I found a way that I can drink Red bull with a mask on.
Maybe
Success
Ok, or I could just take it off while I drink it.
That works too. Because there's nobody around.
Welcome to Peace Street.
That's a really good name for a street here in Japan.
Peace... coexistence....
You can't think of a better name than that.
That's the best name they could possibly think of for this street.
So this is in Ikebukuro.
There's a lot of Chinese restaurants here. Let's see what I can find.
Man there's a lot of people from the Northeast here.
I love it. Those are my people man.
I spent a long time living with people from the Northeast of China.
Even my roommates are from there too and come to think of it
when I lived in Beijing, I also lived with people from the Northeast of China.
It's just kind of like my group.
My go to group.
So what makes them different from other parts of China?
Well, it's cold up there so they're pretty tough. They're used to cold weather.
They don't mind it. It doesn't bother them.
They tend to be the funniest.
They are just the most open and funniest of Chinese.
A lot of comedians in China come from the Northeast.
So, they're just really funny and extroverted.
They're extroverts for sure. And that's what I like about them. They're not so shy. And they're just kind of cool.
I just like people from the Northeast, maybe because it was the first place I lived
when I lived in China. It was Harbin. So anyone from there has got a special place in my heart. And that's that.
I'm not gonna take the train. I can just walk back. It's about 30-35 minutes if I walk fast.
Whatever, it's good exercise. So, a little over an hour round trip.
WOW! It's getting really hot in Tokyo.
Well, not yet. In about a month it will be really hot here and humid and sticky.
And I'm not going to want to go out and take a walk.
Maybe in America it wouldn't be considered walk able. It's pretty darn far.
I've got to take advantage of these opportunities to walk and not used a bike because in about a month, it's going to be way too hot.
Not gonna want to do that.
That's going to be so humid. Alright, let's go.
This is the new park they've made. The Global Ring as it's called.
It's for the Olympics, which are not happening this year, but
it looks way better than it used to look a couple years ago they really cleaned this up.
I used to work right over here.
My office was here. I could see this park everyday.
It was kind of a park for people to drink in. But now they've really cleaned it up.
Some people used to drink and play cards here.
I wondered where they went and then I saw them. They just moved spots.
But they're still in the city for sure. They're drinking and playing cards somewhere else.
There's Rina san.
Hi
So we're getting crepes here. And it's really cool because you can eat outside.
There's a bench and that's perfect.
Oh that's really good isn't it?
Don't forget the hand sanitizer.
I prefer like Western guys. The masculine ones.
Like they have muscles and are tall.
Thin. Yeah, that's quite popular, but that's not your type.
You like the manly men. Do you like a beard?
YES! You like beards. Well that's very rare.
What about you?
I don't like beards.
Good thing you don't have ice cream. It would have melted.
Hi! Hello!
You're filming me filming you.
