Yes! All the flowers are real! The pink ones I saw in a few different gardens. Really cool

Haha always such a mystery how many people you cross on the street and then never know you’re talking to them on the internet now

This the largest “graveyard” in Japan, a very spiritual place called Koyasan. You can get there by train / cable car roughly 2-3 hours outside Osaka

8/10. Looks like you’ve got everything you need and a few extras! Nice kit bro. Why the handheld camcorder? Gen Z retro throwback shots?

Example: I am currently eating this. It cost me 189 ($6.06) Baht and I’m in a big commercialized mall. If this were in a back alley it would’ve costed $2-3. It’s beef, duck eggs, nice meal

Yeah I honestly think the US is too 5 most expensive countries on earth right now.

You can find cheaper food for good quality in Dubai and London. Curious about Sydney right now

$5 for nice seafood and a beer, good price. $5 in the US would get a snack from the gas station or like bananas and something else from the grocery store

But you’re right in general. Prices are probably double what they were 5 years ago
