Sushi Blog

Costco Japan appears to be an exact replica of US Costco, selling the same $1.50 hot dog (180 Japanese yen) and pizza at the deli counter. Despite the allure of the good old American hotdog, Costco's signature deli food, John sticks with sushi.

Chris shows us beautiful areas of Japan as part of his journey across Japan. The spectacular sceneries captured via a drone are an extra treat. The video host is not so lonely today as he has a female cycling partner with him.

One thing you don't find very often in Japan is a hitchhiker.  During all those years I grew up in Japan, I have not seen anyone holding up a piece of cardboard with destination written on it, not even once.  It's just not something people do in this land. It is not because hitchhiking is unsafe, but most likely because it is considered a form of begging.  John experimented with this strange behavior in the eyes of the Japanese nation.  The results were nothing but positive.

We all have our own experience when visiting a foreign land for the first time whether it's positive or otherwise. If you are looking for something new from language, culture and food to exploring natural beauty, Japan has plenty to offer.  Chris has his own take on why Japan should be one of travelers’' destinations.

Sewage is the heart of civilization.  Here at Tokyo Sewage Museum, visitors learn what happens after they flush the toilet. The water levels are tightly controled as rain dumps huge amount of water.  The lab technician also checks the water for micro organism it contains.
