THANK YOU EVERYONE!
I wanted to thank everyone on Patreon for the support to make this episode. I put in an extra week to edit this and a few extra days on the island to film this. It wouldn't have been possible without you!
One Patreon was upset about not having early access to this episode and I apologize. I didn't know anyone would like early access to videos so I'll post them here in the future.

Roppongi Live Stream at 6pm (Japan)
I'm meeting Peter to go to the Belgian Beer Weekend Festival in Roppongi and you're invited - to the live stream :) it will start at 6pm (Japan) / 5am (New York) / 2am (LA) / 11am (Paris) / 2:30pm (Mumbai) on the ONLY in JAPAN * GO channel.
Basically the worst time for the USA! (Sorry) The stream will be about an hour or longer though. It's less about the beer and more about the people and event in Tokyo.
I go to this every year because my friend is the organizer and he's done an inc...
Tomioka Silk Mill & ... Red Wine?
I just finished up 2 days of shooting at the Tomioka Silk Mill in Gunma Prefecture (90 min from Tokyo Station).
It's a historical place but that doesn't mean it's boring. Well, to be honest, it sort of can be if you're not into history but knowing that these sorts of episodes can be - well, boring - I had he mindset that THIS was the place to be and had some fun! The area is SUPER RETRO! I mean, time stopped in the 1950 and 1960s! The Mill itself is a world heritage site but the places aroun...
Peter's House Tour
I'm really thankful to have had a chance to tour Peter's house. I've seen a lot of house tours and wanted to live stream it to make it different. In Tokyo, there are a lot of laws and rules you need to follow to build a house. Peter has lived in Japan for about 20 years and the mark that you will be here for a while is not just having a family here but building a house and setting down roots. No one invests in people who won't be sticking around. Building a business and life in Japan takes twice...

Let's go to Ginza!
On the weekend, this area turns into a wonderful pedestrian area where you can walk the streets with no traffic, even lounge on free chairs under an umbrella in the middle of Chuo Avenue! I did a live stream walking from the new GINZA SIX mall to the Apple Store and then Yurakucho. Good tour but there's still some more to explore here! I'll have to bring my friend Jennifer here for some golden ice cream!
