good morning we're in sendai right now here for the whole day beautiful day
once again first things first i've got to find my friend sharla who just moved to sendai
and i don't know that much about sendai so the adventure begins
i'm really sure we're supposed to meet around here somewhere check out this tiny little shop too and
i i wonder if he does he know he's got a no right he's got to know that's open
i turns out he didn't notice it's all right we gave him a heads up closed it i
should be meeting sharla somewhere around if if i've got my location right you know what
keep things fun i do want to find her before she finds me yesterday i did a whole thrift
store thing here in sendai went to like five six seven thrift stores and i got her a little
she has no idea all right let's see let's see if we can't find her first
and literally just as i said that i think i saw her come around the corner over there
what wait a minute oh there she is it's right there
she's calling me right now okay
hey
there should be a family mart to your right yes
get away from here there's hornets everywhere i don't know where their nest is really
yeah where's the car uh i think it's this way
so that's how how's sendai it's really good um i was a little nervous to move to a new city
honestly because you know how much it looked yeah and i was really sad to be leaving it
and it felt you know a little risky but i'm really really glad i did it's it's really good
um i was mostly worried about it feeling too city i was scared of it having the tokyo vibe
doesn't um that at all one of the last times that i came out here was right before the world
when and before that was nearly it was like 2007. oh my god no way gone into matsushima i
have a gift for you that's all i'm gonna say i have this well you can't don't look don't look
you can't come without bearing gifts in japan but you know i've done so
many like adventure style solo videos yeah my god you've just gone everywhere
it's nice to have a partner in crime for the day yeah same honestly i've been busy moving i haven't
really done anything overly fun recently so this is great speaking of which elephant in the room
we've been promising people a camping trip forever we're supposed to be coming today
i think today was our our decided camping day wasn't it or yesterday yeah but honestly with
the way the weather's been that was probably a good idea to push it forward a little bit
for those who don't know japan's actually been hit with torrential rains and flooding
lately and actually the area that we were gonna go camping in nagano yeah
that area got hit with floods and landslides like three days ago even up here in sendai we
had warnings about flooding so it's just spread throughout the entire country hopefully it
um stops soon we have a little break in the rain today so things look really really nice right now
i can't remember the last time i saw some blue sky it was weeks ago like at least three weeks
sharla
i came all the way out to sendai you brought it what is this it's good you're gonna like it it's
called tokyo interior but i've never even seen it they don't even have this in tokyo no i'm so
lucky you're gonna love it you're gonna be so jealous all right fine let's take a quick peek
all right so we were in there for like three or four hours i made a whole video if you guys are
interested in our furniture adventure i'll link it don't show anything that you bought spoilers
they had everything in there yep so right here under the sail sign it says
which means it's always this price love it arguably that fake sales might have even been
the best part i did buy some of the items from the fake sale they got me just roped her right in
i spent yesterday in the city yes get a little bit out of the city
so how does this car rental thing work that we did today we used like a different type of car rental
that i've never done before and i'm so confused we just like picked it up from the parking lot yeah
this one is like a car share so i've got like a monthly membership or whatever okay so you need
a membership to do it yeah and there's like a map and you can choose a car from the area
and then how do you get into the car you notice i went yeah the card so that would work on any
car that you have reserved yeah yeah it's cheaper than renting from like a proper like rent-a-car
place right sometimes but long-term rentals are much much more expensive like a day trip like this
yeah but i could be better a day trip it's easy peasy and if you only want to rent it for like an
hour or two hours most rental places you can't do that right that's true yeah okay makes it easier
i think so it's called like the the backyard of sendai as you can tell it's very like countryside
all of a sudden it's really close to sunday but um it feels like you're out in the mountains
i think i saw a path down this way let's go i gotta remember to lock the car
these guys are all so happy
this one's singing
oh it is
it's massive the rice is coming along nicely if you've never seen a rice field
super up close you can see the water down there there's often frogs and whatnot in the water
and you can actually see the little grains of rice there i love it so much i think this
is the pathway here looks moderately sketchy a little spidery i'll go first i'll go first
listen to the cicadas
when i think sendai i always think of matsushima and the boat tour which i kind of wanted to do
today but i also thought it might be nice to do something entirely new yeah which is why we
come out to explore this area and what is this i don't know it looks like a graveyard i don't think
butterfly
camouflage charlotte has just been finding butterflies and moss non-stop
oh there it landed you can see it better
i think we're this way
terrified of getting a circada in the face
they're not scary because they don't bite or anything but they're so loud oh [ __ ]
[ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] you just bumped into a hornet's nest with your shoulder go go go go
holy [ __ ] about
oh no oh see this is why i'm walking first
get out any other way sharla's saying she doesn't want to walk back past the horn
it's not like they're going to remember us it's not like they're going to be like it was them
the pathway is so narrow i think there are other ways out
oh wow
i want to go like rafting
i guess it's not one of those gorgeous that you can boat down
you
