Tokio day 2 you know when when you think
about it getting a massive dumpling
sounds really fun
right up until you're about to do it now
it just sounds crazy I've been doing a
few food challenges recently just just
for fun because it is kind of fun to see
something massive but then like on the
day of right before I'm about to do it
like I guess scared because my opponent
is ferocious its intimidating it's big
time let's go get beat up by a giant
dumpling that's it
I toss in the white flag I did bring the
remnants of the dumpling so I'm going to
have enough food for making Shu date
also what I didn't like about that place
and I think that maybe all restaurants
in Tokyo is that full smoke in there I
mean and there's nothing like a smoking
section day literally there's smoking
next to you
and secondhand smoke it's something like
hate and I have a really low tolerance
when it comes to cigarette smoke so on
top of the really hard food challenge
that cigarette smoke really made me sick
the thing with the Tokyo subway is that
it is really confusing so apparently
different companies owns different
trains that only differs exist so it's
just jumbled up and I thought New York
subways were really that was really
confusing but Tokyo I'm lost I have no
idea where I'm going
check it out this is like the shortest
escalator ever
and I'm already at the top I am I ISA
time this is I think the largest
apartment in Tokyo and it's definitely
crowded look how festive Santa I always
wanted to eat Santa those are that that
Phineas there was it I've ever seen holy
crap did this weird look in orange is
kind of low Mike it's like soft and
soggy this thing is a thousand six
hundred yen $14 per orange well this
might just take the cake the cake okay
I'm sorry
look at this thing just each melon this
is seventeen thousand yen this is a
hundred this is a hundred and fifty
dollars for for these melons I mean
they're pretty but is that really worth
150 bucks and these are the biggest
hairs look at it this is a pair these
are the biggest this is my hand this is
up here the pair is the size of maybe
shoe softball and this thing is 27 100
yen so this is a about 25 bucks morning
I wore one out there this right now I
want to taste want to see if it's worth
25 bucks okay check this out so cool in
the US we have water comics but check
this out here you push for a cup and
then you get cold water
okay I'm dumb you know you got to hold
it here
and it comes to order compression that's
so much better than a bunch of strangers
me like have an integral to a water
spout ain't enough somebody licked it
the water bag at it this is so much more
sanitary I've been here for about five
minutes and I only have one thought on
my mind I gotta get out of here
I feel like I'm in an Asian words Waldo
book that might be the biggest
Uniqlo I've ever seen in my life I'm
really starting to appreciate how many
of these vending machines there are
especially we just come out of a solid
convenience store a wedding it's so hot
walk right outside looking for a drink
there's nothing it sounds mysterious
kick-ass I don't know what flavor this
is here Sakura I think it's a car up on
a flowery flavor I'm in Shinjuku I'll
totally yeah most popular shopping
district in Tokyo and like there's a
street cross with a road cross they are
so complex I'm used to road crossings
where it's like a square you know
there's people crossing vertically and
horizontally but here it's like
vertically and horizontally diagonally
in a circle I don't know you clip this
is a typical intersection and as you can
see you can flop their legs off like
that and pop a top like this this is hot
here
[Applause]
you know one thing I notice about Tokyo
is that trash cans are just like
non-existent I've been walking with
chief Otto for like an hour no trash
cans finally finally finally that is a
lot of men speaking of this same
clothing that depends this is the mother
of them all this is called a scramble
crossing you might have seen this on
Facebook or YouTube a lot of myopia
keyboards like walking from all
directions and this is it right here
this is where it happens so let's try to
cut across it without getting killed or
worse sample look at all the people
waiting on the other side and on my time
here and there and there so I'll go with
good fun there we go okay this is uh I
feel like Roger
I am in the middle of all the roads
right now and come across diagonally
which is right not the best idea she's
going high right now in the middle of
the road like of all the sidewalks all
the streets because there's an X in this
intersection I was in the middle yeah
that was sort of fun and terrifying at
the same time no typically Christmas Eve
even in big cities like New York there's
not a lot of people how can about
because everybody with their families
whether they're out of town whether in
Tokyo everybody's out everybody shopping
this is right like I do all the freaking
happy outside right now so for us
everywhere for dinner yeah I know I just
had a ginormous dumpling why am I even
thinking about dinner but hey you know
what I'm in Japan every one of my meals
planned out I am NOT missing dinner
but dinner I am going to Miyazaki
chicken this we're going to eat Miyazaki
chicken if you don't know what Miyazaki
chicken is you're not alone I had no
idea what that was you if you've heard
of copay beat Miyazaki chicken is the
chicken version of Co baby what I mean
is that Kobe is supposed to be like the
best steak meat in the world and
Miyazaki chicken is supposed to be the
best chicken in the world it's raised in
this up in the southern part of Japan
and it's free range they're supposed to
live longer than other chickens
anyway it's I don't know is it supposed
to taste the best
[Music]
right now it's after 10:00 p.m. on
Christmas Eve and there's still so many
people out and about look at it people
everywhere this is up again I'm really
popular shopping district and nobody's
home right now I've always just out
having a good time being dressed at hand
o'clock I see a bunch of Japanese dances
all around me and after eating a massive
dumpling and a bunch of chickens today I
feel like I need some sweet I need some
ice cream 10:30 p.m. Christmas Eve and
Starbucks is packed
coastal is the only upstate open the
area and they got some Christmas ice
cream creations on us that looks really
good whoa this is common I look at this
waffle place you got some chocolate
chocolate chip pecan apple I need a
waffle definitely the waffle Ely 11
o'clock at night after I've had a few
stumping in a bunch of chicken but I
need it I need this in my life right now

waffle apple pie I just placed my cold
stone order and apparently what's
happening right now is that the staff
are there singing your Christmas song

Christmassy mood I wasn't really feeling
