I'm Japanese and didn't realize how beautiful my country is. Thank you very much for showing me so many beautiful views in Japan! I miss you guys already, but can`t wait to see your next great adventure in South Korea😄Have a safe trip with Trudy!
한국은 구경할 것이 없다. 현대 문명은 일본의 것을 불법으로 복제했다. 과거의 문명은 중국에 것을 다운그레이드 복제했어.그리고 일본의 자본과 기술지원을 받아서 발전했는데 스스로 발전했다고 날조하는 부끄러움을 모르는 민족이 한국인이야. 나는 한국인이지만 반일 날조 세뇌 교육에서 탈출하고 일본의 도움으로 한국이 발전했다는 진실을 깨달았다. 그래서 항상 일본인에게 미안한 마음과 부끄러움을 갖고 있어.
The most impressive fact about Japan are Japanese people, with their politeness, kindness and willingness to help whenever you need help.I hope I will visit too this country sometime. Thank you for taking us along your trip and i hope everything will go smooth in your future experiences.
I'm so glad you managed to get to South Korea wthout too much stress. You sure had a fantastic time in Japan, now let's hope your time in Korea is just as enjoyable. All the best!
Hi hope you enjoy your adventure in Korea, slightly different to Japan. I spent nearly 2 years in SK back in 87-88 and stayed in Pohang just up the coast from where you docked in PUSAN not Busan. Im sure its changed since I was there but even so I thoroughly enjoyed my time and the people.
Pusan is actually the old Romanization system which used much harsher consonants than actual Korean. Busan is the correct way to say it under the new system and sounds closer to 부산.
A Harbor (or Harbour) Pilot is a mariner with intimate knowledge of a particular body of water. They will come aboard arriving and departing ships to assist the ship's captain in navigating the confined waters.
What a amazing journey. My heart was racing for you and quite emotional when Chris was in the terminal waiting for Marianne you looked so lost. Enjoy the rest of your journey and looking forward to seeing Korea. You have both brought the world into our living room x
I wish Uncle Sam would have come back to me and said we can't send you to Vietnam in '66. Good luck and love your videos. You guys have the patience of Jobe and the wisdom of Solomon!
I heard that South Korea doesn't allow Google to use its map information, so you have to use domestic apps there, like Naver or Kakao. Good luck with your back way home journey.🤞
30:30 He's not a pirate! A “pilot” is someone who helps dock a ship. They can be found in any port, and mainly help large ships (ferries and even aircraft carriers!) dock safely in port. Welcome to Korea :)
I have the same Ducato Fiat, but mono coque: if you have a truma fan, without turning on the heating, set the fan to minimum, close all the side windows and leave a porthole open to a minimum, in this way the floor first cools down and then the side walls, preventing the formation of heat. humidity, if it is really hot, turn the ignition key backwards, pushing the button on the ring and also turn the Ducato's fan on to minimum, it is calculated that it does not consume the battery by design, pointing it at the windshield. This prevents it from overheating. - Ice and snow: buy two or three rolls of flower cellophane and roll it externally from one door to the other, passing through the lady driver's viewing area on the windshield. Create a mini cavity and ice will not form on the glass, try it even if it is very hot, it should still work as an insulator.
Pete from Poole - Really enjoyed this episode, very stressful for you, but you both deal with anything with such a positive mind set. So welcome to South Korea have fun and be safe - PS my bother lives in Telford so when you make it back with Trudy I'll make a special trip up for the welcome home celebrations safe travels
You have done so beautifully to manage so well. Japan has shown you so much. Sorry it was so miserably hot. It is so difficult to enjoy life when the heat keeps you in misery. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
So happy everything went well and you made it to your next destination safely. Love my morning coffee and watching your show. Thank you so much for taking us all on your wonderful adventures 💓
You guys are so brave and amazing. You are diffently role models for those who want to be adventurous, but to afraid to take the risk. You have proven it can be done, you just got to want it bad enough.
I’ve been via the Hakata ferry terminal a couple of times, and it was already stressful enough working out what to do as a foot passenger. I couldn’t imagine taking a vehicle across!
Awesome video as always Chris and Marianne. So sad to see you guys are leaving Japan. Japan is such a beautiful place. Congratulations on making to South Korea.
Quite impressive. I watched your youtube to get used to the British accent because I am living in Cambridge UK and was surprised because you visited my hometown. I don't know you are still in Korea but enjoy your trip to Korea and have fun. will keep following you up.
Well at least you weren't separated from Trudy on that trip. It was kind of like taking a ferry. Hope you'll have a wonderful time in SK as well. Beautiful people. Very friendly and love everything Western 😉 Take care my friends ❤
Really enjoyed your Japan videos, now to look forward to your Korean adventures. We took the ferry from Fukuoka to Busan and fell in love with that city. I hope you can spend a bit of time there.
Such a dedicated adventure. Not so many person are able to leave their comfort zone (9-5 job) but you choose to get over it and livin your life to the fullest. I wish you all have a safe trip and nice journey 😊
The small boat that joined your boat was a pilot ship, pilot ships are used to guide very large vessels into dock and are manned by experts who know the local waters inside out, and I believe that while the master of the pilot boat is onboard he / she has total command, even over that of the Captain.
I’m glad you made it safely,,,,, it’s so interesting all the things you have to go through especially with Trudy. Interestingly enough I do know a RUclips family that just moved to Korea,,,,don’t know where, but their channel is MochaMilk. They have some adorable dogs, Wooyoo and Mocha~~~and a very sweet nice family.
The guy bording the ship is most likely a harbor pilot that will assist with safely approaching the designated berth and or communicating with tug boat assistance. (or a pirate who knows)
Kore'ye gitmenize sevindim Japonya çok güzeldi yeşilliği meşhur bahçeleri ve nazik insanları hep aklımızda kalacak bakalım Kore nasıl merak ediyorum inşallah Asyada Kazakistan Özbekistan Türkmenistan gibi türk devletlerinide dolaşırsınız. ❤🚘❤
You drove through Kitakyushu where I live to get to Munakata. I know the campanile wedding bell tower at 8:00 in your video well. Then you probably drove over the red bridge (WakaTo bridge) next to my home. Had I known I would have waved to you! 😅
The ship docking to your ferry was the harbourmaster. Its a person who is experienced about the harbour the ship is docking at and parks all ships into their docks as he is the most proficient.
My god Taiwan would love to have you - Taiwan has the highest concentration of mountain peaks over 3000 meters in the world 286 peaks. Excellent camper life and great relations with Japan and it has daily ships
You two are so brave! Exploring unknown prepackaged food! 😂😂 Seriously, though, I admire you both going through customs and all the red tape. Enjoy South Korea! Be safe
What a journey. Absolutely hooked on this. Planning on something similar (not soon enough) hope you are fine and dandy. What a fantastic and brave couple you are. Inspirational 🌠
I travelled to Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in November of 2016, it was HOT and humid!!! Nevertheless it was an amazing place to visit. I hope you can get some kind of AC setup for Trudy to take care of the heat. When we arrived home in San Francisco it was such a relief to feel the cold Autumn air strike me in the face.
I came across your channel 2 days ago by way of a RUclips referral from another travel channel I follow. It was to the previous episode which was so good I then binge watched your time in Japan, superb. I'm going to keep watching as your trip progresses and also go to the start of your round the world venture. I have lived for years in Asia after working in the Middle East so felt your pain with the extreme heat in the van a bit like it's here when we get a power failure and the fans don't work. I'm a Brit but have been in hot countries so long I don't need aircon but a fan is essential and if it's not on I sweat like a trooper and basically overheat with the problems of loss of body salts etc. Your channel is just fantastic and eventually, God willing, I will get through your catalogue up to date. You do come across well, nice people who meet nice people. Safe journey.
I don’t think we got an answer as to why Australia wasn’t an option, because you did say that way back in another video somewhere. You both seem so refreshed after your nights in a motel. 😊 hope you get to Korea with no problems
Hi Miriam - it is due to the temporary import procedures and regulations (which we appreciate to protect the flora, fauna and wildlife) but as Trudy has been through so much dirt and mud and grassy areas, as well as her age which means she would have to be tested for asbestos etc - as well as the shipping costs .... so we plan to come and buy a vehicle and then go on an epic walkabout adventure !! woo hoo
@@TREADtheglobe thanks for your answer. Yes, our border control is very strict and nothing is cheap either. I often dream about being a permanent grey nomad. The country is definitely big enough…but avoiding the heat is an issue. Plus I’d have to sell my house to do it so no home base. Plus I’m getting old 😢. One thing to keep in mind if you do make it is that the north needs to be avoided in the wet season because of the flooding roads… from around November to march. Our nomads go north for the winter and south for the summer. 😊 looking forward to Mumbai and your next adventure. I’m with you in Malaysia right now lol.
17:30 I know you’re British, but if you want to shorten Air Conditioning, try just saying AC. “Air Con” sounds like a military term for air reconnaissance.
28:00 It is one of the types of kimchi and is called kkakdugi!😊 The commonly known kimchi is called cabbage kimchi. Kkakdugi is kimchi made from radish.
So pleased you got to South Korea safely, but where did you find to sleep? Marianne is a star driving at night in a strange city, and the navigator using an unfamiliar route map. What a team! I absolutely love your channel.
Chris, I was *HOWLING* with laughter seeing Ed Rooney getting hacked! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm about to reuse an old cover photo on Facebook, just know you're the reason why! 😉😉 Glad you two retreated to air con. 🥵🥵 Being a trooper gets one only so far! Goodbye, Japan! Thank for showing our Chris & Marianne such hospitality! 🫶🫰 We certainly hope the borders start getting easier in the future! Big hugs from both of us to both of you, and Trudy especially. ❤️🩹❤️🩹😎👍xx
The wedding scene is interesting. I have a friend that is white and he works as a “priest” for these weddings. Basically he’s a foreigner so he plays the part to make the wedding look “exotic”. He makes good money doing it too. It’s a very interesting job for sure.
I was pleasantly surprised by finding your channel while doing some research on Urfa. I watch that video and find myself here! . Loving this journey around the globe. Blessing 💞🙏🏽

What a lovely young guy to take care of 2 strangers that way...so reassuring to know that there are still nice people on our planet
日本に来てくださりありがとうございました。御夫婦の素晴らしい旅ありがとうございました。
そして さらに続く世界各国への旅に乾杯です。
Thank you - it was an amazing adventure 🌷😉
So sad you leftJapan at the start of the best season, 🙏🏻you’ll be back soon, and May your journey be safe👋🌸💓💓
Even though I'm a long-term resident in Japan, I've really enjoyed your Japan series. I am looking forward to seeing your adventures in Korea.
日本人の私でも訪ねたことのない、日本のいろいろな街や景色に連れて行ってくれてありがとう！無事イギリスに戻るまで、これからもお二人とTRUDYの冒険を応援します！
I’m impressed too! Love the way you two keep pushing on despite trials and tribulations. Great viewing.
Keith.
Thank you
Welcome to Korea! I have been watching your videos for a long time. I hope you guys to have a good time in Korea.
Wow
I'm usually pretty calm, but I'm stressed out just watching this.
You pair are so good at coping with everything that comes your way. Respect. 👍
Oh my, that is dangerously hot for long periods! Glad you took care of yourselves. Your vid’s are my favorite 🎉

That was the pilot to guide the ship throughout the Korean port.
You had me worried a bit there and trying to book passage somewhere! Glad you made it to Korea safely. The adventure continues. ✌💕 God speed.
Thank you, you too. I’ve been following you since Turkey keep going. ❤❤❤
Awesome! Thank you!
What a beautiful life ! 💜💜Respect and love from Korea^^

Put every time the reflector outside!!
Great tip we will try that thank you !!
I loved to see you two in Japan. You two are a great couple. So lucky for you
I will miss the Japan episodes from now on but looking forward to South Korea
Is it even a border crossing if it isn’t mildly chaotic?! So excited to see the Korean adventures! You’re absolutely smashing it. Love you xxx ❤
Right back at you 💕🌷😍🚐😉
You have inspired me to do a driving tour of Japan. It’s so beautiful & you have made it look easy to navigate your way around 🥰
Enjoy !!
Touring Japan by train is even more awesome.
Pete from Poole - Really enjoyed this episode, very stressful for you, but you both deal with anything with such a positive mind set.

You have done so beautifully to manage so well. Japan has shown you so much. Sorry it was so miserably hot. It is so difficult to enjoy life when the heat keeps you in misery. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Awesome, you have managed to ship truly to Korea. Good luck, buddy
I was born in Fukuoka ! Enjoying your trip in Japan. Hope to see you guys again someday.
Japan is such a lovely place. thank you for all your videos.
So happy everything went well and you made it to your next destination safely. Love my morning coffee and watching your show. Thank you so much for taking us all on your wonderful adventures 💓
Glad you got over there guys, hope you found somewhere to sleep. Looing forward to the next leg of your journey ❤
You guys are so brave and amazing.
You are diffently role models for those who want to be adventurous, but to afraid to take the risk. You have proven it can be done, you just got to want it bad enough.
Another amazing video... and once again showing the kindness of people around the world ❤
I’ve been via the Hakata ferry terminal a couple of times, and it was already stressful enough working out what to do as a foot passenger. I couldn’t imagine taking a vehicle across!
Awesome video as always Chris and Marianne. So sad to see you guys are leaving Japan. Japan is such a beautiful place. Congratulations on making to South Korea.
2人が日本から居なくなるのが寂しいですが韓国でも楽しい旅を楽しんで下さい。
good thing you guys hired an agent. korean bureaucracy loves to give you a hard time. good luck on your journey!
Travelers like you are soooo brave ! Borders crossing is too intimidating for me !! 🤪😊
Have a wonderful day !
🥰
I’ve enjoyed following your tour of Japan. Can’t wait to see your trip around s. Korea 😊
Quite impressive. I watched your youtube to get used to the British accent because I am living in Cambridge UK and was surprised because you visited my hometown. I don't know you are still in Korea but enjoy your trip to Korea and have fun. will keep following you up.

Awwh Thank you - we are loving Korea !! 😉🙌🚐🌷
The cabbage soup yous had in the ferry is kimchi stew!
I'm enjoying watching your videos about Korea 😄 good luck for your onward trip in SK!
what an amazing time you had in Japan- very moving watching it disappear into the distance. Cant wait to discover South Korea with you x
Thanks Sally
You both amaze us. We watch you each week and nomatter what is thrown at you you stillmanage to smile! You are amazing!
Thanks 😉
Really enjoyed your Japan videos, now to look forward to your Korean adventures. We took the ferry from Fukuoka to Busan and fell in love with that city. I hope you can spend a bit of time there.
I’m ferry relieved that you made it over there in the end
I’d check out getting a mini split AC system for your van. They make them for RVs and vans, and they’re very effective.
Japan over already.. I think South Korea is going to be exciting.. great work in making it there.
Wow!Glad you got through all that! Border crossings let alone ship jumping is an anxiety buster! Enjoy!
Such a dedicated adventure. Not so many person are able to leave their comfort zone (9-5 job) but you choose to get over it and livin your life to the fullest. I wish you all have a safe trip and nice journey 😊
Thank you - we are happy you are coming with us

Not just the view from the tolera but the cleanliness of public toilets in Japan. Who keeps them clean?
The local employees of the municipality for sure 😉👍
You guys are soooo brave!! Safe travels!!!
I did it myyyy wayyyyy! best wishes?
My nerves are shot. Lol. Wow you two have nerves of steel.😮😮❤❤
정말 고생 많이 하셨습니다 스트레스 많이 받으셨어요 화이팅 ~~❤❤❤

I think we need three cheers for Mr Kim.
Agreed!!
Amazing, well done. Watching you from Nerja, stones throw from AYO, you visited. X
Awesome! Thank you!
@@TREADtheglobe and caminito at the weekend!
The guy bording the ship is most likely a harbor pilot that will assist with safely approaching the designated berth and or communicating with tug boat assistance. (or a pirate who knows)
Ha Ha !! Thanks for the information 👍
We love Trudy too ♥️

Yikes im sorry you had to go through all that to get out of Japan! So glad you got the hotel 🏨
Welcome to South Korea guys! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The ship docking to your ferry was the harbourmaster. Its a person who is experienced about the harbour the ship is docking at and parks all ships into their docks as he is the most proficient.
Omg. You 2 are so intrepid! Loved this so much but I’m sure it was very stressful for you! Kia kaha ( stay strong) from NZ.
Thank you !!
港が管轄してる水先案内人ですね
日本に来てくれてありがとうございました😊

The crunchy vegetable in the side dish was likely daikon radish kimchi. Be prepared for a lot of spicy dishes ☺️
Have ice put in front of the fans that helps
Congratulations you made it , luck is always on your side ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂 enjoy 🎉🎉
My god Taiwan would love to have you - Taiwan has the highest concentration of mountain peaks over 3000 meters in the world 286 peaks. Excellent camper life and great relations with Japan and it has daily ships
Oh man ... loving the vids ..watching from London UK ... do you guys miss having a good cup of tea
Ha ha !! Hello to London !! We have found some tea plantations here !! And we will be sharing that soon 🌷
28:39 Marianne just ate kkakdugi, a kind of kimchi made of daikon raddish.
Fukuoka pronounced 'oooo koka'. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoying your journey.
You two are so brave! Exploring unknown prepackaged food! 😂😂 Seriously, though, I admire you both going through customs and all the red tape. Enjoy South Korea! Be safe
What a journey. Absolutely hooked on this. Planning on something similar (not soon enough) hope you are fine and dandy. What a fantastic and brave couple you are. Inspirational 🌠
You guys rock! Nothing phases you 😊 true team work - looking forward to the next adventure- safe travels x
BRILLIANT TROOPS,, GLAD YOUS ARE IN KOREA NOW, LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK,, ~#SCOTLAND
I travelled to Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in November of 2016, it was HOT and humid!!! Nevertheless it was an amazing place to visit. I hope you can get some kind of AC setup for Trudy to take care of the heat. When we arrived home in San Francisco it was such a relief to feel the cold Autumn air strike me in the face.

It's the same here in Ireland rosslare to France the pilot boards the ship close to rosslare or roscoff to bring it into and out of the Dock
Talking of toilets with a view, the ones in Skyfall Lounge in the Delano in Las Vegas have a pretty spectacular view.
You need to read up on what a ship pilot does in a ship. He takes the ship in to the berth.
You are driving a van without air conditioning on in 37c !
God bless you!
Yes we are !! LOL - but we are coping and finding solutions as we drive home to the cooler weather in the UK !! 🌷😉
So pleased you got to South Korea safely, but where did you find to sleep? Marianne is a star driving at night in a strange city, and the navigator using an unfamiliar route map. What a team! I absolutely love your channel.

Chris, I was *HOWLING* with laughter seeing Ed Rooney getting hacked! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm about to reuse an old cover photo on Facebook, just know you're the reason why! 😉😉

Goodbye, Japan! Thank for showing our Chris & Marianne such hospitality! 🫶🫰
We certainly hope the borders start getting easier in the future! Big hugs from both of us to both of you, and Trudy especially. ❤️🩹❤️🩹😎👍xx
