Waching daily May 30 2017

Why hello there!

Today I want to make another travel tips video, and this one's going to be for Fox Village

in Miyagi Prefecture.

Recently Fox Village has kind of blown up on the internet, and I've seen a lot of viral

videos about it, so I think quite a few people will be wanting to plan trips there in the

near future, however, it was one of the more complicated trips that I made around Japan,

and so I wanna help you guys have fun and not have to worry so much about the logistics

of it when you go.

So, as usual, I'll be formatting this video by first talking about why I really enjoyed

my trip to Fox Village, then we'll talk about the logistics of getting there, getting around

and where to stay, and finally I'll just talk about some random things that I think it might

be helpful to know before going.

Throughout the video I'll also be linking my own videos from our trip to Fox Village

up here somewhere, and I also have some photography from Fox Village that I will link in the description

bellow.

So, let's get started!

The basics are that Fox Village is in Zao-mura, or Zao Village, which is a tiny little village

in the mountains of Miyagi Prefecture.

The whole area is absolutely stunning, but we'll talk more about that in a second.

So first I want to talk about what you can expect from a trip to Fox Village itself,

because of course that is the main attraction.

I'm not gonna spend too long on this, because suffice to say - it's exactly how you'd expect

it to be.

So I'd seen photos and videos online of Fox Village and I was kind of worried that it

wouldn't live up to my expectations, but it absolutely did.

It was amazing, such an incredible and fun experience.

So when you first go through the gates to Fox Village, you'll be in a little petting

zoo area, which is where they raise the baby foxes and there's also some other domesticated

type animals there, like rabbits and rats and things like that.

You can feed and touch some of these animals, but just be aware that the signs that tell

you not to touch them are serious.

Okay, so after that you can go through to the main attraction area, which is the free

roaming fox area, like free-range foxes, and this was just incredible, it looked exactly

like everything that I'd seen online about it.

The foxes just roam free, they don't really care about people at all, sometimes they'll

come up to you and interact with you, it's amazing.

Really really amazing, I cannot speak highly enough of it, and I'm sure if you're watching

this video you've probably already seen all the videos online, and it's just like that,

let me tell you.

Just like that.

Okay, so apart from that you can also hold foxes in the petting zoo area, I think once

every hour or so they have a fox hug time, um, where you can line up and you'll be given

a fox to hold.

Highly recommend doing this, of course, I mean, you're in Fox Village, you might as

well hug a fox, right?

So definitely check the times for that and be sure to get in on some of that fox hug

action if you want to.

Okay, I'm not gonna spend too long on talking about Fox Village, because I feel like it

is everything that you want it to be, and you already know that you wanna go there,

so let's move on from that.

The rest of Zao is actually well worth looking around.

So, as I mentioned, Zao is in the mountains, and it's just an incredibly magical area.

There are a lot of hikes and walks that you can do through the mountains, and some of

them are really easy, some of them are more advanced, so make sure that you check what

type of walk you're looking for.

And you can see waterfalls, and mountain streams, and rivers, and forests, it's just this kind

of surreal, peaceful area, it's really really amazing.

And the other thing that Zao is famous for is high acidity onsen, which are incredible.

They're supposed to be really healthy, and they just feel really really good when you're

in them.

Uh, we went to an outdoor one, and it was a really beautiful experience, I can't even

explain it in words, but yeah.

I definitely recommend having a look at some of the nature around Zao, make it a full day

trip and do some onsen, that kind of thing.

Um, Zao is definitely more than just Fox Village if you're interested in that kind of thing.

So yeah, that's what you can expect from a trip to Zao-mura, I hope that helps you.

I'm sure that you've already decided you wanna go to Fox Village by now, because yeah...I

would have!

Okay, let's move on to actual logistics.

Logistics in terms of getting there and booking accommodation were where I made a few mistakes,

so I'm hoping that this information can help you not make those mistakes.

First let's talk getting there: I came from Osaka, but it's pretty similar regardless

of where you're coming from in Japan.

You'll want to either get a Shinkansen to Fukushima, or fly into Sendai Airport.

From Sendai Airport or Fukushima, you can get a regular train to Shiroishi, and from

Shiroishi you can either rent a car or get a taxi up to Fox Village, which is about twenty

to thirty minutes.

So it's pretty simple, but I will put out one warning that the place you're going to

is quite remote, and there isn't terribly much English around, so if you don't speak

or read Japanese, have everything that you might need to know or remember written down

like in a notebook or on your phone or somewhere that you can have it handy.

One thing I forgot to mention: the folks behind the desk at Fox Village will be happy to call

you a cab when you're ready to leave as well, so you don't need to worry about that.

Onto accommodation.

I booked accommodation in Zao Village itself before I realised quite how small it was,

and while I really enjoyed it and I loved the place that we stayed, I would recommend

booking accommodation in one of the bigger cities in the area, like Sendai or Shiroishi.

The reason for this is that I think Zao-mura is pretty much a day trip.

Like I think you could do Fox Village in the morning, and then go for a walk, and then

do an onsen in the evening, and then go back to your hotel in a bigger area so that you

can explore a different place the next day.

The problem with booking accommodation in Zao-mura is that after you go anywhere outside

Zao, you have to come back to Zao in the evening to get to your hotel, and that can be kind

of a pain.

So yeah, I would really recommend booking in one of the bigger cities, it's also cheaper,

and then you can just travel to Zao for one day, 'cause it's pretty simple, and then go

back for the evening.

Now that we've got the basics out of the way, I just wanted to mention a couple more things

that I thought it might be helpful to know before going.

The first is something that I touched on briefly before, and that is that a lot of things aren't

in English, because this is a very remote area of Japan.

So a lot of the signs that you see will either be in quite bad English, or no English whatsoever,

and same with the instruction pamphlets that you get at Fox Village.

So you just need to be aware that if you don't speak or read Japanese you might just need

to use your common sense in terms of what to do and what not to do.

There are a lot of helpful pictures, and most of the rules are really common sense, so you

should be totally fine.

But just don't be shocked if things aren't in English.

Next, do not wear shoes that you really care about, or that are really fancy and expensive.

Treat this like going to a farm or something similar to that.

You're likely to tread in poo or pee at some point, so it's best just to wear some old

trainers and forget about it and have fun.

The next tip I have is if you're planning to use buses to get around at all, check the

timetables at every bus stop because the times are really erratic, and they seem to change

seasonally as well as for weekends and weekdays.

So make sure that you're taking pictures of each of the timetables that you need to use,

and just be aware that the buses in this area seem to be kind of erratic and not the best,

so you might be safer just to use taxis.

And finally, much like the bus timetables, take a photo of the fox hugging schedule,

because that does change seasonally and based on whether it's a weekday or a weekend.

So that way you can just walk around and enjoy Fox Village, and then check the photo that

you took whenever you want to start heading back, and time it so that you can get in a

good fox hug session before you leave.

Okay, so that is about everything I have to say about Fox Village.

I hope that if you manage to make a trip there that you really enjoy it and that this video

was helpful to you.

If you have any other questions, of course leave them in the comments below and I will

do my best to answer them.

Apart from that, I will talk to you next time.

Bye!

Things To Do In Portland (Hidden Gems) - Duration: 3:32.

Portland is quirky, green, and beautiful.

Check out these things while you're here.

Check out the Portland aerial tram.

It may be a tram to get to a hospital but it offers some spectacular views.

Round trip is less than $5,

and you won't see many tourists here,

so when you get to the top,

take your time and enjoy the view.

If you want a workout,

you can even hike to the top, and then take the tram down for free.

The Pearl district is a

newly renovated section of town

with many parks,

businesses,

and residences.

When you're there, you must check out

Ovation Coffee & Tea.

A Portland resident recommended it to me,

and I was not disappointed.

When in Portland, you must get

outside and explore.

Forest Park is one of the

largest urban parks in the U.S.,

with over

8 miles of trails to enjoy.

Portland also has many breweries and distilleries.

If you're a cider fan like I am,

check out Cider Bite.

They have a large selection of cider

with flavors like sour cherry, vanilla bean, and green tea.

They also have games

that you can play.

Or if you're in the mood for some sour beer,

give Cascade Brewing, a try.

There is lots of outdoor seating

and they have some great food.

One cool thing about Portland is that

any establishment that sells alcohol must have food too.

Portland really is a foodie's paradise.

Downtown between Alder St & Sw 10th,

there's a huge food truck pod.

There are rows and rows of food trucks.

And there's something for everyone.

Thank you so much for watching!

and safe travels!

THE TRUTH IS HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT (HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN) - Duration: 3:21.

The natural and most powerful law of the universe is the following: Truthfulness is the only

key to heaven.

The science behind it is this.

All people are interconnected spiritually, but only by the truth.

Falsehood does not exist in reality.

For example, a lie is still a lie, it is a true lie.

I hope that made sense.

--- (small break)

ever heard the phrase "honesty is the best policy?"

Out In plain sight, yet highly overlooked, this quote says a lot.

The word policy means a course of action.... a way a acting.... and it can be applied to

the individual.

Now, for the record, words dont come with meaning, we have given them all the meaning

they have ever, but thats a side note.

---- (small break)

when a person is honest, opportunities form, a person learns about themselves, and they

learn what they really want in life.

Truth is and has always been the best healer as well.

In simple words, there is no room for lying if you want to enter heaven.

Heaven, by the way, is in the mind of the individual, and it can be anything else that

you want it to be.

If a person is delusional, they think lies will keep them from being hurt.

In truth, only the truth can do that.

Only the truth can heal.

But the truth is to not only be expressed externally.

It is to be practiced internally as well.

This can be extremely difficult to do if certain conditions apply, but doing your best is the

best way to not feel discouraged.

------ small (break)

when a person is honest with themselves, literally, if they are asked a question internally, and

they answer it honestly, they can not only literally feel better and not angry such as

when they dont answer, or answer a lie, but also, they are sending a message into the

world.

They are not contributing to evil.

They are contributing to the kingdom of truth, which, again, is all there is.

something else to note: achieving heaven is not something that is a once and for all thing.

you must stay being honest if you want to hold onto it.

otherwise, you can lose it.

also, your soul is eternal.

in a very literal sense, you have all the time in the world.

----- small (break)

practicing truthfulness is to be done as much as possible for best results.

There is no room for telling a white lie.

There is no room for lying to cover up anything.

Ever heard, "The truth will set you free?"

It refers to this: Telling the truth will set you free from suffering.

------ small break Be committed and serious about practicing

complete truthfulness externally and internally.

Watch what you tell, in any way, through text or speech, because words have much power.

Words have the power to destroy your life.

They also have the power to fix your life if it is broken, but only truthful words.

------ small break

The individual who tells a lie takes himself farther from heaven.

If a person is dishonest, bad energy follows them and the only way to pay off the debt

is suffering.

The truth is not only the only key to heaven, it is also the fastest way to heaven.

-------- small break

How You Can Be A Smart Investor - Duration: 5:23.

- YouTube!

Facebook!

Instagram, what's poppin'?

Got a free book summary for you.

Intelligent Investor.

We're gonna be talking about how to invest your money.

Remember this:

Most people are always working for money

and money never works for them.

This is a complicated book

but I'm gonna make it easy for you.

We're gonna take the Aventador.

We're actually looking at some real estate.

But I'm gonna give you this book,

the tips so you don't have to read it.

This right here's the Aventador.

(imitates car zooming)

Always open the doors, men.

Here's the first tip of the book,

it's not even in the book

but it's the first thing I learned about investing.

How much money do you make in a job

if you're making, let's say 20 bucks an hour?

If you make 20 bucks an hour

you make about $40,000 a year.

That's what it comes out to.

But, imagine

if you made $20 an hour,

but 24 hours a day.

Now, completely changes the game.

Now you're making over a $100,000 a year.

So the first rule is money's gotta work for you,

not just in a job.

Second thing is,

and what's big in this book,

Intelligent Investor,

and what Warren Buffett uses,

whenever you invest your money,

make sure there's what's called a margin of safety.

That means if you think it's barely a good investment,

if you're gonna put in a $1000, a $100,000, a million,

and you think there's a 50/50 chance

that it's gonna be a good investment,

don't do it.

Because things rarely work out as well as you think.

You basically only want things that are home runs.

And it's okay to pass on investments,

because people get too much FOMO,

they go "Oh, if I miss this one investment,

"another one will never come around."

No.

So for example,

if you got a friend that tells you,

"Look man, you invest 10 grand and you're gonna make,

"you got a really good chance you can make 11 grand back".

Or if you're gonna invest in the stock market,

and you think you're gonna get

a 20% return on your investment, right?

Which would be considered good.

Odds are it ain't gonna work out as well as you think.

Not to be a pessimist,

but-- - You really see.

- Yeah, if you look at the down-side,

when it doesn't go amazingly well

and it's still not too bad,

that's what you wanna invest in.

I'll look at investments,

not just the financial margin of safety,

but also an enjoyable one.

Meaning if it doesn't work out

did I enjoy the year that I spent doing it?

Did I enjoy the people I was around, the business partners.

And by the way,

I'll throw this out as an investment tip.

It's not in the book,

but that book was written quite a long time ago.

Mark my words,

social media and your ability

to invest in understanding it, using it.

When you see big trends like this,

never be too late to the game.

Billions of people are potentially

understanding your message,

your art, your business,

your product, your invention, your idea.

(laid back hip hop music)

Well, guess what.

- We're stranded.

- The Lambo key died,

so now we're gonna have to go take a Lyft

to get the new Lambo key battery.

Fun.

Auto Zone to get batteries,

so this doesn't happen again.

(chuckling)

There we go.

New battery.

Let's see if it works though.

By the way, if you're liking these book summaries,

I forgot to say yesterday,

Mentor Box.

I invested in a new company.

Book summaries on demand.

Ship books to your house.

All kinds of stuff.

So you don't have to read the whole book,

but you can get all the good info in there.

Remember, formal education will make you a living.

Self education will make you a fortune.

So check out Mentor Box if you get a chance.

A guy's running the company,

the co-founder, he's a cool guy.

It's out of San Francisco,

but we're shipping,

like 100 countries.

And it even has a digital version, too.

So, what'd you say?

- Alright, so this is how it is.

Tai Lopez here is the man.

You know what he did for me?

He inspired me.

I made my own business.

300,000 the past three weeks.

- Construction business. - Construction business.

- That's nice.

- I'm 23 years old,

hustling the way I'm supposed to because of him.

- Zack, what did you think of Guardians of the Galaxy 2?

- I didn't even see the first one,

so I was confused pretty much most of the time.

I didn't know what was happening--

- You've seen the first one!

- Rome, what'd you think of Guardians of the Galaxy?

- I have no thoughts,

I don't know how to process it--

- [Tai] You don't know what you just watched?

- Yeah, I don't know what that was.

(female laughing)

It was interesting though.

- [Tai] What'd Wulbert think of it?

- Oh, it was pretty good.

You know what I'm sayin'?

Yeah, almost good as Transformers.

(giggling)

Say hi to your mother for me, okay?

(laughing)

- [Tai] Zack, why do you have a backpack on?

- In case any of my fans spot me here,

I can change.

I don't have to take pictures

or do any autograph signings.

Yeah, I'm not in the mood this weekend.

- [Tai] No autograph signings?

- No. (laughing)

- [Tai] What are you gonna say

if people want an autograph?

- I'm gonna tell 'em no, no, not tonight I'm tired.

Go bother Tai, please.

Your Ideas in Motion - Social Video Rule #8 - Duration: 1:38.

- Hey y'all.

Alright, now this one, one of the most powerful

and important things about being on stage,

or on camera.

This is social video rule number eight,

and it's about motion, and matching your motion

up to your idea flow.

So, when you come to the end of your thought,

and you're really getting to that part

where you're gonna make your point,

people are gonna get the point, and you want

'em to understand exactly what you're conveying,

and when you get to the end you stop moving

for emphasis so we can understand

that you've made the point, and then when you

start the next idea, you start moving again.

Now, you can mix it up.

The important thing is that you make the change happen

at the same time as your idea transition.

So, if you're moving, and you get to the conclusion

of your idea, you stop, and if you're standing still,

and you start a new idea, when you complete that thought

you start moving again, and that's how you

keep it switchin' up, 'cause we're drawn

to the change more than anything else,

and keep those changes matching the idea.

It's what it's all about.

Learning about you, and what you have to share,

and actually I'd love to see what you have.

In a comment below, put a link to

what you're doing these days.

What is your newest podcast, your newest video,

your newest effort, or if you have a question, we're here.

Talk to you soon, and until then we are moving up.
