Embedded Travel Guides: We are searching the world for folks who can take you on a field trip of their “backyard.” When we find these folks, we then stealthy embed them into their local travel scene and ask them to be our eyes and ears out in the field.

We are expecting the same sort of grainy video, choppy sentences and snapshot photos that you are use to seeing from other sorts of embeds. At the end of the day we should be left with a backyard travel guidebook like no other.

Our man in Osaka is AJ McGuire, and, wow, does he have stories to tell.

I dig a mob scene as much as the next guy, probably more. Having spent a good chunk of my upbringing out in the woods and in the decidedly roomy American suburbs, there’s a certain surreal element to being wrapped up in an absolutely ludicrous number of bodies. You know, like you find on any Osaka street.

However, there comes a time–usually the morning after a particularly savage assault on the liver–when the energy of that buzzing crowd becomes intolerable, and I’ve got to get the hell away from people. It’s not an easy task on such a densely populated island, but it can be done.
