Today's episode may be a bit triggering as we visit Hiroshima and the museum. Second half of the video is way more relaxing as I take you in the nature for forest bathing. We visit buddist temple deep in the forest.

In today’s episode, a real dualism - first, a sad and difficult history - Hiroshima and the explosion of the atomic bomb, and in the second part, a Buddhist temple hidden in the mountains, Japanese forest bathing.
From Tokyo, we went to Osaka. For the first time, I struggled with being refused entry to a restaurant because I was a foreigner. But I found other options, where I was warmly welcomed, so it was fine. Tired of the city, we headed out of town for a good forest bath. We walked along the river and through a thousand shades of green to a Buddhist monastery somewhere in the mountains. Along the way, we passed small Buddhist shrines, and at our destination, I lit a candle and incense. After using Google Translate, it turned out it was for good luck on my exams, so if anyone needs it, let me know, because my intentions were different, and I've already passed my final exams. On the way back, we got lost, but unintentionally hitchhiked with a very nice Japanese woman who had the most beautiful laugh in the world! She dropped us off in town, and it was a quick ride home. We arrived again proudly as Chopin's descendants. A fantastic adventure! And the cherry on top (as if we could handle any more excitement?): a jazz concert at a Buddhist temple! Seriously, what else will this world show us?
Japan. I always lived in the belief that this was the only country I have never been to, but I felt that I could live here. And now we arrived spontaneously in Tokyo, so it's time to verify my image. I don't understand many things and the situation here. Even with the simplest sign, I break down on letters. It remains for me to nod my head politely and try to keep it nicely. At every step I feel that it is incredibly calm here. As if silence in the forest, only in the city. Nowhere else I felt such patience in the crowd here. A wave of people does not tire me, I just swim calmly in it. Strange! I am also glad that we stopped at Asakus, a little further from the center. Cyclists sneak even slower and quieter here. And we walk with empty streets so beautiful that where I will not turn around the magic frame. And still food. What are these wonderful flavors; From grilled mackerel, tartare from Tuñczyk, toast with beef, to even a sandwich with strawberries. Everything is surprising and umami. So many and so many first impressions.
Today I invite you to Sequoia National Park in California, to admire the beauty of giant trees!

American dream. Man all his life watched American films, drank Cola, wore jeans until one day he woke up in a black convertible, rushing through California. During the week we visit two national parks, we give an interview standing on Walk of Fame, fry fluffy pancakes and laugh at the tears on Secret Comedy. The latter, thanks to the good and tasty jokes of Standper, shows us the state and its inhabitants.
In todays episode the most beautiful desert I have ever seen! in Joshua Tree National Park. We get there by rent car from Los Angeles and I feel so touched by the nature in California! We also visit Pioneer Town but was it worth the visit?
Is Panama City the Dubai of Central America? I invite you to a casual vlog from Panama City. There will be skyscrapers, a crocodile, a walk around the city and Colombian coffee.
In today's episode we are going to an absolute paradise, uninhabited island in the Caribbean Sea in Panama! We will also visit Red Frog Beach, where we observe toxic frogs and admire the power of the ocean at the edge of the rainforest. Absolute love! I also tell how we got there, how I prepared for this trip around the world and where we got the money from to travel 😅
