I wish my grandkids could have seen this before they went to Japan, the younger one wouldn't have been such a pain in the butt ''being bored'' yes, I heard that collective eye roll. George you give us a view of your world we could all relate to and be comfortable in your home country. Thanks for the Fun !! as always !!!!
In March I'm finally going to realize my dream of visiting this wonderful country. I hope I can bring back good memories of Japan. Although my trip is scheduled during the high season, many of the events I like will be available. I'm going to do my best to go to AnimeJapan to try and see Toki Shunichi there and I also plan to go to Universal Studios Japan, after all, the Kimetsu no Yaiba event will be happening again. Would I be able to meet George too? 😊 A great video and always with great information on tourism in Japan. It will certainly help me a lot during my stay in the country. Nice video, George!
Can foreigners enter the lottery and win? If you came to the US and bought a lottery ticket and won, I don't think they'd let you collect the money if it was over a few dollars. Then, there is a state by state issue with that.
Hi George 👋🏻….. May I ask what prefecture you live in or better yet town or city?? You probably mentioned it already I'm just curious if you're at liberty to say 😊
It's always good to see you 😁
P.S. George do they sell black sesame candy in Japan?
Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. —1 Corinthians 1:27
There are a lot of misperceptions about Mary. On one hand, people place her on a pedestal. And on the other hand, she is ignored and misunderstood. But Mary was a godly person living in a godless place.
And she showed us that it’s possible for someone to live a godly life even while living in the midst of an ungodly environment. Mary lived in Nazareth, which, for the most part, was not a popular destination.
God could have chosen someone from Rome to bear the Messiah. After all, Rome was ruling most of the world at that time. God could have chosen someone from Jerusalem, the spiritual capital of the world. Or, God could have chosen someone from Athens, the intellectual and cultural capital of the world.
But God didn’t choose someone from any of these places. Instead, He chose a young woman who was living in Nazareth.
Roman soldiers overran Nazareth, an obscure place known for its wickedness. That is why Nathanael, when he heard that Jesus was from Nazareth, said, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” (John 1:46).
Yet God chose Mary and this obscure place to accomplish His purpose. He chose an unknown teenager living in an unknown place to bring about the most known event in human history: the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It seems that God goes out of His way to choose the most unexpected people to accomplish His plans. The Bible is filled with examples of the most ordinary individuals being chosen by God to do the most extraordinary things.
Mary was genuinely humble. She was surprised when the angel Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, . . . for you have found favor with God! You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David” (Luke 1:30–32)
When we think of certain men and women of the Bible, we see them in their greatness because of what God did. But remember, when God called David, he was a shepherd boy whose father didn’t even acknowledge him. Yet God instructed the prophet Samuel to anoint David as the next king of Israel.
When God chose Gideon, he was hiding from his enemies. And when God called Simon Peter, he was out catching fish. But the Lord raised him up to be one of the great apostles. And God chose Mary to bring about the arrival of the Messiah.
The apostle Paul wrote, “Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful” (1 Corinthians 1:26–27)
This is so cool – I really would like to see Japan – but I'd need maybe 3 weeks (?) to really get the flavor. Travel when you're young folks. By mid-career as a desk jockey, you just don't have the time – not even getting into kids and school, etc.
Are you broke and wanna get tipsy??!! You're too funny 😁 In CA we have a chain called "Dollar Tree" and it's difficult to find anything in it for $1.00!!! You're getting bananas outta vending machines over there. We are so behind the times 😊😅😂 Have a beautiful day George!
I am coming to Tokyo for the 3rd time this February and I am excited (not for Japan but for me) that the exchange rate is so favourable for me, especially using Euros. However, I noticed a lot of restaurants when I am trying to book they give different prices (increased) for 2024 due to inflation.

I am saving this video for when I go to Japan next year… this is GOLD! Thank you, George! 🙏

こんにちは、ジョージさん、お久しぶりです！ 😊
🇲🇦🇯🇵
Are you broke and wanna get tipsy??!! You're too funny 😁
In CA we have a chain called "Dollar Tree" and it's difficult to find anything in it for $1.00!!!
You're getting bananas outta vending machines over there. We are so behind the times 😊😅😂
Have a beautiful day George!
Thanks Geooorge

I miss Japan! I'm so jealous you have access to fantastic food, variety & it's affordable! Just have to know where to go!
In California, Ikea meatball is OK. I think I prefer Costco's hot dog & drink or slice of pizza.
Hope Japan will be okay with yen being weak & inflation.
Hi George! How are you? 😊

Thank you so much for such informative video ! To me , I always spend most money in meals. Now you make travelling to Japan more affordable! ❤
I loved it, I didn't imagine I could eat so much for just $1. Oh, I loved the guitar solo scene!😆
Very thorough and interesting video! Thank you for sharing 🙂 Cheers from Georgia, USA.
