In Taiwan we saw them from early to mid March! I think we went March 3 and 17 to Yangmingshan. It varies annually though because it depends on temperature and stuff. :)

@@IfWeGoTo great! Thanks so much..planning to go on 11 to 14 March 2025 follow by Tokyo thereafter..as Sakura blossom in Tokyo 2024 was very much disrupted by Climate change..hope to take a glimpse for the very least at Tamsui as the weather there tends to be warmer which is easier for sakura to bloom. :)

Anytime!! I think the climate in Taiwan is a bit more stable given its location. We saw the Sakura this year in Tokyo and they came so late we hardly to extend our stay! Hopefully you catch them in Taiwan!! If you’re near Taipei I cannot recommend a trip up to Yangmingshan enough!

Oh that's so cool you helped build the transit system!

Hi!! Here is the listing www.airbnb.com/slink/0CW8bYbG Happy travels!

Oh you know what, I just checked the availability and it seems like the host has turned the property off. So it may not be available anymore.

Oh, had no idea! Thanks for the correction!

เราก็คิดถึงประเทศไทยเหมือนกัน! เราหวังว่าจะได้เยี่ยมชมอีกครั้งในเร็ว ๆ นี้!

Wow, thank you! So happy to hear you enjoyed it! I hope you get to make it there - it is such a unique place to visit!! :)

Wait… we were absolutely not making fun of him or his children in this, so I don’t understand how you interpreted it that way? We met with him multiple times, even before we left the island we made a point to stop by. He told us many stories about how he was the first white man to have married a black woman and have mixed children on the island… and how it affected them. At the time was unheard of and taboo - causing issues for him and his family, which he shared a bit about. The race did matter in this case, because he was the first person in the history of this place to truly break down the racial barriers that existed at the time and make a change. We thought that was kind of significant to meet someone who literally made history there, so we shared it here. We had a chuckle not because of that, but because he had 22 kids!! 22! Could you imagine having 22 children? That’s so many?! That and his direct descendants alone made up 1% of the islands population. We found that to be an interesting fact/unheard of in most places. We had a laugh about it *together* with him because I think anyone who’s parented 22 kids could have a laugh about the absurdity of it. There’s a whole television show about people who’ve had less than him! Laughing had nothing to do with the race of his children though. Also, I don’t know if English is your first language or not, but saying “that’s crazy!” is a response to a situation that’s amazing/unusual/unexpected.. etc. it’s not an insult or bad thing in the slightest.

@@IfWeGoTo you just confirmed your rude arrogant passive personality I typed in English why would you interject that in your response that's totally irrelevant. To me you're indirectly trying to question my intelligence. The moment you got on the boat you laughed about the seats being covered in Airline seat covers. This might be a vlog and or your bread and butter ; Good luck with! However dont let it be at the disingenuous expense of belittling carribean people! Respect that the way of life is different even if you can't identify with the "absurdity" !

@@nkiah4315 well.. it is relevant because we’re a travel channel and we have many people who watch/follow don’t speak English as their first language. Misunderstandings happen all the time of the time due to differences in language. It can be very nuanced. It has nothing to do with intelligence and it certainly wasn’t a slight at you, we were only clarifying. Having 22 children has nothing to do with where they’re from. It’s a lot of kids for one couple anywhere and for anyone’s genes to make up a significant portion of the population is impressive. Also in regards to the boat thing.. it was kind of cool/funny to have recycled those and see airline seats being used so far away. I don’t really understand anything to be upset over? lol. It wasn’t making fun of anyone or anything at all. Are you just searching for things to be angry about? Tbh it just seems like you’re projecting your own disparaging thoughts of other people. Like you think people are less intelligent because they don’t speak English? Big yikes.

Ohh thank you for your recommendations! Next time we visit we will have to give them a try!!

We enjoyed Efteling & especially the landscaping, but just prefer Disney as a park overall. It's ok to have different opinions and ties to a children's amusement park. This really has nothing to do with history.

What's up? 👋

Ohh ok got it! I guess next time we’ll have to tip them well! 😆

Oh ok got it!! Thank you!!

It was not pleasant but unfortunately it happens with plants/fungi sometimes, so we tried to be understanding! They did comp the bill even though we didn’t ask them to! 😅

@@IfWeGoTo i would throw up if i ate flies, did u?

@@pinkhairblackman8141 we were a bit grossed out, but no hahaha… we’ve eaten insects by mistake on multiple occasions! I think traveling has helped us with our grossed out reaction a lotttt. We’ve had our fair share of dodgy meals now lol. 😅 in one of our videos we willingly ate scorpion and live shrimp… couldn’t handle the juicy bugs yet though 🤣

Thank you so much 🤗 It was so beautiful there!! Also thank you for sharing about the plant! We were not sure!

Thank you for writing this in the comments!! We visited but I can't remember why we did not include it in the video! Maybe we did not film that day. I agree, it is fantastic!!

🙈😂 Hahahaha! You are probably right! 😂 Thank you!!! So happy you have been enjoying it! <3

Thank you!! It was hard to choose whether to go long or short, but short seemed better for now! If I recall onion, garlic, leek, udon noodles, cabbage, green bell pepper, mushrooms, carrot, spinach, beef slices, and seasoned it with a bit of soy sauce and pepper! You could probably find them somewhere! Maybe trader joes? They're called King Oyster mushrooms, they're super good!!

ありがとう！！ はい、わかりませんでした。銃声や花火もあるかもしれない。 しかし、私たちは beaqrs が問題であるとは知りませんでした。 😱

We know about the countries but really only big cities. It is like thinking of the USA as New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles there is so much more to the US. We tend to be US centered and don’t think about the bigger world picture other than famous places. I think Brandi and Alan do an amazing job of showing us parts of the world we never conceived of. At least for me personally.

Hi! I think most Americans are familiar with Asian countries. Something cool about the USA is that many many people have immigrated there over generations, so it's truly a melting pot of cultures, including much of Asia!

Ohh I think you will enjoy one of our upcoming videos!! (A spoiler - we did visit Shimoda!! It is soooo beautiful!) Thank you for sharing!!

I think you will enjoy it!! :D

Ohh that would be beautiful!! Thank you for sharing about it!!

@@IfWeGoTo you’re welcome !💓

It’s gorgeous!! I’m surprised it is not more popular with foreign tourists! Yes, we suspected maybe hunters or a range.. maybe even fireworks but we could not tell. Oh Alan would love to have a restaurant! He is a great cook (at least when he is relaxed!!) hahaha Thank you so much. I think we might need to give that a watch too! So many people have praised it highly! We were told it was filmed near here too!

@@IfWeGoTo Perhaps its location is relatively remote, and ordinary travelers don’t want to go too far! As for the sound of the gunfire, it is better to look at the bright side, so it must have been fireworks! If Alan starts a restaurant, the business will be very good. I hope I will have the opportunity to make a reservation! You can watch that series when you have time, after all you both like Japanese culture! 😍👌

Wow thank you so much… comments like this keep us going!! 🙏💕

Wow we had no idea, it’s impressive they can last so long naturally!! Thank for for sharing this. Yes, we think it was probably hunters too!

Wow, thank you so much!! 😊💕

Thank you!!

Thank you very much! Izu has been beautiful, I’m surprised it’s not more popular with foreigners!! Hopefully no more hunters next time, but hey, they got us ahead of schedule! Hahaha

lol, "cooked"

Hahaha yes!! Maybe we should film it more!! We do eat out a lot, but we try to cook with local ingredients at home too. We always just thought it was too boring too include!! 😅

Their first language probably isn’t English. As a travel channel we have viewers from all over the world and written mistakes/mistranslations happen alllll of the time. 😊

@@IfWeGoTo no making fun intended! I was looking at it as a WECD reference lol

"baked" lol

Thank you!!! ☺️

It really is! Thank you!

Ahh thank you!! Hahaha lots of people have said he looks like him! We have not seen Tokyo vice though, is it worth it?!

@@IfWeGoTo There are trailers you can check out on KZbin to see if it's your cup of tea. Based loosely on the real experiences of an American working in Tokyo around the turn of the century as a reporter who is assigned to the crime desk wanting to investigate stories a little more deeply than his Japanese colleagues are inclined to. Highly watchable with several interesting characters and depictions of different slices of Japanese life and society. Anyway, look forward to your next video adventure.

Ahh thank you!! Glad you noticed - we always try to use regional music! :D

Welcome!! :D thank you!

Agreed!! It's a great little cafe!! :D

To each their own.. in our opinion it was the worst thing we’d ever eaten! (And Alan has a pretty gnarly gag reflex, he does this with most seafood too lol) According to many of the comments we may have gotten a bad one or maybe didn’t have proper toppings. Maybe we’d try it again if someone local showed us a verifiably good place… maybe lol.

@@IfWeGoTo yeah the one they served me got some pickled cabbage toppings with chili paste and ginger soysauce maybe that helped. I bought it in Huaxi night market in Wanhua District.

If we try it again we'll definitely do it the right way!!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions! 🤗 Thank you for the tip about the best fries!

Wow, cool!! Thanks for sharing!!

Wow thank you!!

Same to you! Thank you very much!

Hello!! We will be in Korea for the first time next week!! We’re so excited!!

¡Muchas gracias, espero que puedas tacharlo de tu lista también!

I had no idea! I guess after spending so much time in Europe we were a bit churched out and were a bit put off by the expensive price to enter a place of worship (when most are free or a small fee to help with upkeep/restoration) - not realizing there was a museum inside. Still not sure how extensive it is or if it’s worth 40 euro or not. Many of the dedicated museums in Europe are much less than 20 euro each. I agree with the comments though, we went about this in the wrong way. We saw it more as lighthearted sarcasm not realizing people would take it so seriously and prefer travel vlogs that are only ever overtly positive - even if it’s dishonest to an extent. (We’ve even switched to doing more of this because of the pushback) Anyways, hope you can forgive our blunder in this case and find someone better suited to your tastes. We have varied opinions, make jokes, get grumpy, and make mistakes… there are people who literally will never criticize anything out there too though!

It’s really great right?! Thanks for stopping by!

Yes!! I thought that was so cool to learn!!

Thank you for your warm welcome!! 🤗
