    Just watching Kyde walk from the two sinks to the showerroom my eyes suddenly teared up because I realized I’ve been ‘travelling’ with you for 8 years and it has brought me so much joy. I’ve travelled extensively myself but the closest thing to that has to be watching you guys.
    Thank you for sharing your life with us in this way, your channel is truly a gem!

    Thanks for Biwa part two.
    When Kyde started her eggy lunch my mouth opened in a reflex action expecting to be fed.
    Given how cold the lake water is perhaps you could use it as an anaesthetic on your cycling aches and pains.
    Looking forward to seeing part three.

    Great scenic views! It seems like you had a little trouble finding food/restaurants (at least, it was inconvenient to get to them by bicycle). I would have thought that there might be better infrastructure for making the loop around Lake Biwa for bicyclists. On the other hand, you have found so many really interesting things to stop for.

    • @kydeanderic
      @kydeanderic  3 года назад

      I'd translate a jinja as a shrine, so I think google is right in that. It's not always super clear which you are standing in front of, however. There are strong signals if you know what to look for, but sometimes shine things are at temples and vice versa making it complicated. Or there will be a shrine AT a temple and if you are standing in one part of the area you will think one thing and walk 10 feet and think the other lol

    i love residential rides showing homes and how the common people live. does everyone in Tokyo live in high rises or can residential areas be seen in Tokyo? maybe that can be shown one day.

      We do "ward" videos sometimes showing different parts of Tokyo. A recent one shows a bit of what residential housing looks like. : ruclips.net/video/GiAO6HOGRVo/видео.html
      We also lived in a small house at one point, here is a video about it: ruclips.net/video/PdeXH6yyAd0/видео.html

      @@kydeanderic thank you much. watched both videos. and believe it or not, as soon as you showed the rear of that building, i knew it was a jail. looks so much like ours here in san antonio tx.
