Good morning. I'm leaving today and I just want to show you guys the nature channel from my girl, right?
Yeah, there you go
That's the live nature channel right there. Goodbye girl. Goodbye biting flies. That's the only thing I won't miss. Goodbye turkeys
See you at thanksgiving. Just kidding. Just kidding. Bye guys. Thank you so much
Thank you. Oh man, take care of that arm
This is the camp I was at dream adventures mongolia. Well, here we go
That's my favorite part
This is supposed to be like a pretty fancy hotel in mongolia, which yeah, it's nice just it just looks like a regular
Regular hotel room. It's like a desk and then
The abyss I don't know what that is. Nice bed a couple of waters
Please slippers, please slippers
Oh slippers and it doesn't smell my biggest complaint about the j hotel was the bathroom was so moldy smelling
The bathroom here is super nice
It's got an electronic toilet like all asian bathrooms should and this is a welcoming site nice shower
Oh, the tea is nice. I'm just gonna keep this. Oh my back is
Killing me, but like I was saying in the car, this is the place I went to dream adventure mongolia
And it's not sponsored. I I pay just like anybody else, but it's such a great deal
The city of uh, wilam batar is I feel like maybe a day or two. That's all you need here
But really going out to the wilderness of mongolia and staying with the people kind of kind of experiencing that nomadic life
That I feel like is the best part of a mongolian vacation
and this place is such a great deal because it's 75 per night per person and
You get a bed in a gir and you share that with I think three other people if there is other people there
Um, you get three deliciously cooked meals a day. You get two hours of horse riding
It sounds like an advertisement. It's not like I said, it's not sponsored
I paid full price just like anybody else, but it's a really good place
So I want to recommend it to you guys who are traveling to mongolia
The only thing I didn't like was the biting flies if that was somehow eliminated
I don't know like in the future if somebody could just please invent a fly and mosquito shield
Because that did get really really annoying because i'm sitting there in the shade
I'm, enjoying myself the weather is nice and then just hear the buzzing in your ear
It's like the worst thing but people were so nice
I got to meet a lot of my fellow travelers and we became like really quick friends
So it's kind of like waking up among your amongst your friends every day and go and going horse riding together
So I had a fantastic time leaving mongolia tomorrow, but cannot leave without getting some lamb barbecue skewers
First are cooked in these like giant grills and I feel bad for these guys because they're wearing like
Long sleeves and looks like thick shirts and it's already hot out here. I can't imagine what it's like in there. Here we go
Mongolian lamb skewer gave it to you on a sword. I love that. Look how juicy this is
The most delicious food sword ever feel that lamb grease is drippy
Oh, that's some nice barbecue. They're, also selling like these drinks. I think I don't know what they're made out of
Jujube drink this is awesome. Just be careful not to stab yourself. Oh and check this out guys this last piece
All right, I was poking it. I thought it was like maybe just tender meat
But this is just a whole big piece of fat right here all fat
I can't wait for this. Here it is the last piece of meat on the skewer
It's just a solid piece of fat that's all this is grilled juicy drippy fat
Oh
If you're a fat lover like me
Man, that is fantastic. Fats all charred and melty got a little chew on the outside
But inside that thing just melts in your mouth. You know what this would be good with
I think if I put this on a piece of bread and then just make a fat sandwich out of this bread
Let's uh, put a piece of cucumber on here so we don't die from eating this. Yep. That is just a fat sandwich
literally
Real charred piece of fat it's okay to eat this because my piece of cucumber it balances everything out
This is how you catch a cab in Mongolia
Just put your hands up and get into the car that stops for you and hope for all the best
Let's go home
It is three o'clock in the morning and it's pouring outside in Mongolia. This is rare
You know what this is? I've actually never seen this until today
So if you knew what this was good for you, so you take this in acid pill tongs looking thing
And you pour some water on it
Watch it grow
It's growing it's growing
Magic and then it's a wipe you can wipe your hands
Yay, I love this. Oh this rice drink is awesome too. Fresh aloe. Yes, please
I love this tea too. Sure. I'll take some grape juice. Yeah, i'm really thirsty right now
What was supposed to happen today was supposed to fly mongolian airlines to busan korea
Which I am at right now and then i'm supposed to fly to JFK from here
But I just found out that they changed my flight and now i'm flying to tokyo and from there i'm flying back to JFK
Now you guys know how much I love japan. So why are the airplane gods torturing me? Let's go to japan
Wow, those are pungent
Here we have some road eel with egg omelet
Some of the shrimp taro and seaweed broad beans smoked salmon chive roll cream tea soba noodle saute chicken with japanese pepper
Soya sauce deep fried alaskan rockfish honey and fruit mousse with orange cream and some miso soup
All this actually looks really really good. Wow. It's frozen tofu inside the miso soup as well
That's quality miso soup first time
I was ever served miso soup with frozen tofu and frozen tofu was really great about that is it's spongy
So it soaks up all that soup better finish this before the turbulence starts
The eel and the egg omelet looks awesome
That's surprisingly refreshingly good
I thought this was pork belly, but this is actually a sauteed chicken
They somehow minced the chicken and they shaped it into this and here you got the chicken skin a little bit of a meat
So a lot of different textures in this bite. This is interesting seaweed wrapped around taro
I'm, not a big fan of taro. Otherwise the flavor's good the broad beans
That was like a dessert. I love soba noodles
Excellent that's refreshing nice wasabi flavor, you know what could make this better put the chicken on top of this give it a little protein
Fish has really good flavor, but the outside is pretty gooey because it's been sitting in the sauce for a long time
But the flavor of the fish itself is excellent
honey and fruit mousse
It looks really good
Oh
Oh, that's delicious. This is some of the best dessert i've ever had on an airplane
This thing's got real orange pieces in here and then I think some walnuts
Man, this is excellent the food from this airline top-notch. This is some of the best food i've had on a plane
Really really good
I'm at the jl lounge in narita airport in tokyo
I couldn't get anything to eat from the lounge because there was always a sign that says there's too many people at the dining area
But if my last meal is of any indication, there's gonna be some good food on that plane. I hope
All right, this is the long one almost home though
Wow, so I I didn't know business class had middle seats, but apparently it does
This is business class jl. So usually the business class planes I was on
There's typically um one row of seats by the windows and then two rows in the middle
But here there's two rows by the windows and three rows here
So I am in the middle the middle seat of business class
So you basically got to go through this little slot here and that's how you get to your seat
Slippers
headphones
This definitely looks like one of the most dated, um business classes i've been in
Screen is nice and big. There is a lot of legroom, but I guess the trade-off is you got neighbors here. You got neighbors here
Tissues earplugs
Lip balm toothbrush. Yep. All the usual suspects are here. Where's my lotion?
Not that I ever use lotion, but still where's my lotion?
Although this is the middle seat. I feel like this is the most privacy i've ever gotten on an airplane before so it's dinner time
also
You can order anything you want off literally just sitting here and oh my god, there's free wi-fi
This flight is awesome
Privacy free wi-fi if the food is good. This may be my favorite flight camera
And just like ana this menu is broken. That's good
Oh if that's real wagyu, that's gonna be delicious. Whoa japanese style stewed beef tongue as much as I love steak as
Much as I love wagyu, this is a japanese airline. You gotta go with the japanese menu. This is pretty fun
Um, this is the sesame oil
I guess and you stick it into the tofu and you inject the sesame oil into the tofu which of course just
Spurs all out because tofu is pretty dense. There's really no air pockets in here some wasabi
Not too much
This thing almost tastes more like a mochi than it does tofu
the tuna confit
Which just kind of looks like a tuna salad here. It just kind of tastes like canned tuna
I mean, I like canned tuna
Thank you
Look at this. It's like a gift box
First of all, this is really pretty little origami crane
And I guess it's my birthday i'm opening up a present that is also my dinner, okay, this is a lot harder
How pretty that's one thing about all japanese airlines. They got their presentation skills down. Look at this
work of art
This is eel with cucumber with mustard vinegar miso sweet simmered sweet potato avocado and syrup simmered octopus and simmered
Pumpkin and deep-fried eggplant. This is japanese soba with spicy cod roe. This is summer vegetables with kami seaweed
Look at this. This is like an egg roll sandwich sweet potatoes and avocado
That's the craziest thing
The eggs are cold but so light and fluffy and I never had eggs with apricot before this eel kind of looks like guacamole
Wow
It's my favorite thing so far delicious
Kind of weird this is like vegetables under citrus soy jelly. That's a little funky. It's not bad
I'm, not in love with that jelly though
a little bite of soba
Not my favorite finally the simmered squid and this is a deep fried eggplant
It's like something from people's nightmare everything here is definitely vinegar eel
See this thing break apart like that
Look at it treat this thing like a baby be super gentle with it
I call that a chewing if you don't want to chew you don't have to
I think the fish is okay. I mean, it's really salty a bit fishy doesn't have too much other flavor
Pretty good though
Ready to do something for a long I only slept two hours last night. I gotta go to bed. Good night
I kid you not the entire time I was sleeping
I dreamt that I was back in Mongolia riding horses so much so that I think I woke up an apple
This is my bowl of hot udon noodles
Seasonings mushrooms sesame seeds. Nothing like a nice piping hot brothy bowl of udon noodle soup
Right after a long horse ride in Mongolia
in your dream camp
That's really good. These noodles themselves don't look that flavorful, but this broth is seasoned really nicely
This is awesome noodles are springy and chewy flavor. It's actually seeped all the way through
There's a good bowl of udon, let's see what other goodies they actually have squid balls here
That's probably not that good. Oh, man, that ramen actually looks delicious. You can actually order a set menu here anytime you want
What?
Free system this airline provides the amounts of varieties available to you outside of your set meals
That's really awesome. Awesome. Thank you
I feel like when the japanese are lying based on how good their ramen is this one at first glance
Definitely passes the eyeball test. I mean look at this a couple slices seaweed
What looks like onions marinated eggs?
The only bad thing is the yolk is not all that runny broth looks really flavorful. The ramen looks like it's got some choux
It's like a solid bowl of ramen. Yep. A lot of onions a lot of scallions
Let's dip our seaweed in there
Oh, yeah
Oh, that's got a ton of flavor
This is awesome. The noodles are indented got a great chew to them these noodles and this broth
I might like this just as much or even more than the ana ramen, which I really love
Now the broth's real that that broth is nice
Took out the eggs and you didn't tell me this is from an airplane. I would never think airplane food
Absolutely delicious, man. I need some ice cream
The magical food genie remote push some buttons and good food just miraculously show up
I have one of these things at home. I just never leave the house some ice cream and some moana
This is the life
That's it finally home
Anyway, I had a blast in korea and mongolia exploring my heritage that I didn't know I was a part of it
It'll probably go down as one of my most memorable trips and thank you guys so much for following along. I'll see you later
