Japan's best tacos Mar 05, 2018

Show notes

Simon and Martina have found the best taco restaurant in Japan! It's so good, they're not even telling you where it is. Actually, it doesn't exist *winky face*...Simon's favourite taco is the lamb (so don't go ordering that). Martina just loves chatting to the owner of the restaurant. Any ideas where this place is?

EXTRA: Simon predicts the internet Feb 26, 2018

Show notes

Simon was way ahead of the times when he started using Twitter. In 2008 he actually tweet that, "more people should use Twitter." Now he can't believe it's such a massive platform, and powerful people like the President Of The United States use it. Crazy!

"More people should use Twitter" Feb 26, 2018

Show notes

Simon and Martina go back to where Eat Your Kimchi all began; with their first ever tweet in 2008. They read some of their oldest tweets and look back on what it was like when they started as Youtubers. Simon asked more people to use Twitter (he just knew it was going to take-off). They remember when they first used Skype and Simon talks about a time he got footage of North Korea (while in South Korea). There's no responses to them on Twitter in the early day...And next week they're talking about tacos!

How to easily change someone's day Feb 19, 2018

Show notes

Simon had a barista draw a smiley face on his coffee cup recently and it made him so happy he wanted to talk about kindness in Japan in this episode. Martina tells you how comments on social media have an instant effect on the mood of your day, while their cat Meemers meows a lot throughout this episode, interrupting Simon and Martina at some points!

EXTRA: Simon's friendly barista Feb 19, 2018

Show notes

This is the one thing that made Simon's day recently. It made such a difference that Simon and Martina talked about the power of kindness in their latest episode

EXTRA: Is stamp collecting cool? Feb 12, 2018

Show notes

Simon and Martina's neighbour collects stamps and wants to know how much they are worth. Simon's not sure if people still collect stamps anymore. Is it still a thing?

Why friends unfollow friends on social media Feb 12, 2018

Show notes

Simon and Martina are having a little vent about why they unfollow people (yes, sometimes their friends) on social media. If they're not interested in the things you post, if you're spamming your account with baby photos, if they don't like what you're saying/posting then they're not going to keep following you on social media. They like to follow Ramen shops - the menus update on Twitter. Amazing. What about you, why do you unfollow people online?

EXTRA: Why you shouldn't be embarrassed dancing in a club Feb 06, 2018

Show notes

Simon says he's a terrible dancer, but doesn't care. He and Martina are in their mid-30s and ain't the best dancers in the world. Sure, they used to be super embarrassed about it, but now they realise no one's a good dancer in the clubs so no one's judging you because you're all bad dancers, equally together. Right?

Bargain VVIP rooms in Japan (how 'old' people party) Feb 06, 2018

Show notes

This week Simon and Martina went to a club in Japan, to see an artist they love dancing to. While waiting for that artist, instead of hanging with everyone else in the club, they paid $30 to go to a VVIP room. They were shocked at how reasonably priced it was. They got seats and drank water. Then they went and danced with the rest of the public before sitting in the VVIP area for one more glass of water. This is where things got really wild; they ate Ramen and went to bed. It's how 'old' people party, and celebrities (well, not really celebrities)...

EXTRA: Simon's unique beard trim Jan 29, 2018

Show notes

Simon got a hair cut and beard trim while in Rome. It was like nothing he's ever experienced before.
