Haha!
Can we fit three people into a frame.
Let's see.
I think we can.
And this lamp is killing us.
Well good morning.
Good morning guys.
It is our first day here in Tokyo.
Yes.
The gang.
We're going to go out and have some lunch because it is a pretty late start actually.
We're going to wander around and basically check out what our first impressions are of
Tokyo, Japan.
And we've got our good buddy Rob from Stop Having A Boring Life to join us.
This is going to be fun.
So the mission will include food.
We're going to visit maybe some of the busiest areas in Tokyo, maybe some temples and show
you our neighborhood as well.
First meal in Tokyo and it is going to be Coco Curry.
Yes, we have eaten there before in Osaka several times but it is really good.
Yeah.
It is what we're craving and it is right here.
And Rob you've never tried this have you?
I've never tried Coco Curry but if you guys like it I like it.
Yeah, I'm confident you're going to like it man.
Cool, I'm in.
Today we are experimenting at Rob's request actually.
You wanted to try more than one.
So we have the cheese filled hamburger with curry.
Yes.
We also got a chicken cutlet with curry and the classic pork cutlet.
Ready for this Rob?
I'm beyond ready.
This is my first time at Coco Curry House.
Haha.
Uh huh.
Alright team the food has arrived and it is time to try it.
In we go.
I'm going to try this curry sauce.
What do you think Audrey?
It is good.
This is a classic.
It is what I've been eating all along.
Yeah.
What do you think Rob?
How is that curry?
How is that chicken?
It is good.
I'll tell you it is deliciously uneventful.
Haha.
That is what I think it is.
There is nothing less there is nothing more.
Yeah.
But it is good.
I feel like yours maybe the star of the meal.
I'll dig into that.
These guys already had food envy of mine.
This is the burger.
Alright Mister.
Alright so you guys have had envy about this.
I'm just going to break this bad boy.
Look at all of the cheese guys.
Look at all of that cheese.
Going in taking it for a swim.
Woah.
That is awesome.
That cheese is so good.
It looks gooey can you turn your plate around.
Oh my gosh.
It is super gooey.
Bring that over here.
Look at that.
Wow.
Super gooey.
Super tasty too.
Okay.
Alright so we are done eating.
Yeah.
You took care of that.
Especially you boys.
Price point for the dishes was about high 700 hundreds in Yen which is about $7 US dollars.
So yeah we've got our food in us and now we're ready to explore the busy side of Tokyo.
I'm going to be getting a SUICA card.
Uh huh.
This is basically an essential card for taking the train here in Tokyo.
Yeah.
It allows you to change between all of the different lines and you can just drop money
in and off of the card.
It is going to be perfect for us.
I'm going to get two of them.
Both for us.
Okay let's do it.
Success.
Tada.
Great success.
We needed some help but we figured it out.
Yeah we put a 1000 Yen on both.
Apparently the card itself is worth 500 each.
A little confusion guys what happened?
We were on the right train but we stayed on too long.
Alright guys so a little change of plans.
We were on the train on our way to Shibuya and then we realized we were at Harajuku so
that seems like a good first introduction to Tokyo.
We decided to get off and we are right in front of Takishita Street.
I think it is going to be all about the crazy fashion so let's go see it.
Okay I think we have made it maybe like half way down the street here in Harajuku.
Impressions.
What are you thinking so far?
The population density is off the charts.
Yeah.
We end up walking down a crazy busy street.
It is like a mass of tourists.
Yes.
That is the thing.
It isn't like a local spot.
No.
This is like all tourists with their cameras just like us.
Just like us having to experience Harajuku.
There is lots of cutesy little things like cat cafes and then there is interesting kind
of like maid outfits you can buy.
Yes.
Very girly fashion.
Yes.
But I haven't seen any of the outrageous outfits that I've heard before.
No.
So we're still on the hunt for that.
Full confession.
I only came in here to ride down the escalator.
We have entered the big camera.
This is heaven for Sam.
Kid in a candy shop moment.
This reminds me of B and H in New York City.
This is like a camera mega store.
And I'm just going to go around and look I'm not sure if I'm going to buy but I may walk
out of here with something.
Just saying.
This is the brand that we have but it looks like even better than what we have.
The Slik.
Slik.
Yeah.
It is not Silk.
It doesn't go very high though that is the problem.
Maybe that is why it is cheap.
Alright guys time for Shibuya Crossing in action happening behind me.
It is an intersection with like three different lights.
Maybe more.
A lot of people a lot of action.
What did you think?
That is insane.
I've never seen anything quite like it.
So we have left behind Shibuya.
The craziness.
The crowds.
And we've walked over to Yoyogi Park.
I'm feeling pretty tired.
We've been walking a long time and it is super hot.
Super humid today.
So I think the plan is to find some ice creams, some soft serve ice cream would be really
nice right about now.
And just a nice patch of grass so we can have a little nap.
A little update.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
Ice cream.
Someone has been craving ice cream.
Yes.
What kind are you going to get?
Chocolate.
I've got my ice cream.
Chocolate soft serve.
It was not cheap.
We paid 400 Yen which I feel like is quadruple.
It was ridiculously overpriced.
But it is so hot.
It was Audrey's idea and I got one too.
You got roped along.
And when it came I said I should have looked at Audrey's first.
Because guys it is okay but for 4 dollars yeah.
Maybe not.
What is going on man?
You just look like you're about to die.
I like choked on that ice cream.
Hahaha.
And then for some reason it all hit areas of my teeth that are sensitive at the same
time.
Which is a really unpleasant stressful experience considering we're in Yoyogi Park right now
and it is like really calm.
So I'm mellow again but that was just a horrible.
You know what?
I should have never bought that ice cream.
That ice cream.
There was a load groan.
That was a groan of pain.
Hahaha.
Now let me go back to filming these people having a picnic.
So basically this is like the stark contrast between where we were earlier in the day.
It was pure modernity pure madness in terms of crowds and just like this is a nice green
escape right in the heart of Tokyo.
So what do you think about it?
I kind of I totally agree with what you're saying.
Tokyo is nice because you've got the craziness of the Shibuya scramble and then less than
a kilometer and a half away you've got the peacefulness of Yoyogi Park.
Exactly.
It is a beautiful Saturday and well it is spring but it feels like summer.
Obviously it feels like half of Tokyo is here right now.
It is just relaxing and it is nice.
Alright guys so we're back at the apartment here.
We're chilling out with beers.
Cheers my friend.
What did you think of our first day here in Tokyo together?
I thought it was good.
I thought it was busy.
I thought we covered a lot of ground.
Yeah.
This isn't going to be a typical day.
That is we went full throttle.
And he says that now I have a feeling this is going to be a very typical day.
Maybe.
We're loving being here in Tokyo so far and it is Saturday night.
We have no plans to go out but we will say goodbye to you.
So cheers one more time.
Thanks for watching and we will have a new episode soon from Tokyo, Japan.
