[Music]
[Applause]
you know I give up again what an amazing
day this has been oh yeah I'm exhausted
it is nearly three o'clock in the
morning and you know what I don't really
trust myself in my current state to be
telling this story either so why don't
we go back a little bit and let a
younger earlier version of me tell this
story
[Music]
stop here stop here stop here listen I
know that tired and slightly and he
didn't expect them to just shut the
lights off like that I know that tired
norm sent you back he gets a little lazy
when he's been drinking I'm gonna take
over the story now for just a second
also Alexander is here he's right here
we're gonna go out and check out
senso-ji because this area and night is
just one of those things that you've got
to do when you first get into Japan also
I'm sorry it's so dark but the lights
are beautiful check it out and there it
is so how's it feel seeing you for the
first time in 10 years then beautiful
well I think it's missing something
are you thinking what I'm thinking yeah
good idea
good all right so as we said before the
whole day has just been filled with many
little adventures in fact just as we
came out to shoot this there's a bit of
a run in when you're not racing in a car
just a few seconds interruptions you
guys you guys probably know John how you
doing today good
how you doing after pretty good we keep
we keep crossing paths toad is a small
city you may or may not have seen him in
the comment section I'm pretty excited
about this and also I saw the bag I
think it's a one of a kind you're right
you see nosh was like I really want to
get the bag but I don't want it in pink
can you change the color over the white
not that there's anything wrong with
pink it was well I was the pink of my
jacket so it's a really aggressive thing
alright that that that's it for now
let's get back to it so that's been the
evening but where do you think we should
start the story of the day the ramen the
ramen okay you know what there was a bit
of an adventure there too well let's go
back again
[Applause]
oh so we're back here now are we hey
guys the one thing we are definitely
gonna have to do is get some food
most definitely I'm starving man so so
what do you want to do what do you want
to do for like your first meal back in
Japan let's go get some ramen ramen
sounds good I think I know a cheap place
let's set the bar low so I've got this
go to restaurant really really cheap
ramen and you remember where I used to
live when you visited me last time right
yes it's right near there if you want
Tokyo's most mediocre ramen you want to
find this street here called Hisako Dori
and ER this ramen shop oh no dude it's
closed 320 yen for a bowl of ramen guess
we have no choice but to go for slightly
better ramen I think there might be a
place out here on the Main Street since
I wanted to share something with you
guys in the ramen shop isn't even open
one of my favorite little streets and a
sucks ah is this here I know it doesn't
look like much that's actually a Street
this whole little Street right back here
is filled with tiny little yakiniku
Korean barbecue restaurant since you get
to this little like mini Street
intersection here you've got all the
shops and they've all got the stuff in
the windows food of these places can be
a little pricey ranging like 12 to 20
bucks for one plate of meat with just a
couple slices on it it's a nice little
local sucks a hidden spot in the
background so figured I'd share it with
you guys okay look we're really hungry
now so we get food oh yes
[Music]
so
second ramen shop also closed I don't
think you're meant to have ramen today
man we're just having any good losses I
see something over on the corner here
that says ramen shall we go check it out
absolutely awesome
looks like it's open let's go that
[Music]
I know I shouldn't drink all the soup
but it's just so good
Alexander drank all the soup yeah it was
good
mouthing him off that was some good
ramen oh yeah
extremely feeling also speaking of food
thank you for bringing that massive bag
of snack you're very welcome I was happy
to get it for ya Alexander brought me
like all of my favorite stuff or most of
my a lot of he brought me all my
favorite stuff and on that note this
seems like a pretty good time to go back
once more
[Music]
[Applause]
oh hi so we're back here now are we well
Alexander brought an entire suitcase
full of stuff for me so this might be
the second no third best thing about
having visitors from back home number
one you just get that time with family
and number two one of the things that
I'm looking forward to the most this
month is the ability to see Japan
through Alexander's eyes have that fresh
perspective in that outside look and
then number three the gifts and snacks
from back home what do we got what we
got what do we got this purse off kraft
dinner because well crap dinner ii you
can never have too much toothpaste from
back home jello baby the biggest dilemma
with these is deciding whether i'm
actually gonna make it or just eat the
powder body spray because the body spray
from back home is just better what just
might be the best chips on earth buffalo
wing and blue cheese and since the bags
popped in the plane and i'm just gonna
go ahead and mmm mmm i could go through
a box of this a day this whole bag is
swedish berries and sour patch kids all
my Welch's fruit snacks thank you thank
you by the way here very well there's a
whole other side my hazelnut cream
coffee beans just smells great there's a
cheap walmart coffee but it's really
good
Colonels popcorn seasonings and Golden
Grahams baby that's a lot of stuff man I
packed a real fall for you you did you
did thank you so much I appreciate that
you're welcome man speaking of takes me
back so we just got off the train got in
the house and started unpacking this
stuff but on the train we had a
discussion about a memory for many years
ago when Alexander first came to Japan I
think it's all a dream
[Music]
I'm actually really glad to see you like
looking out the window this time do you
remember the last time that you came a
little bit a little bit of a story the
last time
there we go there's Alexander's first
time in Japan from the moment we got on
the train PlayStation Portable and just
starts gaming doesn't even look out the
windows that I'm like what what are you
doing man you're in Japan take in the
sights and he's like uh-huh
that trend kind of continued like like
as we walked through Tokyo the wanted to
go to Kyoto and take a bullet train got
on the bullet train played his game for
a bit passed out woke up in Kyoto we got
to the hostel and he starts playing his
game and this kind of continued for you
were in Japan for about a month three
weeks three weeks three weeks
discontinued at the end of the trip I
turned Alexander I'm like dude all
you've been doing this whole trip is
playing your games you haven't really
been like taking in Japan why did you
even come and what did you say just came
to visit you bro boy did I feel bad it
kind of nailed me on that one so yeah
the goal of this trip is really just to
get some time together
I think Alexander has like a whole list
of stuff the one thing that I'm probably
more excited about than anything else I
don't know if we're gonna be able to
pull it off but we're gonna try camping
near Mount Fuji I have yet to go camping
in Japan
all right anecdotes are over since we're
here anyway let's go back a little bit
more because our Airport like a rival
greeting moment got totally ruined by a
TV crew
[Music]
at the arrivals gate my little brother
should be out hopefully within the next
like 5 to 10 minutes at least pretty
excited this seems like a pretty good
time for the emotional side of things
the excitement because that's what I'm
feeling right now the last time that
Alexander came to visit me here in Japan
was 10 years ago we did do a lot of
travel but I didn't document any of it
Alexander is gonna be here for one month
this time and we have so many plans the
biggest benefit is that this year I get
to vlog all of it could not could not be
more excited you know also I'm very
curious as to how this day has played
out like what has brought us up to this
point in the video
No
good so with the TV crew coming up to me
which is something that I wasn't
expecting we kind of we kind of missed
our moments who we should recreate the
moment we've got to get home get these
suitcases open and we got to grab some
food but for now let's do one last one
and go back and see how my day started
it's really brief
[Music]
and that brings us back to the very
beginning of the day I'm actually
getting ready right now
to head out and go pick up Alexander I
really hope that all this jumping back
wasn't too much it already kind of feels
like it might be too much either way I
hope you guys enjoyed the video enjoyed

that like button leave me something in
the comments and if you're new to the

would love to have you we have an entire
month of adventures planned this is
