Joining in,

The two young lads seem very young bless them.

The older bloke is quite obnoxious I think, he would do my head in.

His wife appears to agree with you! He's doing my head in (he's reminiscent of the retired teacher bloke who won series 1).

“Steven is an acquired taste”

I’ll say 😂

No shit Sherlock 😂😂😂😂

@NoWordForFluffy

I've just watched that series, Tony is easy compared with Steve 😄

CaptainMyCaptain · 10/04/2024 21:50

There seems to be a lot of ambling about aimlessly but Sharon snd Bridie seem to be the best at communicating with locals and getting information.

Tony was an annoying twat!

TokyoSushi · 10/04/2024 21:51

The wife obviously knows that Steven is a knob.

Isabelle is impressive!

We're loving this - faves are Brydie and her Mum and the brother and sister

Jellykat · 10/04/2024 21:53

Surprised the lads are doing so well, with no map and a double backing to Tokyo

Yiayoula · 10/04/2024 21:54

Like the two mum-and-daughter teams best so far .
Alfie is stressing me out !

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 10/04/2024 21:58

The train fares abroad (and reliability!) always shocks me

Imagine the budget they would need if it was lands end to John o groats in the U.K.

periodiclabel · 10/04/2024 21:58

Isabel is a kween! total kudos to her for making such an effort with the language

Yiayoula · 10/04/2024 21:59

Go Isabel !!

I know! I was super impressed with the effort she made with the language.

TokyoSushi · 10/04/2024 22:00

Agree, love Isabel!

I bet Alfie's Mum was mega stressed with him going!

Throughly enjoyed it. See you all next week.

Isabel is a boss. Love her flirting skills.

RenoDakota · 10/04/2024 22:01

Loving both mother and daughter combos so far. Really love Sharon and Brydie's friendliness and respectfulness towards the Japanese people, especially the sandal ladies!
Not so keen on the lads scarfing food down on the street and the simmering tension between them, or on Steven quizzing everyone on how old they are. Feel as though he will become more annoying and embarrassing as time goes on.

Yiayoula · 10/04/2024 22:02

“ This is a new life “ - don’t be so keen to rush through it , Alfie ……
Great first episode, have high hopes for this series .
Japan is so beautiful !

Cocolapew · 10/04/2024 22:03

This is already so much better than the Canada one. Stephen and the young guys could get annoying very quickly.
Love Bridie, and Isabelle learning the phrases so quickly is amazing.

Absolutely!

Liking everyone so far, but pleased at the first leg winners. Loved it.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 10/04/2024 22:05

Episode 1 has not disappointed 🙂

theresnolimits · 10/04/2024 22:07

Isabelle demonstrating the benefits of learning the language. Good on her.

the80sweregreat · 10/04/2024 22:14

Never been to Japan , but what an amazing place.
Loved Isabelle and her mum so much. Trying to learn the language was inspiring.
Alfie was annoying , but they are both very young and did well to come 2nd.
I had no idea Japan was so big! On a map it looks deceiving

Hedjwitch · 10/04/2024 22:19

I dont get this. They all meander about,doing a day's paid work here and there,spending time relaxing in a spa....yet all arrive at the run within minutes of each other. Enjoyed the programme but so staged that it spoilt it a bit

the80sweregreat · 10/04/2024 22:23

It is staged a lot , but I can forgive that as I get to see places I won't see in real life
Someone must set up the jobs for them.

CrushingOnRubies · 10/04/2024 22:24

Loving both mum and daughter teams

Older couple and the two lads are annoying me already

Feel like there's a backstory between the brother and sister

Sorry haven't learnt all the names yet
