  • You won't believe this abandoned #GhostTown, a #UNESCOWorldHeritageSite called Battleship Island or Hashima Island. Commonly called Gunkanjima, is an abandoned island lying about 15 kilometers from the city of Nagasaki, in southern #Japan. It was a thriving coal-mining city, but was abandoned in 1974 when its owner, the Mitsubishi company, decided to shut it down when the Japan government changed its laws to favour obtaining energy from oil, and not coal. We also visit the Gunkanjima Digital Museum to have a feel for what this post-apocalyptic-like island was like before it was deserted.

    Welcome to my daily vlogs! TRAVEL. FOOD. COMEDY. SINGING. ANTS. LIFE.
    I upload a new video every day at 7AM EST!
    About Me:
    My bio is pretty random: In short, I am a professional singer/songwriter from Toronto, Canada who moved to Manila, Philippines which sorta became my Hollywood because my first UA-cam channel MIKEYBUSTOSVIDEOS grew popular due to Filipino comedy videos. Meanwhile, I'm also a big biology geek who is obsessed with ants, so I built an internationally operating ant business supported by another popular channel called ANTSCANADA, and well basically, today I travel and tour around the world doing what I love so I wanted to start this vlogging channel, in hopes to encourage you guys to follow your dreams no matter how random, by showing you what happened when I followed mine! You just never know where life will take you when you listen to the yearnings of your heart!
