    If I ever were to move to Japan, because let's face it, it must be an incredible place to live, it would be were I was basically self-employed and made enough money to live comfortably but only having to work 30-40 hours a week. Likely won't happen, but you can dream.

      When you get into your 30s, then get really serious if you haven't built an income or have some money in the bank. As the other guy said, of course don't mess around for too long UNLESS you make it possible.

      He didn't mention that his friend's restaurant is actually way out west an hour and twenty minutes by train from Shinjuku and even further from the other areas where people usually go as tourists in Tokyo, so you'd have to make quite a special trip. It's a good area to go hiking in the mountains and forest, though, if that's what you want to do, and you can visit a nice onsen out there. But I guess he doesn't know those rather obvious things. Also, I think his friend would tell you that "top Ramen maker in Japan" is a goal, not an accepted fact, as very few would have ever heard of his restaurant or tried it all the way out there, though it may be tasty ramen. Backpackers don't really know much about the places they visit. Some funny things I heard him say were "it takes five hours to go from Osaka to Tokyo on shinkansen" (it takes about half that), "It takes two hours to go from Osaka to Kyoto by car" (it takes only 40 minutes, but who goes by car?), and saying "irrashaimasen" instead of "irrashaimase" gives it the opposite meaning. He doesn't know much about Japan, but at least he was polite, friendly, and humble.

    I don't watch travel blogs because they're usually super annoying "influencer" style of showing off. But once I discovered your channel by mistake (was looking up India stuff and then your India videos came into my feed) I couldn't stop! Over the past couple of weeks I've literally watched every single video of your Ireland to Japan series and am left hungering for more! So now I'm starting to watch the older stuff from South America etc. Holy SHIT what a TRIP! Love your attitude and how you handle the ups and downs! And WTF the crazy antics you've allowed yourself to get into... like dude how are you even still alive! The most memorable moments for me: 1) the hilarious pineapple moonshine drunk in Myanmar 2) the crazy "suit" propaganda guy in Iraq. Jesus... I'm glad you weren't alone during that part. 3) That moment when you'd reached Istanbul and you were tearing up, so proud of how far you'd come - I teared up with you! 4) All the really scary or tough moments - I felt your fear and your desperation right along with you 5) But also all the moments of elation and success and experiencing the kindness and generosity of so many people. Thank you for this channel Conner. I hope you're now making enough money with your TH-cam channel and Patreon that you never have to worry about corporate jobs again!

    This is a great episode! It made me an instant subscriber! Friends like that are more like family, that you cannot take for granted, and must be grateful that you get to breathe the same air in their presence; kinda like being in the presence of a living legend! He is an older soul for sure who will accomplish many great endeavors, because of his approach and humility in life! Thank you!

    Love watching your stuff. Raw, authentic, not canned. It's great that you don't know what you are doing!

    I rode the bullet train there as well during my time in Japan. I felt your excitement and it brought back memories watching you walk through Japanese countryside. My Fuji is a vibe!! For sure!!!

    What an amazing guy who own such a great ramen shop and is such a good person. We'd love to have you in America. Always great to have more great Japanese food. I hope he brings his adorable parents with him when he comes here.
