    Hi Andrew, congrats on hitting 200,000 subs and counting! I remember when you were at 70,000, I had sent your link to over 3 dozen of my friends living around the world. I had asked them to spread the word around. Your content has certainly touched many people with your honest, raw and sincere narratives. Looking forward to seeing you hit 500,000 soon.

    I'm Japanese. I use a translation app!
    I may be making ramen the wrong way.
    1. Put soup in a bowl and fill it with hot water. That completes the soup.
    Boil the noodles in hot water according to the time written in the instructions.
    3. Take the noodles to a colander and remove some of the water.
    4. Put the ramen into the bowl with the soup!
    Now it should be finished!
    However, the noodles are covered with a lot of flour to prevent them from sticking to the broth, so when boiled with the broth, the ramen is thick and thick, and not very tasty!
    So this type of noodle has to be boiled separately!
    Good luck next time you make it! It's delicious!

      I tried whale at the Shimaneski market off-camera, and it was surprisingly good. I’d love to make a video about it one day because I think it’s far more of a two-sided argument than people make it out to be. Many whale species have population growth rates that are well within the range for a sustainable fishery-many whale populations grow faster than fish species commonly consumed in the West. That said, the whole ‘scientific research’ justification is quite clearly BS. So there you go. Maybe one day I’ll have the name to get that kind of access. Who knows?

    Japan is known for its vending machines and also gambling machines. They have far extremes from the most beautiful fresh sashimi to cold and frozen foods from a machine, very opposites to each other. How much healthier can you get from a box, even if it’s luxurious truffles fallen into a cloth? Why would anyone eat horse meat, why even from a vending machine. So horrible to think about. Andrew, the only thing you did t show us was that they have vending machines for girls undies. Very bad for men who are predatory 🤯👎🏻. Convenient, but it replaces people and jobs.
