    I hope you read this message because today I am on the second sailing of this ferry, thanks to you. I have always enjoyed your videos and wanted to experience it for myself. I was nervous knowing generally English isn’t spoken on the ship but your videos helped me prepare. Currently enjoying the buffet as the only gaijin on the boat. Thank you for all the videos and inspiring me to add the ferry to my trip.

Then after it died we left it out for the birds to eat again. I’ll be glad when it’s gone I kept telling myself. It did go, but if I look in that space where it was…that damn song immediately pops into my head 😂
