Japan TO THE MAX

[Socratesabroad]

The groom grabbed my attention when he showed up wearing a rubber horse head and I decided that this little sight gag was worth filming. However, it was only when I played back the master footage of this goofy lil party that I noticed the groom stumbled straight into the wedding cake. Hence Japan TO THE MAX was conceived through a happy accident.

Might prove interesting...

Hi! Im Stu, a 29 year old Australian and the creator of Japan to the Max.

I liked your Signature re: not the critic who counts. I want people to know that my videos are cheeky yet compassionate, essentially, im taking the piss out of myself by showing how wacky and warped my reality here is! I really enjoy the endeavour of taking the mundane and turning it into something that is worlds apart from what the raw footage was. If you enjoy my videos, great! If not, thats fine too.

Be sure to check out http://www.englishtreejapan.com to see what I really do for a living in Nagoya.

Pretty good production values there in Japan TO THE MAX's work.

Also, check out the other thematically-related videos like this mega-tacky Nagyoa wedding.

Good stuff, Stu! Keep it rollin': a wise man once said, 'tape is cheap'.

Hi! Im Stu, a 29 year old Australian and the creator of Japan to the Max.

Stu, didn't watch everything but now I know that you're an Aussie, I'll suggest the site to some Aussie friends in Tokyo.

I usually get hate mail about Ed and shitty ratings on You Tube...

I'd wager almost all of us gaijin (or laowai since I'm now in China) go through an occasional phase of complete frustration or heated anger with less Western, i.e. less practical/logical, aspects of life here like piped in muzak at beaches/ski slopes or dewy-eyed newbies prattling on about 'how wacky the Japanese are' (if you want to get me on a roll, just ask me about dealing with Chinese banks or setting up a business).

I sympathize with Ed. I support Ed. I've even been Ed.

No complaints here

Hey there! - thanks for your reply.

Oh, just a quick note about Ed - in the trailer hes talking about how he sued a company which admitted to firing him because they were undergiong a corporate image shift and told him he was too old. He took them to court and fought through their Yakuza threats, bribes and so on won the case.

Yeah, ive been here for 14 months and have reached an understanding of the varying sentiments about life here.

I''ll choose an easy target - MUSICAL GARBAGE TRUCKS!!!!!...c'mon! thats the ice cream van's territory! they've got that covered!!!...I could go on, but yeah, doing business in China, hehe! I have a mate who worked in Hong Kong for a while and he used some monosyllabic words which I wont utter here.

Im sure youve got some great or not so great stories to tell, which id be happy to hear.

Thanks so much for checking out the site and spreading the word! Keep in touch and all the best in China.

I think the site is very funny (especially the useless bike video) and have been sending it to my friends. Keep up the good work and high quality.
