Incase you wonder what this means - we had messages from our Japanese followers as there was a problem with the Japanese subtitles so we are telling them it is fixed now - Love google translate :)

[@yonoe1472]

Thanks for the Japanese subtitles!

I’ve been in the same job 19 years now and as a 59 year old its looking very unlikely id be retiring anytime soon do to not having the golden opportunity but i still live in hope. My midlife crisis brain decided to adopt a 1 year old Welsh Border Collie from the RSPCA last May thinking she will help me to get of my butt and start exploring the Uk with her as my last Dog who sadly died last October and I miss going to the various places and holidays with her. Well I took Millie with me to Cornwall as Id booked two weeks away last year which was for me and the Dog who died but we only lasted one week there because i quickly realise I can’t take Millie anywhere apart from going back the next day to apologise for her behaviour 😂, yes she has issues 😢 She is beautiful and very much loved and well worth taking many hours each day working on her in hope she will learn manners and become more stable so we can start going to places. My fingers are crossed. What your doing is not insane, its called living your life to the fullest with no regrets. I love watching you adventurous life. ❤

[@TREADtheglobe]

Oh wow she sounds very much like a collie !! So intelligent and mentally ready for anything !! We hope to meet her one day - and no apology required - she can go crazy we love dog snogs and cuddles 😂😍

[@sammayet9002]

Wonderful, epic and amazing ❤❤❤❤

[@ianwebb2235]

TAKAYAMA!!! A place of huge significance to us..... We had our first romantic trip there = 11 years or so ago.We love the town. We stayed in a ryokan - the traditional Japanese inns....It was a magical experience for us both. I am home alone today, my wife is away working in Yokohama until the weekend. I could watch and love this video and my wife would not complain if I did.....However have to stop watching now , as I know she would love to enjoy this together,,,,as we did on our own visit. Ahhhh we are enjoying your videos and wish we had found them earlier. Thank yo so much and we will watch at the weekend....mata ne....

Thank you 🌺🙌

Thank you so much for sharing wonderful Japan. I miss it so much - a special country, kind people and incredible history. Belated お誕生日おめでとう Chris. 🎂

Lovely video. The food looked great, the old village museum was exquisite. You and Marianne looked so relaxed. See you next time.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Kathi 🌺

[@doublerfanatic5641]

Kyoya Restaurant, brings back my memory in 2018 as we had lunch at the same place. Well done Chris & Marianne you went to the right place for Hida beef, the food there is magnificent and super high quality.

[@CB-sx8xh]

Not sure if it is a midlife crisis, but as my parents are getting on and need more help I've cut back to working 2 days a week to spend more time helping them and the remaining time keeping up with house/garden as best I can and doing some trips in my Hyundai imax with DIY bed set up... and researching wonderful adventures like yours!

[@davidmahan4160]

Oh wow, what an amazing video. I love the awesome traditional Hida folk village. Great video. Thanks for sharing. 😊❤

It's good to see you doing Japan justice by staying long enough to really see the country. A midlife crisis can be a positive thing as long as you listen to it and don't ignore it.

Another great video 👍. I only discovered your channel about 4 weeks ago and I’m loving it. My wife and I have gone back to the beginning and we’re about halfway through Turkey now so still along way to go. But I’ve watched all your Japan ones now as I love Japan.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Japan village life

[@apumpkinsmom]

I'm absolutely loving following your travels. It's really giving me the travel bug. I never thought of it as a midlife crisis, but I'm doing things things for myself that I never would of in the past. I think the most "mad" thing I've been doing is traveling thousands of miles to go to concerts of musical artists that will never come close to performing near my small Texas town.

[@nickergun4943]

Hello Ambassadors I loved the setting of the Yakahama and the village you walked around. It was so beautiful. What a life they must have had back then. Thank you for bringing these beauties to us. We love you❤❤ Be safe!🇹🇷🇹🇷🙏

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you so much Nick xx

[@TasteofRetirement]

I think you have made the right decision--going through Vietnam/Malaysia/Thailand would make more sense than India and Nepal. You have also made the correct choice of having BBQ beef at Hida Takayama which is their specialty in that area.

[@nickthomas181]

Happy Birthday Chris!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Nick - we had a lovely dinner out and a few beers !!

[@gantry289]

Loved this video. You both where so much more relaxed than the last one (narrow road) and went to some interesting spots. The food looked great! Maybe put a warning next time so that the viewer can wear a bib so they don't drool on themselves watching you eat. The village was really interesting and very inexpensive to enter. It looked like you were the only ones there!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Aaron-P]

What a tranquil, charming, idyllic town!! I felt my shoulders relax just from the images, in person must've been amazing. Lunch looked amazing too, but those images only made me hungry! 🤤 Are you guys crazy for doing what you're doing? Maybe not crazy, more like kind of goofballs (my favorite kind, by the way).😁 ❤️❤️😎👍xx

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wonderful! We are delighted to be goofballs ... and yes we are your kind of goofballs !! LOL xx

[@tonylee9040]

Hi Chris & Marianne, great video as usual, I know it hard work editing exploring videos especially when you on the move, I too bought a motorbike and camper van (self built) for my mid life crisis, I think when you’ve had your family and they’ve grown up and left home we all have to fill that void as you’ve been in that raising family zone for so long, but blessing to you and your family and just a thought before you reach your deathbed pls also think about you salvation and where you go after you had a great life 🙏🏻 keep those great adventures coming, God bless.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Have you had or are you having a midlife crisis. Tell us about it - did you do something mad as well - share your stories with us we'd love to hear them, Chris & Marianne xx

hello! been watching for some time and made me miss my road trip in japan in june. if you can familiarise yourself with these characters, would really help with driving: 止まれ/tomare - its usually a red sign in a triangle. it means stop. a local advised us to always stop even though there are no cars. 円 - yen, the currency, money 分 - minutes so the sign said 20分２００円 so it means 20 minutes 200 yen :) saying hello from singapore 😊

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you for the tips 🙌

[@davidwong9230]

Those miso drums…handy for drumming up business. As for how well that works, I’m being really koi 🐟

[@ianreid]

Thailand is beautiful been 2x and son has been to Cambodia and he said thats amazing. One thing Koi means carp so you are saying carp carp

[@dontparkthebus4302]

By now, you are probably noticing that it's getting warmer and more humid daily. You will be constantly sweating buckets and losing salt from your body, and maybe getting heat stroke :-( Please eat some salt candy, ume boshi and miso soup (you can get them at 7-11, etc.) daily. Also, I think the southern route will be better/ easier. In China, they might think that you look suspicious or maybe spies, and get arrested. Please take extra care of yourselves. btw, I really love watching your travels. You are a wonderful young couple :-)

[@nanaontherun1968]

I'd be so much more excited to see you go through SE Asia. Hope you choose that route!

[@TREADtheglobe]

We are excited to see what is open for us and the more overland the better for us 🙌🌺

[@owen8681]

It seems a bit hassle to have to do the sea transport for Trudy the van. What a grand adventure, regardless of the route.

[@arjenblom]

great episode again, it seems that Chris is a bit short of breath, is that the lack of exercise ? 🙂. Enjoy your trip, you should still have some good weather to enjoy. In the meantime, I am following the travel route updates, hoping it will be Malaysia and maybe Singapore? it would be my pleasure to meet you in Singapore and be of assistance if needed. Bon Voyage

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks for your offer - yep he has AF and is on a betablocker - so this also does cause this but has a check up in 8 weeks time 😉

[@sogawa7]

In the 1800s, the first American envoys visited Japan, and according to one theory, slippers were developed to be worn instead of shoes when they entered Japanese houses.

[@martjebicker9168]

[@ankeseegers5155]

You like historical places, so before you leave Japan, you have to visit the mountain Kurama Yama. The mountain is located 570 meters above sea level on the north-west side of Kyoto. It is considered a sacred place by Buddhists and Shintoists. Good travels and thanks for vlogging it all so we also can enjoy it.

[@sarahthomley7419]

I don't think mid life crisis is a thing really, I just think if you're quite a busy sort of person and retire from a job or career in your mid to late 50's as my hubby did you need a way to occupy yourself, so people with active minds like to challenge themselves that's all. It's usually a good thing in my opinion. I've struggled to retire 100% as I'm 6 years younger than hubby. We plan to explore a lot more in Turkey and in UK now.

[@ziggy_bandicoot]

Chris I hate to be the party pooper but seriously please get checked out by a cardiologist. Your breathless walking is exactly how I was before I needed heart surgery.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you - yes he is ok, but has AF and is on a beta blocker - which as you know can cause breathlessness - but he has a check up in about 8 weeks so we will keep you posted 😉🌷

[@567davefair]

may I inquirer as to why Marianne is always in the drivers seat?

[@rztrzt]

Because men can't ask for directions...

[@567davefair]

The reason I ask is my failing eyesight is probably going to end my 40 year driving career and my Japanese wife is going to have to pick up the reins as there are so many places here in Japan we still want to visit. We traveled a lot together on my Harley Davidson but a back injury put an end to our bike trips😢

[@apumpkinsmom]

They have discussed it in a past video. Marianne is just more comfortable and relaxed in the driver's seat. Kris does drive sometimes. My husband and I are the same way. I'm a very nervous passenger, so I almost always drive when we're together in the car.

[@567davefair]

Whether it is a mildlife crisis ,l had to settle up at 40s in a new country by leaving all the things l have. l had to do it because there was nothing that l could do. In addition to all the things ,its been very challing learning second language , adaptation to a new country,making new friends,trying to take a part there and much more.l have been happier than l used to and getting used to all those things now .If l gave advice those who are same as me ,it would be "never give up " keep going ,smiling and always dreaming where you wanna see yourself in your life
