Treating my Wife to a Luxurious $300 camping trip in the Japanese countryside

She dropped her phone on the train track.

What are you doing?

Where is it? You dropped

your phone. Is it

broken?

Look where we are, our new home.

Ta-da!

Let me in. Why did you

close it?

There's 4 beds. Why are

there so many beds?

Our new home.

What's in

there? These handles

are weird. It's like a belt. There's a

fridge. Open the fridge.

Beer. This is an all free. Free.

Yes. Beer.

It kind of looks like a golf course.

Why does it look like a golf course?

Look, it's like a golf course. Actually,

it looks like that Teletubbies.

Um, don't really know what to do now. I

think we're going to walk around, have a

look around, and then I don't know, maybe

go canoeing. There's a canoe.

This is nice.

It's so nice here. It's so quiet and

peaceful. We're in— where

are we? Some prefecture near Nagoya.

Shiga? Saga? Can't remember.

Don't fall in. She wants

to go canoeing. We've got 2 paddles,

canoe paddles, and he said to wear

the life jackets. Do we really need life

jackets? And there's, there's a barbecue

thing over there. I don't know if we're

allowed to use it or if they come and cook

for us. Where can we get meat?

Barbecue. And there's a little lamp.

Well, it's not little, it's pretty big.

What else is there? Uh, that's it really.

It's quite nice. It's a bit windy today

and it looks like it might start raining.

Is it gonna rain?

It feels like a typhoon is coming.

This is a good thumbnail, actually.

We should get one for our apartment.

Swinging chair. I want to

try walking on the grass.

It tickles.

It's been such a long time since I've

stepped on grass. I think it's been a

couple of months since I last saw grass.

Ah, it's very nice. This grass is so much

better than the grass we have back in

England because the garden at my mum's

house is just all covered in rabbit poo

and holes and stinging nettles and

insects. I want to get on the canoe.

If I drop my phone into the water, that

won't be very good. I've never been

canoeing before.

I think this is a good idea.

You can row for me.

Wait, I want to get on. Where are you

going? Come back. Why are

you leaving without me?

Oh, the water smells funny.

This is

scary, it's so wobbly.

Stop rowing it into the side.

You're going to crash. You're going to hit

that thing. Stop, stop, stop, stop.

You're gonna hit it.

I can't.

Breach. Very nice.

What? Ah, we're gonna crash.

Yeah. Oh,

I can't get up.

It keeps moving.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go!

How come they have a really nice cabin?

Look, they have a really big cabin.

We just have a little tent.

How much? How much for the little cabin

behind us?

$500, quite expensive.

Those clouds look pretty scary. Is it

going to rain? I think it's going to

rain soon.

Imagine how bad it would be if we spent

all this money to come here and then it

starts raining and then we have to stay

inside of the tents and we can't go

exploring. That would be pretty bad.

I don't even know if there's much to

explore anyway. There's a map, but there

isn't really much here. There's just a

lake in the middle and there's some

footpaths.

Put it

in the hole.

Why is it so complicated?

This side.

Give me your ice cream.

It's melting.

My one's better.

Vinegar apple drink. Thank you

very much. Sour taste, be careful.

Tennis.

It's raining.

Ruined our camping trip.

It's raining.

Don't be sad.

It's raining.

Raining, raining very fast.

My wife went to the onsen, so I'm all by

myself now. And it's still raining, and I

think you can hear the thunder. Not great

weather. I don't think we planned this

very well because we paid quite a lot of

money to stay here for one night, and we

can't even go outside because it's pouring

down with rain.

You left me alone with her. I was waiting.

It was so awkward. I was just sitting in

the corner while she was cooking and you

were gone. How could you? It was so

awkward. What? I can't

hear a thing you're saying. I just

pretended I couldn't speak Japanese and

then she didn't say anything. I said I

can't speak Japanese and then I said my

wife is in the onsen and then she said

okay. Oh, it was like

torture. Bloody hell.

Why do they serve dinner so early? It's

only 6. Anyway, we have beef on

a metal stick, bread,

salad, and there's, um, a little dish

of something. And then there's soup.

They don't give you much, should I?

There's only 3 pieces of meat.

Smells good though.

There's hardly any meat. There's only 3

pieces of meat, and then there's a big pot

of seafood. I don't like seafood. I want

more beef. And where are the chips?
