    GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN GUYS!!
    I’ve been sent numerous messages by anxious viewers wondering where all the videos have been recently; there’s no one reason, it started with a two week holiday back to the UK in February and upon returning I’ve been filming and editing non-stop ever since.
    One of the reasons is this month there are quite a few, lengthy travel-style videos (almost 20 mins each), which require more editing than usual; hell, I’ve been editing this video until 4am this morning - as I write this it’s almost 5am and my final act will be to collapse on the keyboard in about 90 seconds.
    The good news is, it’s looking like this month will break the record on this channel, for most videos ever released in a month! So there’s plenty of videos to look forward to and keep you entertained in the coming weeks! The line up includes two videos with Natsuki, two videos with Ryotaro and a monster food challenge, to name but a few.
    Finally, there’s an all new Abroad in Japan PODCAST out every Wednesday. It took me five years to get around to it, and we’re now four episodes in! It’s been great fun talking through five years of stories and experiences of life in Japan. A lot of people have been asking if the new Podcast is the reason there’s been no videos and there’s honestly no connection. Podcasts take a couple of hours, videos takes days. But if you haven’t come across it yet (and you like Japan stuff), be sure to have a listen here: hyperurl.co/nhgr30
    And now, I’ll officially collapse.
    Thank you everyone.

      It can be a small world. I remember one time when I was living in the middle of nowhere about 200km from where I grew up. I was taking the bus to work one day and this guy across from me goes "Hey, is your name (my name here)" I go "yeah..." trying to figure out where I know him from. Turned out I went to school with him 20 years ago. What are the odds? And yet, now that I live back home, I haven't run into a single person I went to school with in the 5 years I've been back.

    • @VoidHalo
      @VoidHalo 5 лет назад +24

      Well, I've looked into whether volcanoes cause anomalies in the Earth's geomagnetic field and it turns out I was wrong. They do indeed cause fluctuations. Probably just weaker compared to ones like the South Atlantic anomaly where it's the size of a continent.
      In the paper I read, they were saying the reason volcanoes cause these anomalies is because in the magma chamber deep underground, the magma puts a massive amount of pressure on the rock in the walls of the chamber. This pressure causes what's called the piezomagnetic effect. Which is just a fancy way of saying when certain types of minerals are compressed, it creates a magnetic field. You may have heard of the piezoelectric effect where if you compress a quartz crystal it generates electricity. Like in the starter for a BBQ or one of those electric lighters. The piezomagnetic effect works the same but obviously it generates a magnetic field instead of an electrical field.
      So in short, the pressure of the magma in the chamber compresses the rocks in the chamber walls which creates a magnetic field due to the piezomagnetic effect and you get your anomaly.
      I really hope this has been as enlightening for you as it was for me. Though frankly, I'd consider it a victory if you simply read these long winded replies. Cheers. =)

Chris, best wishes to you, your crew (entourage), and everyone who supports you! This thing you made is more than a travelogue.

      It made sense. Superman's movie was 'Man of Steel'. They were talking about how his heart was made of steel.

      This has to be Chris under a secondary RUclips channel praising his own channel, yes? Come on, Chris. Cut it out! On the other hand, I have not ever heard Chris use the word, "dude". This could be legit!

    Chris Broad...YOU'RE ALIVE! My wife & I have been missing your videos, we went back and watched some of your older videos in anticipation for this new one.

      Alex Romo that's still decent Japanese. After all those hours spent on him learning Japanese? I would definitely show it off! It's also great motivation for people who want to learn a language. It would inspire people to think "wow, he can get this good at speaking and reading it, I can too!''

      FlowUrbanFlow id rather put subtitles on videos so the audience can see what I'm saying and have the person I'm talking to understand what he's saying rather than speaking English to the person he's talking to.

    the drone did not work because a volcano is filled with molten metal and stone and that can cause magnetic interference

    • @sonny2dap
      @sonny2dap 6 лет назад +25

      bazinga is spot on, the magma chamber is a massive magnetic anomaly so not surprising the drone got confused.

    • @sonny2dap
      @sonny2dap 6 лет назад +13

      To be fair it's been a while but movement of conductive elements (in the magma) by convection through the earths existing magnetic field, thus generating an electrical charge and therefore magnetic interference, (I imagine the power lines don't help though.) If i have this wrong then apologies.

    • @IkuTree
      @IkuTree 6 лет назад +3

      Yeah my thought while watching that scene was “isn’t a volcano a gigantic magnetic.. thingy?” x)

      ninefifteen The tread pattern on the tires at 15:50 shows that they are actual winter tires. In areas where they are used slippery surfaces rarely cause any bigger problems. Also, in areas where they are used, there are usually snow ploughs at standby, ready to remove the excess snow.
