To-infinitive

But because I'm rubbish, I think the last time I did it was three, about three years ago. So today, to celebrate the upcoming

You can even see the.. just realised you can see the tire of the bicycle in the background. Should have, should have thought about that

but today I'm gonna be reading out your questions guys. Questions you've sent in, deep, personal, far-reaching questions that will challenge me both intellectually and

If you were a fish, would you eat donuts?

Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses? Hehehehe

There's pineapple belong on pizza? You know, there was a time when I used to love ham and pineapple pizza

There's kind of saltiness of the ham mixed with the juiciness and sweetness of the pineapple

It was beautiful was like a taste explosion of flavors in my mouth

But that was when I was 7 years old, and I was an idiot by all accounts. Now, I know better it doesn't work

It's a stupid combination and I hate it. Get out

if you were a fish would you eat donuts? You bet I

fucking would. If I were a fish I'd take whatever I could get, if some human was stupid enough to throw a doughnut in a lake

I would be the first one to get it and nothing, NOTHING, would stand in my way

I think one horse-sized duck.  I think if you're looking at a hundred

duck-sized horses. It's going to require a 100 to 150 rounds to take them down

horse-sized duck you could do it with at least two to three rounds to the head

But if we're talking about one-on-one fistfight, I would flip that around and I would take down a hundred duck-sized horses. With my shoes

Could I survive in Japan being a ginger person? No, you'll be incinerated. Yes, you'll be fine. Just remember to wear lots of sunscreen

And take an umbrella in the summer months. Otherwise, you'll end up looking like this.

What inspired you to be a youtuber?  I remember before I came to Japan

I started going online, on YouTube, and looking for vloggers, people that were living here

And so I could kind of get an insight into life in Japan

And I came across this video of a Canadian girl slowly, but passionately eating some bread

And I saw that this groundbreaking act had been watched by over 1 million people

It was then I thought I know I could probably do that as well

Although I could never have imagined that I'd become friends with the aforementioned bread girl. This is quite cool, isn't it?

You can watch someone on the screen and then then you can become their friend exciting world we live in

What is your favorite board game?  My favorite board game is Monopoly

Nothing beats the thrill of kicking your family's ass by having an empire that spans the board of houses and hotels

Unless I lose in which case I hate it. It's the worst game ever

What's an activity or hobby you have in Japan

you would never have considered doing at home in the UK? Walking down a dark alleyway at night. Seriously,

I don't think I'd ever do that in the UK.

I'd never have started if I didn't move here because I would have felt like I'd have nothing to vlog about

I'm not interesting enough to ever warrant doing it

And so yeah, probably YouTube and alleyways what's a video or topic you want to do?

But haven't had the funds connections or time to accomplish it

I think if there was no limit to what I could do, I would produce a video

comparing Japanese convenience store Fried Chicken

So, you know, we'd look at Lawson's Fried Chicken Family Mart Fried Chicken. 7-eleven Fried Chicken

You know within the space of an hour everything that's worried me as health considerations and certainly in the run-up to the psycho

I've been trying to be healthy and not eat things like that

I'd also love to make an 80s style music video with a kind of Blade Runner

Aesthetic I'd probably do that in Osaka or Tokyo. I just haven't had the time to do it

Well there we are passing through Osaka during the cycle so could do it then

I'd also love to make some short films as well something. I'm looking at doing next year making some short films

But yeah, the main factor is always just time having the time to write it, script it, produce it

It all takes so much time. How long did it take for you to be able to hold a conversation in Japanese?

I think it took about a year to have a conversation that was good. Sure after a few months

I could say basic phrases like hi. I'm Chris. This is a pen. I like pens

Do you like pens? Took me about a year to transcend that level of breaking conversation? Have you ever met Yakuza? You bet I have

But I've probably spoken to somebody who's been a member of the yakuza who just didn't tell me, who wasn't open about it

But I've never spoken to anybody who said "I'm a yakuza" and then talked to me about it

So I guess no. Is the plant in the background real or fake?

The plant in the background? It's actually it's actually real - a real fake plant. I'll show you why it's here

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, don't tell anyone. It's actually there

To mark to hide the mark on the wall. Look at that. This was left by the leather sofa

Somehow the leather rubbed off on the crappy cheap wall and did that so we put the plant there and nobody's any the wiser

It's just a secret between me and you don't tell anyone

In your opinion, what's the one thing from Japan that's worth bringing back as a souvenir the most?

Sense of self worth and the new sake Kit Kat flavour. It's amazing tastes incredible. Definitely take some home with you

It'd be a crime not to. What is the meaning of life?  -To be subscribed to the Abroad in Japan channel

..and probably something about being happy

It's so inspiring having easy access to positive people like you online, especially when I'm having an off day

What life lesson experience has made you such a positive person?

Yeah, yeah positive. That's me. I like to start every day with a smile

Yeah... it's not convincing is it? I wouldn't say I'm actually that positive I just don't let negative things get to me

I think it's less about being happy and smiley and positive all the time and more about just

Not letting crap things get you down. I think I've been lucky to surround myself with good people

stood in the way of anything I wanted to do.

It amazes me how many people I've talked to who complain about the people around them

Puts them down or makes them feel bad or stands in the way of their dream or goal if you have anyone in your life

Like that cut them out and get rid of them. Don't ever compromise on the people you choose to spend your time with

Life's too short for all that crap. That got serious very quick. Didn't it? bloody hell. Oh, why do we exist?

Seven years ago. I went to the Caribbean and I laid down in this hammock

Oh my fuck it was a revelation floating in the Caribbean breeze with the Sun beating down upon my face

Personified existence better than any sentence ever could and not a single day has passed since then that I haven't thought about that

Moment seven years ago in that hammock. And so that's it. That's the meaning of existence for me

You know, we've all gotta find our kind of a unique hammock moment
