Well it's a new day and it starts in a regular way
If you see how my eyes are they are very red you can't see them there
The problem is that the liquid I bought yesterday at a pharmacy
I don't know what's wrong with it here it is
But it's like I put the contact lenses in
acid I mean the contact lenses how beautiful these things are
The contact lenses were in the solution overnight so he
assumed they were okay because they were soft and that
but I don't know what the liquid here contains
When I put them in my eyes they burned a
lot That is my eyes were burning
Then I had to take them off I went back to the pharmacy
And nothing has worked it has given me two other liquids and none have worked
my eyes keep burning
So let's go return everything right away
if you can't give me some solution
I'll have to be short-sighted these days until they bring my things
And nothing so okay at least the weather is very nice
it's very clear there's a few small clouds
But anyway at least it doesn't seem like it's going to rain
And we're going to start by going to a park
that 's not far from here which is the Imperial Palace
What is where the how is it called here
The Emperor
The Emperor yes
Well the Emperor of Japan
They used to be called by another name didn't they
Then how was it
The shogun
Okay so that's the plan we're going to the emperor's palace
but you can't enter because he's there
but he still looks at us and says "Hey come in "
And so you know we'll mention the
park where it is take a little walk around there
Then we'll go to the western
part of Tokyo to see Shinjuku Park
There are some really nice temples and
streets and so on which we'll explain later
So nothing little by little towards there
because then here things close super fast
Since it gets dark at
six so at four thirty five or around that
They are already closing the
temples and everything else so we need to make the most of the whole morning to see those things
Then in the afternoon when they
close go see more commercial streets
And well it's like what we saw yesterday
So nothing else I'm going back now to the contact lens solutions
And we have breakfast and go there
What a pleasant conversation José
Okay and after breakfast
we go to the palace
Are they having the whole breakfast right That's
hard to believe it's so rich I'm excited
Damn it
But it must be said that the
Japanese aside from being quiet
They'really nice they'really kind to everyone
and that's right leaving out those from for example
In the cafeteria and such they
understand English well and at the hotel
but at the pharmacy where she went for the contact
lenses the girl was making herself understood as much as she could
but we had to keep translating ourselves
with He took his phone
He has started translating there on the phone and I was also writing back to him
And he was translating it there then
Everything there like on Whatsapp right
Yes texting us on your mobile to communicate What a nice way to flirt huh
But yes It's the future But very well they are very
kind so they try to make
themselves
understood in any way
How is that different from the Chinese right You didn't get along well with them yesterday in Shanghai
I wanted to leave there quickly none of
it appealed to me Yes
they had a more yes
Much more serious
Serious yes
Even the soles of Air China's shoes and so on
It was quite serious all the time
All the time
yes The food wasn't always the same
which wasn't very good at all
But here's something amazing even if they don't understand you
I asked her yesterday
No that's a
pharmacy and he went crazy like it's a pharmacy I don't know what
And even though I had no idea
I was trying I don't know he was going crazy trying to
figure out something
to tell you
Okay that's why we're
looking at this Chiyoda Park thing here
It's just really beautiful
because it has the typical architecture
so Japanese
We are here at a little door
Approaching the shadow
And now we are going to try to
reach the castle the Imperial
Palace But it's complicated
Because the whole park is closed it's
quite closed because of so many things
So let's see if we can get in
Gosh
We've gone all around the park
and we can't get into the Imperial Palace
We don't know
What's happening
What's going on But What's happening to the emperor
But it says here
Hey
It says Keep Out
And Closed
So it seems like we can't get in
We'll have to go to the next spot
And then we'll see how to get in
to come back another day
If not since the parks close early
it's better to make the most of it
Go to that place
Well look there's a typical
Brazilian girl dressed
With the kimono
Finally let's go to another park and see if we have more luck there
We are in What is it called We are
in Tokyo National Park which is
called Shinjuku right
Shinjuku
Shinjuku
National Garden
which is a large park
Very very big
And there is that there are some greenhouse workers
A super big greenhouse that we are going to enter now
Well there's not much here
in this park There are no temples and things like that
But it's a very beautiful park
They have an English zone
a French zone
this one is multicultural
Y
Y nothing the
the was designed by a French architect
at the beginning of the century
And here
And also I should say that
Tokyo was a city of
very little importance
But the one
who was the the emperor of
Well I don't know in which era
it was ButI think the capital was
Kyoto before Yes that's right
And the emperor went
to Tokyo he liked
it And he said
And besides that
And a bit more
Very brief
But basically that's how it was
And then
With the help of the samurais and like that
well it became the
As for the current capital of Japan And
it has already been gaining importance
In fact to this day it has
the capital which
is the Tokyo area
It has 16 million inhabitants
Then everything is super It's all very good
In fact Japanese
houses are small
That is a house a
normal single floor
It can move up to 10 square meters roughly But they use
the space so much
They still have plenty of space
That is in a small room they have everything
And with that they manage
Because if it's not here you can't
They couldn't live
Plus as it spreads out
Because there are tall buildings but it's not the most common That is
they are quite small buildings
Then it's not that
No you can't
have many houses So that' s why our hotel room
She is so
tiny In fact they are very popular in
Tokyo capsule hotels
They are capsule
hotels and they are like coffins You enter a corridor
You have capsules in the walls
and you go directly to sleep
And look how cool it is
That is a small pond
that is here in the greenhouse
With water lies and everything
And here's a really cool waterfall
And the most beautiful
part of the park this is
And here's also a
little bridge But it's very beautiful
What there is
It's good in temperatures
Because it will be about 30 degrees
The problem is that there is a lot of humidity So
they give it a little more
feeling of suffocation
But it's not bad
Especially if there are shadows
it's very good
Ah how beautiful
The truth is that Tokyo is really charming us
It's very very beautiful
And God right now we haven't seen
the temples But the city is very beautiful
It's very quiet
I mean for being a city with so many people
it's a very very quiet city
Just a noise was
heard The Japanese are very quiet
very calm
Even with the traffic they are all very respectful Then the truth
is that it's a pleasure
This is where we
are Nothing else let's take a little walk Look a banana tree
Yes
Look one Four Three
Four
And nothing let's take a little walk around here because it's very beautiful
But
But the truth is that it's well worth
the visit I mean I know we've only seen a little so far
ButFor example the street were on yesterday Ginza
That crossing at the end
wasn't the most used right
José No Where is it
In Shinjuku
This is where we are now right
Well I think it's nearby
It's a bit further south I
think But wow this was a more ordinary intersection
They are very similar
Then it could be Yes That is Ginza
Street where were
It is a shopping area but
very upscale And according
to what we have read it is one of the areas
With the most expensive rental in the world
I don't even want to imagine how much but wow
It doesn't have to be that way Right
No
So let's take a little trip over here to the
Through the Green House
And
Look this looks like that like Evera
Yes eat it
Here the last survivor has his arm torn off by the lion
This plant is all you need and you're good to go
That's cool dude I want to see

We're the only ones walking this way dude
One must always go the opposite way
Yes
I'm glad they're enjoying it
And a duck
Today we are in the Japanese Traditional Garden
All of this
Here is a typical Japanese house in the style of a temple
A very cute bridge
And a park
It's that the park is huge huge
And here is Jose in model mode
Give it all to me give it
all to me I always give it
man Always
And then we'll be out of here soon and go to another park that's nearby
There are temples that's for sure
So that's that
What did you grab
We're going to move forward
We are entering Meiji Jingu Park
That's where there is a shrine
What is it called
Meiji
And that's also a really cool park
We ran the entrance
It should be even bigger than the previous one
Well at least here everything is like a straight path
And we have arrived at the Meiji
Shrine That will be the first one we are going to see
After crossing the torii
These are the typical gates wooden Japanese arches
Entering the sacred sites
So nothing else let's go there
We have some barrels here
What are these for
It seems they are placed in honor of Emperor Meiji
The one whose soul is in a shrine that we are going to now
The Meiji Shrine
And then they are in their honor
Thank you for everything you did for the society of Tokyo
It made many advances helped with technological advances and so on
And then these are in their honor
They are very beautiful
That is each one is painted in a different way
And they are really
cool It leaves a very beautiful photo
There are other barrels that are already more basic
Zara basic
So let's go to the sanctuary
José what do you
think Let's go to the sanctuary
Run here
Let's go there
Hey it's just that we're in a super relaxing area
Yeah José
I'm already in zen mode
Yes there's like a meditation area
It's because there's barely any
noise I make a helicopter now and then but only the crickets can be heard
And all sounds of nature
It's super relaxing
Super pretty
Lift your arm
They eat it huh
And they still get hungry
They're cannibals No sorry
Yes
What a cool thing
These are planted
About marijuana
Cocaine and wine
Okay he got it wrong man I think he's going to execute us
We are trying to get here to a little spot but I haven't finished finding it
Well Jose is giving us a hard time
It will vary
Look we got really cool tattoos here
We are officially part of the yakuza
And now Jose is going to show us how to go under this by doing the limbo
Well it seems we've found the well
This is really cool dude
I love it
You are surrounded here by nature and nothing else
You're in the middle of the city but at the same time you have this part of tranquility
Now Jose is going to make a wish now
Hey I just dropped it
Have you made a wish
Let's see if it becomes
real DefinitelyWe'll tell you in the last episode of the season
We are arriving at the Meiji Shrine which is this one here
It is behind the torii
Now we will proceed
And this is an area where the gods are honored
To the soul of Meiji
And Jose is going to show us how to do it
I'm an expert in this on the subject
Wait a second Come
on take the car
Water from up there
And you pour it into your left hand
Now to the right hand
Hello
Now you take it hold it in your left hand and bring it to your mouth
Goodbye
You rinse and spit
Very good
You have passed the test
Now John is going through the process
Very good
Left hand Excellent
Now right hand
A little more
Good perfect
Cleaning off the impurities from your skin
Left hand
Now rinse it
That's it there
Now stick your head in
That's all friends
Well here we go we're about to
This is the courtyard the entrance right
Straight to the shrine
Yes uncle
We went to the Meiji Shrine
This shrine is amazing it's really beautiful
It has two trees on top
It has a tree on each side
They are very beautiful trees
They seem to be cut on purpose to make that shape as round as possible
And there is the sanctuary
This is all very beautiful
Mira uncle this is the weaver Raimon
The pure leader of Raimon
Here the gods are also worshipped
They worship
Very well uncle
Here we have the wall of wishes at the sanctuary
Here people write their wishes
And they hang them
here And there are many
In Japanese
There happiness for her and her cat
But there's a lot of it
We just left the park and are heading towards the Metropolitan Building
Center which is a very large building that we will see later
But first let's stop for lunch it's around four o'clock and we haven't eaten yet
We have seen a typical restaurant here and we will enter now
There with the cooks
And in the menu of the menu what's there José
Exactly udon
A word that's quite characteristic and very well known
Bukkake udon
I think Jose is going to ask for
it Yes
Because he saw there a white mass that is that
He seems to know
And then he goes to take a Bukkake José
Well I'm going to tell you
now Okay Peña
I think the cooks say no because it's been not long since the last one they ordered
But anyway let's see how it goes
Well today we're finally going to eat
Do I still have
red eyes Yes quite a bit
This contact lens solution from the pharmacy has left my eyes really itchy
We're going to
eat This is more typically Japanese it's not like yesterday
Then here what I've taken is udon with bonito broth
Here there is like a rice ball
Then a croquette whose contents we don't know
And chicken white chicken
And here Jose grabbed a vegetable tempura right Yes
Vegetable tempura
This is
It was the same as yours but with fried beans
And the other one was
Yes fish right
Fish yes
And tubular I don't know Tubular fish
That's a tube-like fish and some other fish Yes
Mark Knopfler played the tubular
fish in the kitchen Yes
And nothing else because we're going to eat now
Uncle these are really cool you know
Look you take this and lift it
But we raised it
look Hello
Pass the two on top huh
And the third one up there you
Three trains at once
Well after a small miscalculation it seems we're finally in the real Government Village
What is this here
It never stops
being big It will keep up with the other one
But anyway let's see if we have time to go up before it gets dark as there's not much left
Close close in 40 minutes
Night is already here Let's
see if we make it
Well it seems we've reached the end
Before it gets dark
And everything here is super big
Oh it's just that when you look at the horizon the city doesn't end you know
I think in the end you should be able to see
Fuji You can see it in the photo
It's the skyline visible on a very clear day
There's Mount Fuji
But from here it's
not visible The sky
is too covered Overcast
Who will cover us
Don't shoot don't shoot
We are here for a recording of a Japanese movie
It's scary
They haven't let us record during the scene but anyway they haven't done anything special
A girl came out a girl was running from back there
Then a guy stopped her and started talking to her but that's about all
And that didn't let us record so nothing
Well that's typical Japanese cinema
This is the Shinjuku area
They are already very typical Japanese streets with little signs on both sides
And it's really cool
Are you coming in now Let's see
We'll be coming in
Japanese people love noise and lights
And they are a little place full of machines
Even so it's all noise and look there's no one
here They're all from this guy
I couldn't see the video well because they didn't let me record they took the camera away from me twice
In a very friendly way but they tell me you're not allowed to record
This is the pachinko game which is the most famous one here in Japan
That's what the Japanese are playing all day
Yes because here in Japan it is prohibited the game is illegal
So this is a way to avoid the laws
What they do is in this pachinko game they accumulate balls
Then they can redeem them for prizes
Vacuums irons and things like that
Then there is a regular store usually next to the pachinko shops
What they do is they buy what you've earned
That is what you've exchanged
Then with that they get the money
And it's a way to be able to afford the game without being legal
But it's great because it's all noise
Everyone is completely hooked while playing
I don't even know how many files were left here but it's amazing
They're the decent idols from here in Tokyo
Look how they stuff the paper in huh
I see Bruno Mars uncle
These are even better
There are a million stores
Look there's the SoftBank
The soft bank
One interesting thing about Tokyo is that all the floors are always spotless
I mean there's never anything lying around
No trash no cigarette butts nothing
In fact people can't even
Smoking is prohibited on the street while walking
Or
Or in general areas
Okay so you have to go to specific smoking areas if you want to smoke
For example pachinko parlors For example this one where everyone is smoking here
And here the floor is completely covered in cigarette butts
Put up a sign saying smoking area behind those people
Here everyone smokes
But apart from this from these specific points all the streets are super clean
Well it's just that it's hard to find any little piece of paper anything at
all Not even
one And that's despite the fact that there aren't even any trash bins
So people keep things and then when they can they will throw them away at home
Because what happens on the street is very well respected
AndLet's go
What just happened to the whole music team dude
Everyone was looking
And that's it well we've already taken a pretty big tour around the Shizuku
area and What's the name of the last one
Kabukicho
The Kabukicho area
And nothing else we are going to take the train that is taking us close to home
Because it's getting late and we don't even know what time the train closes
So we're going around like that
That's it
A great one
There are twelve lines at the station
He is full
of people So here to clarify where you need to go
It's crazy
Hay andenes But
even so we haven
't found our house It's crazy
Well we've arrived at the hotel so
actually it's already the next morning
But I'm posting here the vlog from yesterday that I forgot
And nothing it's not because there will have to be a quite
long vlog So we'll continue
tomorrow See you tomorrow
