Overview
Daniel starts a stream, gets ready in his hotel room, and cycles toward Osaka Castle while noting cyclists on the wrong side of the road, early voting broadcasts, and his Tinder account bans.
During his visit to the castle grounds, Daniel observes crowds, street food stall prices, and a juggling street performer, buys lunch at a Lawson store, and navigates streaming connectivity problems.
While eating takoyaki and cycling back through Osaka, Daniel confronts pedestrian paths, traffic, and bad weather, eventually encountering an elderly man who aggressively shouts at him to move his bicycle out of an entrance.
Returning to the hotel with convenience store food and sake, Daniel vents about the confrontation, reviews and edits the altercation footage using Bandicam, and posts it to YouTube and Instagram Stories.
