We are leaving Japan!!! The final chapter... (Ep155)

It's all over!
After 11 months in the beautiful country of Japan it's time to leave.
After so long preparing for this day when it finally came we were very emotional.
Japan had become like a home to us and other than our home countries it's the country we have spent the most time since
the journey began.
We will never forget our time in Japan. The friendships made and experiences shared will stay with us forever.
In this video we take you with us as we make final preparations, clean the vehicle, deliver to the shipyard, take our Covid tests and fly to our next destination 😉🇹🇼
Costs included are based on conversation from Japanese ¥ to USD $ at the current rate (January 2021)

Awesome. Enjoy Taiwan where I was born but left when I was a kid. Please try the most famous stinky tofu and beef noodle soup! Can’t wait to see your videos 👍

[@fritzintroopy]

You captured the frantic nature of those last few days perfectly

[@thecolorlab7398]

So very glad to see you leave for the new destination, Taiwan, which is one of the safest countries regarding COVID-19. Emotionally charging to see your hurried journey. Hope you will find many new excitements there. Greetings from Korea.

[@WoodcockFamilyOverland]

Was really interesting to see the cost of everything!

[@Jottingsfrom]

You really had me sitting in the edge of my seat. And I KNEW the out come. Thanks guys - great video. Enjoy Taiwan.

[@benjaminwunsch-grafton9173]

Great to hear you are welcome in Taiwan. Taiwan is a great country, been there before. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@Noctilux2]

Taiwan is a lovely country, especially their people. I'm sure both of you will have a great time there!

[@Ihavebeenwatchingyou]

I can't wait for you to show us Taiwan! And then......???

[@gilliandearle9771]

Great video but felt very emotional too. It’s been a long time in a beautiful country with amazing people who genuinely cared for you. Can’t wait to experience your next adventure in Taiwan and can’t believe how already you have met such a kind caring person, being Arthur. Have a wonderful time and thanks to Taiwan. ❤️🥰😍

[@lexandluke]

Lucky that your only choice in travel destination also happens to be the country ranked number one in its handling of Covid (followed by New Zealand then Australia). You have to admire them - only 7 deaths with a population of nearly 24 million. Countries with enforced hotel quarantine for all returning travellers really have come through this pandemic so much better.

[@ericmassin6678]

Comme d'habitude votre reportage est génial. Le petit plus en donnant des prix de certaines choses est très instructif. Bonne continuation et bonne année à vous deux. Bien le bonjour de Belgique.

[@jeewanbhatt6168]

It was an emotional moment for u guys to leave Japan. But life goes on. Enjoy the stay n keep posting.

[@stephenfrench4417]

Heck Japan and Taiwan have their acts together coping with Covid in far more efficient ways than here in Uk wishing you both all speed and happiness in the new year

I can just imagine your mixed feelings, leaving Japan after 11 months and all the friends you made there, and arriving at an exciting new country to explore, and make more friends. This was a bitter/sweet video, where you captured what you are experiencing. Sending love and positive thoughts. Andrew C G.

Un peu stressant ce post, on flippe avec vous en le regardant. Partiront, partiront pas 😄🤔. Thanks a lot to Lee for this wonderfull hair cut ✂️✂️✂️✂️

[@runnersgarden]

Good choice! Taiwan has so much to offer!

[@yorkchris10]

On n'est pas trop loin de Cape York. Bon voyage.

[@PabloP169]

I have always enjoyed my many visits to Japan, but they were all business based. Great to see that you were able to move on. Just hope that there will be no problems with picking up and using Grizzly & Bear in a couple of weeks. The next step, getting back to Oz or somewhere along the way.

[@Nickle314]

A suggestion. When you put a back back into check in, you can cross the straps to they are tight to the sack. That way they don't get trapped and broken on conveyors.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

I think this was just a first to weigh the bags. After that all straps were tightened properly. 😀

[@bobjoncas2814]

bon voyage

[@BurtonsAttic]

Looks like you spent more on taxis than hotels. Been all over Taiwan for work, really great place to visit. The best dim sum ever and the highway rest areas are tops also!
