2024-06-27 17:10:43 +0000 UTCI have often said that Japan is a paradise to everyone that asks me about my trip. I always say if they were not confined to that island then they would rule the world and I would be perfectly ok with that. A beautiful and disciplined culture full of good people. The US is garbage in comparison

2024-05-18 01:38:01 +0000 UTCThe escalator rule is definitely practiced in the States as well.

2024-05-10 17:25:42 +0000 UTCOne thing that really emphasised Andrew’s point of loneliness for me is that I spent three weeks in Japan and didn’t learn a single persons name, like at all. Not really a massive deal but it kinda illustrates the point idk

2024-05-06 17:24:08 +0000 UTCtbf everyone does that. Plenty of Japanese people have a rose tinted view of Western cities too after a short vacation

2024-05-06 12:14:58 +0000 UTCI was in Japan for 10 days at the end of February, absolutely amazing country wish I could have gone longer. Bathhouses are god tier and he’s right the fashion is great! You can tell everyone takes pride in themselfs and the country. Beautiful place I wish I could have made it to harijuku but I didn’t have time!!!

2024-05-06 09:46:58 +0000 UTCTo be fair, Charlie seems to be working on a lot of projects lately so maybe doesn’t have time to. And then Kaya is married so it could be he’s going on these travel trips with his wife. I do agree though, it would be nice to have them meet up for a special event or something.

2024-05-06 03:02:17 +0000 UTCyeah i hate how american and ignorant he is, his 11 day trip is used as a summary for the whole country when he went to 3 places there.

2024-05-05 23:36:22 +0000 UTCI gotta crush andrew’s image of Japan a little. There ARE very extremely crowded trains in Japan/tokyo. But generally only during rush hour or if there’s a big festival or event. And only in the direction towards people going to work/the events. Obviously if you’re going the other way it’ll be fine. Some of the trains I used to ride to work were so crowded I couldn’t fully inflate my lungs. Once my feet weren’t even touching the floor, I was just being held up by the sheer force of the people crushing me. The trains don’t come every 30 seconds. More like 3-6 minutes later during the peak hours. But it’s not as easy as “just taking the next train” maybe you’re timing it to get to work 15 minutes early, but if you miss one train maybe the next one is a local, not an express, so it’ll be much slower. So you take the local or you wait for the next express and you lost like 6 minutes. Then maybe you have to transfer and you have to take a much later transfer train because you miss the one you usually take and then maybe you lost another 6 minutes and now you’re almost late to work. Unless you’re planning to be like 30+ minutes early to work every day it’s kind of a time pinch to “just take the next train” especially if you need a specific train (either a local, express, semi express, etc) so you might have to wait for a couple of trains later. Also the escalator thing is on really in the Tokyo (maybe Kanto?) area, and then the opposite around Osaka like you said. In Kyushu where I live now it is a free for all and people stand on either side, or stand two people beside each other so nobody can pass them. There’s no rule about standing on a certain side or walking on a certain side. And walking in general on the escalators is very rare in Kyushu. Also there is plenty of countryside in Japan where it’s just nothing. And just fields or whatever. There definitely isn’t buildings and stuff EVERYWHERE

LordLeo19
2024-05-04 22:13:25 +0000 UTCWhy don’t all the boys meet up again , or at least Charlie, Andrew, and Kaya now that they’re all in America. It’s as if they’re not friends outside of the podcast anymore 😂. I constantly hear about Kaya traveling but never to Florida

2024-05-04 18:01:34 +0000 UTCBro idk why but episodes where Andrew just tells his tales are always like 10/10s

2024-05-04 10:47:57 +0000 UTCHey guys! Just to answer the question about steller blade real quick, the reason why it's happening is because apparently sony had edited the outfits without the concent of the developers. Personally don't have a problem with it but the devs/director are absolutely pissed
