of my packing cubes that is like full of socks, underwear, bras, bathing
suits.
It is all gone.
All?
I thought it was just underwear.
No.
All my undergarments.
My bathing suit.
Oh my gosh.
My socks.
None of it made it here.
Hahaha.
And this is crazy because I'm so good at checking apartments to make sure nothing is left behind.
Yeah.
So okay so tell what you like what you've tried to do to problem solve it.
I've emailed our host on airbnb to see if she is going to mail it to me.
And we did like that place so we're actually thinking of staying in Osaka for a couple
more nights maybe staying there when we fly out.
So hopefully they can recover those but in the meantime.
My favorite bathing suit we need to go shopping.
My bathing suit.
Well at least we're not going so sad.
I don't see us going to the beach anywhere so.
No but like the springs.
I know you are supposed to go in naked but maybe we can.
I don't know.
I really don't know.
It is just I can't believe this happened.
I should have checked all the drawers.
I had a feeling I should look once more.
It happens to the best of us.
Like no matter whether you're a traveler or not.
Or just in everyday life people lose stuff all of the time.
So we'll get you some new stuff.
So now guys we are on our way to the metro station to meet up with a friend.
A friend that really we saw 3 weeks ago.
It hasn't been that long.
But we're meeting up in Japan.
Going to be hanging out.
Sam is super pumped.
Walking like a man on a mission.
Man on a mission.
So here we are.
Okubo Station.
Hey hey.
How is it going man?
Good how are you doing?
Good.
Roberto Smooth back in action.
It feels good to be back in action.
It feels good to be back with you guys and it feels great to be in Tokyo.
So cool to be in Tokyo man.
So good to be in Asia.
And we haven't mentioned this but we've got a month like adventure together.
The three of us are teaming up and we're going to be shooting so many videos.
On our channel, on his channel.
Which is Stop Having A Boring Life by the way.
And on our Spanish channel too.
Hello.
Awesome.
It is going to be a really good time and to say I'm excited for this.
Understatement.
Well let's get you checked in man.
Let's do this.
So Rob our first meal together.
What are we having?
We are having conveyor belt sushi here in Shinjuku Tokyo.
And I'm excited.
I know.
I'm ecstatic.
The three of us have brought our appetites.
Have I ever.
We're being tempted by all of this stuff coming by.
Everything.
It is good.
it is hard to film and not eat so let's just get to the eating.
Let's get involved.
