I love Japan. I am Polish. Japan saved 765 Polish orphans in 1920 and 1922. Around 1920, there were about 200,000 Polish in Siberia. Most of them died. Poland has asked various countries to save Polish orphans in Siberia. But all countries refused to rescue. Poland finally commissioned Japan to rescue Polish orphans. The Japanese emperor and empress at the time immediately ordered the Japanese to save the Polish orphans.Japan soon began rescue Polish orphans.The orphan was in Siberia. Japanese continued to rescue Polish orphans in Siberia. The smallest orphan that Japan saved was a two-year-old child.The orphan was crying near her dead mother. The Japanese immediately rescued the orphan. Polish orphans were sent to Japan for treatment. Japan fed the Polish orphans a hot meal every day. All Polish orphans have recovered. Japan continued to love Polish orphans very much. All Japanese donated money to save Polish orphans. Polish orphans were always smiling. Japan has successfully returned 765 Polish orphans to Poland. I will not forget this story. Thanks to Japan. God bless Japan.

There are many English sounds that don't exist in Japanese. One example is the "ir" sound as in "bird." The closest Japanese sound is "ar" as in "hard." That's why "bird" comes out sounding like "bard" when many Japanese say it.

My nightlife tip, don't go bar/club hopping, get drunk, and charge it all on your credit card. This guy that was staying at the hostel when I was in Tokyo was charged something like $2,000 US for a night on the town. He called his bank to tell them that he was overcharged and they told him that there was nothing they could do about it. Make sure you use cash only, and don't get so drunk that you cant read the bar bill to see if they are overcharging you or not.

[@harrymcnicholas9468]

Always. Use your debit card for getting cash anywhere. Never to pay for anything. Japan use cash always

[@jama211]

I bet he was suckered into one of those girls bars, they'll always screw you over. Don't let the sketchy dudes on the streets on shinjuku convince you to go to one.

[@zerokn755]

I lost it at 1:44 😂😂😂 horse meat... Weee... Weeee. HORSE POWER!!!

[@carycoombe3380]

I loved watching this "old" video. Especially Ryotaro's antics.

[@befer]

The reason why you eat/drink ramen after a night out is because it helps with the hungover the next day. Greasy foods, and especially chicken broth REALLY help with th hungover, any slavic grandma will tell you this, this is also why in Poland "Rosol" is always cooked on a sunday

[@FrayJay]

"Why you moving away from me?" HAHAHHAHAHAHA I love Ryotaro

[@ERI_Clip-and-Snip]

The most interesting part in this video is *watching a Japanese man (Ryotaro) when on a drunk state*

[@savejeff15]

Thx for another awesome video! always fires up my interest in japan. really starting wanting to go to japan

[@rodney7780]

Ryotaro was awesome this was a very enjoyable video. Google Translate: 良太郎さん、すごく楽しかったです。 Ryōtarō-san, sugoku tanoshikattadesu.

[@Verlisify]

5:25 even though we only got to see them for 25 seconds its clear they are great friends

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

Oh gawd, bag-pen might have been the greatest thing.

[@BriaRoseK]

Haha. I'm actually excited now when I see commercials in front of videos. People are getting the money they've earned! Love your videos.

[@KaidaMizu]

Horse Power! I need this on a shirt!

[@maitland72]

I absolutely LOVE this series! I just found it this evening, and this may be my favorite so far!!

[@nutheenderman806]

watching your videos has made me want to move to japan even more. ive always loved japan and the culture, and my biggest dream in life is to live there

[@theonlyelena]

Ryotaro is handsome... damn...

[@suckkmycandles]

i would so let chris and ryotara run train on me..... just sayin

[@sexycesc]

I am sure he likes Western women lol go for it! :)

[@nikkif7201]

How old is he though? 🤔 I agree he’s very attractive but he’s probably too old for me 😂

[@nisamonchu]

he's 43

[@nikkif7201]

nisamonchu damn I’m only 22 😂

[@Baylaruse]

My mom has a crush on Ryotaro, so I'll definitely have to send her this video haha

[@jaw8216]

Sage Mirei thats beyond hilariously​!

[@tytube3001]

He likes young girls though, like most Japanese men.

[@Fractus]

If you take after her I'm sure he couldn't say no. #cringe

[@b.7669]

tytube3001 He didn't actually say that though. You can't generalize all Japanese men.

[@Baylaruse]

In case anyone was curious: Actually, I think it's because he looks a little like my dad but bigger/taller. My dad is Japanese and my mom is Caucasian. I'm half Japanese.

I have a useful tip for night life! Next time you attempt an eating contest, stand up when you get full. Usually works, makes you fit more in. Good luck! (Please make another 10000¥ bet, it really is amusing.)

[@epicrandomness3589]

I love videos like this, it shows how were all human, even more so when alcohol is involved

[@Plus7Charisma]

I'm glad you made this video because I'm living 30 minutes away from Hachinohe, and I had no idea where to go.

[@veralidaine97]

The lady from the first pub was so fucking ADORABLE!!! My girlfriend and I couldn't stop squealing like 5 year olds over a puppy! We will definitely be visiting her establishment when we go to Japan!
