In China! ... heading back slowly 🚢

Peking Duck Dinner! It’s a touristy thing to do here, but in Peking, you have to have the duck, right? I arrived yesterday afternoon and will be here for the day then return to Japan by boat from Tianjin to Nagasaki. I’ll be back in Tokyo on the evening of the 19th so I’ll be able to reply to messages then. I’ll certainly share some photos and stories with you in the next Q&A this month! John

Catching up with Kev and Shingo!

So happy to get a chance to share some ramen and hike a little in Kyoto’s countryside (Kibune) with Kevin Riley and Shingo who’s helping me film. Perfect day for it too! Back to Tokyo I’m a few hours.

Lost Patreons over 🥩 ...

We lost several long term Patron supporters over the last meat video. The thing is — it’s sort of a video to respect the life of livestock while alive and thus respect the meat more and maybe eat better sourced meat, which is all actually good! ... but opinions are strong and I understand the times we live in. I know I may not always make content that you support but I do try my best not to be divisive in my choices. Wagyu is one the most misunderstood topics because very few YouTubers do...

All about Dean Newcombe

I am pretty lucky to have some amazing friends here in Japan! Dean is one who has had an amazing adventure living in here. I thought I'd share his DEMO REEL to give you a look at what he's done - pretty amazing! I'd love to see his channel grow - he's been more focused on TV and Movies ... and magazine covers! But he;s got real talent and a heart of gold and I think that comes through when you talk to him normally like in our episode with the Drive Thru. He's focused on his channel runAway Ja...
