I wanted to release this on the weekend but ran out of real estate - it'll have to come tomorrow since I have to take a family photo tomorrow and can't look like I was up all night. Dang! SO close - Peter sent this tonight and I think it's worth an extra day. Enjoy the teaser of the Miyazaki Midori Chicken Farm. I don't think another YouTuber would go this far to humanize food LOL Let me know what you think. 2023-04-30 16:26:27 +0000 UTC View Post

Wonderful news for the channel and our growing community of travelers. Thank you for being with me on the adventure from 2017 on this channel! This experiment has come so far. I’m asking for help to clip the top scenes from the last 6 years for a special summer episode. It’ll be fun to watch back the moments! 😂

Hi everyone, I've been sick the last 48 hours, Leo & Kanae are both in bed. I'm feeling much better today. Sorry to be out of touch. I'll try to go live later this afternoon - back to editing. The great thing about having a son at daycare is that you get more chances to strengthen your immune system :) always look at the bright side. I went to the doc and got medicine. The checkup cost 1080 yen and the medicine was 520 yen. The Japanese national health care may be under water but it sure ...
