Cute interactions. Most visitors tend to keep to themselves but you guys were interacting with people all the time. You are good ambassadors for Americans in Asia.
The bottles of water around the power poles are to scare off cats from marking their territory on the pole. The theory is that light is refracted by the water, which is supposed to scare cats away.
Thank God for your instincts. You handled that well. 👏🏻👏🏻 I can hear the fear in your voices and you remained very calm for your babies. So happy for answered prayers in this terrifying situation. 🙏💙
In some areas, the earthquake early warning on cell phones goes off as soon as the tremor is felt, but if the tremor does not come within at least 30 seconds, it could be a distant earthquake or, in rare cases, a false alarm. In most cases a low rumbling sound is heard before the shaking begins.
14:44 That was scary🥺 There are museums in major cities where visitors can learn how to prepare for earthquakes. One such facility, Sona Area Tokyo, offers a full range of information in English. In addition, in the Tohoku area, which was hit by the 2011 tsunami disaster, some destroyed buildings have been preserved and are open to the public. An example is Okawa Elementary School in Ishinomaki City.
Plz get used to it. As a Japanese citizen, my only advice is "Keep Calm and Carry On". houses and buildings in Japan won't fall easily so you can stay under tables during the quakes. If the destruction will... yeah, best regards to survive.
Haha, you don't have to worry too much about the earthquakes. You are fine. lol I guess it's easy to say that when you're used to it. But worst case, just be careful from things falling over and hitting. That's about it.
Wow! That earthquake was quick off the mark! It took way longer than that for me. 4 Trips to Japan 0, California 0, Mexico 0, New Zealand 0, China 0, Indonesia 0, Nepal 0, Philippines 0,Turkey 0 in 14 months, Romania 0, Greece 0, Portugal 0, Middle East 0, Italy I !!! 6.5 in the Central Italian mountains 300 km south. Because both Venice and Padua are built on mud & water, any quakes even those much further south are still felt. Quite the experience for me with windows rattling, the chair moving up and down and sideways. I thought a truck had hit the hotel. I was on the 2nd floor. Apparently another 6.5 quake struck 2 hours later but I was walking in the street trying to find a restaurant so I didn't notice it. Apparently the higher up you are in a building, the more you notice any tremors.
@@TheWickmansLife2024 I was pretty lucky. I was in Japan in February 2011. The big one hit in March 2011. 9 to 9.1. I got as close as Nikko and there were fatalities there. It was a crazy time to be in South Korea in March 2011 as there was panic from the nuclear radiation cloud from Fukushima. Over 160 schools closed on the first day of rain, but I still went outside. My thyroid gland tested normal in several subsequent medical tests. By the time it got to Korea it was no worse than regular background radiation.
I know the earthquakes in Japan are worse than California's because the plates shift differently causing more damage plus you get tsunami with yours. I'm in the Midwest now and fear tornados far more than earthquakes.
From a video communication professor: Communication 101 for videography Eyes convey most of your non-verbal communication, so please temporarily remove your sunglasses just when talking to the video camera. However, you are doing a GREAT job with your vlogs.
You guys need to bring your voice decibels down a bit. You are very loud. Japan is a very quiet place especially at night in the small neighborhood areas.
I'm wondering why Americans are so eager to use chopsticks for everything when they enter an asian restaurant, but go to Japan and use a fork to eat sashimi and sushi? With sushi its considered quite alright to be eaten with your hands. I just experienced the consequences of writing the comment mid video, I apologize. With regards to the water bottles on the street, it is believed that the waters reflection in the water bottle will keep Crows and cats away, crows are a huge problem in the cities, they get into the trash and hang out on electrical lines. Cats pee is potent and you dont want it smelling in small alleys.
地震も体験されて無事であれば日本旅行の良い思い出に成った？事でしょう！子供さんが大きく成られたら又、日本を楽しんで下さい！🤗
Something we will never forget!
Cute interactions. Most visitors tend to keep to themselves but you guys were interacting with people all the time. You are good ambassadors for Americans in Asia.
Thank you! Yeah this was a really cool night and experience for us! Thank you for the kind words!

Gotcha that makes sense I guess.

Thank you Crystal. It was definitely scary!

Ok that is good info. Not sure what happened in our case but it wasn’t what we were expecting

It really was. Thank god all good. That’s good to know thank you! Maybe we will make that happen!
I love your adventure very much!
Wonderful spirit and beautiful family. Good luck on everything you experience in Japan.
I subscribe❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Good advise thank you! We will get used to it!
❤ Thank goodness you were safe.. 🍀
Yeah it was pretty scary for a min
@@TheWickmansLife2024 i can imagine.. ❤️ You guys are awesome..
scary, I was scared for you, and I am now hungry for sushi. I love the area where you are, it reminded me of France a little.
😂 Mannnnn it was soooooo hot in Tokyo 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ .. definitely recommend visiting again during a different season
Bro it was soooo hot lol. It was competing with Florida's summer. We really want to come back in a different season for sure!
Your children need hats as well...very important for them in the heat of all the countries youve visited, including, and especially Australia....
We agree!
It was a scary experience. Adventures in Japan sometimes include earthquakes, so please stay calm and act accordingly☺️
Very scary and we will do our best! Thank you!
😂😂”I’m never going back to Thai Thai’s” 😂😂
Pacific Rim for you. 🎉
Lol it was so good! Do you like Pacific Rim better?
Haha, you don't have to worry too much about the earthquakes. You are fine. lol
I guess it's easy to say that when you're used to it. But worst case, just be careful from things falling over and hitting. That's about it.
Ok cool that’s good to know!
Earthquake in Japan is common.
It happen about 3 in a month
Yeah we know it’s very active. I think the fact that the alarm said strong earthquake is what scared us.

Yeah we didn’t have to wait long! Lol. That’s 6.5 is a pretty good one! We actually felt a good one in Nicaragua a few years back as well!

Didn’t know that! That’s wild. Tornados are crazy too!

そうか、外国から来た人は地震が怖いよな
私は緊急地震速報が鳴っても目が覚めなくなってしまった
震度５弱からが地震という認識
Yeah it’s just the fact that we are unfamiliar I’m sure if we lived in a place with earthquakes they wouldn’t bother us either.
bottles stop the dogs from lifting the leg for a wee.
Gotcha. Yeah we were unaware.
Think you can use google translate offline if you download the language fyi
Oh wow that’s a really good to know thank you!
東日本大震災で多くの人が亡くなったので私は今でも小さな地震でも本当に恐ろしい
日本の小学校でも地震の際にまず自分の机の下に隠れる事を習いますので貴方は正しい判断をしています。
ご家族の誰にも怪我が無くて本当に良かった、旅の安全を祈ります。
Thank you! It was scary
地震が来ても日本の建物は丈夫だから滅多に壊れないよ、それを東京でも経験済みだから震度5位でも壊れないと思う、流石に地震が無い地域の国から来た人達にはびっくりするだろうけど アラームが鳴っても日本人は身構えるだけかな？立てない位の揺れが来ない限り日本人は慌てないかな😰
That’s good to know! Thank you!

I don’t think they have a free hand to remove sunnies 🍼🤱🏼
I’m not sure how the Japanese will take cameras and noise 😅
Yeah we will see lol

Lol all good and yeah we are finding that our about the water bottles
You did want to experience other cultures
We definitely do!
超ウケる。lol
地震が起きない国の人はこんなにもパニックになるんだね。
Yeah no experience doesn’t help
I'm Japanese, so I'm not scared at all. Even if an earthquake occurs, I'll just sleep.
