ええ、いいな〜 there's one tree across the street from our current apartment that is going kaboom and attracting a lot of cell phone pictures.

Went to Meiji jingu today, wasn't too many out. Some random temple in harajuku had heaps going. Took the past few days off work but going back tomorrow, there's a nice park on my bike to work.

Kyoto's slightly busier than it has been but nowhere near pre-COVID levels. Strap in for Wave 4 though friends.

I can't wait to be a dumb waste-of-space tourist again  Spent most of 2020 and early 2021 watching "walking around X" Japanese youtubes and it kind of fills the void in a surface-scratching way.

Rambalac is good, there's this guy who mainly wanders around and throiugh train stations and their surrounding neighbourhoods and rides the trains on occasion, Nippon Wandering TV is also one I'm subscribed to. Then there's just videos of random poo poo I miss about Japan like this channel that features random hole in the wall restaurants. I'm actually subscribed to a bunch of Japanese motovlogs too. Can't say I understand 99% of what they say but it's fun watching them ride motorcycles around okinawa or tokyo or wherever.

Hahah Rambalac is the one that got me started watching these types of videos too. Now I’m subscribed to four or five channels of it.  November 2022...

Rambalac fell off a bit when he went into the countryside for nearly a year. However, he's gotten better and now has two 5,000 dollar video cameras for low light. Over the years, for walking videos, I have added Bangkok69, Lazy Tourist, Nippon Wandering TV, Nomadic Ambiance, POPtravel, Street View Travel, Tokyo Explorer, Virtual Japan and a few others (though they don't focus on Asia as much).

I’m literally sitting here watching some dude walking through Yodobashi Akiba with a camera for 22 minutes and I love every minute of it. I’m a dumb dumb tourist so I spent a lot of time in Yodobashi because there was always so much to see and it was super overwhelming. Like when I wanted to relax I walked around Tokyo — when I wanted to jam as much HOLY poo poo I’M IN JAPAN in my eyeballs I would spend 20 minutes walking through any Yodobashi.

You guys might enjoy some of my friends’ stuff: https://instagram.com/cyclingninja?igshid=mw8khpn7tj42 https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC7hMaqgJOYUJ0hjVrnElzVQ He cycled the entire coast of Japan and is uploading days and days of video. A bit more cut up than the walking vids etc but a lot of good sights and content.

Yeeeep. Seeing different places is interesting to people. What's normal to one person is weirdo and interesting to another. My former uni schoolmates who became cabin attendants are regularly getting 10k+ views making videos literally just going to Starbucks and H&M and poo poo in the US.

Every now and then I watch another one of his videos, and he's a bit too cranky and judgmental for my taste. I prefer seeing people enjoying what they're experiencing, personally. It's not like he's constantly like that, but it's just enough to irk me. It probably doesn't help that I tend to do most of my youtube watching in the couple hours between taking edibles for sleep and actually falling asleep. So he's a buzzkill. But the walk around videos? GodDAMN those hit the happy spots of my brain when I'm high.
