Q&A from AOGASHIMA (July 2017)
Added 2017-07-24 12:01:32 +0000 UTCI can't do a live Q&A but I can answer your questions and upload a video from Aogashima! Please keep it simple and ask just 1 :) and I'll answer as many as I can!
THANK YOU ALL for the support. I'm here on this island because of you and I can't thank you enough. The episode about this island π΄ is made possible with Patreon! (Photo: drone shot of an interview I did with the nurse on the island. One doc, one nurse! Can you see us down there?)

I know you said one question but I have one more haha I cannot resist - what did the night sky look like there? Do you see the Milky Way or any shooting stars? I'm guessing there is not much light pollution and I hope you were able to see some awesome celestial events!

2017-07-25 11:11:41 +0000 UTCAwesome questions!!! I'll make the video today and upload from the inn tomorrow afternoon! Keep the questions coming and I'll try to get to the all. This island is really unique. After being here for a while, I'm learning that most tourists come and go after 1 night. It seems I'm odd for staying here a week but the locals all know me and pick me up when I'm walking, take to me where I want to go. The food is nothing special. ASHITABA is the only island speciality, a leaf that has a load of vitamins. Loads of answers!! Talk to you soon. -John

2017-07-25 01:00:18 +0000 UTCIn general, is it common for most Japanese families to have a shiba inu or Akita inu? Have you seen any Japanese dog breeds on aogashima?

I do have one question about the people living on this island - how did they get there? why did they choose to live in this isolated place? (same question, different ways to ask :P) [Hila].

2017-07-24 14:58:36 +0000 UTCSo... what's the dating scene like? I'm asking for a friend ;) On a more serious note, How do they handle natural emergencies like hurricanes, earthquakes and what is the plan for if the caldera becomes active?
