It's gonna be a very fantastic christmas in a minute.

We don't even have a chimney there.

How's it gonna, how's it gonna get in the house?

I mean, you can't really kick the door down, you can't have them breaking in through.

Nothing about this makes sense.

We're just letting a man break into the house and just how do I believe this for 25 years?

What was wrong with me?

God damn it, merry christmas, everyone, I hope you're having a fantastic holiday so far.

I'm here in the UK having been on the road across Japan, Los Angeles and London the last few weeks.

It's been really nice to sit back and rediscover the joys of sitting down on a chair, forgotten what that felt like.

I don't want to keep you long.

It's christmas and nobody deserves to look at my face any longer than they need to this year.

There has been the 10 year anniversary of the abroad in Japan channel.

It's a milestone.

I never thought we'd hit and I never planned to hit as you can probably tell the years I sort of make it up as I go along on abroad in Japan and we get to where we're going roughly, but to celebrate that crazy milestone.

There were some things that I wanted to do and number one was to have a physical event here in the UK in London, which we did now, I'd love to have an event with everyone there and maybe we'll do more events next year because it was really fun meeting everyone.

But I want to show you a piece of the event in this video and in my opinion, it's the best part of the entire show.

We were really lucky in London to have not ski come along to the UK for the, for the first time in five years since he came over and did not see the movie.

Getting him over here is never easy given his ludicrous work hours and the massive distance between Japan and the UK.

Unsurprisingly everyone in the audience was very excited to see not ski, It was kind of like the headline, he was the main event and we kind of decided to play a prank on everyone and ruin the atmosphere by pretending that Nazi couldn't make it to the event while I was on stage.

I said, Nazi couldn't make it because he was busy and the flight distances very far now the audience weren't very happy about this and the atmosphere got very depressing, very fast, especially as I think most people bought into it and we've done a very good job keeping that ski hidden.

We've ushered him into the front of the cinema wearing like a disguise and we kept him on a low profile his whole time.

He was in London but we said, unfortunately can't make it.

But he's got a video message and that led into the short film and the chain of events I'd like to share with you.

Now we can't put the entire 90 minute video onto youtube is, there's some things in it that might get demonetized or delisted but it is on Patreon With the 50 behind the scenes videos we have over there.

So check it out in the description box below and be sure to stick around until the end of the video for the 2022 abroad in Japan highlight video showing all the crazy, absurd stuff we've done over the last ridiculous 12 months.

But for now guys have yourselves a very merry Christmas.

Thanks for being a part of the absolute mayhem and chaos.

That is the abroad in Japan channel.

Especially many of you have stuck around so many years and well I'll see you in the new year, cheers.

What about the hell was that?

He's here shit.

However, as exciting as your fitness progress was and is all right.

We do have some bad news.

Not bad.

It's not like terrible or anything, but it's better to rip the band aid off I think right away.

So the band, unfortunately one of our guests could not make it tonight much to our disappointment as well as probably yours chris Yeah, unfortunately he couldn't make it terrible shame as as you know, because you can't fly with Russia at the moment.

The flight times 15 hours and december's is busiest month.

The guy can't get off work.

And so those two things combined meant it was very difficult for him to get here.

But we do have is a video message from Nowitzki.

So you don't go home empty handed like to share that.

Now let's go and take a look scott.

Mhm.

Hold on.

You know, schooling.

I smell well, I need a trim.

Oh, trim.

I've got a long journey coming up.

Oh wrong johnny good, good, good.

Okay.

Nova.

No, no son.

Much much further than that.

Do you have any trips planned this holiday season?

I want to go to London but I'm very busy and 15 h.

Oh what my friend?

15 hours.

That's quite a problem.

What do you do for work?

Well, nothing most of the year but december can be kind of busy?

Hmm This Oh, sorry.

Oh yes, that's a very important list.

Quite long this year.

Well, thank you for the trim.

Oh, this that's key.

You hold onto that.

Something tells me you're gonna need it tonight.

Many what?

We'll get some, get some another one.

What?

This why santa hat and the key.

Strange message.

I don't know.

Oh guck summer.

Oh, nice, nice, nice.

So good.

Let's go run again.

Go, go, go goodnight.

Goodnight.

Nice chris, we're going London fast.

Let's see.

I'm going to Oh what, what's it?

Is it possible?

Is it some sort of christmas America?

Okay, please get on stage.

Look at this.

Ladies and gentlemen, not skiing, riding the reindeer.

Oh, oh no, his name.

Okay, good, good, good.

Pretty nervous.

It's scary why you're very scary, intimidating character, but also quite nice gentlemen, gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, he is mr Affable himself, chris Yeah, Because because he's fighting like he's a mortal kombat character.

I mean he stands like hands down ready to go, but he's got 20.

Are you still with this john McClane, would you like to die?

Where are my detonators?

Is he down green?

He wants to prove himself in the ring.

He's trained for six months.

I'm kind of glad I wasn't in here when this happened though.

This would have been absolutely horrifying.

My legs are dying.

We're gonna keep powering on.

You will not eat or drink until you reach the summit.

That's the goal today and goddamn it!

We're gonna reach it.

I hate youtube.

Um Yes, I'm dating chris No, I actually will throw up in Japan.

We did it, we did it.
