apologies for the double post but I saw this on Tumblr and thought it was funny that Dan appears to have a designated “pupper jumper”

(mods: idk how to link a tumblr post apparently??? help!)

To nitpick, the first striped shirt is different, then he’s worn the 2nd one twice on days he’s met dogs. I can’t tell which black shirt he’s wearing in the restaurant, but the others are all different. Yep, I’ve already looked at this myself This is such a cute post, I even shared it to Facebook where the rl contingent doesn’t give the first damn, but some things are too good not to share.

The only thing this post indicates to me is that the ratio of striped shirts:puppy encounters in Dan's life is too high.

Otherwise known as "get a dog!"

Random thought: I know LAP is as good as dead outside of liveshow uploads, but man I would kill for another Phil Lester vs. praying mantis type of video. Just on my mind as they're on vacation and living their best lives :')

That video is such a treasure. So domestic, with a slightly buzzed (and acting extra) Dan behind camera.

Not to make too many kid-on-Christmas correlations here (though... not wrong) but I am genuinely going to bed every night excited for the morning right now because I know there's a much higher than average chance I'll be waking up to something cute from them. Thank you, boys.

I'm in a bit of a difficult too, but all of this is making my week so much better I'm so very happy for them.

Also, lads. Guys. Boys. Bros. Pals. Get a goddamn dog. I promise you Norman won't be jealous.

Reminds me of Dab and Evan's bathroom

So since Phil said they wouldn't just stay in Tokyo this time, I'm guessing they left and moved on with their trip by now because that is one hell of a very expensive location hint.

mhm. i stand firm in my theory that Dan was in the bath during the skyscraper safety poetry. (although that bathtubs dimensions feel a little short for such tall boys.)

Well, did the window cleaner get a glimpse of Phil-butt, poor/lucky man Unlucky timing for Phil anyway.

Well since apparently I'm getting all my wishes granted rn, I'd like to put it out there that a romantic Kyoto joint selfie would not go amiss.

In other news I've become emotionally dependent on their daily Japhan updates and will need some sort of withdrawal therapy once they come back from holiday.

The stuff of nightmares

Since they’ve definitely vacated it now, anyone find the hotel? I need to drool over the kind of life I’ll never lead and count up how many months rent for me that stay would have been. (Also, fic details.)

holy sh*t, i just actually choked on my coffee. woooooow i guess i'm naive but i didn't know a single night could cost that much in a hotel...wow. go on boys, live your dream

Wow!!!! They really are pulling out all the stops for this holiday
That was just one part if it, my head is spinning imagining how much the whole thing must have cost them. Good for them though, this is their dream holiday. If I had their money I would definitely do it in style

Look I can't help but think this is a special holiday. Like.. you know? Special luxury places in their country or dreams for their 10th anniversary.. I don't wanna say it but i am thinking it because I am, after all, a clown

A suite is ~$2,000 USD a night. That’s not terribly different from the nicer hotels they stayed at during II. Or is it?

Possibly I don’t remember. Either way. I think they should go on more expensive vacations and, you know, make that travel series.

Don't worry, you're not the only one that's naive because I actually can't comprehend what it must be like to be able to afford that level of luxury... people can do that? real life people? not dramatic cartoon villains? Can't fault them too much for it though, that place is NICE. Honestly, good for them.

LessAmazingPhil! An inaccurate name for that channel tbh.

Yeah I was a bit shocked when I found the hotel earlier. At first I thought I might have the wrong one because of how obscenely expensive it was, but nope. They really splurged. I agree with liola that this holiday seems to be at least a little bit more special than others. I don't think that's the kind of money you'd spend on a normal holiday, not even when you have Deppy money. They're celebrating... something.

They definitely stay in nice hotels when they travel, but the Aman is another step up. Just compare the room prices for the Aman to the Imperial Hotel, which is where they stayed in 2015. Both are 5 star luxury hotels, but the Aman is much more expensive. Or compare it to the Bellagio where they stayed thus year during their Las Vegas trip. Those hotels are in their usual price range, but the Aman Hotel is like double that.

I feel like this really cements that at the very least this is their tenth anniversary present to themselves. And while I can't quite think about how much money it costs without making myself queasy I am at least happy for their blissful enjoyment of the trip.
