Kanamara P*nis Festival Exposed ★ ONLY in JAPAN
★ Special Episode ★ This festival will next be held on Sunday, April 5 2020. Here's a preview with all the background you'll need.
Japan's Kanamara Matsuri as you've never seen it before!
Every now and then something very bizarre from Japan pops up in the news. This time, it happens to be bright pink and carried around the streets of a town near Tokyo. The Kanamara Matsuri / Festival is definitely unusual but there is much more to this story including a strong historical backbone and religious significance.
So – WHY #JAPAN ?!?! WHY ?!?
The international media sees the images and write the stories but never ask the questions. Let me do that for you in this episode.
The festival sometimes dubbed the “Penis” festival or the Utamaro Festival has a long history going back 200 years.
It was created by a transgender salon in Asakusa called Elizabeth who wanted to bring attention to the issue of STD, HIV / AIDS and the LGBT community. They succeeded in getting a lot of attention but over the last several years, the message has gotten lost in the shock and -- bright pink of their hand made phallus. Whatever you may think about Elizabeth, there is no doubt that it is the most photographed mikoshi in Japan!
Kanamara #Shrine is dedicated to both fertility and a place for prayer for women afflicted by sexual diseases. It's a place women go to today to pray to get pregnant and for a healthy child.
Those who have been unfortunate to contract a STD have been coming here for centuries. The priests approach those afflicted with a lot of compassion. Kanamara Shrine is certainly one that opens its arms to anyone and everyone who is suffering and that compassion is admirable.
In recent years, the worldwide media attention has been overwhelming skewed on the weird and the Kanamara Matsuri has become something of a joke and embarrassment in many Japanese eyes. I really hope that this episode can help shed light on the cultural, historical and religious significance of this festival in Japan today. It's more than a gag, a comedy piece.
Parental Guidance suggested:
Because viewers of the shows come from all different backgrounds and ages, I highly recommend anyone under 13 have a parent watch with them. There are no actual body parts shown but I know the material is sensitive for parents; and parents should be the ones making the decision if this should be seen or not. I added a rating at the opening for this purpose.

I took a tour around the Yiwu Industrial Trade City - the largest wholesale market in the world. People come here from every country to buy goods to export. 5.5 million square meters, 7km long, this market is beyond giant. And it's all one interconnected building. I explored it for a day with Collin Abroadcast, a fellow market fanatic. From Christmas decorations to children's toys to hardware and tools, we found a bunch of stuff that blew our minds.

Japanese Ice Cream
It's profusely hot outside and so we went to a convenience store and bought far more ice cream than we should have. Then we went to the park and ate it on camera. Here's what Japanese Ice Cream tastes like. Spoiler: it's great!

$3 STRAIGHT RAZOR SHAVE by 17 Year Old THAI TEEN GIRL Barber in Pattaya Thailand
I had just gotten back into Pattaya, Thailand, where I walked around looking for another barber shave experience.
I headed into Bua Barber shop on Soi Buakow and chose Ann for a straight razor barber shave. During the shave, I asked her how old she is... she told me she is 17 years old and has been been a barber for a year already. She gave me an amazing shave, with an eye brow trim, and even a little shoulder and head massage -- all with a smile. I was impressed that this teenage Thai girl began her barber career at the age of 16 years old. Amazing Thailand.
Cost: 100 Thai Baht (I gave a 100 tip)
100 THB = $3 USD

Dubai WorldClass Metro Train Metro Station *HD*
Dubai, U.A.E: The video shows the world class swanky Dubai Metro Rail system-beautiful, organized, and magnificent. The stations are spotless clean with consistent architecture throughout. The two routes, Red and Green, covers most part of the city and connects to airport terminal 1 and 3 as well. Lot of investment has gone into it and it shows in the quality of overall rail system.
