      @susie2251 3 ปีที่แล้ว +53

      @@rhino1876 it is considered nutritious and hydrating today, but the real backstory has more to do with capitalism and product marketing. Many Japanese homes didn’t have refrigerators well into the 20th century and makers of coffee milk (and later just milk) realized that bathhouses were a good place to set up vending machines with their product because they were places that were frequently visited by the public and in most neighborhoods (baths also being rare in Japanese homes too). So it became common to find the vending machines in bathhouses. Now, it’s just become something that Japanese people associate together...drinking milk after an onsen or public bath visit.

      I guess it makes sense that they would serve hamburgs in a first-class affair - after all, the Japanese don't get access to beef all that much, so getting a wide selection of different types of hamburg is probably a delicacy to them.

    The ferry seems like a very comfortable way to travel: I’d imagine that you could sleep very well in that kind of cabin, and the food options didn’t look too bad. I think I would try it if I had the time.

    I recently lost my dear wife to pancreatic cancer. We used to travel by ship, by train, and by car. We had retired and we looked forward to spending our sunset years together. But it was not to be. Now I don't want to travel because if I return to the places that we visited together, the pain of remembrance will be too great. And sadness will overtake me. These calm and interesting videos somehow give me comfort for I can stay home but still share in the experience. Thank you.

      It's well inside the northern hemisphere, so if this was shot close to the date of uploading it's not a very surprising thing. The sun rises at roughly the same time in Turkey, Spain and NYC (depending on where in the time zone you are)

      It rises at that time too in the summer in the USA. It rises at that time everywhere in the world in the summer. Time zones are consistent. Daylight savings time is what messes it up so it rises at 5am due to the time adjustment.

      @@frankiegiltner6163 No it doesn't rise at the same time everywhere in the world. Compare sunrises on june 21 between Capetown, SA and Helsinki, Finland and you'll see quite the difference, while they're both in the same timezone. Sunrises are the same at all longitudes at the same latitude, but they differ across latitudes

      @@frankiegiltner6163 Ever heard of the Midnight sun? Go north enough and the sun doesn't set in summer. Heck, most of Sweden won't have any darkness in the middle of summer. The opposite is true in winter. In December it can get dark really early and the sun barely rise. Further north, the sun doesn't rise for several weeks.

      Not sure of the size on a ferry, but public baths tend to be huge to accommodate lots of people. Mix that with the low passenger amount and he probably gets an entire spa to himself.
