I really like that your videos never seem pretentious: the cleaning before a family visit, surely delicious but not "instagram-able" food, sitting in front of the house with Crocs on, just snippets of your everyday life.
not everything should be main stream its dull and saturated

My late wife showed me your channel a while ago. We marvelled at the life you are building and wondered if we could do something like that. One of your videos showed up for me just a few days ago, and I am so grateful for the calm and peaceful scenes you are sharing. Japan meant a lot to my wife, and it is becoming a special place for me. From another Canadian, thank you for opening your life for people to see.

This is such a relatable episode. I'm american but have been living in britain for the last 15 years. When i have family or friends from the USA visit me, i get to "play tourist" in my own country and experience my fam an friends trying all the foods and places i'm so used to, and watch them enjoy it so much. It's fun!

Shikoku is my favourite place in Japan, especially Seto Naikai and Kochi. But pretty much everywhere on the island is amazing. I went there so many times. We had 2 roadtrips there with my wife. The last one was spring 2023 with our 3-year-old. We drove along almost all the coast. One of few parts we skipped was the Tatsukushi Coast. Is it worth it? If youre not afraod of driving on a moutain pass, i recommend the 439!

He has his good days and bad days. We're still working on recall with him. He is usually well-behaved, but sometimes he succumbs to his wild dog instincts, which can be especially problematic if there are monkeys around!

The noren is a traditional Japanese curtain used to divide rooms, doorways, or windows. It's primarily for providing privacy or shielding from bright light, smoke, dust, etc, but it also serves as a decorative element and even a signpost for stores, indicating they are open for business. Pancake's noren means that this is Pancake's home. 🤣
