Emma, your videos are always so wonderfully put together. Speaking for myself, I think this one might be your masterpiece, at least so far. Even at 25 minutes I was never bored, and honestly, it flew by, and I could have easily watched 25 more minutes. I could see these videos being very much like watching a reel of somebody's holiday snaps and how dull that would be, but your narration gives everything so much life. Brilliant, as always.

Hopefully you did get a chance to visit the HSBC Rain Vortex waterfall at Jewel Changi Airport this time or if not, hopefully next time.

We did a similar itinerary in 2020 just prior to COVID. Singapore to Yokohama on Diamond Princess. One of our favourite trips that we've done.

As you say, it's so easy to get around and everyone is happy to help you out even if you don't speak the language.

I used to go to Japan for work, I would fly into Tokyo and take the Shinkansen (Bullet train) to the city where I worked. On the weekends, I would also take it back down to Tokyo to explore. One Shinkansen trip, there had been an accident on the tracks and we were 6+ hours late. The JR Train staff were so mortified, we got free round trips to come back to Tokyo. Other than that one train, I've never been late.

I was very interested to learn about this cruise, and I truly enjoyed the journey vicariously, while knowing that I could never tolerate the heat and would be miserable if I ever venture to that part of the world. It's the Faroe Islands for me, on an Oceania cruise in 2025. Dressing in layers can provide relief from cold, windy weather, but when it's too hot, there's nothing you can do (well, without breaking decency laws.)

I was in Hong Kong in 1991 with the U.S. Marine Corps as part of a Navy/Marine Corps good will visit. Hong Kong was still under British control and our ship was moored at what was then HMS Tamar. I took the tram that she mentioned up what was called at the time Victoria's peak. Would love to visit Hong Kong now. Also visited the Kangaroo Pub, an Australian expat bar that's also likely gone. Good times!

I miss Japan so so so much! We found that after 2-3 drinks, the japanese our age that spoke english fairly well, would make contact with us in a heartbeat. My beautiful travel companion probably helped that. But we where invited to join small groups of friends to bar crawls and their favorite food spots several times, and it was a blast every time. All of us had a million things to talk about, both cultural differences, politics, school system and professional life, crazy stories, and what not. Not the young people in business attire that looks like robots, per say, but the "normal" people. Tokyo ❤
