hey guys good morning i am just packing
up my bag i'm about to head out in a
minute here going to tokyo for just one
night i usually go down there once a
month for two or three days to oh god
Maro's destroying the place
put together packages for my stationery
business so i thought i would bring you
guys along and show you what i get up to
it's pretty fun i do enjoy it a lot
introduce you guys to ushka again you
did meet her a
long time ago when i met her for the
first time when i rented her airbnb but
um for those of you that haven't met her
i need to introduce you to her because
she's like my best friend
here in japan and you guys need to meet
her and then tomorrow once i'm finished
all my work i've got something really
cool planned with my friend victor so
should be a good little trip down to
tokyo hope you guys enjoy i'm going to
be trying out my new frames thank you so
much to glassesusa.com for sponsoring
this vlog they have sent me this pair of
transitions lenses so these transition
from glasses to sunglasses when i head
out into the sun they should change to a
brown color i think i can already
see them changing a little bit because
it's pretty bright today but they should
be really cool these do have my
prescription in them and you can add the
transitions lenses to any of the frames
on their website i chose these cool
i guess they're hexagon shaped ones that
i've never tried before i do like them
they're kind of subtle but i think
they'll make cute sunglasses as well
hopefully anyways let's go the train is
leaving
very soon

Made it to Ushka's so we have a routine every time we order
this banana smoothie and have it
delivered to her house so i tried out a
new flavor today i wasn't sure which one
you want i got a blueberry and a
strawberry and then i'm gonna try the
kale one so you can choose which one you
want
okay wow the strength okay yeah you can
choose which one i'm sorry that's the
one we usually get i think
kale the healthy one it's so healthy
so thick i can't even get anything
does it taste like kale no
it looks like kale it just tastes like banana
they all taste pretty much the same yeah
j banana it's like the new
craze right now everybody's kind of over
bubble tea and banana smoothies are the
thing
this is ushka's newest cat
pixel
hi you're getting big do you smell maro
you're silly you're silly
you're silly
so ushka runs an airbnb and one of her
guests left us it's actually really cool
it's a little mochi
that's really satisfying that's fun
[Sharla] That's fun! I haven't seen that one.
Why is it gray?
Why couldn't I make it white like mochi?
Alright, so let me show you guys
How we sort out all the things that we put inside the packages.
So we do a stationary subscription service every month
And we theme the packages around the current holiday or season.
So our next packages are going to be arriving just before New Year's so they will be New Year's themed.
So in Japan that means it's year of the tiger so
We've got lots of really cute tiger themed items going into this month's pack.
These are really fun stickers that you scratch off and they give you your fortune for the year.
And then here we have some nengajyou.
These are New Year's greeting cards.
It's a custom to give these to all of your acquaintances and people you work with
And your friends and your family here in Japan.
I don't do it because it's a huge pain in the ass.
And I feel like once you start you just have to keep doing it every year.
And um… yeah… I've just never gotten into it.
I do give one of my friends just for fun but not like the serious way.
And then one of the big items this month, we have some really cute 2022 greeting cards
That you can either give to somebody or just display it on your desk because they're adorable.
I love that one.
So we organize everything like this and then we take the biggest item which will probably be the journals.
We usually do 10 or 20 at the time depending on how many we can fit on the table.
It's a nice size so you can probably fit 20 this month.
[Music]
[Music]
so when we're done they look something
like this we've got 15 packs all ready
to go and we first wrap them up in our
personalized
paper bags that were designed for us by
Erica Ward she's a local artist she's
amazing
she does lots of art work for us
that's Maro
that is pippin who you haven't seen
today yet
we'll have to incorporate pixel on here
somewhere next time
and our logo in the corner but these are
great for
holding all the items together and we
wrap them up in this and then
put a cute little sticker on it
Tada!! We try and get different stamps every
month. Ushko went to the stamp museum and
got these really cool vintage stamps. Oh
cute the cat one
that's adorable
yeah so that's what we'll be doing for
the next couple hours and then when
we're finished we're gonna head out to
my favorite bar here in shibuya because
ushka has never been even though she
lives in shibuya we're going to order
some drinks you guys have been there
before if you've been with me for a few
years if you're new here then it'll be
your first time too so should be fun i
ordered a bootable for dinner just gonna
have a bit of this before we go out to
the bar probably a good idea
oh looks nice
hummus
did you find your snacks
did you find them i brought you snacks
you wanna try
Snack time, there you go
I like how she shakes it, like it's alive
heading to the bar now it's so much fun
you guys are gonna love it
5206. it's only open for three hours in
the evening from six until nine pm so
you gotta get there early
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
it's pretty busy tonight i haven't been
out in tokyo at night time
in
like two years
so
this is weird
yeah that's it yeah there it is
so it's called The Whales of August
and it's the best bar ever
oh what does it say nikai e dozo
so usually it's downstairs but it says
downstairs is oyasumi today
and to go upstairs
so how this bar works is you have to
tell them which movie you want your
cocktail themed on and
there is a list on the menu of movies
but you can tell them anything and they
will make you a cocktail based off of
that movie i usually pick fun things
like totoro or
like children's movies because then it
