how you doing everybody hold on a second.

Sorry, I was talking with the staff here.

The manager who I come quite often to to the Tokyo station post office.

You can see Tokyo station is just across the street right there and I was discussing about the mail to europe right now.

A lot of it has been canceled due to the lack of just flights being canceled there and I wanted to give you the latest information I'm doing at a time that is also more convenient to our viewers in the european union and on the other side of the of of Russia.

So I hope that this information can be a little bit helpful to some.

I just every month I send a few 100 postcards to Patreon supporters who watch and support this series and it's been a little bit challenging to do that.

I have a list here of yesterday Um this is, it says here on March eight you see on the top there the United Kingdom, Finland France, Germany, Monaco like Belgium.

These are some really big countries that get a lot of mail were was stopped here.

You see on the, on the left side uh there's a circle, it says that there is mail going there by air and then on the right side you can see there's now an ex and there's no mail going to England and France and Belgium and Germany, so that means that I have to hold on to the postcards until the international mail opens up again.

I checked the departures board at Haneda and Narita airports.

And the flights to paris the flights to Frankfurt flights going to continental uh, europe are have been canceled.

According to Japan, post mail is still going to places like Switzerland.

I think Holland, the Netherlands still has male but there's like an asterix saying that it could change and be canceled tomorrow.

So don't send the mail because we don't know the situation.

We also have, I also have viewers in Ukraine and of course the mail, there has been um canceled or suspended and they're not sure when it's going to restart.

We're not sure when flights are going to be able to go.

A lot of the flights that depart from Narita and Haneda, they go right over Russia and right now because of the war that's going on over there is really impacted male.

Um, in fact, mail everywhere has been impacted rates have gone up and in june I got a bunch of announcements that have to do with the male.

Starting in june um, small packet mail doubles in price.

It used to be, I don't know you could send up to like 100 g and it was just a couple 100 yen.

It starts at $24 or or 2400 and which is more in line to what the United States charges for international airmail.

So it doesn't matter if you're sending a small small packet starting in june you can send up to a kilogram for 22,400 yen.

Changing is changing its prices and and and that's getting a lot more expensive.

So the mail services all over the world are really suffering.

You can see it's the snow monkeys from Nagano.

I went there to film this episode is gonna be dropping I think next week where I take you and and watch the monkeys relaxing.

I have some really beautiful stamps on here.

I'm gonna be sending these two viewers in the United States.

There's certain places I could still get it.

I think I have a few viewers in africa and a few viewers in south America.

There are also getting a postcard sent to them.

But unfortunately male is not going to be going to europe.

But don't worry because I've been holding on.

I've only got two postcards to India to Saudi Arabia to Romania.

There's like about seven countries that have been holding on postcards for over.

I think India for over two years and there's several backers that just keep on as a member of the postcard club and I can't say thank you enough for that.

I just feel really apologetic that I can't send these out if I did.

There's a very high likelihood despite it not being on that list.

I showed you that it will be canceled and suspended.

And if I'm sending a postcard there's no return address so I'm not gonna get that back.

Do you have any questions As I pan up, this is the Tokyo Central Post Office.

I I go in there, they just smile and says, oh you're back.

It's a two year old per leader here in in uh, in Germany.

So the gas prices are going up right now.

Every everything is going up and it's just a really challenging time And Uh, Tokyo Paul 3 60.

And I know that um, you know, because we do have viewers in Ukraine, I hope you're waking up to um, to safety and you know, we're all really here in Japan.

It's, it's on the news and we're all talking about it and we just got some refugees coming in to Japan a grand total of like eight, not a lot, but there are some Ukrainians who have family in.

Japan, Japan has opened the doors to them and hopefully there's a lot more where they come here because it's pretty cool.

Um, to have some faces here that are different.

We just don't have any international tourism whatsoever.

I, I know that your package is in transit to now.

So I was able to send some of the fireworks.

I'm panning around Tokyo station right now.

I was able to send some of the fireworks Kickstarter rewards before that this happened and a lot of them have, have already arrived into europe and the countries.

So those packages are not impacted, but the ones that are starting from yesterday, not going to be able to go to europe at this time and the suspension, it's not, it's not determined for how long, but it is a temporary suspension.

Packages to Canada are also suspended currently.

So R E M S to Australia and Australia also has small packets suspended.

But I'm guessing that that's going to change since Australia has opened its door to tourism recently.

You're seeing a live picture of Tokyo station right now.

So I just wanted to give you an update if you have any questions on this mail, I'll be checking it over the next 24 hours, just leave a comment down below and I'm happy to answer you Jonathan.

Hey Jonathan in Singapore writes in here.

I got the fireworks starter package in Singapore.

Um, we, we had to make just a little asterix on there, we ended up losing about $2,000 from that project because I don't even know why I'm smiling.

I'm just happy that I was able to get the packages out before they shut it down in Europe.

Um because we had to send them by DHL because Japan post wasn't sending them and we couldn't have the packages sitting because the Japan fireworks association needed to get those packages out and they were in charge of sending it.

But um, we went way over budget on the sending of it.

So if you didn't receive your package, please let me know, I don't know what we can do to help you out with that.

Um because we don't, as I said, we're like under budget, but any package that has returned to us, we're going to make an effort to try to get that package to you, probably get in contact and see how we can resend it.

Um I think we had a deal with DHL because we had kind of a volume of packages to send out, but DHL is really expensive um to use those services, we just don't have a lot of options.

Um, but the post is going up everywhere, so it's not just um, you know, the suspensions, the uncertainty, it's, it's hit really hard and it's something that's weighing on my mind very heavily because I know um this channel is greatly funded by viewers who are so, um, like these postcards that I'm sending out, they're nice postcards.
