Loved this! Facing fears is a hard thing to do. A friend of mine learnt how to swim at an older age, went for adult swimming lessons for those who don't know how to swim; did it in secret and finally told all of us after he had learnt! Perhaps there are classes somewhere in Tokyo, it did absolute wonders for his fear of water, quite understandable if you don't know how to swim. Wonderful walk from Manly Beach - all these lizards are your friends, no need to worry unless you try to pick them up😊
Congratulations Shinichi 😊 I have a huge fear of flying, and your bravery to overcome your fear is inspiring!!! Manly is well worth the trip, it's one of my favourite places in Syd 😊❤
Welcome to my city! I hope you’re having a wonderful visit. Congratulations too on your excellent research skills in finding the best fish and chip place in Manly.
Oh Shinichi I’m so glad you went for a trip to Manly, I love Manly, I lived there for 15 months in the 1970’s. I had a 1/3 day there in November 2015, I had fish and chips from that exact seafood shop and it was just so delicious.. I also went on the walk you’re going on, it’s a really lovely walk.
Way to conquer your fears! Great job, Shinichi. What a gorgeous, active day you had. And, doesn't food always taste so much better after working for it? 😋 Loved your shirt, btw. You looked so summery, fresh, and handsome. Thanks for taking us along with you! 💜
I like the retrospect you’re doing in this video. I never like travelling and i just came back from solo travel in Japan. This took a lot of energy on myself to plan but not overly plan. Slow solo travelling seems to fit with me although i think I’d appreciate a companion or friend along the way, to share some of the experience but i don’t want to burden them with my own plans/interests. I think you did the best thing for yourself: go with the flow that your mood and body tell you to 😊. Walk where you want to go, eat what you feel like, slow down or stop to appreciate things around you. Hope you’re enjoying your journey to the fullest! All the best! 😊
Shinichi you are so brave! First of all going all alone to Australia! Then conquering navigation through the city AND conquering the ferry ride! I hope to be like this when I retire🎉🎉
Your inner journey was more impotant than the beautiful physicsl one you did. My people conquered the Pacific, sailing into the unknown. You are becoming a wayfinder. Congratulations!
Welcome home darling! So nice to see you back! I’m really happy that you are able to soak it all in at 100% this time! Wish you were here for longer so you could experience Aus outside of Sydney. Big love xx
Years ago when my niece was 3 I was visiting and needed to visit Sydney to pick up my passport so I offered to take her with me for an "adventure day" and we would see some ferries. On the ferry over to Manly she was looking into the water intently for so long I asked her what she was looking for. She said "I'm looking for the fairies, you told me we would see the fairies in Sydney!"
Welcome back to Sydney. So pleased you made it to Manly and had some great fish and chips at the corso Have you been to Taronga Zoo? Enjoy the rest of your stay.
I have never traveled alone like you do as I have similar fears even though I do enjoy alone time quite often. Maybe someday I too should become more adventurous!
Yay! Glad you got on the ferry! It kind of freaked me out too when I took it because I'm a bit like you when it comes to boats. I love Manly Beach when it's not too crowded. I get so hungry after watching your videos, lol.
Dear Shinichi! The next time you come to the U.S., please come to Ohio, stay in our guest room and I will teach you to swim!! Floating is very relaxing!! ❤❤
Oh Sinichi, funnily I am planning a solo trip to Japan later this year (I am from Sydney). I congratulate you for pushing yourself past your comfort zone. I also get super anxious on ferries, and have a huge fear of flying as well. The first thing I look for whenever I board a ferry, I start looking for where the lifejackets are kept. I hope I am as brave as you on my trip to Japan.
HELLO ❤ SO PROUD OF U; U are so right 2. BE able 2 KNOW how 2 navigate on UR own especially if this is UR lifestyle & I give me INSPIRATION 2 do so!!! I WILL take the courage 2 do something & venture on My own this YR!!!! THANK U 4 taking US 2 a BEAUTIFUL PLACE & giving UR KIND WORDS so relatable & YES it can be done!!!! ❤❤❤
I'm sorry you don't like ferries. Ferries are so great! Last November I didn't take the Kagoshima ferry, but I took one from Kumamoto to Shimbara and one from Wakayama to Tokushima. Oh, and a boat trip around Kujyuku Islands in Sasebo. Darn it, now I want lemon steak! :)
So glad to hear ypu're enjoying Sydney so far 😊 How were you able to walk through the night market without getting tempted by any of the delicious looking goodies though? 🤤
If you’re near water in eastern Australia you’re sure to find the eastern water dragon. They’re delightful and harmless, and definitely won’t attack you unless you attack it first.
Oh, I'm so jealous! The city where I was born and spent my early youth. Lived in the Bondi Beach area. I now live on the other side of the world. You've been here also: Amsterdam. I would love to visit Sydney again, but it's kind of hard because of stupid immigration/citizenship laws. Anyhow have a fun time over there, it's a wonderful place to be.
If you were born in Sydney why can't you come back? Did you give up your Australian citizenship to live in Europe? My grandfather came to Australia in the 60's from Switzerland and never became a full citizen cause he was too sick for the ceremony. He was in construction for over 30 years, got asbestos poisoning😢
Emperor Garden Bakery 1 Baked Char Siu Bao 2 Ham Siu Gok 3 Char Siu Bao Jian dui or fried sesame ball is more towards the sweet side with red bean, black bean, green bean. At the chemist you can buy magnesium oil which may help with your anxiety with water (this one you would massage). When you're back in Japan you can learn how to float (I tell this to many Asian migrants that move to Australia) this may help you lose some of your fear of water.
I suggest meditating on a floating dock over shallow waters. Just get used to the feeling of the movement while knowing the water is like waste deep and if anything happens you can just stand up. Also swimming lessons. You know the reason for the fears so remove the reason. I believe in you and I know you can be proactive in fighting your fears.
There is a Ben and Jerry's on Omotesanto Boulevard in Tokyo a friend went there on a vacation recently and was surprised to see one in Japan. Not sure if it's still there or not though.
Shinichi….the puff pastry with roast pork is called “char su so”…….”so” basically means flaky……….the “chin du” is actually called “ham siu gok” which means salt water dumpling……”chin du” is actually a similar fried mochi but typically filled with a sweet bean paste…….you guys have been calling it wrong in hawaii……lol……
How were you an Airline attendant, and not worry about falling from the sky…but boats/ships, scare you?????? 👀😂😂😂😂😂😂 Give me a Life Wrath🛟, before you give me a parachute!👀😂😂😂😂😂😢
I read the title and thought it was a Manly, aka he-man like adventure! I did not know that there is a beach called Manly in Sydney. I know this is why I watch videos like yours---I can learn about the world. And, therefore not be a total imbecile about geography! I would guess that those nice lizards are eating the spiders. And some other rather unpleasant critters!
With a title like that, I was kinda expecting you to go wrestle saltwater crocodiles in the nude or whatever Australians might do to demonstrate their masculinity, but it turns out that's just the name of the place... facing your fears is pretty manly, though. Don't forget the reflection (what's the worst that could've happened, but didn't after all?) and positive reinforcement (feel proud for overcoming that hurdle) with exposure therapy, though.

How i've missed Manly beach & aussie land!!! Thank you for bringing back all these memories!!!!
Welcome to my city! I hope you’re having a wonderful visit. Congratulations too on your excellent research skills in finding the best fish and chip place in Manly.
That fish and chips was the best I’ve had!

Why brave? We’re a very safe country to visit, and our good public transport system makes Sydney a comfortable place to navigate.
@Dinki-Di You're clearly new here. Shinichi has severe anxiety which gets him down. He's brave for conquering his fears and anxieties!
🤗 I wish you windy hair and sandy feet and the blessing of the sea 🌊 breeze as much as you want 😄😎
Lovely footage makes me want to go to Sydney, oh wait, I was there last weekend lol
So proud of you getting on the ferry to Manly!! I'm so glad you faced your fears and were able to enjoy yourself!!🎉
Your inner journey was more impotant than the beautiful physicsl one you did.
My people conquered the Pacific, sailing into the unknown.
You are becoming a wayfinder. Congratulations!
Congratulations, you did it way to face your fear!!!!
Thank you!! 😊
That was a great video of Manly Beach and the Chinatown treats. Great looking Dim Sum at the Bakery. You did great traveling by ferry!

Welcome back to Sydney. So pleased you made it to Manly and had some great fish and chips at the corso Have you been to Taronga Zoo?
Enjoy the rest of your stay.
I actually didn’t make it to the zoo. I’ll explain what happened at the end of my trip.
Good achievement riding a ship and liking lizards. Your choices from the bakery looked good.
I have never traveled alone like you do as I have similar fears even though I do enjoy alone time quite often. Maybe someday I too should become more adventurous!
Yay! Glad you got on the ferry! It kind of freaked me out too when I took it because I'm a bit like you when it comes to boats. I love Manly Beach when it's not too crowded. I get so hungry after watching your videos, lol.
Such beautiful scenery, majestic views and beautiful places!
Nice to travel. Glad

The first item from Emperor's Garden is called Char Siew Sou (triangle pastry). Very delicious 😊
❤
Congratulations on your ferry voyage. Perhaps now you might consider a luxury liner, or cruise? I'm so happy for you! ⛴️🚢😊
しんいちさん、怖がりやね😂
でも一生懸命働いて初めての場所に行って様々な体験をするのは貴重です
自分は介護があるので外国へ行けないですが行った気になるのでありがたいです
恥ずかしいぐらい怖がりなんですよ。😖
Aloha 🌺🥰
SO SHINICHI Do we have A BEAUTIFUL HARBOUR!!!!! ?
