      That's the first time I heard you say you were sea sick. Curry is always delicious. I saw guys on a Japanese navy vessel cooking curry for the crew on board it was the best-looking curry ever. I could just imagine how magnificent it tasted. I thought about you right away.

    I'm glad you remembered to bring the seasickness pills this time, man; they must have knocked you out! For you to be in bed still at 11:00 a.m., you were tired!! Yes, the meals looked a bit sad this time; they just matched the weather you had. The gyoza crisis was funny, but I don't think you could have tolerated all 22 without any concerns. Maybe 15, but not 22 plates of nine. So happy touring, and take us along with you.

    Whenever I see Italian food on a Japanese YT video, it is always adapted for the Japanese palate, which is exactly what we in the West do with food from around the world. Most Indian food in the West, is nothing like authentic Indian food. I love your videos so thanks for all your travels.

    Great trip. The fastest ship between Tokyo and Shinmoji, because it didn't need to stop in Tokushima. The dinner won't be completed without curry. This ship definitely workhorse, only rest about 3-4 hours after sailing around 21 hours. Can't imagine if this ship needs maintenance.

They must have been compeled by logic to drop the Chicago Pizza name, for that is NOT in any way a Chicago pizza. 22 Gyozas might have been a little much for you, though... even you! ✌🤟

What I heard wrong was where the meow was coming from. Turns out my cat wanted to go into my room and meowed at the perfect volume that it blended in with the sounds from the video.

    I have a question. Are the ferries usually deserted? I'm a long-time fan and I've noticed that you seem to be alone on every ship. I'm just wondering if they run when they have very few passengers; probably because cargo is also being run by the ship, isn't it?

    You would break off pieces of the bowl and use to dip out bites of the salad.

    One note from sailors of yore a hammock rocks with the seas, so you stay mostly level hanging from the ropes. If it gets rough it's tough, but generally that's not it was. I used to sling up a hammock on Dad's fishing boat now and then.
    And that was something more like a taco salad than anything resembling a pizza.

    Thank you for showing the seasickness medicine. I may need some in future (: Is it usually carried by the ship's store or vending machines, or is it better to try getting some before departure?
