I love it too, except for the crowds. I don’t blame people for visiting the city to view the cherry blossoms, after all I do too, but it’s gotten so crowded that it can be hard to enjoy them. I try to pick times that are less popular, but I give up a lot of the time and just head home.

It’s Mike’s jacket over the knob on the end of his seat. When he was setting up the shot before he started recording, he probably saw the guy’s mug in the side. Of the shot and just hang his jacket there to cover it up or I should say cover him up.

I would love to see Chinese restaurants giving us a more crispy noodle experience. I often get Cantonese chow mein because it’s full of vegetables and that’s good for you. However, I find that if you order this meal, they drown the noodles in the sauce. I would much prefer Frying their noodles very quickly and then give it to you in a separate container and go easy on the sauce. The texture is mind blowing, and the flavour is great. I would like to preface that these restaurants are in Canada and therefore do not know how to cook a authentic Chinese meals.

The fish in Japanese is called "amago". Mikey says that in the video. "Amago" is a different species than "ayu". The latin term is "oncorhynchus masou", a type of trout. I guess you call "ayu", "yamame" and "amago" by hhe name "sweetfish" in English because they're all small river fish although they're all different. None of these fish are found outside East Asia.
@AnakinSkyobiliviator5 ай бұрын
@@vivida7160 Yep, I did some checking up and realized that amago and ayu aren't the same fish. I'm surprised that there are other fishes that goes by the "sweetfish" name though, especially since ayu was also featured in the very same place later in the video.
