1. 17:20 what a fascinating thought. Almost a "high" experience. lol
2. The plant Eric worried about getting his hand eaten was a male cycad - some of the oldest plants on the planet.
   The seaweed that tasted vinegary was mozuku.
   I didn't get a proper look at the turtle but it looked a bit like a red-eared slider. A popular pet turtle from southern US and now on the UN's list of 100 most invasive species.
   The "palm tree" was a tree fern. You'll see them in Kyushu too. You'll also see them in "The Last Samurai" because that was mostly filmed in NZ where there are lots. (That's why you occasionally feel you're in Lord of the Rings. The remainder was mainly on Shoshazan behind Himeji.
   Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of a fungus. The vegetative part is called mycelium.
   Eric - never lose your boyish enthusiasm. It's catching. Great movie.
3. 1:00 Oh my gosh, Eric is using a fork. Okay, who lost the chopsticks?
4. Aww man the Pineapple Factory is really cool. You could have tried the different wines and cookies and cakes and visit the shop where you can buy different food items. I was hoping you guys would have gone in. I haven't been there in years but we visited often when ever people came over to visit.
5. Japan = Rick
   Kyde and Eric = Morty
6. After binging on their vids all week, I'm finally able to put my finger on it. K&E are a very toned down version Simon & Martina by several decibels. S&M are very animated, silly, & pg rated. K&E are very chill w/ a witty, dry, very sarcastic rated R type of humor. I enjoy the contrast of both channels & that's why I'm happily subscribed to both.
7. But your Are great..
8. I dont agree with Animal abuse
9. Your japanese has really improved!😍
10. Hey "kyde"!! How do you really pronounce your name? It really sounds almost like, "kady", short for Katherine. I thought it be a weird spelling for Katherine. Where is your name coming from?
11. Hello Kyde and Eric! I just wanted to share with you (if you don't already know about it) that you actually CAN make a puzzle of any picture (why not an epic scenery of a city, it's my personal favorite when it comes to puzzles). All you need is the app/program Microsoft Jigsaw and you can make a virtual puzzle out of any picture. Unfortunately the "expert" level only lets you (at least me) divide the picture into 216 pieces. Great vids. Keep up the good work and props to Eric for exercising that hitchhiker's thumb. You're the champ!
12. Hello Eric and Kyde, interesting video, I live in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and I am going to visit Okinawa next week and watching you guys, had opened my interest o explore more Okinawa. Blessings. Keep up the fantastic work!
13. at the end of the video . eric your voice is gone away .... because of the booze ?
14. are you guys talking about calamansi...the lemon thing in Philippines?
15. I recently read a National Geographic article on Facebook that some souvenirs in asian countries should be avoided. I saw Kyde regretting the drink with the snake in it. The article says on rare occasions that the snake could be in a catatonic state in the jar, and could come snap out of it in the right conditions.
16. the princess bride lol
17. Nice videos! I also have made a small compilation of our trip in Okinawa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7fKa4mTxbA
    If I have the money I will go back there heheh.
18. How often do you guys come back to the U.S. and do you get updates on what's going on back here? Love the vids (especially food) and your videos are the main reason why I'd like to vacation to Japan.
19. Eric, Google Larry Ellison's house in Calif....ridiculously wealthy Japanese style house.
20. note to self, TRY DIFFERENT FOODS!
