    Just watching Kyde walk from the two sinks to the showerroom my eyes suddenly teared up because I realized I’ve been ‘travelling’ with you for 8 years and it has brought me so much joy. I’ve travelled extensively myself but the closest thing to that has to be watching you guys.
    Thank you for sharing your life with us in this way, your channel is truly a gem!
    PS: Kyde is one of the funniest people in the world. Period.

    When Kyde started her eggy lunch my mouth opened in a reflex action expecting to be fed.
    Given how cold the lake water is perhaps you could use it as an anaesthetic on your cycling aches and pains.
    Looking forward to seeing part three.

My uncle who used to live in Sitka Alaska told me while we were hiking that when bears hibernate they eat a bunch of stuff like rocks to make there stomach’s full over the winter then when it’s time for them to wake up they eat a massive amount of skunk cabbage to get things moving with all of that fiber to pass that junk they don’t need anymore through.

    Great scenic views! It seems like you had a little trouble finding food/restaurants (at least, it was inconvenient to get to them by bicycle). I would have thought that there might be better infrastructure for making the loop around Lake Biwa for bicyclists. On the other hand, you have found so many really interesting things to stop for.

    • @kydeanderic
      @kydeanderic  3 роки тому

      I'd translate a jinja as a shrine, so I think google is right in that. It's not always super clear which you are standing in front of, however. There are strong signals if you know what to look for, but sometimes shine things are at temples and vice versa making it complicated. Or there will be a shrine AT a temple and if you are standing in one part of the area you will think one thing and walk 10 feet and think the other lol
