The young gentlemen did not seem happy to be there... at all. Next time I'll swap with him :P

[erichschlaikjer]

Actually, he is as happy as a clam. But , like a clam, you can't tell. Such is the Way of the Teenager. (And he just did not hear me on the summit of Fuji.) I hope you do get to go.

What part of japan has more urban like houses?

HOLY COW the boys got WAY BIGGER!

Is japan one of your most favorite places to travel?

[erichschlaikjer]

I am not sure what you mean about the houses. I rewatched the video and saw some houses in the part where we leave Fujiyoshida. Japanese houses all look pretty similar, though I thought the ones in Akame looked particularly prosperous.

The kids keep getting bigger, all right. That's one reason I keep videoing them. How quickly their childhood passes!

Yes, we love traveling in Japan. Great food, great scenery, great people.

[gewunden]

Wonderful video.

Your blog is interesting too.

Please take care of your toenails.

7:35 is Pheretima sieboldi, the second largest earthworm in Japan:)

[erichschlaikjer]

That is fantastic information, thanks!

Of course it leads to the question, what is the *largest* earthworm in Japan, and how many people can it wrestle at once?

lucky kid

[ysdsyk]

Your son, Ross became a adolescent !

He is so lucky because he has traveled many countries.

You are so good father, i think.

あのかわいい少年が３年も経つと逞しくなるんですね～。

日本はどうだったんだろう。富士山のぼったのすごいです！！

[akosakoakosako]

Asia is not made one bundling. You are too ignorant . To get over the hunger many times, it ate the animal in Japan.

However, it did not do so for the luxury.

[comefromjapan]

thx for coming to japan.

hope you come again.

From his father's HP

Ross uncomplainingly walked until it got dark. I was unaware that his toes were all bloody. Even five months later the nails have not fully grown back. He gets this lack of complaint from his mother

[PondusMaccus]

Asian people eat every animal they could catch i dont like that

[moukari1234]

日本人でもあまり行かない場所に行ってますねｗ

若い人なら秋葉原などの方が楽しめるかもね。

日本旅行したくなってきたわ・・・面倒で結局行かないだろうけど­。新鮮なご当地料理食いたい～～
