hey guys
happy new year and welcome to the first video of the year
It's been pretty chill around here
I hope you guys have all had a really good start to the year
i've just been kind of chilling at home
it's been so snowy in Sendai
that I don't really want to go out
because there's so much snow on the sidewalks
and I walk everywhere
it's a bit of a pain in the ass
but today is super sunny which is amazing
because my friend Cassie's coming out from Tokyo
i'm going to be showing her around the city
I thought I would invite you guys
because we haven't really gotten out to see
Sendai together at all yet
so I hope you enjoy seeing my new neighbourhood
here in japan
I don't know what we're going to get up to
we're just kind of going to go with the flow
see if we find some fun stuff to do
first we're going to grab some caffeine
i'm going to bring her to the new
Tully's tea shop that just opened at
sendai station because they have
an extensive menu of milk tea
which is just so delicious
if you're looking for a really good milk tea
I feel like Tully's cafe does the best ones
and they do soy milk if you don't like dairy
so let's go meet Cassie
grab a milk tea
and then we will be off on our adventures
I hope you enjoy the video
oooh
(gasps)
winter tea
so look at their selection of milk tea
it's so much better than usual
there's so much tea
they have peach and matcha smoothie
what's Russian tea?
I have no idea
intriguing
and then
yeah coffee
but we both like tea
so I'm going to get
I always get the French vanilla one
I might try the Chai
I might get this Winter tea
with soy
this Winter tea looks amazing
oh it's a fruit
fruit and there's honey
and yeah
good choice
[Music]
all right we got our one day pass for
the bus
and the chikatetsu subway
it only cost 920 yen
and we can use it all day long
so it's pretty cool if you want
to come up to sendai
and do like a little touristy day trip
you probably want to get one of these passes
so i put this in
cool and then it stamps it with a date
and then when you get on the bus you
have to show the date to the bus driver
that's how you use the bus
[Music]
we're going to a honey shop a honey shop
yeah and why are we going there because
it's runs my favorite band and i'm
not a crazy fan
cassie's a huge fan of monkey magic
they're a band that's based here in
sendai they're also canadian
and one of the members one or two of the
members two members the two brothers run
a honey shop here in sendai so
that's what we're attempting to get to
it's out in the middle of nowhere
literally middle okay so clock one four
four okay
there's so much snow out here
there's nothing left in sendai but we're
kind of out in the mountains now so
lots of snow piled up
i have exciting news so i've started
collecting photos of the pokemon
manholes that they have throughout japan
and i was looking on the website and
there was one out here in the middle of
nowhere in tomia so miyagi i feel like
has the most out of any prefecture
there's 35 different pokemon manholes
and yeah luckily there's one here in the
mountains of nowhere
on the outskirts of sendai so we're
gonna go hunting for that today
hopefully i can find it while i'm out
here because i probably won't be coming
back here again
another goal we have for today
adventures oh wow look at this oh it's
like an old town what's this i think is
this where we're going we're going
around it but it's really cool we'll go
in there later
i wonder what's going on in there it
looks like sake they make sake
warehouses
very cool
look at this little road that we have to
take to get to the honey shop
this is such a pretty little town
i'm glad we came out here i probably
wouldn't have come out here
there's no one here
oh there's cafes and everything
little shops
Eight Crowns
so this is the honey shop here it's in
this really cool old
building
[Music]
cassie got her fancy honey yay and now
we're gonna go look for the pokemon
manhole which is hopefully not covered
in snow and we can see it
why is there a postcard
oh what's that oh it's all the oh
so there's stamps manholes oh my god are
they stamps of like the manhole maybe
i think they are it's the tomio one what
okay so our day plan might have just
changed we might have to we might have
to do this spend the whole day
i'm not sure
this is so cool so they've got a little
booklet here
and in the locations with the manholes
you can also collect stamps i'm a sucker
for anything you collect love it
we'll definitely have to do this oh and
i guess if you get all the stamps you
can maybe win a lapras oh a little
lapras plushie
i'm probably gonna buy one anyway but
CASSIE: Awesome! (SHARLA: Yes)
SHARLA: That's cute.
SHARLA: This is so exciting.
SHARLA: It must be up there.
CASSIE: Let's see. SHARLA: Maybe up on the road.
CASSIE: Oh, up by like the parking lot. SHARLA: Yeah.
SHARLA: Right here.
SHARLA: It says it's like..
SHARLA & CASSIE: Here.
CASSIE: Over there maybe?
CASSIE: Oh, yes! There it is! SHARLA: Yaaay!
SHARLA: That's such a random spot.
CASSIE: You would never find that.
SHARLA: Oh, they went, they dug it out.
SHARLA: Look at the snow, yay.
SHARLA: Sweeet. CASSIE: How did we find that? That's intense.
SHARLA: I don't know, I'm so glad that I checked.
CASSIE: We're just like in a parking lot.
SHARLA: All right we're gonna hire a taxi to take us to the next manhole.
SHARLA: We came all the way out here. We can not get the other one.
CASSIE: We need to. SHARLA: That would just be a waste.
SHARLA: He was like what's your name. I'm like Sharla.
He's like Sowada-san (? nothing like Sharla).
I was like, yeah, sure, whatever. CASSIE: Sure, whatever.
SHARLA: That works.
CASSIE: You're gonna be like.. SHARLA: You're gonna be shocked when you come to get us.
CASSIE: The foreigner, who's like, that's not you!
SHARLA: Alright, we got a taxi and we're on our way to the next stamp.
