Experiencing snow for the first time & sailing on a pirate ship! (Mt Fuji tour) - Japan trip - Day 2
I was lucky enough to visit Japan this year, after talking about going with my best friend, on and off, for the past 5 years! This trip, following a terrible 2023, was absolutely magical! On Day 2 we went on a day tour to see Mt Fuji. It may have been one of the worst days for visibility because of the very cold, cloudy weather, but that brought with it the joy of this Aussie experiencing snow for the first time!!!! We also got to do a little outlet shopping, ride a ropeway into the ether and set sail aboard a pirate ship with an accompaniment of fog that made me reminisce of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. A jam packed, incredible day I'll never forget!
Just for fun, I've decided to pop my step count stats for each day at the end of each vlog's description.

    This is great thanks! I just busked at a big festival and had so many people telling me I should get a tap and go device for cards as I have a QR code to link to my PayPal and Buy me a coffee accounts and a lot of people scan it but then can’t be bothered entering in their card numbers so I’m looking at other options. I’ve seen UK video where buskers have a tap & go option for a preset amount which would be ideal. Not sure if we have that option here…

    • @edgesamantha
      @edgesamantha 17 днів тому

      I'm still using my Roland KC-110. I haven't been busking as much since my foray with the Bose and so I held off finding another and used that money elsewhere. On this occasion I was performing inside the shopping centre with a lot of hard, reflective surfaces around me, so the amp didn't need to be pushed at all to reach a good volume. I find it still gets the job done and though it would be wonderful to get something that's maybe a 10-20% improvement on it's output capability, it's just not worth setting myself back a grand or more, when I'm rarely performing at the moment (health issues!). I also still have my Yamaha Stagepas 400 PA for situations that the Roland may fall short in and I upgraded my battery and inverter last year to allow for longer usage of that PA through my portable power set up, if the need arises. I'm sure there are plenty of great options out there, though I haven't looked into it recently, and certainly a lot of people have made helpful suggestions in the comments of that video to support that the Bose S1 Pro can be a great amp with the right additions. There have also been a lot of people suggesting a vast array of alternatives there too, so if you're looking into getting your next amp, I'd definitely say to have a peruse of those comments and then look into what models your local stores have available to try and hopefully you can test out and find the one that's going to work best for you. 😊 My Roland model has been discontinued, but they have replaced it with a newer version, the KC-220, I believe.

    UPDATE As a mentioned below, I’ve been using pedals for 15 years now as a professional touring musician with no problem. I had the first generation air turn pedal which was fine like the Pageflip a “normal” pedal. I’ve been rehearsing and have a concert tonight and I’m going to use the pedal pro. The thing that is radically different with this pedal from all of the others is it works best if you keep your foot on it all times and change the pages by using your toe. One of my female colleagues who swears by this pedal says that means also you must really have the correct shoes. She said she cannot use high heels. She has been using it for eight years. I will see you tonight if all goes well and let you know.

    Like yourself I've had THREE Pageflip pedals. Butterfly, Firefly. I also have the original Airturn pedal. I ordered one and like yourself the ONLY way to turn the page was pushing with my FINGERS on the pedal. The rubber came off instantly. The pedal was exchanged and now I am practicing with the Airturn pedal pro. I seem to make it work by putting my foot on the pedal then after pushing with my toe. It seems to work but this is day one. It is not easy like the pageflip just touch and go. Maybe they want it to work this way. But that "spongey" feel I dunno.

Last year in September I got really sick, but not like ive ever felt before, was like my nervous system was shutting down.Couldnt do anything for 3 months, if I went out I'd have episodes where I couldn't walk properly, weird sensations over my body, felt like I was disconnected from reality, a truly horrible feeling.And this was everyday, until early January I got a little better.Id say I'm at about 70% better, at my worst I felt at about 30% and some days thought I might not make it to the next day. I don't know what's causing this but I know several ppl who've been sick for months, and don't fully recover.

    As I was watching your excellent video, my mind went to the Boss VE-8 which I think might have solved your problem. As I scrolled down and read some of the comments before I posted this, I saw someone else suggest it. It also has a looper and a vocal harmonizer feature that lets you ad vocal harmonies. I'm curious to find out what was the ultimate solution that you came up with. I recently purchased a Bose S1Pro, but I don't busk. Just got it to use in the back yard.

      I had a look back at the last year or so and it has ranged between 0 - 27.5% depending on the day. I haven't worked much because of illness, so don't have as much to go off as I wish I did. The best day I had, the Square donations added up to $30. I have mostly performed outside of the city in recent times, so I can't say it's an accurate picture of what can be made in a more bustling environment. Regardless, I have made back what I spent on the Square Stand and am making a profit by having it available. 🙂

There are plenty of tips in these comments about how people have made it work better than it did for me. I.e mic pre-amps, mixers and higher gain mics. There are also lots of alternative amp recommendations too.

    Great sharing Samantha, I've had my own issues trying to come to terms with the digital transactions way of doing things. I forked out over $300 for a Square card reader terminal thingy (the bigger thingy they sell at Officeworks et al), it's great! Or it WAS great until the battery completely carked it. I do have the reader you have there, but it's been so long since I used it, and when I first got mine I no idea how to set up different donations etc ... OK so I'm an old fulla, it doesn't help hahaha. Anyhow you've inspired me to drag out the little square do-hickey and run through trying to set up different donation amounts on my phone, as you have there. As I too battle the odd health issue or ten, it's always easier said than done, but I have to do something as so many don't carry cash now. As an aside, I've never had much interest shown by punters (the audience) in the cashless thing, it's as though people just don't trust it or the busker using it ... Thanks and well done!

    • @edgesamantha
      @edgesamantha 4 місяці тому

      Oh no! How long did you have it for? Just checking the warranty length and it's only a year! That's disappointing! I guess I'm lucky that my devices have lasted as long as they have, but then I also don't use them on the daily, so I will probably get a longer life from them due to that. Awesome! Glad to hear it. 😊 Hope you can work it out, but if not, part two should be helpful! I totally get that. I think the more we all have eftpos, the more that the public will trust it. I do think the Square Stand makes quite a trustworthy impression and I could imagine "busking kiosks" installed down the mall, which could be utilised by each busker during their sets, so it became the norm. I know that I'm dreaming though! Lol. We can't rely on the council/mall here to help buskers get tips, so we just have to do what we can ourselves!
