Monkey Video / reupload tonight

Hi everyone, we found some awful pixelations in the morning bath scenes caused by Adobe with the 8K downscaled export (I think) it must have been too much data for those few seconds - so I have to reupload it tonight. I'm sorry for those who didn't see it the first time and I hope those who saw it the first time rewatch :) to the end of course. I made a few other small changes.

MAY 2022 Postcard Club - Shizuoka Green Tea Harvest!

This month, we turn to Shizuoka, home to half of Mt Fuji (shared with Yamanashi) and Green Tea! Lots of it. I filmed here last week covering the tea harvest on the slopes of the hills. It was an incredible experience for a coming ONLY in JAPAN episode. I'll add in Matcha Tea harvest and how they make that too for food and drink consumption. These will have a special spring stamp and be sent on May 13th. Exciting Spring ahead!! Thank you for being a part of the Postcard Club!

Patreon Q&A April 2022 (While Editing)

Hi everyone, this was a tough month. I was sick a lot, Kanae and Leo both have fevers and we’re at the start of the holiday. I’m finishing up the snow monkey video (honestly, this has been on the cutting table for what seems forever!) so ask away and watch me edit a bit of it as I try hard to release it tonight! See you soon. -John
