Summary

His Fukuoka IRL stream repeatedly lagged despite a 50GB Docomo SIM; lowering bitrate from 1080p/6000 to 1000 improved stability. He found Fukuoka cold, quiet, directionless; preferred Thailand’s liveliness, struggled locating yatai stalls, and rejected a ¥30,000 adult venue. His $130 24,000mAh/140W power bank was uncharged and unusable, limiting streaming to about an hour and prompting a return.

Insight

Japan’s fresh start again gives way to boredom, technical frustration, channel pessimism, and Thailand nostalgia.
