[@bpcgos]

I missed japan, your vlog are the one that make me wanted to go to japan since I saw it for years ago, planned in 2020, but hold back until last year in November I finally able to go to japan and this year I missed to go back but unable to... What mistake I dint want to repeat when vsiting Japan in autumn is brought along lip balm ...lol. as tropical residents, the dry climate hurts my lips ...also never thought Autumn in subtropic four seasons country actually very cold especially when wind coming. Jacket I brought from my country cannot block the cold, so me and my wife bought another when we in Kyoto

[@RetroCore]

It's such a wonderful country to visit, I hope you can make it back soon.

[@dave4shmups]

Wonderful footage of a country that I would love to visit! What city were the Christmas decorations in?

[@RetroCore]

That was Kokurakita in Kitakyushu.

[@dave4shmups]

@ Thanks!

[@MarioMania05]

Great Video Mark, I wish I can visit. But knowing me I be running in everyone in Tokyo, My Coordination is off, So yeah

[@RetroCore]

Lol, yeah, Tokyo is very crowded.

[@Bloodreign1]

Ahh ramen shops, I had my brother take us to a local one run by a little Japanese lady. I loved the ramen and the experience, he absolutely hated it. They gave us shovel like spoons, the fool didn't like it so he got a traditional spoon, while I used my "shovel". Can't remember what he got, but I got a spicy miso one (and it tasted great), the only thing I didn't care for, the big ass block of tofu they served with it. I still ended up eating it, and the slice of seaweed that came with it, tasted fine to me, I should've told him it was lettuce.

[@RetroCore]

Lol, shovel spoons. I hope you friend wasn't trying to fit the whole spoon in to his mouth.

[@Bloodreign1]

​​@@RetroCoreIndeed, like the shovel on those backhoe digging machines. My bro just couldn't seem to come to task with the utensil, so he went regular spoon. Myself, I had no trouble using the unusual utensil.

[@Backyard_Wildelife]

Wow! Even Oktoberfest looks better over there Dude Always a bit grim and too beery over here, even in Southport Really need to get to Japan one day!

[@RetroCore]

Oktoberfest is wonderful in Japan. It's like a beer theme park. And best of all, no drunken low-life people ruining it for everyone.

[@mulreid]

Hi Mark, my favourite type of video of yours. I love it when you do these. I hope you don’t mind me asking a personal question but does your son get any discrimination for being part white? Merry Christmas to you and the family.

[@RetroCore]

Nah, he lives a very normal life. There's no discrimination at all against him.

[@mulreid]

That’s good to hear. Cheers

[@johnebbs3819]

I think you should arrange for all your loyal Irish supporters to visit you. FOC. 😂😂

[@RetroCore]

Lol, if I ever win the lottery 😁

[@johnebbs3819]

@RetroCore enjoy the hols Mark

[@RetroCore]

Thanks, you too 👍

[@JustPeasant]

Thanks to Mr. Smith, we now know that THE Backrooms are somewhere in Fukuoka. Built by US Federal Government after Japan's unconditional surender to serve as a clandestine location where the undesirables are removable from thr public life😶‍🌫️

[@RetroCore]

The Backrooms? Ah, the opening in the government building 🏛️ 😅

[@JustPeasant]

@RetroCore Yes. Rumour has it that it's also leased by Sony to hide a huge stash of unsold Betamax VCR units...😅😅😅
