BIZARRE 24 HOURS IN JAPAN - TROUBLE AT A TEMPLE [S8-E12]

[@TREADtheglobe]

Well what a day that was - Have you had any strange or bizarre experiences - we'd love to hear them - hope you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching - Chris & Marianne xx

[@rztrzt]

Will you guys be visiting Sekigahara?

[@lindascott2008]

I lived in Japan in the early eighties, teaching English, enjoying Japanese culture, and I lived in a very old, old style Japanese house in walking distance from Kinkakuji Temple aka the Golden Pavillion. One morning while still half asleep, I felt some Buddhist monk spirits come very close to me. They were observing me and were very surprised to see me, a foreigner. They were having a conversation about me, as I lay there aware of their presence. This was not a dream. This was tuning in to "the other side".

[@WANDERER0070]

Being a carpenter Im fascinated w Japanese houses and wood joinery that dont use any nails to hold house beams together so well,even earthquakes dont break those. 😊

[@ziggy_bandicoot]

Beautiful scenery.

[@wamiwami42]

The Kumano Nachi Shrine is where the first Emperor prayed to restart his journey to conquer and unite Japan 2millenials ago, after being defeated in a former war and losing his brother in a battle. So many people, including the current Emperor and politicians come to pray when they need a fresh start to life. It is one of the foundational shrines in Japan and thus is probably one of the most spiritual and powerful. So, I am not surprised that Trudy got some WD-40 to give the door a fresh restart.

[@ankeseegers5155]

Really special, you are so lucky that solutions are offered, despite the misfortunes. Happy traveling.

[@tamicox990]

I just love watching your videos. I’m SO burnt out watching South America videos which are all about seeing waterfalls and yet another hike😩. What sets you apart are all the amazing places you travel and take us along- the set backs you always overcome- the people you meet along the way and we get to share in their lives as well. You two must be as lovely as you seem on the screen because folk always invite you to dinner. I’ll be so sad when your adventure ends.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Tami - that is the joy of KZbin - there is so much for so many different people , who like so many different things !! Thanks for watching

[@davidblanck8852]

That's one of the three Kumano shrines. Did you manage to visit the other two? Together with Koyasan they form a UNESCO world heritage site.

[@geraldoyo1]

Attitude is everything. You two make such a great team!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you 💚

[@alisonb4898]

At a pinch a little cooking oil spray sometimes works ❤️

[@sogawa7]

The gods and Buddhas of Nachi will watch over you until the end of your journey.😉 A lubricating oil spray commonly used in Japan is kure 5-56. This is available not only at auto parts stores, but also at DIY shops and large supermarkets, and is inexpensive and reasonably effective. Good to keep.

[@kentm75]

Opening sequence was epic. So much thought put in, great execution, love it!

What a wonderful place. Thanks for sharing. Ps maybe use your magnets to secure a shade cloth or something over the roof window when not driving?

[@TREADtheglobe]

Great idea!

[@jan9562]

Could use the cloth over something like a shallow straw basket, perhaps, for some airflow.

Hi Chris and Marianne, we love watching you both on your Global Adventures and we pray that God will keep you safe on your travels and meet your every needs, whether that be when Trudie needs help or Chris needs respite from sleeping in the van when you are suffering from a bad back or free meals and drinks etc even a can of wd40 just when you needed it ! We are constantly amazed of how the Lord intervenes on your behalf, Abundant Blessings, Martin and Christine xx

Hi Chris & Marianne. There are youtubers in China and they put their videos out from there and we watch it in the UK regularly. I imagine, there won't be a problem about it, but it would be better to check from couple of sources. Good luck for your journey and we love your videos. Regards, Paul.

Quiz- How did WD-40 get its name? WD stands for "water displacement" (yes, it can be used as a lubricant (not really good for door locks as dirt and dust can stick to it) and can be wiped on metal to keep it from rusting. The 40 come from the formulations, it was the 40th formulation that the company decided was the best one hence WD-40. The temples where really nice and that water fall amazing! Thanks for another great video.

WHAT an episode!!!! mysterious forces at work there!!! Sorry you didn't get down to the base of the waterfall, that's spectacular too. But very happy to see all the temples/shrines at the top of the hill. An amazing place! And I can see the heat is starting to be a thing for you...and knowing that Japan was about to enter the hottest, craziest summer! Loving it all. (Autobacs young staff who just pointed at the machine in classic "gaijin avoidance" mode, needs a clip round the ear for bad service!!)

[@lauraguerra6450]

How incredible! You have to love traveling… I don’t think there is other experience that teaches you about hurdles, signs and weird luck as traveling does. About your route plans… a crazy idea came to me when listening to the China prospects… what about driving through Russia? I know, I know… not the most loved country at the moment but that would be epic, the landscape, the traditions, the architecture, the food, the people, I have never visited it myself but people I know that have, said that it was the best trip of their lives…. I know it is crazy but it might take you to the sea on the other side and reach home! Anywhere we will follow and may the luck be with you!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Hi Laura - thanks for the message - yes our original plan was Russia - but not anymore 👍

[@kirsimatikainen6527]

What a adventures😮

[@motivate-today]

Although it would not help with a valve problem, please buy a can of tyre repair solution. I bought one in 1978 before travelling around Europe for 3 years, kept it while working in the UK for another 2 years, then took it to South Africa, where I needed it another 6 months later. All the instructions on the can had, by then, been scratched off, but I attached it to the tyre, pressed the button and Hey Presto!, it worked and I drove off the beach. 600 km of driving later, I had the puncture repaired. Apart from that, almost all of the breakdowns I had were within metres of a garage!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Yep we have one in the boot in case we have two flats - but as you said - it was a valve problem this time 😉

Hello Ambassadors Watching this episode was really fun. You both are hilarious, lovely and great people 😂😂I think 300 yen did the job. Prayer is a prayer no matter what, don't you think? WD 40 the life saver! Akido part of the video was amazing. The guys was born 1883 the the spot was still there and protected. I loved that history. Thank you Guys! The mountain road was REALLY, REALLY NARROW. AS I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE, Marianne you are the onen when it comes to driving skills 😢😢 this is how I would look like! Love from Florida 🇹🇷💕🥰

Incredible views. but I have a thought. I don't know if you have a 360 camera, but you could have a dedicated channel for 360 views of the top sites you visit. This would make it even more immersive, particularly for those growing numbers of vr users. BTW 'Trouble at Temple' should be 'Blessings at Temple''. aka WD40 ;0)

[@paulphillips3783]

Hey guys. Sorry you've been dealt some curveballs! If you do go to China, post your hard disks home first. I've seen so many KZbinrs have theirs confiscated even after gaining permission. The authorities are most likely going to want to audit everything you upload (if you are even allowed to!). Please be safe. Your unfolding story is inspirational and heart warming.

Yes. My son got in trouble for taking pictures of forbidden things.

[@amandaharlow478]

Yeah I worry about this too. Even if the tour agency/government departments says "ok", you could just get some guy on the ground who is aiming to impress superiors by making a big deal out of it. I worry you'll get stuff confisacated...

Things getting heated there although I'd be curious to see how they get on there

[@random1231526]

In Japan, dashboard temperatures can exceed 70 degrees in the hot summer sun. Care should be taken not to leave heat-sensitive items or items containing lithium-ion batteries in the car. It is known that many cars made in countries with low humidity, such as the UK, deteriorate rapidly in humid countries. Please continue to be careful when passing through humid countries.

@@TREADtheglobe Your welcome. I forgot to tell you WD-40 is great for freeing dirty parts. It is not a lubricant like many people think. Because you drive in areas that attract dirt you need a dry lubricant. I don't know what they have in Japan but lube for locks and hinges that don't leave a oily mess that attracts dirt. Happy and safe travels.
