What you & Dave are doing is beyond impressive. I've watched hours upon hours of video trying to catch up! Your vlogs are not only thought provoking and informative, but also very entertaining at times (i.e.: Dave's drunk dancing & your modeling booty shorts). I found you through Josh & I'm really glad I took the time to see just what FunForLouis is all about! He said he looked up to you & I totally understand what he meant. I'm chronically ill &, sadly, I think my traveling days are behind me. I live in the United States but I was fortunate to make it to a few countries outside of here. Cherished memories! Louis & Dave....Thank you for letting me "travel" the world through your eyes! Much love & safe travels! Your friend, Kristin
Hey Louis I would appreciate it if you would record an uncut version of the group discussions on a separate channel maybe on a solvey channel....I'm fascinated by all these different cultures and what ails them and to see a full discussion would be really great for understanding. I think many of us would agree that a focus on these groups would be a great way to open global dialog.
These solvey vlogs have been some of my absolute favourite vlogs. They're so inspiring, giving me so much insight and showing me a lot of the issues going on in other cities besides my own. They also make me really take a look at the problems in my own city and to discuss with the people around me some of the issues we have here at home and if there is a way to fix them. (Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
Bless the heart of these young smart people. I was really touched by the young man who talked about students not being able to challenge the teachers, as I plan to move to Japan to teach as well, and it's a thing to keep in mind. Such a good vlog.
This is what I love (Kind of being bias here), I see other 'successful' people, enjoying life, which is good, but not really making a difference at the same time, helping others, making a difference in society. Louis, you are officially a legend in my eyes, & now my favourite person on youtube. What you are a doing is truly inspiring & remarkable, given the fact you have the power to make a difference & you are using it to do so. You have my true respect & hopefully one day will get to say this you in person!
I left Exploring With Josh a comment a looong time ago about how he reminded me of Louis, and he said thanks and that he was a big fan of his. Now he met him!!! 😄
I wish Louis's group talk about more daily blog discussion. It is revolutionizing media with self expression. I think everyone deserves to blog everyday on youtube and we need to discuss how not to shy away from it and embrace the new technology. There should be more discussion about how to be comfortable in front of camera and how to not scare people when shooting scenes in restaurant or coffee place.
I have to admit that I'm a little bit bothered that they are giving away phones at the jam sessions. It makes it seem like everyone else ideas aren't good enough which I don't think is a good idea in a creative environment like the solvey jam sessions. But still love the idea of this project. Keep up the good work Louis!
saw your vlog after so long and I didn't know about sovey. but what you are doing with this platform and audience of your youtube followers is just so inspiring! and this is exactly why I love you. you inspire people. it is just amazing! keep up the good work!
I really love the discussion at the end. And yes, it is one of the major problem here in Japan, that mostly the elder workers are such a jerk. They tend to respect them like a saint when in actual, they don't actually do something good for the environment, instead they push the younger generation to work like a robot. Making it a life without expression and live your life linear. This is one of the best VLOG! 頑張ってください！
Haha, sweets are always served with traditional Matcha Tea. The sweets are mean't not to be too sweet though & what is served will change with every season. Ahh so good to see Chika involved in your discussion too. She's awesome :)
I would love to see you produce a "Solvey tour behind the scenes" video talking about shooting, organizing and editing all of the footage on your trip. I was especially curious about the people talking into their phones and how you are collecting and incorporating that audio. Keep up the great work... these are all very interesting.
Japanese are some of the most polite, dedicated respectable people I have ever known in ANY country. Make sure to visit the large fish market early in the morning and try some sushi (dave). It is to die for. And of course, visit mount fuji, it is stunning.
Omg this discussion! So true about how people are introverted in Japan and how they always try to gather in groups. The biggest reason I wanted to get out of Japan. I hated the education there. Now I live in New York and I can feel how different people are here.
It's so crazy that I left Japan only 24 hours ago and you were there at the same time! Small World! You you were right next to the hotel i stayed in near at that park!
If i hv a teacher like louis in my school i will never be too lazy to wake up and go to school every morning, school would be so much better, and fun, and exciting.. Wow just imagine that.. 👌👌👌👌😌
The Japanese do gardens so incredibly well. It must have something to do with their use of space and everything is given such thought as to arrangement. I remember the Japanese gardens in Durban from when I was a child - wonderful. Tried to replicate something of the feel in my own garden but I can't. That pink play do stuff looks vile.
Hi Louis. I'm glad you enjoyed Japan😊 I was really excited watching this vlog. because I want the educations to change too and I didn't know there was actually who has the same thoughts like mine hehe.
The guy with Louis at the end is "Exploringwithjosh" his RUclips channel is amazing he explores abandoned and historical places. He's currently visiting Tokyo and said he's gonna visit suicide forest and stuff!! Can't wait!
So glad your in the beautiful country of Japan, you inspired me to apply for student exchange and I was lucky enough to get a scholarship and travel to Japan, it's an amazing country and I'm loving reliving my adventure through your vlog, I spent a week in the wonderful Tokyo 😍
One possible global solvey project might be centured around education and work pressure in East Asia, because I think thats one issue that affects countries like South Korea, Japan and China the most. It's not only on an individual level, but it also limits family foundation etc and should therefore be tackled.
Ah man I'm loving these Solvey vlogs bro! Japan looks amazing too :)
.
Nice to see you here ben :)
+Mr Ben Brown Are you going to japan ben
Ben you really ought to spend some more time in Asia!!!!!
Come to Japan Ben💙
3:19 "Bro, I think we're eating playdoh" hahah 😂 the beauty of travelling
+Peter Paton Film I think its daifuku or a pounded rice cake. Google it
Louis, you are SUCH an inspiration bro... you have NO idea how much you inspire me with these videos
same
Louis + Dave = best road trip/travel duo there's ever been. 👊
Are they gay together because he said "we need to get a tree like this" or I'm just wrong
+zerx gaming Louis has a girlfriend.
It's the little moments like the selfie woman that makes travelling with someone so much more fun.
Arda Yakuphan
ok im trying to watch him because my friend told me he was good
I love that in one country the problem is there is no electricity and the other country is the mentality of people. it's so wide
+esmeevogels1990 Yes I agree, it is so fascinating.
+esmeevogels1990 japanese is popular for its scenery anime and robotics. robotics = electricity!
I love it when Louis shows the food he is eating from different cultures all around the world!

hearing the honest voices of people form countries around the world is so influential. Thank you for doing this Louis and Dave !
+Odessa Jarman You said exactly what I was thinking! Can't believe I found you here, what a coincidence!
AHA omg hey so random !!!
So Many Memories Bro!
+VolunteerofCoD If you didn't know a few years ago he went with Cyr, Sam and Sawyer.
+VolunteerofCoD He lived with Louis before
You should come again!
exploring with Josh at the end.Such a cool youtuber.
Tokyo is amazing
Those bags under Dave's eyes are bigger than my future. (Sorry for not being original)
lol,
+Dave Erasmus I bet you can't wait until you get in your own bed and sleep for a couple days.
+Matt Gallagher being on the road is haaaaaard!

I really like that guy in the dark red hoodie! He has great ideas:)
I left Exploring With Josh a comment a looong time ago about how he reminded me of Louis, and he said thanks and that he was a big fan of his. Now he met him!!! 😄
Ayyyy you were with Josh!!! Loving these vlogs and listening to people all over the world ❤️
your so close, come to the philippines Louis... Bring them into the solvey project!
yes please!
This was so many things! Calming, relaxing, educating, teaching, thoughtful. A total experience. Thank you !
I always think of the city of Tokyo when I think about Japan, but I'm glad you showed us this side, it's beautiful!!!
Wow sounds amazing! Definitely at the top of my bucket list!
I love how much Louis smiles and laughs when he is with Dave. They have an awesome friendship. It makes me miss my friends. 😀
I wish Louis's group talk about more daily blog discussion. It is revolutionizing media with self expression.

The guy at the end (Josh), reminded me how great your vlogs are.
Louis looks like a bird on migration! Yes Canada! Yes Alberta.
Perú che yeah , four excelent please never
Looks like? He pretty much IS! He's flying through this project!
I love Dave in these
Tokyo is my favourite place in the world so far, it's such a world appart of everything and people are so nice I love it
Louis's and Dave's is really glad to come to Tokyo. Thank you very much. This after the tour also take care. Also please come to Japan.
aahhhh I want to visit Tokyo so bad!! Louis inspired me to start travelling and vlogging ❤
Same here. Louis' inspired me to vlog my travels and continues to do so and keeps opening my eyes to me parts of the world I hope to visit one day.
I love and miss Tokyo. I would go back in a heartbeat.
I was in Japan and Tokyo last month and loved it, too. And the people are so nice and welcoming!
I have to admit that I'm a little bit bothered that they are giving away phones at the jam sessions. It makes it seem like everyone else ideas aren't good enough which I don't think is a good idea in a creative environment like the solvey jam sessions. But still love the idea of this project. Keep up the good work Louis!
I completely agree with you. Somebody might lose his motivation by thinking that his idea isn't good enough.
I missed Dave closing the vlog with you.
saw your vlog after so long and I didn't know about sovey. but what you are doing with this platform and audience of your youtube followers is just so inspiring! and this is exactly why I love you. you inspire people. it is just amazing! keep up the good work!
*SOLVEY - bringing telecommunications to the poorest!*
since 2016
I never realized how beautiful Tokyo is !!!!
Tokyo looks beautiful! Love the look of the cherry blossoms
I went to Tokyo last year. Fell in love with it, I must go back
Japan looks absolutely stunning. You and Dave are so bloody inspiring! #WanderlustingAllOverThePlace
Currently my favorite vlogger! Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Louis. I hope we can experience the same adventures one day! :)
These Solvey vlogs are some of my favs of yours ever Louis!
Dave seems like such a genuinely nice guy! I've been enjoying seeing him in your vlogs on this trip. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed Tokyo!! Please come back again! :)
I really love the discussion at the end. And yes, it is one of the major problem here in Japan, that mostly the elder workers are such a jerk.

This is one of the best VLOG! 頑張ってください！
aw, I went to Tokyo three years ago and it was such an amazing trip... ultimate nostalgia watching this
Haha, sweets are always served with traditional Matcha Tea. The sweets are mean't not to be too sweet though & what is served will change with every season. Ahh so good to see Chika involved in your discussion too. She's awesome :)
This is an awesome video! Great work and it was our pleasure meeting you guys!!
よっしゃー！！！！！超嬉しいいいいい！！！：D
I really like these gatherings where locals talk about stuff that bothers them. It's like a TED-Talk but in a smaller, more diverse format.
Great vlog Louis, you and Dave have such a great friendship
Cherry blossoms, they are just beautiful ❤️❤️
'its like London in a parallel universe' perfect!!
I would love to see you produce a "Solvey tour behind the scenes" video talking about shooting, organizing and editing all of the footage on your trip.

Being heard can be very empowering, well done Solvey!
I truly love the Japanese people and the history. Great people for sure.
Omg this discussion! So true about how people are introverted in Japan and how they always try to gather in groups. The biggest reason I wanted to get out of Japan. I hated the education there. Now I live in New York and I can feel how different people are here.
It's so crazy that I left Japan only 24 hours ago and you were there at the same time! Small World! You you were right next to the hotel i stayed in near at that park!
Louis' camera skills are ridiculously good!
10:00 I was looking and finally found Josh after watching his exploration and meeting with you. That sneaky abandon crawler.
If i hv a teacher like louis in my school i will never be too lazy to wake up and go to school every morning, school would be so much better, and fun, and exciting.. Wow just imagine that.. 👌👌👌👌😌
Louis is one of my fav ppl on this Planet. I bet we r from a same soul group too.
Haha cool to see Chika collaborating with Louis!
im in love with people from japan!
Love Louis' vlogs so much😆
Awesome to see you with exploring with josh
Wow. This is more than your average travel vlog. Awesome Louis
ありがとう〜〜！！Welcome!!😍😍👍🏻
Tokyo Louis! :)
I've been there and watching this was like reliving my trip! I understand it all and Tokyo really is an amazing place!
Let's talk about how serious the Police Officer was XD XD
The Japanese do gardens so incredibly well. It must have something to do with their use of space and everything is given such thought as to arrangement. I remember the Japanese gardens in Durban from when I was a child - wonderful. Tried to replicate something of the feel in my own garden but I can't. That pink play do stuff looks vile.
so magical!!! i'm going to japan next spring and i cannot WAIT!!
Hi Louis. I'm glad you enjoyed Japan😊
I was really excited watching this vlog. because I want the educations to change too and I didn't know there was actually who has the same thoughts like mine hehe.
Perfect vlog, loved the discussion at the end too... a beautiful ending to your trip! :)

He's currently visiting Tokyo and said he's gonna visit suicide forest and stuff!! Can't wait!
Ahah amazing !! Visiting temples was our favorite stuff here. Enjoy Tokyo, the food and the bars, this city is incredible ! Pauline from france :)
8:54 Markiplier is that you? XD
Congratulation to the person who won the S7. I'm using s7 right now and it the best phone
how to create these annotations that are clickable on mobile devices?
Missing Japan so, so much!! ❤️
this is so interesting to see a true perspective on what japan is really like.
So glad your in the beautiful country of Japan, you inspired me to apply for student exchange and I was lucky enough to get a scholarship and travel to Japan, it's an amazing country and I'm loving reliving my adventure through your vlog, I spent a week in the wonderful Tokyo 😍
man, your videos are awesome Loui. absolutely beautiful.
The pink stuff is probably Mochi. Sweet, pounded rice cakes. Sticky and served with tea, like biscuits and tea.
Louis should become the Tourist Ambassador of the WORLD. If only there is such a title not particularly certain in one country or another.
✌Boom!👊
Louis back at it again!
Beautiful vlog! It inspired me so much
"Play dough" haha. It was Mochi that you guys ate. Loving your adventures 👍🏼
Whoa!! Tokyo looks amazing, I want to go there one day 😍😀
One possible global solvey project might be centured around education and work pressure in East Asia, because I think thats one issue that affects countries like South Korea, Japan and China the most. It's not only on an individual level, but it also limits family foundation etc and should therefore be tackled.
Been wanting to do a cherry blossom vlog but you always beat me to it !
+alexisbelon Would love to see it from your perspective! :) The more Cherry blossom vlogs the merrier!
i'm so sad i missed it!! i'm glad it went well and that you enjoyed tokyo!
saw Exploring with Josh at the end. didnt realise they were mates, thats sick!
I keep forgetting Louis' vlogs are sometimes behind until something like his trip to Playlist Live comes up.
It's so amazing to visit the world through Louis' eyes ! Are you guys coming to the US anytime soon? Would love to attend any of these meetups :)
I wish they would come back!
