    Thank you for taking us along on your journey! You both are delightful and fun to watch! We did the Make a Wish auction on our TA on the Odessey of the Seas in April, the Caption and Cruise director did an amazing job. Jamie the cruise director, since we raised enough money, shaved his head.

    Nancy I love origami! Having taught elementary students from 1st through 5th grades, I found you are never too young (or old) to enjoy creating through origami. I look forward to seeing all your creations. Maybe in a video rather than a short, and you could do a demonstration.🤔😀 Also, I look forward to your adventures in Africa. Just seeing the photo of the giraffes got me excited. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

    • @livingphase2
      @livingphase2  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's a great idea, Nancy actually has another channel that she does a lot of different crafts and things on and she's looking at maybe revitalizing and refreshing that channel. Here's a link to it if you want to see some of the things she's done in the past. Thanks for the great idea and thanks for sailing along with us.

    I currently live in Japan and I’ve heard you mention how cheap it is. You’re right! It’s because the Yen is very, very weak right now. So the Japanese don’t think anything is cheap but it’s a good time to visit.

    We are thinking about a month long trip involving a lot of walking and touring. I was wondering if you all did any special training before the trip so that you were more prepared for the long walks. Also, if you don't mind, could you share how old you are at the time of the time. You seem to be in good shape and don't appear to be having any difficulties. I love "traveling" through your lens. thanks.

    I live in Kagoshima. The port is a bit away from downtown.
    I eat at Steak Ann a lot. Lots of choices to do in a day:
    -Chiran has the Peace Museum (it's a museum describing the kamikaze. It has some very moving letters because many pilots didn't want to die)
    - there is a Satsuma cut glass factory
    - there are sand baths in Ibusuki but a bit far away
    - Sakurajima as you visited
    Cycling around Sakurajima would be a challenge.ive done it several time but the road isn't flat and you'd share it with traffic as there aren't sidewalks... It's rural.
    It looks like you were there before summer... April or May or even earlier based on the jackets people are wearing.
    Did you come from another Japanese port or from Korea? Wondering how passport checks went if it was from Korea.

    • @livingphase2

      @wendyon4517 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@livingphase2 Actually my question was going to be what happened if you went to Korea (probably Cheju) from Japan and then returned to Kagoshima.
      One video I watched recently sailed from Japan to Korea and then back to Japan. They mentioned that the passport inspection on return was a nightmare because 2,000+ people had to be checked at the port and it took hours out of their day. Now this was an alternate port because of a typhoon. They went to Hakodate instead of Kagoshima. I was wondering whether the long wait was because of the sudden change and the need for immigration to prepare or just the way it is.

      It's how it's prepared and how the fat gets marbled into the beef and the content of the fat that makes it melt at exactly the temperature of your mouth. That's what really makes it unique.
