The video of your last day in Lisbon was very interesting. I couldn't drink the cocktails you had? They looked nice, but I prefer either beer or Scotch!!! One day you will visit a bookstore and I will be able to see many books that I have read, but I haven't got lucky yet! I love watching your life and travels and you will have many memories stored up. One day, maybe, you won't be able to travel so often, but you will have a lot of memories of past travel? Everyone should travel, it makes you a more intelligent person! Thank you guys for another nice video.

You two certainly had a nice experience in all those cafés! The pastries all looked too nice - but I'm pleased that you managed them! My only point is that, although they looked very nice, they weren't particularly Japanese looking? When you are in Europe you seem to find places that represent the particular country a bit more but, I would have imagined Kyoto cafés would look a bit more traditional? Still, either way, you have made another really nice video. I hope you are both well today and have a good weekend.

What a beautiful train! The compartments looked like they could have been on The Orient Express!! The food looked too good to actually eat - I would want to keep it all for ever!! I wonder why there was all that reading material there? Why would you read books, and not look at all the beautiful scenery? The station and train staff looked so professional and smart! As is usual for Japan, everything was so clean and neat. The scenery looked so manicured, but at the same time, remained natural looking. The cable car looked old, as you say, but obviously well maintained. The cute car looked more cheerful than cute! Of course, we have beautiful places in England too, but nothing as pretty as this. Imagine being able to take this journey whenever you wanted? You are so lucky. Thank you guys for making this video - it was wonderful!

Good morning to you wonderful travellers! That video was so beautiful - it may be your best ever piece of work??? The resort did look a little bit exclusive, but it was a wonderful looking pace, and so elegant too! The food all looked incredible, apart from the seafood, which I have little or no experience of. Seafood isn't really that popular here even though it's an island and there is nowhere further that about 110kn from the sea. The Chef looked very cool too! The forest at the end was definitely worth seeing, it looked so beautiful and tranquil there. Thank you both very much for this video and have a great evening.

Good morning. Although I like your travel videos, the ones from Japan remain my favourite. Maybe it's because I've never been there but want to go? I've certainly seen very many videos of this beautiful country! Interesting to see Denim made so high profile. Fact of the day - This serge cloth was first produced in a town called Nimes n the South of France. Consequently cotton produced and dyed there became known as 'de Nimes'! Ashley definitely likes to buy cute things! The peach can be considered the King, or a kami, in the fruit world! Peaches are so luxurious and delicious. Not sure about coffee jelly? I used to use a lot of dry ice when I was at work, but not to freeze coffee though!! You two have a great evening!!!

It's a wonder that the Italians can find any space to build anything new? It's either agricultural land, natural landscapes and very old buildings??? It really is the most beautiful country in Europe though! The Holbein that you mentioned was Hans Holbein the Younger, who was German, he painted Henry VIII and then painted members of his Court and Ministers and, of course his six wives. In fact he produced the highest number of Tudor paintings compared with other artists. Have a wonderful weekend.

Good morning you two! It will be a shorter comment today (you'll be pleased to hear!). To begin with, I'm glad that you're back in Japan! The cafés all looked nice. I have never liked desserts or these various coffee drinks that can be obtained these days. I much prefer savoury food - like the crepes, pasta and sandwiches, and also only really like plain black coffee. It's nice that you can experience these foods and tastes though, especially since you don't seem to ever put weight on! I'll leave it there and look forward to Saturday's video. Take care and have a great week.

Good morning you two! Rome is very beautiful, there is no doubt about that. It is a relatively small place though and it's in danger of being swamped by tourists - a bit like Venice, Barcelona, Kyoto etc. I don't know what the happy medium is; obviously the Government of these countries benefit and the local small businesses benefit, but the local people definitely don't! I don't blame people for wanting to see these places, I want to see these places, but the crowds that go there are a great inconvenience to the local people, who don't get any of the benefit. It's a tricky problem. How old is Angelo? If he has been working there since 1939, he must have started a a boy. I mean my Mum is nearly 94 and she was born in 1930, so I just wonder when he was born. From what I remember about Roman history, Agrippa was a General who battled against Mark Anthony (Caesar's 'bestie) and Cleopatra? By the way, the name Caesar gave us the words Kaiser and Tsar. Napoleon, of course, was French and he was the most successful General in history, having fought and won so many battles! Although he wasn't a very nice guy! Compared to other Generals like Alexander of Macedon, Julius Caesar and any modern Generals, he was the greatest! I don't know anybody that doesn't like Italian food and drinks, you two seemed to enjoy it? It's amazing to be able to see works of art created by all those Italian renaissance artists. Obviously they didn't produce the artwork totally by themselves, they had assistants and apprentices who did most of the work. But it is still a thrill to see them in person. Anyway, I have been talking for too long, as usual. Let's hope that the 'magic water' really helps you with your studies! Bye for now.

Good morning guys! Rome is a truly beautiful place. The food that you had was incredibly expensive - 10 Euro for tomato and mozzarella??? Still, I suppose that must have been tourist price? It is still delicious though. I was brought up a Roman Catholic, as my parents came from Ireland a very Catholic country. I totally refute it all now though! I bet the Papal Mass was an ordeal? It probably lasted an hour or two?? Did you know that Vatican City has the highest crime rate in Europe, and I've just checked - its the fourth highest in the World!! This is obviously due to it's tiny population, compared to the high amount of tourist targeted crime - pick pockets etc. A dangerous place eh? Nissom is very thoughtful and sweet to think of Ashley and buy her some flowers. Ladies seem to love flowers for some reason which I don't understand??? One of the first views of the record shop showed a picture of Jimi Hendrix on the right, Elton John on the left, and one of my all time heroes in the middle - the genius that is Frank Zappa!!! The colosseum is amazing when you think about it's age and the great condition that it's in. How many of today's buildings will still be there in almost 2,000 years? As always, thank you for the lovely video and having to put up with all my opinions of everything! I think that, as a person gets older, he becomes more opinionated, and even grumpy? I hope that you have a good evening and that everything else is going well for you both.

The Papal Mass was indeed an ordeal because it was too hot and shiny on that day. It lasted around half an hour. Anyway, we believe that this is a one-time experience in life.

Good morning to you beautiful travellers!! It looked like a lovely day in Florence! I remember when I was younger, I could eat an enormous amount, and still have room for more. Looking at you two young people, I remember those days. These days I couldn't manage to eat a fraction of what you two eat (and stay so slim!). I also realise that I am not qualified to talk about all the cafés and restaurants you visit, because I no longer eat as much as a growing young person!! You had the coffee and gelato, then started talking about getting breakfast - I could not take a lot of calories like that! One day you will be 'old' and maybe agree? It's amazing that, architecture built by one family, still gets so many visitors 100's of years later! Nissom had his eye on that watch; it was in his style and I think that he wanted to own it??? Maybe Ashley fancied some of that pottery too? You look like you had a wonderful time in Florence? The book shop looked amazing, especially with the auditorium above it!! I am jealous of you, but it's lovely to see you having a good time. Your videos are so interesting, and you videoed them so well. You have excellent taste!

It's a shame the steak, which looked so nice, wasn't that good? I'm glad that the roast pork sandwich was nice though - roast pork is such a delicious meat! Florence is such a lovely place; it's like living in a Renaissance world!! The buildings were real works of art and I see they are being cleaned? That should make them even more beautiful!

Good morning guys! I just realised that I plan my morning around the expected time of your video being uploaded! I have decided that I will stop being any sort of food critic as I am not qualified to make comments. When I was young, I too could eat lots of food, these days I have the appetite of a small bird!!! It's nice to see young people eating so much - especially slim people like you two! All I will say is that the ham and salami platter you had looked very nice! I have never been to Venice and, while it looks lovely there, I don't think that I could cope with the number of people there. I believe that Venice is struggling with two main problems; rising sea levels and over tourism? Tourism is a wonderful thing until the number of visitors rise to such a high level. I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to go there, but so many places in the world are experiencing really high numbers. This is great for Governments and local businesses, but it really impacts the locals at times. Plus tourists don't always behave in an appropriate manner; you know what I mean? I don't want to criticise people for wanting to go places and see the culture, art, architecture and atmosphere there after all, I have been a tourist too! I just wonder what the 'Happy Medium' is?? I see it was your last day there, where are you off to next? I wonder if you're ever at home!!! I'm pleased that you have so much fun and get so much experience of other places, but I think that it's nice to sleep in your own bed too! Enjoy your weekend you two - see you on Tuesday.

Good afternoon, Neale! Venice is such a lovely place only if we stay in less touristy places such as the island of Giudecca. It is so quiet and peaceful. Perhaps we can’t come up with a solution to the problem of over tourism. It is nice that people travel around and experience different cultures in this global world, but the harm to locals can never be underestimated. The only important thing is that tourists should behave themselves! Our video next Tuesday is still an Italy vlog. Let’s keep it as a secret and you would be surprised.

Good morning you lovely couple! I think you found the two main problems with tourism in Europe - high prices and high numbers of people! Venice is beautiful, but as you probably realise, it has a huge problem with rising sea levels; those books that were water damaged looked like a very sad scene! I don't think that there is much I can say about Venice that you wouldn't know already? You already know that Marco Polo came from there, but a few other well known people came from Venice too. The artists Titian and Tintoretto (which was a nick name from his father's occupation as a dyer), the composer Vivaldi and of course, the famous lover Giocomo Casanova - the one who 'sighed' on the bridge! Venice was also one of the states that the word 'bank' came from, alone with Genoa and Florence. The word bank comes from the Italian word 'banque' which was the bench, or small table, that they used for business. Anyway, I'm getting boring now! Ashley looked nice wearing her glasses!! Have a good remainder of your day!

Ciao guys! I can't imagine being in Doha for anything other than a connecting flight to somewhere else; it's not my sort of place at all. I have been to many places in Europe, but never in Milan. It looks like a beautiful city. Italian food is one of my favourites - I love their bread, ham, pasta. The football flag was one of Internazionale Milano - Inter for short. I think that the cathedral was absolutely stunning! I love that sort of Italian Gothic with high vaulted ceilings, spires and pinnacles and abutments! It was cheap to visit too at only €10. (The symbol for the Euro - € - is actually the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet, although that's not really that interesting) Actually, Italy only became a country in about 1860; previous to that it was just a collection of separate States. I know that Victor Emmanuel II was a King of Italy before the monarchy was overthrown, but I don't know much more. I'm sorry that your meal was so expensive, maybe because it was in a high tourist area? Good to see Nissom carry the luggage like the true gentleman porter! Have a nice weekend.

Ciao Neale. We think Doha is an interesting and mysterious place to visit. We are thinking to go out of the airport and have a half-day visit during transit next time, haha. The time in Italy is very memorable. Beautiful city and excellent Italian food. The meal is not in a tourist area, but a residential area! Not sure why it is so expensive. We are very much disappointed by that meal, but luckily we tried something much better in our later journey. We are now working very hard on the videos (and also our papers). Have a lovely weekend. ❤

I have seen Biwako only on maps before and didn't realise it was so big! The lunch you had in Madocafé looked so delicious! I am not a big 'food fan', but all that food made me feel very hungry!!! I wonder why people always associate paddle steamers with The USA? They were invented in France, but I guess they were made famous by stories written by Mark Twain? (Do you know what his name means? His real name was Samuel Langhorn Clemens) Another interesting fact - Ashley can go to sleep here - have you heard of the wonderful Bridge, Rail and Shipbuilding engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel? He built the first ship that was completely built of wrought iron. During the build of this enormous ship, he wanted to decide whether to power it with paddles or a screw propeller; so called because it comprised of a section of an Archimedes screw. He held a 'Tug-of-War' between these two types of propulsion methods, and the screw proved much stronger! So every ship from then was built with one, almost up to the present day. Anyway, school over for today!! If only I didn't talk so much? I would be the first every day!! Thank you both for making me smile again.

Hi Neale. Thanks for being the first again! We hope this video was a little surprise for you. Biwa Lake is so beautiful. In the pen name “Mark Twain”, Twain means “two”. He was a riverboat pilot and he heard the term “Mark Twain” meaning “two fathoms” regularly. Is it correct? BTW thanks for all the knowledge shared :) have a nice day! ❤

@@AshleyandNissom What an excellent student you are - perfect answer!! Go to the top of the class immediately! I used to tell my children when they were growing up to always to be curious. Wonder about everything.....'where did that word come from?', 'how does that work?', why does that happen?' etc. The only people who don't like being asked questions are those who don't know the answer!! I believe that a new little bit of knowledge every day will improve your life! Never stop being curious. Have a great evening.

I must have been the very first today; I timed it to the exact second!!! My comments have become a little bit repetitive, I think? You already know what I think about pretentious cafés. So I wont be critical of them this time. (Really a spade as a spoon? 🤔) Anyway, I'll try not to be boring again this time 🤞. In the second place, you said the owner was showcasing her book collection - it certainly is splendid! That was truly my kind of place. I don't like the, so called 'libraries', with the leather bound books that are never read. I absolutely loved the piles of books on the staircase and in front of the shelves! That's how my book collection is stored, although I don't have that many! I saw a book about Alexander the Great; I have several books about him. It was next to the book about Ersatz Elevator; I am going to do another quiz - do you know what 'Ersatz' is, and why is relates to elevators? Could you smell the roasting in the third place? It must have been amazing! Nissom would make a great model! Tall and handsome, he would be a success in a magazine campaign!!! Honestly, I am not surprised that the Americano tastes like water - I think that it's supposed to, if you remember how it got it's name!! I must say that every place you went to was beautiful in it's own way, but your perfect presentation of them made them seem even better!! Have a great day today you two, I am so happy to see young people, who are so cultured, enjoying their lives!

Hello, Neale! Yes, you should be the first today, but sorry that we are replying late this time. We were out all day. By the way your comments would never be repetitive :) Glad that you like that book cafe. We don’t know the book “Ersatz Elevator” and we cheated. The book is about a child who noticed that there was one elevator door on each floor except for the top floor, which had two. The child later discovered that the extra elevator was “ersatz", fake. In the third place, the roasting is amazing. Thanks for your good words for Nissom. We are leaving a short comment today. Good night and have a wonderful day ahead.

Hello guys! The Bookstore Alley would be like Heaven to me- as long as the books were in English or course! Gamcheon Culture Village does look like Santorini! Although I have been in Greece before, I have never been to Santorini, but it does look like the pictures that I've seen. I suppose that if a place is already culturally valuable or beautiful, then tourists will come to see it and local people get a source of income from it. However, if a place has been made deliberately attractive to tourists, even though it doesn't have much cultural value, then it becomes very attractive to certain tourists - usually generating income for big businesses. Theme Parks for example. I bet Ashley really liked the glass bottomed cable car??????? The coastal café towards the end really impressed me. The picture on the side of that building of that little girl was outstandingly beautiful!!! 🥰 I could just have stared at it for hours! Thank you for always entertaining me with your wonderful videos. Are you still in Lisbon, or have you moved on yet? You were actually in the same time zone as me!!! In fact you were just three hours form me too - you could have popped in for lunch!!!!!!!

Good afternoon, Neale! Sorry it seems our first time to address your name, but we thought it would be a bit “rude” to address you directly by your name (at least in our culture). Now you are more like a friend of us! We have never been to Greece. Santorini has been a dream place to visit but we gave up on it because of the number of tourists! It’s always a dilemma…culturally valuable and beautiful places visited by tourists vs. nice places overwhelmed by tourists…anyway it would be great to visit some of the historical places like those in Rome. We had a great time there. By the way Ashley was a bit anxious at first because of the height but she likes the glass-bottomed cable car. You may like it too. We are still in Lisbon. We are attending a 5-day academic conference. We did presentations yesterday and we are more relaxed today. Yes, we are near you now and we should have popped in for lunch!

@@AshleyandNissom Believe me, it is an honour to have you address me by my first name; I know it other cultures is it rude, but in the English culture it is a sign of friendship. I am also honoured that you can consider me as a friend, even though we have never met. I have only been in Greece once and that was in Athens. I remember the long climb to get up to the Acropolis!! There were small ruins of ancient buildings everywhere - even in parks! Please don't feel like you have to reply so quickly to my messages. You should be enjoying the sights and the weather, not talking to an old man!!! Maybe you are sitting in lectures during the day? Take care my beautiful young friends; you have only one life so make sure that you enjoy every minute!

I was nice and early today!! Busan seems very lovely? I like the elevator to the top of the tower, but (just like Ashley), I would have been very nervous about the glass bridge! It is obviously not going to collapse, but there's always a first time! By the way, Ashley's dress was very pretty! The seafood platter was enormous!!! I think that I've said before, seafood isn't hugely popular in UK, people eat it but it's not as popular as it is in Asia. The view of the scenery from the Sky Capsule was so beautiful! I didn't know the pink car character; but I don't know many anime characters- I only know Anpanman because you two taught me!! The biggest shopping mall in the world??? Already I know that would NOT be for me! I really hate shopping, and the more shops there are, the more dislike it! You were very lucky with the weather in Busan, maybe that's why you were both very 'smiley' that day? You both looked like you were having a lot of fun. I hope that your travels in Italy are going well, and you are not having to put up with 1,000's of tourists? It's so lovely to see you both enjoying your young lives! Thank you.

Good afternoon. You are so quick to leave a comment today! Yes, we love Busan so much. Everywhere is sky blue and so beautiful. The food there is unexpectedly good! They are very local and we can’t have them in Seoul. Seafood there is different from sushi or sashimi available in Japan. By the way we don’t know the pink car character either. Perhaps it’s something Korean? We are going to Rome’s airport now. We will be in Lisbon tonight! Hope you enjoy your day too!
