We should pay her extra for the singing
Hey everybody, it's your grad student friend Anming here again I might be a
student in China and Japan but everybody deserves a break so here's my
recommendations for a good place to relax it's really hard for me to relax
in Okinawa when I'm so afraid of fish
but the fish thing might be my own personal problem so I need to get over
that anyway we'll be looking at the Philippines and Japan and comparing the
two places and seeing where you would rather relax so let's get started with
Okinawa as you can see behind me we're out in the middle of nowhere I mean
nowhere I wouldn't think this is Japan because
there are no people it doesn't look like Japan at all
but it is welcome to Okinawa in the middle of nowhere in the northern island
or northern part of the island of Honto. As you can see there's not much going on here if you want
to escape people you're at the right spot. Don't worry about walking in the road there's not
a lot of cars coming through here I think maybe in about an hour there will
be a car so we should be good welcome to "inaka" (countryside)
it's far
you guys I got a boo-boo already I cut my finger it's still better than going
tumbling down these stairs
Welcome to Hiji Falls in Okinawa Japan. It was quite a long walk. But this is worth it! You should come too!
What you seen now is an Okinawa sunset. It's really pretty. I'm impressed.
this place is really nice from the snorkeling to the sunset to just everything
it's really nice it's much more expensive than Thailand or the
Philippines but it's pretty good. I have to say and very clean it's probably the
biggest difference between the Philippines and here but you're also
paying about 10 times as much or more for certain things.
hmm
I'm staying in a capsule hotel for the first time and that's surprising because
I've been in Asia for a while right now I'll give you tour this is our capsule
hotel that's my room and I'm the only one here because I guess other people
have lives and stuff to do they don't just make GoPro videos in the middle of
the day because they're enjoying themselves but I just got here so what we have is
all these capsules and we're gonna be sharing this with six different people
so I'm one of them and you have to make your own bed you climb up here and it kind
of looks like this not too much to see here but it's gonna be cool I think I
should be able to sleep alright because I've lived in places like this before
alright it's the middle of the day I'm not going to bed but see you later
everybody
We are at Okinawa Ryorikyoshitsu (kitchen classroom) making some Okinawa soba today and
it's probably a lot harder than it looks and we're making it from scratch so it's
probably gonna take over an hour. So next time you eat soba then remember
people worked really hard to make that
it looks like Mount Fuji
this is supposed to be a rectangle it is this is a rectangle yeah this is a
rectangle yeah in my definition mine I'm doing a little better than the
other stuff
The soba is now cut up. I don't know if it's gonna be beautifulbut it'll be edible
nobody's gonna get sick from the soba we made now we're boiling it
that's extra. Let's drain the water.
Drain the water. Shake it a little and flip it over on the tray and put the noodles there.
Then you pour about one tablespoon of vegetable oil. About two circles.
And you mix it with the chopsticks.
Well, this is what we need with a lot of help. Actually we've got a lot of help didn't we?
I don't know if we can actually say we made this. We were told every single step.
Looks good. Yeah it looks wonderful
Itadakimasu!
Zuruzuru! Oh suck in that soba. Suck it in.
we're on our way now to a secluded little waterfall here in the Philippines
outside of Manila by Laguna Lake which is the biggest lake in the whole country
of the Philippines we finally got a quiet moment we're followed by a bunch
of Korean tourists
these guys are doing a really good job I just have to say that they know what
they're doing it probably do this five times a day
yeah nice job hey yeah okay we're about to go under a waterfall.
Awww, crap!
We survived!
did you enjoy seeing me get crushed by that waterfall no I was a lot of fun and
so is the hiking and the Philippines and in Japan as well but the big difference
was we got driven all around to these remote places and got a full tour for
only a hundred dollars versus Japan where we had to do it all by ourselves
and figure it out so definitely you're gonna pay a lot
less money in the Philippines and have a good time
as opposed to Japan but maybe you'll have a little more to worry about about
food and water and whether or not we're gonna get sick from it but all in all
I'll give it over to you guys if you need to relax like I do from
writing this graduation thesis where you gonna go you're gonna go to Japan are
you gonna go to the Philippines comment down below where would you like to have
your vacation hey thanks everyone I got to get back to work now
Waseda University's homework and Fudan University's homework is piling up!
see you later
