    I just want to say that I appreciate that you sometimes choose the more affordable option when you take trips. I only ever see people taking either the most expensive option or the cheapest and there is a rarely an in between. I understand why content creators do this, but I do like seeing what it would be like in those middle rows, even if the view isn't as open as the very front.

    What totally baffles me as a European, is that you can eat amazingly good food at a fair price at the train station in Japan! Totally unheard of over here. Massively overpriced supermarkets and Fast Food is all you can get at our stations.

    I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos, and as a Londoner, I am jealous of the quality of your mouth wateringly excellent food. No wonder the Japanese have a great reputation regarding the quality of their food and your public transport system appears to be second to none, though from the UK we do appear to share one thing and that is the weather :-) Thanks for sharing.

    Every time I see someone ordering food in Japan it always looks so pretty. Almost like it was done for a magazine article. In the US restaurants usually don’t care and will slop it on the plate. I wish the visual aspect was more appreciated here.

    Those laws requiring breaks and sleep are here too. Some semi-truck drivers are paid by loads delivered. in order to pay their bills, some would drive non-stop before those laws were around. Drivers fall asleep while driving was one of the reasons those laws exist. The logbooks are checked at the weigh stations. The sleeper semi-trucks can be lived in. They cost about the same as a house.

    All the food looked amazing as always! (Especially the invisible curry rice you had with the soba). I never manage to sleep on buses, even private ones that are supposed to be safer (you don't want to sleep in public buses here, unless you want to wake up missing belongnings). But taking into account that I neve manage to sleep on cars or planes either, I think I'm just unable to sleep in moving vehicles. Ferrys/cruise ships are fine tough, I can sleep on those with no issue.
