Flying From China to Japan Was a Crazy Experience!

[@matthewhildebrandt1901]

As an introvert, I can already tell I would be way more comfortable in Tokyo than in Shanghai. 🙂 As a member, I got the scoop on what's coming up, so I'm excited! As someone who's been bitten by the travel bug, Ben is causing my bucket list/travel list to grow by leaps and bounds!

When I traveled throughout Asia, I found three things unique to me: first, everyone was shorter than me, second, my haircut was different and third, my dimple in my chin! Asians revere education and always wanted to know everything about our Western culture. My favorite places were Tokyo, Taipei, and Hong Kong, because they were quiet, friendly, and mostly spoke English, especially the children! LOL Each generation spoke a different language, depending on who was in power at the time. I did have to get used to the crowds everywhere though. I enjoy your channel so much, it brings back so many wonderful memories for me! As you would say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you"!

@@stephencoutu2674 Asia is amazing, Stephen! It’s so so different to anywhere in Europe and the US so it’s a great experience for people to visit Asia. I feel like a giant everywhere in Asia 😂 the crowds are just unbelievable, it’s crazy there’s so many people living in the same place! Very nice people though, the world is an amazing place. Thank you, Stephen!

I am so excited that we are in Japan 🇯🇵 !!!!❤ And every time I watch Japanese Vlogs it just really cement the fact that I am the person I am because I grew up there. I crave quiet environments. I can’t deal with disrespectful people. Oh my God I wanna get back there so bad. I don’t fly. I’m sure I’ve mentioned that before, I’ve already looked at cruises that leave out of California. that can get me to Tokyo and I know that there is a ferry from Tokyo to Korea so I just gotta also figure out how to get from Korea to China. But either way all of Asia is on my list, but I’m so pumped for all the Japan Vlogs. And I’m excited to see what other countries we’re gonna see after this.😊 safe travels

I think Seattle and goes up to Alaska and then Yokohama I want to stay in Japan for a couple months and make my way over to Thailand, but I wanna hit a lot of countries in between since I have to go by boat, I definitely want to stay a lot longer like when I go to Europe next summer I’m trying to stay three or four months. That’s the plan anyways.

Cool 👍 I was in Tokyo recently for 5 days. So different from China! I love the vending machines and I tried out 3 different capsule hotels. Navigating the subway and the different lines can be a nightmare though 😂 it’s such a cool city but also strange in so many ways with the mix of politeness and craziness of the insanely bright nightlife areas and maids everywhere 😂

@@middlekingdomproductions you pretty much summed up Tokyo, Adam 😂 crazy and chill at the same time. Completely different to China in the way people act and the streets not being overrun by scooters. Both interesting but very different!

Good morning, Ben ! Benny in Japan ! Wow ! Nice country, with courteous and friendly citizens and lots to watch since it is culturally rich ! The noodle and fried dumplings just look nice and homely ! Japan adopted Chinese written language and slowly simplified to what they are today !

Were you able to find a jacket that fit you? You look like you would be much taller than the average Japanese person in your videos, but I could be wrong. I’m of Chinese heritage and very short by American standards, and I think that even I would have trouble fitting into Asian sizes. I’m also starting to think that you are quite the gentleman as women in every country so far are beautiful. 😉
