RV TRIP DAY 1 STARTS NOW! 🫡

[Chris Broad @AbroadInJapan]

Chris here - just to elaborate.

Not been a fan of Mr Beast's content for many years now. I don’t think he’s inherently bad, but like many folks his content isn’t aimed at me and thankfully his videos never appear on my homepage.

However, seeing him partner with Logan Paul, a man who's done nothing but awful act after act for almost a decade now just made me snap.

It may have been six years but I still have the dystopian fucked up image in my head, of Logan Paul vlogging himself in the Aokigahara forest, mocking somebody who was quite literally hanging from a tree before him. And rather than do what any decent person would do, and show compassion and immediately switch off the camera, he recklessly and selfishly exploited it for views. He carried on filming. He joked about it. And then he actively uploaded it to his channel.

Then I had to go on Japanese national tv and explain why a foreign YouTuber would want to exploit a man who’d tragically taken his own life for views. Understandably, everyone in Japan was confused why anyone would do such a thing.

And while I believe in forgiveness, Logan Paul hasn't exactly reformed his character. He's not a changed man - barely a week goes by without a new headline of some outrageous, awful shit he's actively partaken in.

So to see the world's largest Youtube gleefully partner with a man like that and endorse them to an audience of tens of millions of kids is something that just sickens me, all in the name of some disgustingly tacky food product, again aimed at children. I'm not sure what counter argument he has up his sleeve this time, but you can be damn sure references to philanthropy will be made in abundance.

My rant wasn’t about “making money is bad”. It was about the act of making money by partnering with a man with an abhorrent track record to sell crap food aimed at children seems like a pretty spectacular error of judgment.

🥳🥳 SURPRISE!!! 🥳🥳

Sharla and I have opened a cocktail bar in Shibuya! 🤩
Welcome to LOST: Cozy vibes, tasty cocktails, cheese plates and 80s tunes 🍸

Some of our best travel memories were created in cocktail bars around the world, so we’ve dreamed of making a space our viewers (and hopefully locals too!) could use to relax, meet new friends, chat about travel plans and just escape from the craziness of Tokyo for a bit.

Can’t wait to give you the grand tour in an upcoming video but if you’re in Tokyo today swing by!

(Open 2pm to 10pm 🍻)

Thank you guys 😭😭💕 500k is insane. Lost for words.

[Jessica @JessTherrien17]

Going to be a rad evening watching the auction!!

[Connor @CDawgVA]

Here is today's current lineup, best of luck to everyone 🫡 (with extras 👀)

[Connor @CDawgVA]

THIS IS SO CUTE 😭😭

With the auction 2 days away, I have to thank apari. Most of my events wouldn't exist without their continued support. They are always willing to support the crazy stuff I'm doing. 💕🙏

Without them there wouldn't be an auction.

[sam | リノ @rinoaskyes]

The @CDawgVA cyclethon showed us what community can really achieve together. I connected with Connor to chat about raising $1 million for charity and what he loves most about the journey.

Thanks @gourmetmei for the opportunity 🙏

[Immune Deficiency Foundation @immunedeficienC]

We cannot express how grateful we are. Absolutely blown away. Thank you so much for your support and dedication to the PI community. You all just changed so many lives.

[Chris Broad @AbroadInJapan]

It’s finally over.

All great stories need a fitting ending and yesterday we got ours.

Half a month spent furiously peddling over 1,000km across Japan’s mountain ranges and megacities, with an astonishing $1 million raised for the Immune Deficiency Foundation, culminating with hundreds of amazing folks cheering us on across the finish line at Tokyo Tower.

The journey wasn’t easy; my back and leg muscles are stuffed. And I won’t forget the feeling of my heart almost exploding while ascending 1,200m at the base of Mount Fuji.

There were some genuinely terrifying moments in tunnels, pedalling frantically whilst sandwiched between a concrete wall and a ten ton truck. Falling off the bike on to a stone pavement covered my already shattered legs in cuts and bruises.

Yet through it all, I always felt a part of something bigger than myself.

Cycling alongside the seemingly unstoppable Connor and knowing that every step of the way, people around the world were cheering us from this bloody incredible community was genuinely the greatest motivator of all.

Without Pete firing us up the second week, the struggle would have been a nightmare. Ian saved our bikes more times than I can count and Paul was there to capture every moment and raise our spirits every morning along the way.

Without the fantastic team of Nabiru, Kei and Eula off camera, the logistics would have been hell.

And without our brilliant guests, Garnt, Felix and Natsuki, the endless cycling would’ve descended into monotony.

It was a team effort in every sense, though make no mistake, Connor absolutely earned this victory. The journey was already no easy task, but to undertake it all while simultaneously entertaining 25,000 viewers everyday with a shoulder mounted camera is borderline insanity. The man is practically a Welsh Terminator.

I’m immensely grateful to him for convincing me to do this once again and to see it through from start to finish.

We’ll be working tirelessly to edit the full edited Cyclethon 3 episode for Abroad in Japan in the coming weeks. Can’t wait to share it with you all! (The drone shots are astonishing - well done Paul).

Until then, as always a huge thanks for your support guys - it’s my birthday this week and it seems I’ve already had the greatest birthday present of all.

(Well, unless of course, someone plans to gift me a barrel of Camembert of course😉).

[Connor @CDawgVA]

Last year I said I wanted to raise a million dollars for charity and raised an amazing $905,383.

This year I wanted to make sure I succeed. I thought it could be done, but didn't expect in my wildest ambitions we'd crush that in one event. Thank you everyone and the team! 🫡😭
