Ask Abroad Hangout | Feat. Natsuki! | Saturday 30th March

If I can get up at 4am here to catch Premier League, then I can also get up for this.

hey Chris and Natsuki. I have always wondered after you both struck up your friendship did you feel it was like the beginning of a typical friendship, was there any cultural things that stood out in the beginning? I remember chris saying he felt unlike himself when he spoke Japanese, so do you both speak English even when the camera is off or is it maybe 50/50?

Hey Guys, this question is for you Chris (as Natsuki doesn't actually have much room to do it at his job): Do you ever find yourself fighting with procrastination? Do you consider yourself a "procrastinator"? If your answer's yes, do you have any story about a situation like that? I find myself doing it a lot, but I am extremely productive when the panic button hits.

Hello Chris. What is your favourite Clash song? Hello Natsuki. Can you play Chris' favourite Clash song on guitar right now?

Chris AND Natsuki?! I’m definitely getting up at 8am on a Saturday for this. My question is: when are you lovely gents coming to America? Is there anything in the works for the future?

Chantix has an array of negative side effects, such as suicidal thoughts, depression, hostility, etc. It’s worked for some, but I’ve had at least 3 friends try it and had to stop taking it due to how it altered their mood. I would highly recommend researching Chantix first. Although, stoked it worked for your friend!

Fuck a duck! Saturday 6am in San Francisco is a premium time for 💤 but just to throw it out there I’ll ask this. Chris / Natsuki :::: what is the best day you’ve spent together during your friendship? What did you do? Why was it special?

Hello Chris and Natsuki from tiny Estonia! I hope you both guys are doing well. Unfortunately I will have to miss the stream, but Chris, can you please ask Natsuki, what is one very important thing that he have learned from you?

Now I don't have to MAKE UP excuses not to go out with friends on a saturday night. If only I had friends.

Absolutely gutted I'll be missing the livestream again, (Curse you weekend work), I do have a question though: Since Natsuki had his first taste of excercise during the Cycle of Despair, does he have any intention of trying to keep at it and become fitter?

For Chris and Natsuki I can get up at 6am on a Saturday

Vanessa Walsh

Nay, keep up the fantastic work!

Chris Hamel

Hey Chris and Natsuki, hope you are doing well. I have a question for Chris. Your video about how you make your YouTube videos was great and thank you so much for the additional sources for music! My question is: when you make your videos in Adobe, what export settings do you use to get the fantastic quality that you always provide us with? P.s. I know a good camera also counts, I'm just curious about what the best settings are when I get to the point of export. Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Chris Hamel

Let's hope the YouTube reminder system works this time haha.

Hi Chris & Natsuki! Chris, in regards to helping Natsuki quit smoking, is the medication Chantix available in Japan? Once on it, cravings subside and you'll feel very ill if you try and smoke. BONUS: a common side effect is "vivid and intense dreaming"! Had a friend on it once who said the dreams alone were worth it.

Hey Chris! I have been to Japan twice now after seeing your videos and I have planned around your recommendations (ta!) and I am curious to know, how have your travel goals changed as you have seen more of the country? I imagine there are a lot of attractions you see for the sake of videos and Content, but when you are 6-7 years in like you are now, what experiences do you seek out just "for Chris"? Thanks for years of great content, and inspiring some amazing personal travel expirences! James and Yi x
