Anime Museum in Tokyo, Japan (Suginami) Reformatt Travel Show 2019-04-09 | Did you know that most of our childhood cartoons were animated in Japan? The quality of Japanese animation is top notch and has been unmatched ever since. Sadly, the Suginami Animation Museum is often overlooked by tourists but if you want to go back to your childhood memories be ready to be amazed by finding traces of classic cartoons like Astroboy, Evangelion, Calimero, Gundam, Samurai Pizza Cats, Macron 1 and Voltron.This video is a tribute to my childhood in Holland!The most prominent exhibitions at Suginami are the giant wall of fame which showcases all the cartoons animated in Japan from the 1950s all the way up to the 2000s.Right next to it you'll find famous Japanese animator desks and a massive popup of Evangelion and Bob from the Genie Family.Though animation first came to Japan in the early 1900s, it didn't boom until the mid-century. In the 1970s, influential manga comic book artists such as Osamu Tezuka inspired a unique giant robot genre known as "mecha," which focuses on detailed mechanical designs, complex sci-fi plots, and themes recalling Japan's nuclear past and the implications of technology on future humanity.Starting with the likes of Tezuka's Astro Boy, the Tokyo Polytechnic University Suginami Animation Museum provides a comprehensive look into anime's past, present, and future, while also curating hands-on workshops, talks from industry professionals, and screenings in the museum theater.Though smaller than the renowned (and incredibly difficult to reserve) Studio Ghibli Museum, Tokyo Polytechnic University Suginami Animation Museum is free to enter, and even offers an audio tour in English. What: Suginami Animation MuseumWhy: Japan's first anime museum!Where: 3-Chome-29-5 杉並会館, Suginami City, TokyoPrice: FREEWhen: 10:00am until 6:00pm, Mondays closed.Tips: Most of this museum is in Japanese. An English audio guide available.These are my childhood favorites:Vrouwtje Theelepel, 1983Voltron, 1983Macron 1, 1985Tovenaar van Oz, 1986Maple Town, 1986Dommel, 1988Adventures of Peter Pan, 1998Alfred J.

That's why my brother and I took it upon ourselves to bring you the Ultimate Travel Guide for Zermatt. Located on the border between Switzerland and Italy at a height of 3899 meters with 360 kilometers of endless slopes. The most remarkable feature is; Zermatt offers snow 365 days per year and receives 300 inches of snow annually, now that is very hard to beat!Download my FREE Zermatt Travel map:reformatt.com/zermatt-travel-guide► 100+ photos, prices, discounts and extra tipsFind the cheapest hotels in Zermatt:go.reformatt.com/DJmgo8Find the best attractions in Zermatt:go.reformatt.com/O9RGOpThe first thing upon arrival at Zermatt station is to rent your ski or snowboard gear so you can go up the mountains in the early morning without any hassles. A good start is the Gornergrat, to get there you can jump on the highest-altitude cogwheel railway in Europe which ends at the highest hotel in Switzerland, the Kulmhotel, from here you can also set eyes on the mountain in Switzerland, the Monte Rosa Massif. After you day on the slopes have dinner at the unique Chez Heini restaurant for their bizarre Red High Heel Soup, usually the soup of the day and their extremely juicy lamb chops. Alternatively, feast on the Swiss traditional dish Raclette at Du Pont restaurant, the oldest restaurant in Zermatt.The most unique attraction in Zermatt is by far the Cheese Fondue in an Igloo experience. For 70 Swiss francs or 70 US dollars you will join a tour group venturing out the Iglu-dorf located in the mountains near the Riffelberg station. Inside the giant Iglu-dorf complex, created out of igloos, you will be welcoming with a warm cup of mulled red wine and presented with the most incredible cheese fondue experience while you enjoy the live music, every Thursday!The Iglu-dorf is basically a giant hotel complex with many rooms, a love-nest and a bar complete with a jacuzzi.

10 Things to do in Lötschental, Switzerland (Tschäggättä Monster Village) Reformatt Travel Show 2020-11-01 | Lötschental is home to the Tschäggättä, the creepiest mountain tradition in Switzerland. This Swiss travel guide covers the best places to visit and things to do in the Lötschental valley including gems like Zur Blauen Stube museum, Breithorn restaurant, and Lötschentaler museum.Lötschental is considered by many citizens of Switzerland to be the most beautiful valley in the country. Especially since the valley of Lötschental enjoys 300 days of sunshine every year, making it the 'Southern California of Switzerland'. Also known for incredible local produce like meats and Swiss cheese.Download my FREE Lötschental Map with 200+ Photos: reformatt.com/loetschental-travel-guideThe main reason I went to Lötschental was to dive deep into the Tschäggättä tradition and find out what makes this tradition so special with all the incredibly creepy and intimidating carved wooden masks, going back many generations to the year 1790.Start your early morning adventure in Blatten the furthest village in the valley, this village is especially beautiful in bright sunlight, luckily Lotschental enjoy 300 days of sunshine each year, making it the 'Southern California of Switzerland'. Due bring a bottle to fill up with fresh alp water, the most delicious water you'll ever taste, crisp & pure delight.The most fascinating museum in Lotschental is Zur Blauen Stube, a private museum for which you'd have to make a reservation on their website. The museum includes a mask carving shop, fur pelts room, paint room for the masks and many levels of incredible detailed Tschaggatta costumes.$46 OFF with Airbnb Switzerland:airbnb.ca/c/mvuuren?currency=USDI was extremely fortunate being invited into a private Tschäggättä lair to see the entire process of getting dressed for the festivities and let me tell you, those costumes are super heavy and take hours to put on. Watch my video for a complete experience.Lötschental has the cutest shop in Switzerland called Genuss-Hofladen, known of its super fresh local produce like meats and cheeses but also hand-made Swiss souvenirs.For the best place to stay and experience the Tschäggättä traditions, consider Hotel Petersgrat which has a rich Swiss breakfast and excellent service plus the manager of the hotel is a professional Tschaggatta photograher as well, ask her about her work and you will be presented with the most incredible photos of the Tschaggatta tradition.In conclusion, it was quite a journey to get to this tiny Swiss village of just 1500 people but it was totally worth it after experiences one crazy night with the Tschaggatta chasing me down the streets of Lötschental. Now, to experience this as well book yourself a flight to Zurich Airport in Switzerland but also purchase the Swiss Travel Pass which includes free travel on trains, buses, boats, mountains and 480 museums free to access. Starting at only $240 US dollars but 100% worth it.Support my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformattThanks for all your support, rating the video and leaving a comment is always appreciated!
30 Things to do in Engelberg & Titlis, Switzerland Reformatt Travel Show 2020-09-27 | These are my carefully selected 30 best things to do in Engelberg - the biggest winter sport resort in central Switzerland. I included gems like the Titlis Cliff Walk, Snowmobiles, Igloo Ice Skating, Après Ski, Airboarding, Alper Rosti and of course the most epic slopes for snowboarding and skiing for beginners to professionals. Subscribe to my channel ► bit.ly/2aeuh9b for new videos!Book great & affordable hotels in Engelberg:go.reformatt.com/w85NJWBook the best attractions in Engelberg:go.reformatt.com/61MwY8There are not many guides and videos online that truly cover everything Engelberg has to offer. I made it my goal to take you from your arrival to activities, slopes, restaurants, bars to budget groceries, in-depth history and discounts. My brother and I shot this video at the end of January. You may be surprised but the low season is actually in January thus a great time to visit during the peak of winter.Download my FREE Engelberg Map with 200+ Photos: reformatt.com/engelberg-titlis-travel-guideThe first place to visit is Intersport at the base of the Titlis mountain to pickup your skiing or snowboarding gear. They offer pretty good rental rates. Visit Titlis at early dawn by jumping on world's first revolving cable car since 1992, the Titlis Rotair. This cable car will take you to the peak of Titlis at a height of 3020 meters. Titlis is best known for having Europe's highest suspension bridge but also a beautiful turquoise-blue light caused by refracted sunlight. The temperature in the cave is a steady -2 degrees Celsius all year round.Downtown Engelberg provides a cozy shopping street for great Swiss souvenirs, restaurants offering Swiss cuisine like Cheese Fondue and the Tal museum. At the end of the Engelberg village street (Dorfstrasse) you'll find the Engelberg Abbey. The abbey was founded by monks in 1120, while the town of Engelberg gradually built around it. Engelberg literally means Angel Mountain in English.One of our favorite activities was rental a set of snowmobiles at SnowXPark at the mid-station on Titlis. For just 25 CHF or $23 US dollars for 10 minutes on a closed track, great for an afternoon match-off. Luckily, converting Swiss Francs to US dollars is easy, they are the exact same.One of the better restaurants in Engelberg include Ende Der Welt restaurant, literally; The End of The World. Since this cozy restaurant is located at the end of a narrow street within a massive valley.Another restaurant worth mentioning is Alpenclub, we must have had our best meal here. The house special; This incredible juicy steak covers with onions will set you back 52 CHF, $52 US dollars, but it will be the best juicy steak you'll ever eat.The absolute best activity was Airboarding on Mount Brunni, this was a totally unexpected activity. Airboarding is basically sledding but on your stomach on an air mattress. Airboarding has its own dedicated track and is so much fun, especially while racing your friends. Renting an airboard will set you back 15 CHF, $15 US dollars.In conclusion, Engelberg is an absolute fantastic winter sport destination if you want to avoid the busy jet set slopes of Austria and Germany. Engelberg offers something for everyone, from families to die-hard professional snowboarders. Do not forget to end every meal in Engelberg with a local Luz coffee which is thin coffee with fruit flavoured Brandy, got to love the Swiss! Now if you want to save yourself a ton of money, consider buying the official Swiss Travel Pass which cover free transit in Switzerland on trains, boats, buses and cable cars but also includes access to 420 museums in Switzerland. Starting at 240 CHF, $240 US dollars, it would be a mistake visiting Switzerland without it.1. Intersport2. Titlis3. Titlis Rotair4. Kleintitlis5. Titlis Cliff Walk6. Glacier Cave7. The Buddha8.

30 Things to do in Lucerne, Switzerland Reformatt Travel Show 2020-09-13 | These are my carefully selected 30 Things to do in Lucerne, Switzerland. I included gems like the Au Cachet, Barabas, Mount Rigi, Sledding, Swiss Transport Museum, Lucerne Carnival, Lion Monument, where to eat the best Swiss Cheese Fondue and the vibrant Lucerne nightlife.

Lucerne has plenty or attractions and fun activities to offer and can be easily explored within 2 days. I brought my brother Hugo along on this magical adventure through Switzerland.Download my FREE Lucerne Map with 200+ Photos: reformatt.com/lucerne-travel-guide► 100+ photos, prices, discounts and extra tipsBook great & affordable hotels in Lucerne:go.reformatt.com/RGzxoGBook the best attractions in Lucerne:go.reformatt.com/mNoNlrStart off your Lucerne adventure in the heart of city on the banks of river reuss which splits the city in two parts, the old and the new part connected by the famous bridges Chapel Bridge and Mill Bridge (Spreuerbrucke) with the iconic Jesuit church, founded in 1666.Most tourists stick to the oldtown and primarily use Lucerne as a transfer hub to the Alps, but when you dig a bit deeper you'll find gems like the Swiss Transport Museum, houses the biggest Space museum in Europe complete with Mars rovers and a gravity transformer. My favorite exhibit was the massive pile of Swiss road sighs on their court yard.According to the locals, a day trip to Mount Rigi is actually more rewarding than Mount Pilatus for its wide-stretched 360 views of Central Switzerland. At the peak you have a clear view of 125 Alpine peaks and 13 lakes. Get there by ferry and the classic Vitznau cogwheel train, the oldest mountain railway in Europe.Do not underestimate Lucerne, it has an incredible nightlife scene considered second to Zurich, which is Switzerland best. Great places for a drink include the Black Sheep, Roadhouse bar and Penthouse for its large dancefloor and great views of the Lucerne skyline. If you rather prefer something high-class and low-key visit the Grand Casino of Lucerne for a few bets. The casino even has a giant nightclub right next to it.In conclusion, Lucerne is a very cozy town with a ton of fun attractions to easily keep you occupied for a couple of days. If you come during winter, consider adding Mount Titlis to your bucket list if you want some proper skiing or snowboarding. Located in Engelberg, less than an hour train ride from Lucerne. Go watch my complete travel guide on Engelberg. Also, do not forget to purchase the Swiss Travel Railway Pass which will save you a ton of money on transportation for boats, buses, trains, cable cars and 480 museums. Worth every penny!1.

World War 1 in Northern France - Real Life Ballroom Blitz from Battlefield 1 Reformatt Travel Show 2020-08-23 | Battlefield 1 is one of the best video games ever made based on World War 1 with game maps representing real world settings. Enjoy this Battlefield 1 road trip through northern France at Château de Chantilly (Ballroom Blitz), Amiens, St-Quentin, the Somme 1916 Museum and the Museum of the Great War, the best WW1 museum in Europe.Camera used: OSMO Pocket 4K @ 60fpsOne of the best pocket camera's I've ever used, buy yours today:amzn.to/2E7WSjV (just $299 USD, $100 OFF)My BF1 roadtrip map & photos:reformatt.com/battlefield1-roadtripMy friends and I have been avid Battlefield 1 players for the past 3 years and this video is a tribute to a video game that delivered us so much fun. Leave a comment if you support a part 2 at Monte Grappa, Empire's Edge and Argonne Forest.World War 1 was one of the most horrific events in human history, more than 60 million soldiers fought in "the war to end all wars", it ended nothing, yet it changed the world forever. This road trip was one of the most unique experiences in my life, since I learned so much playing the Battlefield 1 video game and to see everything in real life was quite eye-opening. Battlefield 1 is the fifteenth installment in the Battlefield series made by EA DICE, a Swedish game developer, selling over 15 million copies. The best part, the multiplayer battles of 2 opposing teams with a total of 64 simultaneous players fighting over control.I can highly recommend you take this trip, especially now during the pandemic since you can easily do this road trip by yourself while social distancing, allowing you to explore every World War 1 sight.The Somme 1916 Museum even had a horse statue complete with weaponry at the entrance, exactly as portrayed in the Battlefield 1 video game. The highlight of this road trip was Ballroom Blitz (Château de Chantilly) one of the most beautiful castles I've ever seen. Funny fact, this castle was also featured in the James Bond Movie: A View to A Kill (1985), just a 40-minute drive north of Paris.The devastating nature of this terrible conflict was witnessed throughout the war along the Western Front, with huge armies dug into the muddy fields of France and set-piece advances involving hundreds of thousands of men bringing huge loss of life, often for little gain. Today, visitors to the French World War One battlefields can experience recreations in museums, explore the surviving trench works and visit memorials and cemeteries to those who died.It took me hours to find the most resembling street to the Battlefield 1 map of Amiens; Rue de la Dodane near the Quartier Saint-Leu in Amiens. The Notre-Dame cathedral of Amiens was absolutely the highlight in Amiens, kept in pristine condition and luckily survived both world wars without damage. My video is solely based on the Battlefield 1 video game and isn’t meant as a World War 1 history documentation. This is my first 4K video on YouTube and serves as an example of what is yet to come on the Reformatt Show. In addition to this article, also check out the incredible Netflix series: Age of Tanks, which features all the Battlefield 1 tanks and how they were used in the First World War.I consider this road trip a pilgrimage for any Battlefield 1 lover. I played Battlefield 1 with my friends every Friday night for the past 3 years. I am considering organizing a Airbnb Experience, once a year in northern France, this will allow you to join my private organized tour group for 2 days through the Battlefield 1 real life maps. If you are interested, reply to the YouTube video in the comments section.
Paris Nightlife in France: TOP 20 Bars & Clubs Reformatt Travel Show 2020-08-03 | This is my ultimate Paris nightlife guide featuring the Top 20 bars & nightclubs which I carefully selected including places such as Le Comptoir Général, OʼSullivans, Lavomatic, Wallstreet Bar, Belushi, Rooftop Café Oz and the famous Paris Bar Crawl in the Pigalle district. These are the best places to party in Paris. Subscribe to my channel ► go.reformatt.com/nEkxDc for weekly videos!Book Now - Paris Pub Crawl Tickets:go.reformatt.com/A81f2R ($27 USD, 10% discount)Paris is the ideal city to party with unique nightclubs scattered among river barges, nestled in old factories and hidden alleyways. I recommend starting the evening at Le Perchoir de l'est rooftop located on top of train station Gare du l'est than move on to Hôtel National Des Arts et Métiers, considered for having the most breath-taking views of any rooftop in Paris.Download my FREE Paris Nightlife map:reformatt.com/paris-nightlife-guide► 100+ photos, prices, discounts and extra tipsFind the most fun attractions in Paris:go.reformatt.com/97kX1hFind the cheapest hotels in Paris:go.reformatt.com/MA1qdUI've visited Paris multiple times to create this ultimate nightlife guide, with Paris being so massive, choosing your location is very important. I highly recommend St. Christopher's Inn at Gare du Nord train station, here you can sleep, drink, eat and party at Belushi bar all under one roof. The Pigalle district is another fantastic location to stay during your time in Paris.For transportation in Paris, rent yourself a LIME scooter, for just 0.20 euro cents per minute, it is the most fun way to get around town, plus you can enjoy all the beautiful architecture on your way.Great places to visit by LIME scooter include the Sacre-Ceour, Luxembourg Parc, the Eiffel Tower and the Paris canal Saint-Martin leading into Bassin de la Villette, especially on a sunny summer afternoon. With a top speeds of 20km per hour, it allows you to see Paris at your own pace.After visiting Paris' rooftops, checkout the speakeasy bars, my favorites being Lavomatic, LʼÉpicier and Le Comptoir Général, the most incredible atmospheric looking bars in Paris for having an entire pirate boat in the middle of the venue. Than move on for dinner to the Latin Quarter. Rue Mouffetard offers some of the prettiest patios in Paris. My tip; French cuisine at Le Bar de Fer, the coziest street in town. Do try the snails in butter!The most unique bar in Paris is Wallstreet bar, for its live stock ticker randomly rotating alcohol prices every 90 seconds. This place is very popular with the French locals, and a great spot to make new friends.Now some extra tips for the Paris nightlife: arrive early, around 12am at the popular nightclubs, lines grow very long. Dress to impress, avoid the sneakers. Learn some French, bouncers will appreciate your effort.Beware of pickpocketing in Paris, theft is rampant, so make sure to always secure you items and lock your pockets. I was unlucky enough to have my Sony camera stolen at 6am after leaving a nightclub. In conclusion, even after having my camera stolen, I still had a blast in Paris. The best places to visit are definitely the laid-back bars and attend the Paris Bar Crawl at Pigalle. As a side note, English is still not widely spoken in Paris, so if you don't speak a word of French than be sure to join the Paris Bar Crawl which will make socializing in Paris a lot easier.

Subscribe to my channel ► bit.ly/2aeuh9b for new videos!Buy Now - Victoria Peak Tram tickets:go.reformatt.com/5s5pLe ($7 USD, 10% discount)Buy Now - Aqua Luna tickets:go.reformatt.com/sPMW0P ($34 USD, 12% discount)Buy Now - Hong Kong Disneyland tickets:go.reformatt.com/xsJHeE ($75 USD, 5% discount)Hong Kong may appear to be massive when you look at photos of its skyline but trust me it is conveniently packed and can be easily explored within 2 days. I recommend you start Hong Kong at the Victoria Peak which offers amazing views of the Hong Kong island skyline, but avoid paying $7 USD for the Skyterrace, instead take a 15-minute hike on the secret Lugard Road which leads to the best view of Hong Kong.Download my FREE Hong Kong Travel map:reformatt.com/hong-kong-travel-guide► 100+ photos, prices, discounts and extra tipsBuy Now - Hong Kong Octopus Card for public transportation:go.reformatt.com/2Q3zUO ($12 USD, 10% discount)Next Episode: Hong Kong Nightlife Guide - TOP 20 Bars & Clubsyoutube.com/watch?v=2IEnUFqFENgBuy Now - Hong Kong Pub Crawl tickets:go.reformatt.com/esolKw ($13 USD, 10% discount)Great attractions on Hong Kong island are the Yik Cheong building at Quarry Bay, easily reachable by subway and Oddies, Hong Kong style egg-waffles in the Central district.Other typical places to visit are Lan Fong Yuen, for their special Hong Kong tea ($3 USD), filtered to actual stockings, leaving no residue. Also try their buns seared with condensed milk.The most bizarre dish I must have eaten was the wild pigeon at Kwan Yu Roasted Meats in Causeway Bay, an entire roasted pigeon for $6 USD with a cup of extremely strong tea. A meal for champions to say the least.For a more delightful dinner, venture out to Yung Kee Restaurant for their Signature Charcoal Roasted Goose for $35 USD. Crispy goose skin covered juicy goose meat, a true local delicacy.Hong Kong also offers very fun restaurants and great for food photography, especially Yum Cha, for their cute dim sum steamer baskets containing piggy pork buns, pineapple bird cakes in a cage and funky molten custard buns. Make sure to poke a hole for the hot custard to ooze out of its mouth. I even ran into a few Reformatt subscribers from Japan and Hong Kong who were also dining at the same restaurant.Find the most fun attractions in Hong Kong:go.reformatt.com/Fk9MiEFind the cheapest hotels in Hong Kong:go.reformatt.com/alfCJLAnother bizarre restaurant is Hoi Tin Tong where you can try out the local turtle jelly which apparently cures you from a hangover. Although pricey, at $15 USD you may expect a lot, but it is very blend until you pour some honey into the mix. Their best treat is the almond pudding, this was beyond delicious for just $2 USD.The BEST Hong Kong dim sum can be experience at Michelin-star restaurant Tim Ho Wan, for extremely cheap prices, Shumai at $4 USD, Har Gow at $4 USD and BBQ pork buns at $3 USD, basically $1 USD per item. Absolutely ridiculously cheap for Michelin rated food. Arrive before 5pm to avoid any line-ups.In conclusion, I have to say that Hong Kong is one of the coolest cities I've ever been to, but you must remember, Hong Kong is a pure business city, the locals can be very rushed and occupied. Hong Kong never really focused on being a hardcore tourist destination so keep that in mind. This itinerary is ideal for 2 days in Hong Kong, everything is within proximity, so you won't spent too much time travelling around.Support my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here to Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformattThanks for all your support, rating the video and leaving a comment is always appreciated!
Hong Kong Nightlife Guide: TOP 20 Bars & Clubs Reformatt Travel Show 2020-02-19 | This is my Ultimate Hong Kong Nightlife Guide featuring the TOP 20 bars & nightclubs which I carefully selected including places such as Eyebar, HQ, The Ring, The China Bar, Hong Kong Pub Crawl, Zentral and Play, the most epic nightclub in Hong Kong. Subscribe to my channel ► bit.ly/2aeuh9b for weekly videos!Buy Now - Hong Kong Pub Crawl tickets:go.reformatt.com/esolKw ($13 USD, 10% discount)Buy Now - Sky100 Rooftop tickets:go.reformatt.com/Y6g0Y6 ($12 USD, 5% discount)Buy Now - Aqua Luna tickets:go.reformatt.com/sPMW0P ($34 USD, 12% discount)Hong Kong is a magical place, especially for its vibrant nightlife. It surprised me how little is known about all the amazing venues and places to party. Most tourists and travelers stay in the popular LKF (Lan Kwai Fong) nightlife district and not venture out to the other exciting districts in the city like the Knutsford Terrace, which is a big mistake!Download my FREE Hong Kong Nightlife map:http://www.reformatt.com/hong-kong-nightlife-guide► 100+ photos, prices, discounts and extra tipsNext Episode: Hong Kong Guide - TOP 30 Attractionsyoutube.com/watch?v=XT8wAD-AgmEBuy Now - Hong Kong Octopus Card for public transportation:go.reformatt.com/2Q3zUO ($12 USD, 10% discount)To start off, grab a few cocktails at the highest bar in the world located on the 118th floor of the ICC building, currently world's 4th tallest building with stunning views of the Hong Kong skyline. A beer starts at $102 Hong Kong dollars, roughly $13 US dollars, they have a special observatory deck called SKY100. Alternatively, visit Eyebar which offers an outdoor patio with, in my opinion, the best view of Hong Kong. Beers here will set you back $100 HKD, $13 USD.I visited Hong Kong during Halloween, widely known to be the best time of the year! During my stay I ventured out to the Lan Kwai Fong district to join the popular Hong Kong Pub Crawl, they had a massive turn-out resulting in one of the most fun parties I have ever attended. The Hong Kong Pub Crawl is ONLY $12 USD with a 10% discount, includes 3x bars and 1x nightclub (so cover is free), free shots and 50% OFF drinks at the bar because nightclubs and drinks are very expensive. Find the most fun attractions in Hong Kong:go.reformatt.com/Fk9MiEFind the cheapest hotels in Hong Kong:go.reformatt.com/alfCJLThe Hong Kong nightlife has two major districts; LKF (Lan Kwai Fong) in HK-Central with bars Le Jardin Club, Karma Lounge, the Iron Fairies and Wahtiki Lounge. The second district is Knutsford Terrace in Kowloon with excellent bars; The China Bar, Arena by Zerve and my favorite The Ring Bar which is an esports nightclub with Street Fighter, Mario Kart and FIFA soccer you can freely play, the best thing: Edelweiss beer on tap, my favorite beer in the world.LKF known by the locals as 'bad white people place'. To say there is a specific bar that stands out I would be lying. SOHO and LKF districts are packed with incredible bars and nightclubs, all within walking distance. If it is a regular Saturday night, then I highly recommend Play to mingle with the locals, it is an excellent nightclub and not too touristy.The great thing about Hong Kong is almost everyone speaks English!Nightlife in Hong Kong often keeps going until 6am at the earliest. 6am is the perfect time to visit Victoria Peak since everyone will be sleeping, so you can watch the sunrise all by yourself. Taking a taxi to Victoria peak is dirt cheap, Hong Kong taxis are very afforable.Hotels & Airbnb in Hong Kong Central can be very pricey, so if you are on a budget consider staying in the Causeway bay area, or Mong Kok area. Please do avoid staying at the Chungking Mansions guesthouses, rumor has it that the building is very dirty and loaded with cockroaches.In conclusion, the Hong Kong Nightlife was better than I expected, however it did take a few days to get familiar with the nightlife districts to find the best bars & nightclubs.Support my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformattThanks for all your support, rating the video and leaving a comment is always appreciated!

Who would have thought that Portugal had an entire colony for almost 500 years in China. What makes Macau even more authentic is how well preserved the colonial buildings are, given you a real authentic experience of how life must have been like in the past centuries.Download my FREE Macau Travel map:reformatt.com/macau-travel-guide► 100+ photos, prices, discounts and extra tipsNext Episode: Hong Kong Guide - TOP 30 Attractionsyoutube.com/watch?v=XT8wAD-AgmESpecial thanks to my friend Emily for showing me Taipa & Cotaiyoutube.com/channel/UCMfbATUsXLqKhfHfGHLum4QThe easiest way to reach Macau is by TurboJET ferry from Hong Kong for just $171 HK dollars or $22 US dollars for a one-way. Do bring your passport because you will have to go through immigration! Once in Macau jump into a taxi towards your hotel or Airbnb ($47 USD OFF) but keep in mind that most taxi's in Macau do not have seat-belts.Find the most fun attractions in Macau:go.reformatt.com/HHcZ7BFind the cheapest hotels in Macau:go.reformatt.com/ftcST7Macau is a great place for new and unique selfies, my favorite place being this incredible shot taken from R. Nova a Guia street. It took me almost an hour to find this secret site for that magical selfie. It is a perfect blend of new and old, like a giant spaceship just crash landed into a tiny Portoguese village.Macau does offer an incredible fusion cuisine of Chinese and Portuguese called Macanese! With popular dishes like African chicken, Pork chop buns, Pork Jerky, Portuguese egg tarts (Pastel de Nata and plenty of desserts including durian ice cream and steam milk pudding from Yee Shun Milk.The most popular tourist attractions in Macau include the Ruins of St. Paul's of which only the front facade is still standing after 3x major fires and Senado Square for its beautiful Portuguese-style cobble stone roads. Do not miss visiting other gems like Monte Fort, Museum of Macau and the villages of Taipa and Coloane for an authentic Portuguese colonial experience.Macau's nightlife may be small but does have a few fantastic places for a night out, I recommend to start off the night at SKY 21, a gorgeous rooftop lounge on top of the AIA tower overlooking the Grand Lisboa and Macau Tower, they often have a live DJ, ping-pong and shisha's for a fun evening and is open until 4am.My favorite experience in Macau was the Macau Bungee, World's highest urban bungee jump at 233 meters or 764 feet with a 6 or 7 second free-fall with a speed of 120km/h, click here for my full Macau Bungee experience. The bungee jump is pricey, roughly $400 US dollars, they also offer a Sky Jump, Sky Walk and Tower Climb for the true thrillseekers.In conclusion, Macau truly surprised me, especially after staying here for 6 days. Most tourists make a day trip from Hong Kong but that is simply too short to do this nation justice. I recommend visiting Macau for 2 days and 2 nights to truly take in this unique former Portuguese colony and all its beauty.Support my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformattThanks for all your support, rating the video and leaving a comment is always appreciated!

It tasted like burned shrimp but even more tasteless, the best thing this street vendor had to offer were grilled snake and mealworms but make sure to chase it with a cold tasty beer.Besides eating tarantulas, we could choose lots of other bizarre items ranging from frogs, cockroaches and scorpions to entire geckos. Shinsekai is a must-see district in Osaka, if not for its for food, definitely for its unique atmosphere and beautiful store decorations.The most mysterious place on this tour is Osaka's red light district known as Tobita Shinchi where you can witness beautiful Japanese girls trying to lure Japanese businessmen into their little shop. The district consists out of 3 major streets, first street houses girls in their 20's, second street women in their 30's and third street 40's and up. Another interesting area the tour visits is Kamagasaki where the homeless population of Osaka hangs out. It is quite eye-opening to see the state of housing in these ghettos, a site usual tourists will never see of Japan. This entire district goes by the name: Nishinari, primarily run by the Yakuza, Japan's maffia organization.To get to Osaka from Tokyo, I highly recommend you purchase the Unlimited Japan Rail Pass which let's you travel Japan for either 7, 14 or 21 days on the Shinkansen bullet trains which run at 320 km/hr.While you are in Osaka make sure to also checkout the famous Dotonbori district and all its other attractions, for that watch my complete 30 Secrets & Things To Do in Osaka video.If you still have enery after the incredible Backstreet Osaka Tour, continue your nightlife adventure at the Osaka Pub Crawl on Friday and Saturday. You will visit the best bars & nightclubs in Shinsaibashi which covers 3 bars and 1 epic nightclub twice per week. Including places such as DOMUS, LIFE and Sam & Dave.

Eating Insects in Japan l Mr. Kanso Reformatt Travel Show 2019-07-04 | Eating insects is becoming more popular around the world but I would never expect eating grasshoppers from a tinned can in Japan. Mr. Kanso is one of the most unique restaurants in Osaka. A tiny food bar serving 300 different kinds of canned foods from all over the world ranging from canned BBQ eel to canned sea urchin to canned stewed grasshoppers. Subscribe to my channel ► bit.ly/2aeuh9b for weekly videos!The bar is cheaper than your common restaurant due to not having a kitchen, no chef, no menu's and no waiter but due to the rareness of certain cans prices can vary quite a bit.We selected the following 5 canned foods for our Mr. Kanso ultimate review; Unagi (BBQ eel), Toritama (chicken meat + chicken egg), Dashimakitamago (sushi egg roll), Buta (heated stewed pork) and Inago (stewed grasshoppers).My photos are on my blog:reformatt.com/eating-grasshoppers-mr-kansoMy friends Yuri and Momo from Osaka joined me on this crazy canned food adventure, it was their first time at Mr. Kanso as well. Remarkably, they had never heard of this place before making it a hidden secret in Osaka every tourist should check out.The grasshoppers turned out to be more delicious than initially anticipated. Due to still being quite crunchy, it had a nice sweet flavor and taste more like chips than the remnants of a nasty insect.In conclusion, my favorite canned food was the unagi, BBQ eel but the dashimakitamago (cold sushi egg roll) came very close. It makes sense since the dashimakitamago is their best-selling item. I want to thank my friends Momo and Yuri for joining me on this food adventure, it was a lot of fun. Please let me know if you would like to see Momo and Yuri again in a future Reformatt episode.Support my channel and become a subscriber!Previous Episode:youtube.com/watch?v=klkT4wqDMJECOMPLETE PLAYLIST JAPAN 2019youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzrClick Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattTwitter ► twitter.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformatt

10 Free Things to do in Tokyo, Japan | 100% FREE Reformatt Travel Show 2019-05-28 | Are you are traveling on a budget to Japan? You are in luck! These are my 10 FREE Things to do in Tokyo from hidden gems to cool activities and above all everything is FREE, the only thing required is a subway pass including Hinokicho Park, National Diet of Japan, Hie Shrine, Magnet Shibuya Observatory, Nakameguro Awaodori, Nakano Broadway, Suginami Anime Museum, Parasite Museum. Subscribe to my channel ► bit.ly/2aeuh9b for weekly videos!Download my FREE map of FREE attractions in Tokyo:reformatt.com/10-free-things-to-do-tokyo-japan30% OFF Pocket Wifi station, always stay connected for just $6 USD in Japanhttp://bit.ly/2YV31ojI've been to Tokyo 6 times and always had a bucket list of items I never ended up visiting due to time constrains so I decide to make a special list for these special attractions which are FREE to visit in Tokyo.Start in the heart of Roppongi at Hinokicho park, a small cozy park hidden behind the skyscrapers of Tokyo for a little walk than take the subway one stop over to the National Diet of Japan, one of the most impressive buildings of Tokyo built in 1920 and took 16 years to complete. The National Diet houses the parliament of Japan including the house of representatives and the house of councilors. A few blocks from the National Diet you'll find the Hie Shrine which has an amazing red torii gate tunnel in the back which is often overlooked by tourists. This place is especially perfect if you are not able to make it to Kyoto but still want to make a selfie in a red torii gate tunnel.A cozy place for drinks is Magnet in Shibuya, if you do not have a budget for beers you can still visit the FREE observatory deck on the rooftop for an epic view of the Shibuya crossing, the busiest intersection of the world. After spending time in Shibuya I recommend checking out the VR zone in Shinjuku for the most epic VR arcade games ranging from Evangelion VR to Mario Kart VR to Dragonball Z VR. Another great FREE place for epic selfies is the mirror entrance of the Tokyu Plaza on the Omotesando street in Harajuku.Due to the massive influx of tourists into Tokyo prices have been skyrocketing for attractions thus I believe having a FREE Things to do Travel Guide for Tokyo is very important for the budget travelers among us.Also keep in mind that you can honor your budget by not eating at fancy restaurants but buying your lunches and dinners at convenience stores 711, Lawson and FamilyMart which can be found on almost every street corner and are open 24/7. Additionally, for other budget items visit Donki Hote, considered the Walmart of Japan for insanely cheap household items.Support my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattTwitter ► twitter.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformatt

Two other major items you have to buy at the Tsukiji outer market are the Japanese custard mochi ball which is a sticky rice ball treat and the bizarre sea urchin bamboo-charcoal bun (uniman) from Hamada Shoten.It was a total coincidence running into famous YouTube star John Daub from the show ONLY in Japan.

21 Things do to in Hakone, Japan Reformatt Travel Show 2019-04-30 | These are my carefully selected 21 tips and things to do in Hakone, including gems like Ninja Cafe Fuma, Ryokan Senkei, Eating Black Eggs, cruising on a Pirate Boat, Joro Spiders and dipping into a wine and coffee spa at Yunessun water park. This is my ultimate Hakone Travel Guide to kick off your Hakone adventure on a high note!

A visit to Hakone should be paired with a stay at a luxurious ryokan and a visit to the bizarre Yunessun water park. I highly recommend staying at least 2 days and 2 nights in the Hakone region which makes the purchase of the Hakone Freepass the more logical.Staying in Hakone for 2 days will allow you to see every attraction on the Hakone circle tour. The circle tour starts at Yumoto-Hakone main station and takes you into the mountains through the Owakudani crater and by ropeway back to Lake Ashi at which you jump on a pirate boat which transports you to the other side of the lake from which you take a bus to the Yumoto-Hakone main station again. A magical journey indeed!During my first night I stayed at budget ryokan, Gaku Guesthouse which was conveniently located next to Gora station. In Gora you will find the Ninja Cafe Fuma where you can throw real ninja stars aka shiruken and feast on local ninja fried snacks.In Gora you will also find the Yunessun water park which has a wine, coffee, green tea and sake spa including a massive outdoor pool area but also attractions like the Hakone Open-Air museum (Japan's first).After one night in Gora jump on the cable car and ropeway towards Owakudani where you can try out the unique black eggs which has gotten their color from being boiled into the volcano hot springs and Sulphur. On a clear day you are able to walk around this mesmerizing valley. Owakudani literally means Giant Boiling Valley.Once you ate your black eggs continue on the ropeway towards Lake Ashi from where you jump on a pirate boat and cruise Lake Ashi while you enjoy beautiful views of Mount Fuji and the Hakone Shrine.At the pirate boat dock, you can either visit the Hakone Shrine or jump on a bus back to Yumoto-Hakone station where you should spend your second night in a luxurious ryokan including a traditional Japanese kaiseki dinner and sleep in Japanese futons all presented by a Nakai, a Japanese house maid. On the third day before departing Hakone jump into an onsen, Japanese hot spring to conclude this magical experience in the Hakone region.My favorite part of this trip was the Yunessun water park, dipping in a wine and coffee spa was such a memorable experience that it wasn't too uncommon seeing literally everyone taking selfies. Make sure to watch my complete YouTube episode on the Yunessun water park.In conclusion, had I known about the Hakone freepass prior I would have saved myself a lot of money but due to the lack of research on my part I missed out on this great opportunity. Get your own Hakone Freepass with free access to buses, ropeways, cable cars, trains and boats plus a round trip from Tokyo to Hakone.

$50 Vs. $500 Ryokan Hotel in Hakone, Japan | Kaiseki Dinner & Onsen Experience Reformatt Travel Show 2019-04-23 | Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a $50 Ryokan and a $500 Ryokan experience in Hakone, Japan? The difference is quite significant ranging from amenities like a private onsen, your own nakai (Japanese maid), a Japanese kaiseki lunch & dinner and even a private pickup and drop off van.

A ryokan is a type of traditional Japanese inn that typically feature tatami-matted rooms, communal baths, and other public areas where visitors may wear yukata and talk with the owner.Photos of my experience:reformatt.com/50-dollar-ryokan-vs-500-dollar-ryokan-hakone It had been my dream for over a decade to stay at a traditional Japanese ryokan in Hakone. So, I was extremely pumped to jump into my traditional Japanese robe the minute I walked into the agari-kamachi (or entrance room). The ryokan did include being served by a nakai, a Japanese house maid who serves you green tea, dinner, breakfast and makes the futons ready for sleeping (Japanese sleeping quilts)The best thing about staying at a luxurious ryokan is the kaiseki dinner which is a traditional Japanese multi-course dinner with a wide variety of Japanese dishes consisting primarily out of vegetables with fish and meat all served on tiny dishes and in bit sizes. During the kaiseki dinner you sit on zaisu which are legless chairs which can be uncomfortable to sit on for non-Japanese people.The luxurious ryokan did include a fancy onsen (Japanese hot spring) on the rooftop which is one of the most relaxing experiences you can have in Japan.To do a proper comparison I stayed a cheap $50 hotel as well. Gaku Guesthouse offers a Japanese style room with sleeping futons, clean amenities including a laundry machine and a fancy Japanese bidet toilet but also a brand-new billiards table in the garage. Gaku Guesthouse is a great place to meet other travelers as well.I was surprised how quiet it was in the Japanese mountains compared to the inner city of Tokyo.Make sure to stay at least 1 night at a luxurious ryokan in Hakone to complete your journey to Japan. You'll have incredible stories to share with your friends and family.My complete Japan 2019 episodes playlist!youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzrSupport my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattTwitter ► twitter.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformatt
Japanese Wine Spa in Hakone, Japan Reformatt Travel Show 2019-04-16 | Yunessun Water Park in Hakone is one of the most bizarre water parks I've ever visited with areas ranging from a wine spa, coffee spa to a green tea spa and a Japanese sake spa. Apparently, it contains antioxidants to prevent premature aging and skin problems. Subscribe to my channel ► bit.ly/2aeuh9b for weekly videos!I arrived around 5pm and noticed that most people already went home so I had the entire water park to myself. Starting at the famous wine spa, after seeing so many photos on the internet I had to try it for myself. It is basically a regular pool with diluted wine, special wine events do take place 3x times per day during which they hand out wine tasting samples and throw a bucket of red wine over you.Besides wine you can also enjoy the coffee spa, sake (Japanese rice wine) spa and green tea spa. The jacuzzi area often has special themes ranging from ramen broth to a local green tea this time around. My favorite was the coffee spa but sadly I did not find any coffee cream nor milk.45% discount for the Wine Spa on my blog:reformatt.com/wine-coffee-spa-yunessun-hakone-japanThe Yunessun water park is quite popular with people from the Tokyo and Kanagawa prefectures. The Japanese girls I ran into at the wine spa were from Yokohama and very kind. I also noticed that everyone was on their cell phones taking photos and selfies. It's a true tourist attraction.They even have a gigantic outdoor water park with slides, waterfalls and indoor caves. The slides are really soft, making for a smooth slide down since they curve quite a lot in all directions. The last area worth mentioning is Dr. Fish, which are tiny fish cleaning the dead skin of your feet. In conclusion, Yunessun Water Park is a bucket list item NOT to be missed in the Hakone region. I would definitely combine it with staying at a Ryokan, the Pirate Boat and Owakudani Black Eggs at minimum. Hakone should be a 2-day visit for any tourist new to Japan.Watch my new Travel Series: Japan 2019 episodes!Episode 1: Eating Live Squidyoutube.com/watch?v=lPAuFgvCoa0&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=1Episode 2: REAL Mario Kart in Tokyo: 10 Tipsyoutube.com/watch?v=44vS1XSd_4w&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=2Episode 3: Universal Studio Japan - Complete Guideyoutube.com/watch?v=5YTU5LaDcJs&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=3Episode 4: Hedgehog Cafe in Tokyo: 1KG Hedgehogyoutube.com/watch?v=XXuloTEJ-dM&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=4Episode 5: Eating Toxic Blowfish in Tokyoyoutube.com/watch?v=maY0f9nRTS0&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=5Episode 6: Hollow Point Gun Bar in Tokyoyoutube.com/watch?v=WDXV6giv8NM&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=6Episode 7: Otter Cafe in Tokyoyoutube.com/watch?v=bvg-KA7cU58&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=7Episode 8: Vampire Cafe in Tokyoyoutube.com/watch?v=1rlGbmqvpOo&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=8Episode 9: Tokyo Nightlife - Japanese ParaPara Dancingyoutube.com/watch?v=2v-T0WaZYZg&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=9Episode 10: Why is the Tokyo Nightlife special?youtube.com/watch?v=PKw9WFrMd8k&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=10Episode 11: Tokyo's Budget District - Nakano TOP 10youtube.com/watch?v=Qexpt3QGOJM&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=11Episode 12: Anime Museum in Tokyoyoutube.com/watch?v=SkZME0w57QU&list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzr&index=12COMPLETE PLAYLIST JAPAN 2019youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfJZc_xR85ssiLuFX0-dEGMFvuSMPgOzrSupport my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattTwitter ► twitter.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformatt
10 Things to do in Nakano: Tokyos Cheap Budget District Reformatt Travel Show 2019-04-02 | These are my carefully selected 10 top things to do in Nakano, the secret budget district of Tokyo. I included gems like Koala March pastries, Daily Chico, Namco Arcade, Horumon Yakiniku and where to get a FREE Gyoza dinner to complete an epic afternoon in Tokyo. Subscribe to my channel ► bit.ly/2aeuh9b for weekly videos!Tokyo is overrun by tourism, luckily for you there is an alternative nobody is talking about yet. The Nakano district is just 5 minutes west by train from Shinjuku and a hidden gem in Tokyo. Nakano is famous for being the oldskool Anime, Manga & Gaming mecca compared to the hugely popular Akihabara electronic town district plus is it extremely cozy and welcoming compared to obvious tourist hot spots of Tokyo.Download my FREE map of Nakano: reformatt.com/10-things-to-do-nakano-tokyoNakano is especially great to visit during a rainy day in Tokyo since Nakano's primary shopping street and the Nakano Broadway complex, which houses 250 stores, are all indoor. Nakano Broadway includes super fun places, super cheap Japanese snack shops, plenty of arcades and comic book stores to keep you entertained throughout the day. Whoever says Tokyo is expensive is an amateur traveler and is just doing it wrong. Most travelers go to Shinjuku, Shibuya & Ginza which are quite expense. Together with my friends Heather, Kelly and Bobby we enjoyed an incredibly cheap evening food adventures in Nakano.Start your adventure in Nakano by walking through the Sun Mall shopping street until you end up at the Nakano Broadway complex where you can browse through at least 30 Mandarake store. Mandarake is THE pre-owned comic book dealer of Tokyo since 1987. Every Mandarake store has a different theme. For the most unique Mandarake store head to the 3rd floor where you can enter a special shrine that sells vintage tin toys.The best part of the Nakano Broadway complex is the basement. Here you'll find gigantic cheap grocery stores with incredible products ranging from household items to dirt cheap fish and delicious sushi pre-made meals. Near the back of the basement you'll find the Daily Chico soft-serve ice cream store that sell this ridiculous 8 flavors, 40-centimeter-tall soft-serve ice cream cone which makes for hilarious selfies and sells for 480 YEN, $4 USD!In the evening I recommend you explore the extreme cozy back alleys on the east side of the Sun Mall shopping street. This area houses plenty of sake bars, karaoke shops and izakaya’s (Japanese drinking spots) but above all wagyu beef and steak houses. Wagyu is expensive fat marbled beef that will melt on the tip of your tongue. After some digging I found that Horumon Yakiniku offers the best bang for your buck. Their wagyu beef was mouth-watering delicious.Another place to visit is Terrie's Dog Cafe. Entrance is FREE but does require you purchase a plain tea or coffee with rates starting at only 300 YEN, $2.80 USD. Terrie's Dog Cafe is a shelter for rescue dogs so please do the right thing and support these poor little cuties.My favorite part of Nakano is the atmosphere, it is cozy, friendly and fun, especially on a rainy day. With the massive amounts of indoor shops there is something to do for everyone. Do not hesitate and make the 5-minute train journey just west of Shinjuku main station.In conclusion, Nakano is the definition of a cheap day in Tokyo. Especially for travelers on a serious budget. Do not pay tourist prices in the obvious tourist districts of Tokyo. Head out of the tourist comfort zone and explore the lesser known areas. You won't be disappointed!

It was also Lolita's birthday thus the Japanese do as they always do and go all out with a stacked pyramid of champagne glasses and a cake.The best time to be in Japan is definitely during the Halloween season since you will be able to find incredible and fun Halloween events all over the metropolis, even this ParaPara halloween event at Maharaja nightclub where lots of attention to detail is spent on costume design.Sadly, the restaurant Michi in Itabashi, where the delicious photos below are from, does not exist anymore but plenty of other restaurants with similar dishes can be found in and around Tokyo.Make sure to watch the entire GoGo Girls playlist of the live performance at Maharaja on my Reformatt Japan YouTube channel.In conclusion, the Maharaja ParaPara nights are usually the biggest event I look forward to each time I visit Japan. The people, the atmosphere and the music are all the right ingredients to keep me wanting more.Make sure to watch the entire GoGo Girls playlist of the live performance at Maharaja on my Reformatt Japan YouTube channel.In conclusion, the Maharaja ParaPara nights are usually the biggest event I look forward to each time I visit Japan.

The dishes we ordered:- Blowfish Sake- Blowfish Salad- Blowfish Sashimi- Blowfish CookedThere are over 120 different species of Fugu and they contain Tetrodotoxin or TTX for short which is a 1000x times more poisonous than cyanide which was used in suicide pills during world war II strong enough to kill an adult human within a few seconds.TTX is a neurotoxin which means it damages the nervous system and is found in the Fugu's liver, kidneys, eyes, spikes and ovaries. If poisoned, the victim will experience a paralysis of face muscles, followed by nausea and unable to speak until you are completely paralyzed. Death occurs shortly after.Only chefs who have trained for at least three years can prepare it legally since they have to remove the poisonous organs of the fish. Sadly, many people have still been poisoned and some have even died between 1996 and 2006, 44 Fugu poisoning incidents were recorded in japan but don't let that discourage you, just pick a well recognized restaurant and you'll be fine.Support my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattTwitter ► twitter.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformatt

It felt like I was riding a broomstick chasing Harry Potter through all his adventures. This ride can have lines up to 3 hours thus I highly recommend you purchase the Express Pass from Voyagin.Top it off with a warm or cold Butterbeer and taste the creamy butterscotch shortbread to end this magical adventure.Now the 10th area has not been completed yet, the highly anticipated Super Nintendo World will be opened in 2020, I cannot wait to check it out!The best part of USJ has to be the Halloween Horror Nights every evening from early September to early November including scary zombie walks with themes ranging from clown zombies, toxic zombies, pirates zombies, tribal zombies, cute zombies, mutant zombies, punk zombies, prisoner zombies! You'll find yourself fending off hordes of zombies.An entrance ticket to the park starts at 7400 yen but prices do vary from day to day but I highly recommend you buy the express pass online to avoid long waiting lines.Also, try to visit during the low season, around January and February and my final tip; arrive 1 hour before opening to get the most out of your day at USJ but go on a weekday since weekends are insanely crowded.Support my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattTwitter ► twitter.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformatt#osaka #usj

Eating Live Squid in Tokyo, Japan Reformatt Travel Show 2018-12-25 | Looking for a unique restaurant in Tokyo? than the IKA center in Shinjuku is your spot and is one of my hidden secrets in Tokyo because at this restaurant you can catch your own squid. Subscribe to my channel ► bit.ly/2aeuh9b for weekly videos!Photos and extra tips on my blog: reformatt.com/eating-live-squid-tokyoThe IKA Center [イカセンター] is located on the 4th floor across the massive Shinjuku station.There is no English menu which could be the reason why this place isn't as widely known. Squid fishing starts at 3400 yen, roughly 30 US dollars per catch. Our dinner included an entire squid, a big tempura portion and drinks which came to 9400 yen, about 82 US dollars for 3 people.The red water in the squid tank reminded me of the famous ocean of blood scene from the Japanese anime; Evangelion.Squids have jets to propel themselves and use it to squirt ink and the last thing you want is getting squid ink all over your clothes, that's why we jumped into a bunch of raincoats.Catching your own squid isn't that hard, you simply hook it straight out of the tank. Next, the squid is brought to the kitchen and freshly cut up into sashimi.They sealed off the dining area with a plastic cover to prevent water being squirted around the restaurant by the squids.Immediately after preparation, the raw squid tentacles are served, so fresh the squid tentacles are still moving on your plate.Once we received the fully sliced head we had to dip it in a thick sauce made from ground up squid organs.In conclusion, the IKA Center in Tokyo is a very unique restaurant worth a visit, especially for the eccentrics among us!Please help out the Reformatt Show by sharing this video on your Twitter, Whatsapp and Facebook!

21 Things to do in Kaohsiung, Taiwan Reformatt Travel Show 2018-09-04 | These are my carefully selected 21 best things to do in Kaohsiung, the most underrated city in Asia. I included gems like Cijin Boulevard, Old Taiwan Restaurant, 85 Sky Tower, the ICE BOWL, chocolate chicken at Ruifeng Night Market and the Brickyard for the best nightlife of Kaohsiung. Subscribe to my channel ► bit.ly/2aeuh9b for weekly videos!I had no expectations before driving down to Kaohsiung. This massive city on the southern tip of Taiwan is a tropical paradise with tons of fun things to do, delicious foods to eat and mingle with its friendly locals. After you watch my video I guarantee you will put Kaohsiung on your bucket list.Kaohsiung is best known for the Dragon & Tiger pagodas located at the Lotus pond north of downtown, the most facinating thing is the zigzag pathway which is meant to deflect evil. Do make sure to enter through the dragon's mouth first and exit through the tiger's mouth to obtain good fortune. Afterwards, treat yourself to a massive shaved ice dessert at the Ice Bowl located at Binhua 1st Road.Download my FREE Kaohsiung map:reformatt.com/21-things-to-do-kaohsiung-taiwan► 100+ photos, prices, discounts and extra tipsKick off the next day with a typical southern Taiwanese breakfast at Dandan Hamburger, famous for it delicious soup burger combo. I stayed at the massive 85 Sky Tower hotel on the 61st floor with mesmerizing views of Kaohsiung.Cijin Island is located in front of Kaohsiung harbor, the largest harbor of Taiwan at which you can rent an electric buggy and cruise along its beautiful boulevard while making selfie stops at the Rainbow Church, giant sea shell and end your adventure with a lunch at the Windmill Station Sushi Restaurant.At the Windmill Station Restaurant make sure to order the gigantic chirashi bowl of assorted fish with high-grade uni, unagi and tuna. Make sure to top it off with Kaohsiung waffles! On the way back to the Cijin Ferry, make stops at the Cijin dried fish market, Cihou fort for the best skyline view of Kaohsiung and Mazu shrine.During the evening take the subway to Formosa Boulevard Station to admire world's largest glass art installation consisting of 4500 glass panels.For night markets check out Ruifeng Night Market located just north of downtown Kaohsiung where you must try the Gua Bao with juicy pork belly, chicken on a stick stuffed with sticky rice and bizarre chocolate chicken for the ultimate night market experience.To really venture out, go to OLD TAIWAN restaurant which is a themed 1950's Taiwanese restaurant with incredibly local dishes. The dishes truly tasted like they were cooked with love by grandma Taiwan, a great delicious alternative to night markets.Kaohsiung has a fun and vibrant nightlife, for an epic night out check out bars; Black Dog, an expat bar and Brickyard for their underground dance off parties, foosball tables, pool tables and great local atmosphere. The best nightclubs in town are Muse Kaohsiung and LAMP Disco which often hosts all-you-can-drink parties with a young local crowd. Not much English is spoken at these nightclubs so be aware.In conclusion, Kaohsiung made it to my Top 5 list of favorite cities in Asia. Most likely due to not having any expectations and being blown away by the tropical climate, delicious local dishes, friendly locals and fantastic parties.

15 Secrets & Things to do in Tainan, Taiwan Reformatt Travel Show 2018-08-28 | This is my ultimate travel guide for Tainan, Taiwan including 15 best things to do and best places to visit which I carefully selected, like Fort Zeelandia, Du Xiao Yue for its epic Dandan noodles, Chun Sui Tang - the inventor of bubble tea, mega gachapon machine and the eating bizarre chicken butts. Subscribe to my channel ► bit.ly/2aeuh9b for weekly videos!Download my FREE Tainan Guidereformatt.com/tainan-travel-guide(including maps, photos and secret tips)Sadly, #Tainan is not popular with foreign tourists even though it is the oldest city in #Taiwan. Tainan became a top priority on my bucket list for the simple reason that it was found by the Dutch in 1624. The city is home to Dutch VOC fortresses Zeelandia and Provintia which were massive fortifications for its time. I visited Tainan to find the remnants of my ancestors since I am Dutch myself.Tainan is known by the Taiwanese as the food mecca of the country due to its many locally grown produce, from epic mango shaved ice desserts to Chun Sui Tang - the original restaurant where bubble tea was invented but also its delicious beef noodle bowls called dandan noodles at Du Xiao Yue.My first stop was the Dutch Fort Provintia where the Dutch VOC's (Dutch East India Company) administrative heart of Taiwan was located. I was blown away to learn that the foundation of all these Dutch forts was made with a mortar recipe containing crushed oyster shells, sugar and sticky rice since cement was hard to come by on the island.In the evening I went for dinner on the ancient Shennon street which is gorgeous during the evening for its small historic shops and cozy atmosphere. At a local street restaurant I went all out and tried their bizarre local delicacy; grilled chicken butts. One place where you should definitely eat is Du Xiao Yue, the oldest noodle shop in Taiwan founded in 1895 and order the Dandan noodles! Alternatively, try their milk fish, rice eel and incredible fried shrimp rolls. Let's not forget about the delicious beef soup and beef tongue and Win Chang restaurant..The highlight of my visit was Fort Zeelandia, a massive Dutch VOC fortress on the Anping peninsula which the Dutch held onto until 1662 when the Ming Dynasty sent Koxinga to take over Formosa (Taiwan's original name) and banish the Dutch. Fort Zeelandia showcases a huge collection of Dutch artifacts from that time period. If you want even more Dutch history, check out the Merchant House for many ancient Dutch maps and VOC ship scale models, additionally visit the incredible treehouse, a warehouse completely engulfed by nature.My favorite object was the scale model of Fort Zeelandia, the sheer size was absolutely mindboggling. The Dutch were besieged by Koxinga for 9 months which left them with no other option than to surrender after which Taiwan became Chinese territory and the Dutch retreated back to Batavia in Indonesia, nowadays known as Jakarta.Tainan doesn't really have a big nightlife, for good parties you'll have to go to either Taipei or Kaohsiung but luckily Tainan has one major nightclub called MUSE Tainan where I had a great time drinking and socializing with the locals. For just 700 NT ($25 USD) it was an all-you-can-drink party. It was a crazy experience seeing not many people at the bar even with it being an all-you-can-drink event, I guess the Taiwanese know their limits very well.In conclusion, I had a fantastic time in Tainan and I will consider visiting Tainan in the near future to see what other great places this magical city has to offer so I can create another #TravelGuide for you guys!Watch my episodes from Taiwan!Episode 1: My Free Flight to Taiwan youtube.com/watch?v=ZYLHg_ytDlAEpisode 2: Beautiful Mountain Village Jiufenyoutube.com/watch?v=sD72M6q4eF0Episode 3: Drinking Snake Venomyoutube.com/watch?v=0O_ytJ_tloAEpisode 4: Bizarre Toilet Restaurantyoutube.com/watch?v=62gtBbS5bXwEpisode 5: Eating Entire Duckyoutube.com/watch?v=nSxQtPDa6YoEpisode 6: Taipei 101 (Icon of Taiwan)youtube.com/watch?v=fJJjbqRjZtMEpisode 7: Taiwan Street Food at Taipei Night Markets youtube.com/watch?v=07a-wXGQCaAEpisode 8: Ultimate Taipei Travel Guide youtube.com/watch?v=TzgjNvxyutMEpisode 9: Taipei Nightlife (Best Bars & Nightclubs)youtube.com/watch?v=YvA0pevF6boEpisode 10: Tainan Travel Guideyoutube.com/watch?v=05Z7Dqu1DNcEpisode 11: Kaohsiung Travel Guideyoutube.com/watch?v=K61_NtR9QEMSupport my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattTwitter ► twitter.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformatt

I recommend you start your evening with a few drinks, a game of jenga at ONTAP, a laid back pub where you can meet many expats and English speaking Taiwanese locals. Another great bar is FRANK Taipei on top of the ATT4Fun party building with mesmerizing views of Taipei 101.Download my FREE Taipei Nightlife map:http://www.reformatt.com/taipei-nightlife-guide► 100+ photos, prices, discounts and extra tipsATT4Fun is the main location for most nightclubs and bars right across the Taipei 101 tower, so make sure to book yourself an AirBnB nearby if you do not like to move around a lot.Make sure to purchase yourself a SIM card as well at the airport to stay connected at all times!Buy Now - Taiwan 4G SIM Card:go.reformatt.com/b1b09p ($9 USD, 5% discount)One of the coolest events are all-you-can-drink parties at many nightclubs like Babe18, here you pay a fixed fee at the door, often around $25 USD and you'll be able to refill your cup until 4am closing time. Also, the music at many nightclubs is fantastic, lots of EDM and house DJ's.Another great lounge is 1001 Nights where you can enjoy odd flavoured shishas and laid back atmosphere. I ordered the bizarre Banana-Gum flavour which was highly enjoyable. Make sure to check their events listings on their Facebook page.Find the most fun attractions in Taipei:go.reformatt.com/9s7yEiFind the cheapest hotels in Taipei:go.reformatt.com/Ve7PAQOMNI is the largest nightclub in Taipei with a massive dancefloor, solid EDM and an incredible light system, OMNI is open until 4:30am and a great place to meet the locals. OMNI has a young crowd, bottle service, although the entrance can be expensive, this place is worth every penny.Another great nightclub for halloween is Elektro, one of the most popular nightclubs at ATT4Fun. As you can tell from my photos, I visited Taipei during the halloween weekend. This is a compilation of my 2 trips to Taiwan, end of September and end of October. VIBE and PONG are special nightclubs where you can play digital beer pong with friends, a date or the locals. It is a great way to socialize and interact, just download the App on your phone and have a fun beer pong match off in the middle of the nightclub.KOR Taipei is located right next to OMNI, Kor is a great club if you are NOT into EDM. At KOR you can enjoy hiphop, R&B and rap music. Sadly, there isn't a dance floor but definitely a great place to socialize.End your night in Taipei at Haidilao, a highend Chinese hot pot restaurant open until 4am, my Taiwanese friends took me here to experience delicious Chinese dishes, my favorite being the water lotus stems, I recommend going easy on the spicy level, it could be a painful aftermath. Alternatively, karaoke it up at Partyworld located right next to OMNI nightclub to continue your nightlife adventure and show off your singing skills in a large private karaoke room.Watch all my episodes from Taiwan!Episode 1: My first experience of Taiwan youtube.com/watch?v=ZYLHg_ytDlAEpisode 2: Beautiful Mountain Village Jiufenyoutube.com/watch?v=sD72M6q4eF0Episode 3: Drinking Snake Venomyoutube.com/watch?v=0O_ytJ_tloAEpisode 4: Bizarre Toilet Restaurantyoutube.com/watch?v=62gtBbS5bXwEpisode 5: Eating Entire Duckyoutube.com/watch?v=nSxQtPDa6YoEpisode 6: Taipei 101 (Icon of Taiwan)youtube.com/watch?v=fJJjbqRjZtMEpisode 7: Taiwan Street Food at Taipei Night Markets youtube.com/watch?v=07a-wXGQCaAEpisode 8: Ultimate Taipei Travel Guide youtube.com/watch?v=TzgjNvxyutMEpisode 9: Taipei Nightlife (Best Bars & Nightclubs)youtube.com/watch?v=YvA0pevF6boEpisode 10: Tainan Travel Guideyoutube.com/watch?v=05Z7Dqu1DNcEpisode 11: Kaohsiung Travel Guideyoutube.com/watch?v=K61_NtR9QEMSupport my channel and become a subscriber!Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://reformatt.com/subscribeFacebook ► http://facebook.com/reformattTwitter ► twitter.com/reformattInstagram ► instagram.com/reformattThanks for all your support, rating the video and leaving a comment is always appreciated!

Deadly? Drinking Snake Venom in Taiwan Reformatt Travel Show 2018-05-08 | Is drinking snake venom deadly? Let's find out at the snake restaurant at the Huaxi night market in #Taipei, Taiwan. #Huaxi is loaded with the craziest street food you will ever encounter.

Well, this snake venom is non lethal, drinking snake wine is essentially harmless since snake venom is made up of proteins, these proteins are unfolded and made inactive by the alcohol.There have been reports of people experiencing a temporary low level of paralysis but it made me slightly dizzy like I was briefly on heavy chemicals but that could also have been the adrenaline boost.Watch my episodes from Taiwan!Episode 1: My Free Flight to Taiwan youtube.com/watch?v=ZYLHg_ytDlAEpisode 2: Beautiful Mountain Village Jiufenyoutube.com/watch?v=sD72M6q4eF0Episode 3: Drinking Snake Venomyoutube.com/watch?v=0O_ytJ_tloAEpisode 4: Bizarre Toilet Restaurantyoutube.com/watch?v=62gtBbS5bXwEpisode 5: Eating Entire Duckyoutube.com/watch?v=nSxQtPDa6YoEpisode 6: Taipei 101 (Icon of Taiwan)youtube.com/watch?v=fJJjbqRjZtMEpisode 7: Taiwan Street Food at Taipei Night Markets youtube.com/watch?v=07a-wXGQCaAEpisode 8: Ultimate Taipei Travel Guide youtube.com/watch?v=TzgjNvxyutMEpisode 9: Taipei Nightlife (Best Bars & Nightclubs)youtube.com/watch?v=YvA0pevF6boEpisode 10: Tainan Travel Guideyoutube.com/watch?v=05Z7Dqu1DNcEpisode 11: Kaohsiung Travel Guideyoutube.com/watch?v=K61_NtR9QEMCobras soaked in rice wine are often used as a Chinese medicine or to kick off a particularly bizarre weekend.I highly recommend you visit the Huaxi night market for this unique snake restaurant.
