- Expats living in Tokyo aren’t tourists. They don’t hang out at the Pokémon Cafe or Legoland! (That’s not even in Tokyo!) They have their own places secret to the outside world. In the episode with Peter von Gomm, we shall expose a few of them :) check out Peter’s Japan MotoVlog ▶︎ / @petervongommjapan

That pull-up contest was hilarious
He will see the playback and know he lost ... lol but actually it was so funny!!! We’re such idiots!! 🤣
It has been waited too long for another exiting, awesome collaboration with the legend, the one and only, Peter PvG! :D
This video had me in stitches 😁 especially the pull up competition between you and Peter
I've been missing too many live streams, dang. Good to see pvg again on your channel
The two of you are big kids and it’s great. Always wonderful to see you both in a livestream.
John keep up the awesome work. It is always a joy to watch your channel.
I missed the live stream but whole blog was brilliant
When I lived in Japan, it was so weird that I found that I needed to go to Disneyland just for a touch of reality
Excellent! I'm in Japan finally! Staying in Ota-Ku and it's nice and residential. Going into central Tokyo today. Cannot wait to explore more!
We love Peter!!!
You guys tied!! 😁 John, if you hadn’t done the last one separately, he would’ve beaten you by one lol.
16:00 - Our respect to PvG and JD pull-ups!
Yes congrats to Peter on the bike vid I loved it and the editing but mostly the girls!!! 😗
Love these vids when u guys go at it!! Nice chat guys liked!!! 👍
Enjoy your night guys!!!
So happy to see his channel grow!
I took him to Hooters to celebrate - for the chicken wings! Very spicy :)
@@onlyinjapanGO chicken wings john!!! 😃💋👀
Mrs . John thank s,very good vídeo.
I'm in Tokyo now, it's awesome
Was in Ginza earlier this week with my family. We ran into the same issues trying to find a table it was a Tuesday! We ran into a Lawson’s and ate. We hit the HardRock in Roppongi Monday night great American style burger for us.
Dear John and Peter,
I’m disappointed that I missed the most amusing and sparkling “花金”(weekend) livestream you two did..
Am I to understand that the kids’ playground which is not far from “Pokemon cafe” is the place Tokyo’s expat hangouts?
Thank you very much for this comical livestream, I enjoyed a lot.
My warmest regards,
One of your royal Patreon supporters Kiki✨
😁👍👏
Hey Kiki! We’ll do it again later this month. Have a few ideas 💡 gonna try to do more with other creators too.
Hurrah❣️🙌 thanks John, I’ll look forward to that👍🤩
P.S. really liked all live-streams in Miyazaki with lovely Kanae!! Driving around the countryside in Miyazaki is now one of my bucket list...🤗
Fun video 🇯🇵 Eight Burger’s in Shimokitazawa is a decent burger cafe.
Peter. always good to to see you back. John has been taking Kanae on some of his outings which is good. Of course he always eats like he has a tapeworm and never gains any weight LOL
Good stuff as usual. You took him to Hooters? :D None of that stuff here though.
The Tent bar,or SALA,in Tsudanuma was a legendary place..closed now..I spent over ten years there every night...just a tent put up illegally,was there for 18 years. Arigato Yuko San. Thanks for the memories.
I've been here! It was actually recommended by Google Tour when that was still a thing. It's super small inside, maybe fits 12 if lucky. Amazing craft beers!
Peter looks very refreshed wink
Peter did very well, John. Admit it. Ego aside!
Fun night. JD did you put a dream filter on this stream or just your greasy fingers all over the lens?
I totally agree with you John. Official man pull ups are at least 90% down. Overhand grip works your back and are recommended. Underhand grip work your biceps and you can't do as many as overhand.
Thanks for positive stream, John and Peter! You guys even can't imagine, how lucky you are. Because you can just walk relaxing and you don't need to be aware of someone of your friends could be killed by sniper, mortar or artillery shelling or something. Someday we will also have such a fortune in Ukraine.
The forgienos go to the death camps everyone!
Aaagh I spent hours wandering through ginza over Christmas looking at all the store displays.
Good evening John. Nice to see two kids fighting over a game :-) John what are the products in Japan which come with Geographical Indication sign? Could you please do a video on that?
🤔 what do you mean about the sign? Products meaning food? Bed mattresses? Glasses? ... we had fun tonight 🤣
@@onlyinjapanGO Florida - oranges. Idalho - potatoes. Washington - apples. Bonchester - cheese. Shetland - wool. Champagne - wine. Darjeeling - tea. Mysore - sandal soap. Kancheepuram - silk. Ratnagiri - alphonsa mango. These are few examples for GI. Does Japan have PGI - Products with Geographical Indication?
On the comments about tourists and expats seeking familiarity: In the case of my wife and myself who just visited Japan the first week of April 2019, we avoid said familiarity. We don't like to travel long distances to go to places we can visit at home. No McDonald's, Taco Bell, or Hooters for us, we make it a point to do things and eat foods we DON'T have at home. We told our expat friend while we were there: "We didn't travel thousands of miles to eat at McDonalds." I can see expats who have been there for years wanting a taste of home, but I think tourists in general are going to want to experience local attractions and food they can't get anywhere else.
How do you make a beer last so long?
There used to be a What The Dickens in Shibuya, I think.
Tokyo is so huge. Fri night the streets are kind of empty.
Hk being a tiny compressed place, I get so tired walking around in Tokyo.
Is it me or Peter’s vibe kinda changed? Either way, its lovely to see you on this video... stay healthy guys!
Yeah he’s way more comfortable on the camera now. He’s becoming great at vlogs
Do a meetup in tokyo in October
Best Ending Ever!
If you go to the New York Bar at the Park Hyatt before 8 PM, it’s not too bad, perhaps have a drink while watching the sunset and watch Tokyo light up. After 8 though, they slap you with a cover charge, which I think is ¥3000, if my memory serves me right. Great for Lost in Translation fans!
How the heck did you get Peter off his bike?
Always good to see JD and PvG on the town! 😎👍...and Hooters filing for bankruptcy...Noooooooo! 😱😩
John n PETER 👍🏽👍🏽
I'm definitely going to check out some of these bars that the expats go to thank you John for letting us know you're awesome.
Both of you together are 👍🏽👍🏽
Funny pvg did it hard way John it is really hard that way good job to both of you on the pull ups
I know! Slightly tougher. I told him he could do it anyway he likes though ... why'd he pick it that way I wonder? He thought I couldn't do 15 the other way? lol We'll have a rematch someday!
When i was in osaka i never go to bars or nightclubs only Resturants
It's fun!
I went to gas panic in Shibuya last week.
If you can climb a ladder and note climb a rope, someone has not yet taught you how to climb a rope. You only hold on with your arms and you raise yourself with your legs, you need to learn how to grip the rope with your legs and feet.
$9 usd a beer, it better be for a whole pitcher that is crazy expensive.
I know!! But it’s not. It’s for 430ml (less than a pint) of craft beer typically between ¥900 and ¥1300 for a L size. Many but small sizes which are slightly cheaper.
I'm a biker! My riding friends are some of the best people on the earth. And we like everyone.....except Harley riders ;)
Peter!!!
Whatever happened to the OnlyInJapan360 channel? 🐣🧐
🤜🏻🤛🏻
UA-cam demonetized it (not enough of a playlist to keep hours up) and I didn’t think people were interested. 360° VR videos didn’t do well, UA-cam didn’t do enough to encourage the content creators to do it and fans actually had more negative experiences than positive with the use on the whole (all UA-camrs) but maybe it’ll come back :) it depends on a lot of things. The tech was also not ready (quality of cameras) and the last challenge - not everyone has enough bandwidth to watch! Many in Indonesia, India, other places in Asia watch on 3G smartphones In lower res screens and it doesn’t play well nor look good like 2D videos.
As tech evolves, I’ll reevaluate and try again.
Kids at play again !
All it wanted was a friendly local bobby to take them home for a good telling off from their parents.
The TOXYO PLAYBOYZ PVG + BIG JD!
Oh Gosh my comment is quite late haha but I always remember how the gyaru girls used to visit womb ;) now this was a time ;) the great and not so great 90th and early 2000th
Yes!! Those days were crazy 😜 the parapara dancing! One place had fireworks 🎇 I guess before fire codes were norm? Great - and not so great 😂
John are you on break?
Peter did 16 !!
He didn’t do poorly but those weren’t full pull ups. Got to go down past at least 90° with the elbows. 45° is preferable to PE teachers. I’m fine calling it a tie :) because it’s Peter’s night out, not mine. Celebrating a successful video he did. No ego - we have fun and tease each other a lot, bro 😂
It only just recently clicked in my head that “ex pat” is short for “ex patriot”. Sounds like a title for folks on the run. Lol
Am I missed your live stream?
Just missed it! But we were on for an hour!
I guest the bar just don't want John in there,
I like your videos, they are really entertaining but with this camera you use, even when turning on 720p, you can tell it's not the real 720p, i woulld put it in the 360p. Hope my comment is not offending, and thank you.
I was shocked to see a Learners Permit on a Lamborghini one time. So someone has a lot of money to burn to allow their kid to learn to drive in one of them.
I just subscribed to PPG
When you are doing these type of videos, I recommend you converse with the 20-30 year olds to get the inside scoop since you are not in the clubing culture.
I have seen reports of foreigners like yourself being attacked by locals in Japan...especially Tokyo...Tokyo’s entertainment districts, like Roppongi and Kabuki-cho (near Shinjuku station), are considered higher risk areas for crime, in particular at night. There are reports of foreign nationals being targeted for drink-spiking, credit card fraud, extortion, robbery, assault and sexual assault in clubs and bars.
There have also been reports of drink spiking or deliberately giving customers drinks with much higher levels of alcohol than would be expected. Victims have described waking up, often in an unknown location, with no memory of the preceding hours and finding out that large amounts have been billed to their credit card.
“There have been reports ...”
By journalists? 😂
Stuff happens in every country! Europe, USA, Australia, NZ, Canada ... have more crime. I hitchhiked the entire country by myself - twice.
I report kindness by strangers. I report nice people. I report great hospitality! Wonderful food. Lots of adventure. If you’re paranoid, don’t go outside at all. If you’re an adventurer, you know to stay away from tourist areas in general.
Note: Kabukicho is safe but dumb people exist in every country. If you GET DRUNK and start being dumb, people may take advantage of you a little in a place know for mafia and low end thugs. No country is criminal-less.
Note: most theft is done by other tourists.
Did Kanae know you two were loose?
I love PvG
歡迎光臨 in the background. Chinese are everywhere.
Who goes to Ginza except moneyed Japanese, or foreign social-climbers.
They go either for jp anime or Jp school girls. F*** around, what else?
funnnnnny
"Ex-pats" are temporary, those people who never get beyond "arigato" or "biiru". The rest of us are immigrants.
Maybe it’s a guy thing but macho competition and drinking in the streets, not my vibe. Can you imagine Jennifer in this mix? Not a chance.
You guys are so funny together.
I like Yurakacho
Me too!
I benefit a lot from watching your Videos. I liked the train spotting one you did in Yurakacho but unfortunately I couldn’t find the restaurant.
I love to walk to Yurakacho at night and looking at the restaurants tucked beneath the train tracks.
John, just saw your Videos of KOBAYASHI - Tenpura n Akiya Bank. Enjoyed it.
The problem with hooters is first of all Japanese woman arent known for large breasts which I have no problem with but also hooters food while fine is overpriced.
Peter is the Winner 🥇
Sounds like Pete is a lotta fun...
Sorry, but you both would have received a count of 'zero' if you were doing a military PT test. : ) Although, John's were way better in form. And kudos to you both for the effort. Most men could barely do one full pull-up.
Trump Chocolate. LOL
Don't be cheap. Be fair play and buy Peter a drink. He deserved it!
PvG don't dog the prez!!
Lose the expat! He'd do better in Thailand. You'd do better to concentrate on rural Japan.
Peter is bragging too much.
I like your videos but they never get recommended to me. Clearly you have yet to sell your soul to UA-cam. Seriously it's annoying though.
GEIJIN
Why do americans call themselves "expats" instead of immigrants?
Hmmmm Never thought of that.
Not just yanks. it's the term for those who have moved for work, but do not intend to stay there for life.
Oh dear... Sorry guys, but the first few minutes have been cringe-worthy... Irish pubs and British pubs might indeed be similar in Japan, but casually mixing Ireland with England is hot water indeed. For future reference: you might judge an English pub by its fish & chips, but an Irish pub is judged by its Guinness.
u guys sound old.....like my dad old.....grandad old
Expat means White Immigrants.
Typical American gaijin in Japan.
Donald Trump rules.😁😁😁😁
