NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Happy Christmas Eve everyone! This will likely be the last video in the 12 Days of Chrismas series, before the release of the Journey Across Japan Christmas Special in a few days. I hope you enjoyed the series! Thank you to all the awesome guests that stopped by; Natsuki, Ryotaro, Sharla and Connor!
@@CaliMel184 Guys can be stalked and sexually harassed by women and other men as well. You just don't hear about it due to society telling men to suck it up. Or if you don't enjoy being felt over by a woman then you are gay. I have been molested and threatened before by female managers and even healthcare workers before. My complaints were tossed out because no one believes men can be sexually harassed. This is incredibly wrong. So keep your sexist remarks to yourself please. It shows how backwards you really are. Have a great day and I hope you learn empathize with others.
Middle aged single men in Japan can be strange, same happened to my wife but I was home so he stopped at the outdoor entrance to our apartment after I yelled at him
There's a moment at 5:42 where Sharla says she recently went to the same haunted inn where Chris saw the bird fall over, and Chris kind of suppresses a smile and says "No way?" like he didn't know she was there... I don't know that moment seems really cute now.
Something similar happened to my cousin in Dallas. Luckily she found some cops and arrested the guy. Ever since then, she now carries to be on the safe side.
@@ThreadBomb It's really not. Someone trying to force themselves into your house after following you home is extraordinary. I wonder how the Japan tourist board feels about this video!
My money is on the bike trip across Japan. In separate videos they’ve BOTH mentioned the same place as highly recommended for a visit because it’s so special. Nudge nudge!
on Chris' 10 year podcast, he said it was about "1-2 years after Journey Across Japan". So it's probably between mid 2019 and 2020 that they got together. Edit: It's a livestream not a podcast
@@martinvalencia798 Here you go! czcams.com/video/TKJFl458luU/video.html He talks about their relationship for about 10 minutes from 37:49 onwards, then once again later in the livestream. You may find it there
I dunno. After seeing others like Ryatoro, Natsuki and Connor act rather passionately and eccentrically to be entertaining presenters, watching Sharla just kind of sit there and talk in a subdued, monotone voice is pretty boring.
So you were together in this yeah? When I first watched it, I was thinking.. "wow, they are sitting quite close to each other" well... now it all makes sense!
I just wanted to do some CSI work in this video. The way they behave to each other is different from the previous videos, the sitting position (They literally too close. Even their shoulders are touching each other). And i think to myself, IT WAS OBVIOUS that they're dating. Stupid me. Love you guys ❣️
Sharla looks SO pretty in this video with her cozy-looking sweater and glittery make-up! Very festive. More videos with Sharla please, this was delightful.
Apparently, nobody is allowed to comment on her appearance without being told they are "lame" and a "weirdo". It's the hateful and intolerant Left out in force again. Watch out for those people. They hate others having a differing opinion.
I love seeing how you are with different people especially Sharla because you're so sweet to her and I love seeing that compared to how you are with guys like Ryotaro or Connor
He is sweeter to her, but he can still be his usual self. If you watch the original abroad in Japan, there is an episode or two where he makes fun of her a fair bit
I must disagree. It doesn't look like it used to be, I mean there's still smiles from Sharla but no big laugh this time. I know they're sitting next to each other but no eye to eye look. Idk; "trouble in paradise"?
@@JibsMotoVlog In fairness she just got a hugeass tumor removed from her thyroid super recently, so maybe that has something to do with it? Maybe we can't infer what's going on with their friendship dynamic from an edited, 14 minute CZcams video.
So sad that the 12 days of christmas are already over. I've really been digging this channel for the last couple of days. The quality that goes into the AbroadInJapan-videos is always appreciated, but these videos were just so much fun to watch.
Sharla is a delight, as usual 🥰 I hope both of you are doing all right. Chris, those 12 days of Christmas were fun, but they must've been quite exhausting for your mental&physical health. Please get some rest 💪
Advert revenue goes through the roof in December and drops to almost nothing in January, that's why most CZcamsrs post an abnormal amount of videos in December
@@dasnurk Yeah, and I don’t know if it’s a common thing there or not, but unfortunately I’ve heard multiple stories like this in Japan from other female CZcamsrs who live there
Chris and Sharla have such a fantastic chemistry on camera. Every video I have seen with the two of them has been better than any video I see of either of them solo. I'd love to see a series on either of their channels that feature both of them.
I had a similar experience to Sharla there. I had a stalker for three months and it got so bad that I ended up having to move prefectures to get away from him. Good times!
it is funny and satisfying at the same time to see that Chris has given Sharla real food and with the other guests that he has had pure plastic food 😆😆😆😆
Some guy once followed me home. We were on the same bus and got off at the same stop. Then I kinda stopped noticing him until I was at the door, the guy was like, please give me your number. I was so creeped out. Luckily he took no for an answer. Doesn't make him less of a creep tho
Holy shit Chris and Sharla’s responses to the worst things that have happened to them in Japan could not be more different. It really just shows me how worse off women have it in Japan especially.
@@cursedchest6469 Ah, yet another male creep and a troll too. More from the big ego and small equipment man who thinks that harassing women is foreplay. We can see how your parents raised you.
This doesn't say a thing about that. It's literally just the experience of two individuals. Not the whole of Japan and all its people. Yall have to stop thinking like that. It's ridiculous and just plain stupid.
Enjoyed the video but now I'm genuinely curious if that old man without his pants was just an oddball or suffering from dementia or something similar. Met a few people with dementia and you can sometimes forget the most basic of things, like putting your clothes on, depending on how severe a case it is. Also, congrats on being the first to get actual food in the ramen shop, Sharla.
I thought the same thing that it could be dementia. My grandma has dementia and my sister is taking care of her. The stories I hear of the things our grandma ends up doing...yeah.
@@kaijaro4818 It goes to show who has come across people with dementia/Alzheimer's and the like, when our first thought is, "Does this person have such and such?" when they do something odd. That being said, that particular dude could have just been some random weirdo/pervert who got a kick out of shocking people.
@@annwilliams6438 Technically dementia is a mental health problem but it is also a neurological disease. Technically speaking their is nothing to do but put people into some sort of monitored care facility.
Also the cutest thing is that they are literally celebrating Christmas as we speak in England and just left Canada honestly one of my favorite Internet couples to ever exist💜👁💜
Similar thing happened to my girlfriend as happened to Sharla. This guy followed my girlfriend home, then tried to force his way into our apartment. Luckily I was home and my girlfriend was screaming for me, and as soon as I got near the door the guy fled. . Really sketchy though and I really don't want to imagine what could have happened :(
Funny story about jaywalking: when I was 16 (1984), my (Japanese) father took (American-born) me and my (German) mother to Japan while he was there on business (we had also gone when I was 4, and most recently my husband and I went on our honeymoon in 2008). While Dad was busy at work, my Mom and I were walking around Tokyo. We came to one of those little streets that Chris references,, saw there was no traffic, and crossed without a thought. It was only when the 10-15 Japanese people who were standing at the curb followed us that I realized we had crossed against the light! This is funny in both the follow the rules way and the "Hey, if they can do it, so can we!" way...
You'll see this if you go to Waikiki. It's packed with Japanese tourists. They won't J-walk unless someone else does it first. I tested it myself - you walk up to a crosswalk filled with Japanese tourists, and they'll start watching to see if you'll J-walk. I took a step toward the street and stopped suddenly, and everyone else did the same and looked confused.
The sad thing is a man also followed me home from the station once in Japan and I'm a dude....He tried to invite himself inside and didn't leave until I yelled at him so God knows what he planned to do in my place.
My Hotel was right next to Kabukicho when I visited in 2015 and I didn't know what it was back then. One night when returning to the Hotel I took a detour and accidentally ended up there only to be immediately greeted by promoters trying to lure me into their Bars. Luckily I'm always super suspicious to people trying to sell me something on the street, they would have probably given me the same treatment like that poor Couple on their Honeymoon. I defenitely think making a Video to warn of scam artists in Japan is a good Idea because I certainly wasn't aware how big the problem is before I visited. ...same for these christian cult members who are lurking around Shinjuku Station trying to get foreigners to join them for a prayer.
I agree with Sharla that night buses are the worst mode of transportation in Japan. Back in 2018 I took a night bus from Osaka to Tokyo, thinking that I'd save both time and money by sleeping my way between two locations. It was awful; cramped, noisy and with occasional rest stops where they turned all the lights on, I couldn't sleep a wink. Didn't help that I was also suffering from a cold at the time, so I wasn't exactly in the best of state to begin with.
I really enjoy these videos Chris. Not saying you should do that all the time but from time to time I'd love seeing some more of this, just chatting with friends in a relaxed ambience, that's nice :) Happy holidays!
I've been to Japan, for work, about 16 times over the past 30 years, and I've had some truly bizarre experiences. I'm very tall (7') and broad, and I was once offered a lot of money by this guy we got talking to, to carry him around like a baby, while he was dressed as a baby. I told him no (used more colourful language than that). That wasnt my weirdest experience in Japan, but is in the top 5.
Enjoy the hell of your content, even though I lived here in Japan for over 10 years I still find myself tuning in. Your down to earth and seem like a good person. Your guests are great and you never changed your content like other vloggers to please the masses. Keep it up!
Chris: I saw a guy walking a duck on a lane... Sharla: A guy followed me from the station and forced himself in my house. Chris: I saw a guy walking a tortoise... Sharla : An old man with no pants and underwear was standing in front of me...
Would be interesting to see a video on the dangerous bars / clubs in Tokyo. Similar happened to my and my wife on our honeymoon there. Luckily nothing got stolen, but I literally had to carry her back to the hotel as she collapsed. We thought it was too much sake but realised the next day it was something far worse.

Thank you boss 🙏
I’ve never been this early for anything before. Looking forward to another great video.
Happy CHRIStmas Mr. Abroad.
Loving ChrisMas! Many thanks and a merry Christmas from Kentucky!
Merry Christmas bud!
I hope Sharla knows how privileged she is. She's the first one getting real food instead of plastic.
I love this comment haha
What a simp right
@Jephrew One step forward, one step back, lol.
This was my exact thought when I finished the video XD
And she hasn't been led into the scary wilderness after being promised an onsen.
Other guests in Chris' studio: *insulted, denied food, and physically attacked with a Nerf gun*
Sharla in Chris' studio: *Gets a 7 course meal*
He a simp to Sharla 😁
But Connor’s his girlfriend, though.
Which he finishes himself 😆
Sharla is precious lol
社会に住んでるんだね
sharla: a strange man followed me and tried to force his way into my home *nervous laugh*

@@CaliMel184 you must be fun at parties
@@CaliMel184 Guys can be stalked and sexually harassed by women and other men as well. You just don't hear about it due to society telling men to suck it up. Or if you don't enjoy being felt over by a woman then you are gay.
I have been molested and threatened before by female managers and even healthcare workers before. My complaints were tossed out because no one believes men can be sexually harassed. This is incredibly wrong.

@@UrzuOfMythral "strange" is a light way of putting it
Poor Sharla! That sucks :(
If Chris gets any more handsome, we may have to put him on our list next year. Keep eating those leaves!
what the...
@@adastra301 idek bruh 💀
I would enjoy seeing that
LMAOOOOOO
LETS GOOO
I enjoy that Chris's sarcasm doesn't go to waste when he's with Sharla.
They should be a couple
@@alvaroprieto2092 I think that Connor would be sad to loos his boyfriend. why do you think he takes Chris to all those love hotels.
@@sirBrouwer And Chris just admitted to going to a gay club and it wasn't even for content 😏
@@alvaroprieto2092
Pretty sure she's married or something
@@MelficeN7 Was married. They split up iirc.
POV: You just found out Sharla and Chris are dating. You came to this video. Now you’re staring at my comment
Yea
So surreal. Saw this video when it first got posted. Now.. yeah, better not say anything else. Chris-San, Sharla-San, おめでとう！
楽しみにしている。次回またお会いしましょう！
There's a moment at 5:42 where Sharla says she recently went to the same haunted inn where Chris saw the bird fall over, and Chris kind of suppresses a smile and says "No way?" like he didn't know she was there... I don't know that moment seems really cute now.
Salvador we need to stop meeting this way.
Exactly, who else is now re-watching all these after the announcement?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the manhole cover led to Ryotoro’s evil lair
Proof Ryotaro is secretly trying to kill Chris
@@thomasbecker9676 Secretly, since Chris doesn't know to what extent Ryotaro will go to achieve this.
Could Ryotaro have a non-evil lair, to begin with?
Heheh 🤣
This is now canon.
Loved Sharla whispering "Fuck off" at the end lmao, what a mood, love her.
yes i was waiting for someone to point this out (╥﹏╥)7
had to go back and watch this lol
Sounded more like “oh god” or “oh gosh” not “fuck off” but it is entirely possible since she has had problems with swearing on camera for a long time.
@@SPFLDAngler "Problems"?
@@SPFLDAngler Oh, it is "F*ck off" for sure. These two have always had interesting collaborations.
Sharla's scary experiences sound f-ing terrifying.
Something similar happened to my cousin in Dallas. Luckily she found some cops and arrested the guy. Ever since then, she now carries to be on the safe side.
Not to diminish Sharla's experiences, but I think a lot of women in Japan (myself included) have very similar stories to hers.
It's a common experience in any country, for women.
@@ThreadBomb Yep, this is more about 'life as a woman' than about Japan. Happened to me, too. And I live on the other side of the globe.
@@ThreadBomb It's really not. Someone trying to force themselves into your house after following you home is extraordinary. I wonder how the Japan tourist board feels about this video!
Re-Watching this after the Sharla Juicy QnA with Chris reveal, is way more lovely in a way
They're adorable
Same. When I first saw this I thought maybe they were dating, but I was like nah, no way.
Knowing they're together now, this video definitely feels like they may have been a thing when it was recorded.
Very proud of Chris finally getting some real food for the ramen shop
IKR
Yeah all that plastic food is not good for the upkeep of his handsomeness 😉
Shame the food was stone cold.
Chris is all "man, I was traumatized by riding a somewhat unruly horse" and Sharla goes "hold my deep-fried leaf"
I'm so sorry for Sharla, she's been through so much stuff....and now having to dine with Chris. Give this girl a rest!
😂
Her other experiences seem like a joy in comparison.
ah yes… 👀 just a dine, though, not like she’s dating him now or anything… surely not! 👀
@@zivion Hahaha well they probably were dating already back then and she laughed about it :P
the 7 course meal experience makes a lot more sense now that certain news broke out haha
ikr
After Sharla admitted it finally, people are now revisiting chris and sharla videos trying to figure out when they became an item.
Pretty sure this is a date XD
My money is on the bike trip across Japan. In separate videos they’ve BOTH mentioned the same place as highly recommended for a visit because it’s so special. Nudge nudge!

Has female guest "Orders enough to feed her for a week"😂
Lol unless it's Emma. Then he won't get her food
@@J-Hz He would probably buy a lot of dairy products for her (knowing she is lactose intolerant) 😳
Who’s Emma again?
@@AD-lh3jk Emma = Tokidoki Traveller
@@HeavenlyCreature. oh frick did you just said lactose intolerant but it seems chris want some pleasure with a tolerant milk for special little girl😈
The murmured ''Fuck off'' from Sharla at the very end was the perfect cherry on top of this video.
Sharla looks incredible in this. Glad she's recovering well!
Recovering from what?
@@ParawhoreLoL She had a tumour in her neck, I believe.
@@ParawhoreLoL thyroid tumor it was removed a couple of weeks ago
@@Cynicayke oh shit hope she's doing well
To me she looks much better without makeup. 🤷🏻♂️
EDIT: I'M GAY, STOP SEXUALIZING THIS COMMENT FFS.THIS WAS SIMPLY A REPLY TO MATTHEW KRUSE.
Oh yeah, it’s all coming together
Now I know why Chris actually fed her and treated her like a human being unlike all the other guests...
You could always tell there was a sweet connection between them, I'm happy for them.
I love how this video series goes both ways, with Chris appearing in multiple videos on Connor, Joey and Sharla’s channels
Chris is Japan´s Most Wanted 🤩
@@HeavenlyCreature. It's true, he's committed numerous warcrimes in the Tohoku region that he's not told us about.
@@77R_ I know he raided multiple chicken farms after hearing there was a shortage of fried chicken in Japan 😏🍗
@@HeavenlyCreature. It's basic survival, innit?
Oh, well, they pretty much milk him for those subs and views, so...
It's only beneficial to them.
Between follow her home guy and pantless man, I'd say Sharla wins in the "Wtf Japan" department.
I love Sharla! She's so mellow and easy going.
I dunno. After seeing others like Ryatoro, Natsuki and Connor act rather passionately and eccentrically to be entertaining presenters, watching Sharla just kind of sit there and talk in a subdued, monotone voice is pretty boring.
@@cometmoon4485They come of as fake as fuck tbh
The chemistry is very obvious in hindsight. They very much look like two people in a new relationship.
I really felt those vibes when they were on the journey across Japan trip. I'm giddy watching back now knowing the truth 😁
I love when you collab with Sharla! You two have a great friendship dynamic 😄 Happy holidays!
I think I saw Sharla turn green when Chris talked about how handsome he is 😉
@@HeavenlyCreature. What do you mean by that?
@@nanashi2146 She felt disgusted. That's true friendship
She seemed really bored but kinda pissed off
@@Thaeru2113 She had a smile on her face, but she was definitely playing up her reaction for a humourous moment on camera.
Now that we know... I notice that chemistry. Lucky guy, but then he offered food. Good move. =)
“Accidentally ordered”. You’re fooling no one, Chris.
Classic Anime excuse
🤣🤣🤣 I thought exactly the same !
11:08 - such a girlfriend response. I should have realised when I first saw this. There's now a whole new dimension to their older vlogs. Loving it
I love how the new and old generations of "J-vloggers" interact a lot more. It's great to see familiar faces on each of the channels.
So you were together in this yeah? When I first watched it, I was thinking.. "wow, they are sitting quite close to each other" well... now it all makes sense!
Finally, Sharla in the Abroad in Japan studio! But seriously, it's always fun to see both of you together in a video
I just wanted to do some CSI work in this video. The way they behave to each other is different from the previous videos, the sitting position (They literally too close. Even their shoulders are touching each other). And i think to myself, IT WAS OBVIOUS that they're dating. Stupid me.
Love you guys ❣️
That episode with Chris in the abandoned loved hotel was actually a trip, I can’t believe that place is actually real
I really went down the rabbit hole after that video 💀
it doesn’t, Chris use his youtube fortune to build the whole thing from the ground up hiring the same group of people that build his ramen shop.
Sharla looks SO pretty in this video with her cozy-looking sweater and glittery make-up! Very festive. More videos with Sharla please, this was delightful.
that sweater is awesome, yes.

I noticed that his way of talking gets quieter and sweeter with Sharla.

Coming from lastest Sharla video , I AM SO HAPPY 4 you two ^__^
Great collaboration!! ALWAYS great energy between Chris and Sharla !! 💕 😊
I am not sure Sharla agreed about Chris becoming more considerate. She probably still has nightmares of the doomed roller coaster ride 😥

Sharla is always a lovely presence. Happy Holidays!
I love seeing this couple together. Just so cuuute together!
It's now obligatory to watch the videos that you two did together in the past.
Sharla: "A man followed me home and tried to get in"
Chris and most dudes: O_O
Women: "Ah you too?"
Right as a woman nothing shocks you anymore lol its sad
Ah I hope that someday this kind of stuff stops😓
Everything makes sense now that it's officially YT official lol
Sharla seemed forced to ask why Chris is so handsome, like Chris planned it so he could brag about how dashing he is.
Sharlas face on the last question said it all. Happy Holidays
Going back to these videos with both of you hanging out hits differently now.
I thought I am only the one watching old videos of them now we know they are dating.. are we creepy or super happy😂
That whispered 'fuck off' at the end of the video was everything 🤣
Yeah! And in Sharla’s recent collab with Chris, Chris tries to plug the Abroad in Japan channel before Sharla “rudely” ☺️ cuts him off via editing 🤣
I had a similar experience to Sharla there. I had a stalker for three months and it got so bad that I ended up having to move prefectures to get away from him. Good times!

While Dad was busy at work, my Mom and I were walking around Tokyo. We came to one of those little streets that Chris references,, saw there was no traffic, and crossed without a thought. It was only when the 10-15 Japanese people who were standing at the curb followed us that I realized we had crossed against the light! This is funny in both the follow the rules way and the "Hey, if they can do it, so can we!" way...
You'll see this if you go to Waikiki. It's packed with Japanese tourists. They won't J-walk unless someone else does it first.
I tested it myself - you walk up to a crosswalk filled with Japanese tourists, and they'll start watching to see if you'll J-walk. I took a step toward the street and stopped suddenly, and everyone else did the same and looked confused.
I just scooted over from Sharla's QnA... FR these two are dating now? lol cute.
I'm so stoaked you both are dating! you make an awesome couple!
The sad thing is a man also followed me home from the station once in Japan and I'm a dude....He tried to invite himself inside and didn't leave until I yelled at him so God knows what he planned to do in my place.
In Japan, when a man is the victim of a sexual crime, the victim hesitates and does Not report it to the police.
You know what dude? You turned a tiny cell into a ramen shop. That deserves a sub.
Now this video makes much more sense
My Hotel was right next to Kabukicho when I visited in 2015 and I didn't know what it was back then. One night when returning to the Hotel I took a detour and accidentally ended up there only to be immediately greeted by promoters trying to lure me into their Bars. Luckily I'm always super suspicious to people trying to sell me something on the street, they would have probably given me the same treatment like that poor Couple on their Honeymoon. I defenitely think making a Video to warn of scam artists in Japan is a good Idea because I certainly wasn't aware how big the problem is before I visited.
...same for these christian cult members who are lurking around Shinjuku Station trying to get foreigners to join them for a prayer.
Loving Sharla! So glad she is doing well now. Go Canada!
I love their dynamic relationship, it's so wholesome 😂💖✨
Oh yes, the greatest collab in Sendai.
I agree with Sharla that night buses are the worst mode of transportation in Japan. Back in 2018 I took a night bus from Osaka to Tokyo, thinking that I'd save both time and money by sleeping my way between two locations. It was awful; cramped, noisy and with occasional rest stops where they turned all the lights on, I couldn't sleep a wink. Didn't help that I was also suffering from a cold at the time, so I wasn't exactly in the best of state to begin with.
Thanks for a great year of videos Chris! Looking forward to what’s coming next. Take it easy and enjoy the holidays!
The most enjoyable video with you two. Your real personalities were definitely on display. Merry Christmas to both of you.
Chris: your Connor impression is DEAD ON mate.
Love it...
Really enjoyed the 12 days of CHRIStmas! Sharla looks freaking gorgeous as always
I really enjoy these videos Chris. Not saying you should do that all the time but from time to time I'd love seeing some more of this, just chatting with friends in a relaxed ambience, that's nice :) Happy holidays!
Sharla is so beautiful! I hope you two have a lovely Christmas!
This was a great format. Just eating and chatting. Great to see sharla
I've been to Japan, for work, about 16 times over the past 30 years, and I've had some truly bizarre experiences. I'm very tall (7') and broad, and I was once offered a lot of money by this guy we got talking to, to carry him around like a baby, while he was dressed as a baby. I told him no (used more colourful language than that). That wasnt my weirdest experience in Japan, but is in the top 5.
9:18 Are we not gonna talk about how cute Sharla looks as Sailor Moon?!
Enjoy the hell of your content, even though I lived here in Japan for over 10 years I still find myself tuning in. Your down to earth and seem like a good person. Your guests are great and you never changed your content like other vloggers to please the masses. Keep it up!
Watching this knowing they are dating, gives it a whole new vibe. ❣️😎
Chris: I saw a guy walking a duck on a lane...
Sharla: A guy followed me from the station and forced himself in my house.
Chris: I saw a guy walking a tortoise...
Sharla : An old man with no pants and underwear was standing in front of me...
Always a pleasure to see Sharla. This is such a good series Chris 👏🏻
Would be interesting to see a video on the dangerous bars / clubs in Tokyo. Similar happened to my and my wife on our honeymoon there. Luckily nothing got stolen, but I literally had to carry her back to the hotel as she collapsed. We thought it was too much sake but realised the next day it was something far worse.
