- - Good morning, everyone.
It is a sunny day in Fukuoka City, and I'm here
with a very special guest. - -Hi!
- - Long time no see, yeah? - - Yeah.
- - Welcome back to Fukuoka.
- - Thank you, my second time here.
- - Yeah, no, last time Sharla came
we didn't shoot anything,
but I'm really excited that she's back today,
because we're gonna do a little bit of sightseeing
around the prefecture.
- - [Sharla] Yeah.
- - [Micaela] Gonna show her some of my favorite places,
and if you, like, watch my videos,
you already know I'm taking her to my favorite (cuts off)
- - [Sharla] (laughs)I know all the places you're going
because I see them on your Instagram.
- - I have no originality.
- - It's always the same tour.
I'm so looking forward to it, though.
- - I take everybody on a standard tour
and she's going on it,
but first today, we're gonna head to Kitakyushu
and we're gonna check out some stuff up there.
Kitakyushu and Fukuoka are kind of interesting
'cause they're in the same prefecture
but they're very, very different,
and you'll see why later today.
- - Looking forward to it.
Coffee.
- - Yay!
(upbeat music)
- - [Micaela] And it's quite a long drive.
It's about an hour and a half to our first stop.
I thought this was a good time to ask Sharla some questions.
I tweeted, I was trying to get some good
Would You Rather questions.
I wanted to play Would You Rather, Japan Edition,
with Sharla,
and I asked for some questions,
and not many people contributed.
- - (laughs)
- -They only responded to my questions,
but I will ask them to Sharla anyway.
Would you rather eat natto every day
for the rest of your life--
- - Whatever the other option is.
- - Or never eat mochi again?
- - Never eat mochi again.
- - Really?
- - Yeah, I can't handle the natto.
- - (speaking foreign language)
- - I can't do it.
- - Really? - - Yes.
- - You don't like natto?
- - No, not at all.
Like I can't even eat a little bit of it,
so eating it everyday would just be like
the worst way to spend my life.
- - I wouldn't mind eating natto every day.
I wouldn't love it, but I think I could probably like--
- - Would you ever eat it, like, voluntarily?
- - Yeah. - -Really?
- - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not every day, but, like, I have in the past.
I think you can probably jazz it up with different
ways of eating it. - Yeah.
- Everyday, I think if I had to eat it everyday
I would get creative with how was eating it.
- Yeah, definitely.
- Would you rather be (speaking in foreign language)
every time you opened your mouth,
or only communicate is single
English words and awkward games of charades?
- God, well I feel like we're already
(speaking in foreign language) every time we open
our mouths so I'm kinda used to it.
So I'll go with the first one,
it would be horrible to speak English.
Yeah.
- Yeah, I think the awkwardness of the second one
is what makes it a deal breaker for me.
- Yeah.
- I don't like awkward conversations.
- Yeah.
- Would you rather put umeboshi on your eyeballs,
or walk in shoes filled with ikura?
- That sounds kinda cool, I choose the ikura shoes.
(laughing)
It's be squishy and nice.
- Ugh.
- (continues laughing)
- You're sick.
Would you rather be forced to use a fax machine
or a work computer still running Windows XP?
- (laughing) I don't mind Windows XP.
It was decent, Windows XP.
- Windows XP
- I hate fax machines.
- I know, fax machines are dumb.
- I hate them. - Phase them out (mumbles)
- Please.
- Would you rather never be able to try new drinks
and snacks at conbinis, or never be able
to eat kaiten zushi again?
I feel like this one, you'd-
- -I'd prefer drinks and stuff from combini.
- -Yeah. - -So.
- -I think it's easier to be
be vegan that way. - -I wouldn't be able to
give that up.
(both laughing)
- -I did zushi, there's not very many
things that I eat there anyways.
- -Yeah. I have always said that kaiten zushi
is the McDonald's of sushi.
- - So like, if you wanna get a burger, get a good burger.
- - If you want to get sushi, get good sushi.
- - Yeah, exactly.
- - Kaiten zushi always feels really cheap,
and, like, not fresh to me.
- -Yeah, I used to not care.
I used to think it was amazing.
- -Yeah, I mean the price, I guess, is really good.
- -When you're a student.
- - Yeah.
Would you rather only use chopsticks
for the rest of your life or only use fork
only use a fork for the rest of your life?
- - I'd like chopsticks
Lots of things are easier to eat with chopsticks,
like salad, I love-
- - Salad is surprisingly good, that's true.
Chopsticks are surprisingly versatile,
and you can do a lot with them.
- - The only thing that would be hard would be a dessert,
like a pudding or something,
but other than that,
it's pretty easy to eat anything with chopsticks.
- - Pudding I just shove it in my mouth
- -(laughing)
- - Just drink it.
- -[Micaela] So we are now at the border
between Fukuoka and Yamaguchi prefecture.
There she goes.
- - [Sharla] Got one leg in each prefecture.
- - [Micaela] (laughing)
She's doing it.
(upbeat music)
- -[Micaela] We are in Shiminoseki.
We've crossed the bridge over to Honshu,
and Sharla and I- - - [Sharla] It's so weird,
- -[Micaela] Are checking out-
- -[Sharla] on a new island.
- - [Micaela] Yeah, we left Kyushu-
- -[Sharla] It was so quick.
- - [Micaela] I was like, "I'm gonna take
Sharla around Kyushu!" and then we left.
- - (laughing)
- - [Micaela] So... - -[Sharla] It's nice though.
I'm glad we came here - -[Micaela] Yeah.
We're gonna walk around the Karato Ichiba area.
This has one of the biggest fish markets.
I can't even say the biggest fish market in Kyushu,
'cause it's on Honshu, but
- -[Sharla] Yeah, in the area. - -[Micaela] The biggest
fish market close to Fukuoka.
This is a great day-trip out of Fukuoka,
if you're looking for something to do
when you're spending a long time in Fukuoka
and you want to make a day-trip out of the city.
I really like this.
So, It'll be fun to look around with Sharla.
So, I've picked a few sushi to try here
that look really, really good,
and we're probably gonna sit outside and have them,
and then we're gonna head over to the other side of
Karato Ichiba, and see if there's anything else
interesting to try so that
