Good morning, everybody so today. I have a weird swollen throat, and I don't know why I don't feel sick or anything

And it doesn't feel like anything is going to happen. It might just be allergies

I have no idea getting ready to leave to go shopping

I'm going to get some sushi and then I'm going to get my nails done for the first time in Tokyo preparing to leave for La in like a couple days and

I'm

Freaking out because I don't want to get sick, but at least I have some time

I have Friday and Monday in the morning to get whatever medication. I need before I hop on that plane

Yeah, it's like allergy season so like I don't know it could just be allergies

I'm hoping it's just allergy not really excited to head into the city

I'm not a big fan of heading into the city, but you know that's where all the clothing shops are

I'm making some quick breakfast. I'm going to finish my hair, and then I'm going to leave

I have a lot to do today alright. I'm ready to go got to pay a bill take out some money and head to Shibuya and

Do some shopping and then go to the nail salon. I'm not sure if they're going to let me film inside

I emailed them about it, so hopefully they'll get back to me, but if not I'll ask permission when I get there

It's actually pretty warm outside today. I wasn't expecting this, but I guess spring is coming, so maybe that's why my throat is feeling weird

Tokyo is a city where people come for work

I remember my host sister's dad and brother moved to Tokyo and lived there without them while they worked

The dad would only come home every once in a while and provide for the family

This is normal in Japan. Tokyo is where it's at when it comes to having a successful career

I love Tokyo for certain reasons. It's great for networking

It has a large expat community, and there's tons of things to do, but for some reason

I just don't feel at peace here. There's just something missing

This place is food heaven. There's so much stuff. I'm trying to find a bathroom, but I still can't find a bathroom, but everything looks super good

Honestly, when I come to Shibuya or any part of the city, my anxiety level skyrockets

Just because I'm so like not into big crowds or anything like that. Coming out here takes a lot for me

I moved here because of my ex-boyfriend, so I never really expected to move here. I really love Nagoya

Yeah, I can feel the tension rising

I feel like I manage anxiety pretty well, but that doesn't mean I don't have it anymore

Living here can be exhausting, but this place gave me a lot of opportunities, and I have a lot of great memories

It's gonna be so dead in here, I'm so excited

Everything is 30% off. They better have some spring stuff, I swear to God

Kawaii

So cute

Oh my God

I seriously love the shopping here, but sometimes I feel like Tokyo is just one big mall

People just shop all the time and the prices are so high in Tokyo

I forget sometimes to enjoy nature and take a break from all the lights and shiny things

I'm gonna go to H&M and see what they have, because I still haven't found good shoes yet

Oh God

This is like

So stressful and there's a car behind me and I almost got hit

But yeah, okay, we're gonna go to H&M and we're gonna look for some more clothes and hopefully I'll find some shoes

That's what I really need. Oh, I forgot to get a belt

Way too early to go to my appointment, so I'm just gonna walk around and see what they have and

Yeah, didn't find too much. Everything was way too expensive so

We're gonna try on some clothes when I get home just because I need to pack for LA

So it's not that crowded today in Shibuya, which is kind of nice, but

When it is really crowded I get so anxious

It's ridiculous. Tokyo is very busy

Tokyo is just definitely

It's not for me. Like I think I see myself moving somewhere else in the future. Maybe in a year or two

I think I'm gonna get sushi now and

Sushi is right down the street and I always go here by myself

Anyway, so I'm kind of craving some sushi

So I always come here by myself when I'm like finished with work or whatever like it's like the easiest thing and it's like a place that you can go when you just kind of want to be alone. There's a lot of places like this. So, yeah.

I mean it looks so good

Anyway, I'm glad that I ate early because later on I'm gonna meet Kel and we're gonna eat something at Blue Jam Cafe again

We're gonna go to a different one. Yeah

Gretchen and I have been talking this morning, and I think I'm gonna meet up with her because she's out already

And so yeah, it'd be nice to have some company. It's getting so much busier. I'm at Shibuya 109 right now

This place is great for shopping for clothes

But it is a little pricey above my price range at least but I might go take a look around just a little bit

So I'm waiting for Gretchen

I

Love this liner. It's like very Sakura season 900 yen that is so cheap for Japan

Look at that eyeliner, it's so pretty they have like the nicest L'Oreal section ever

Okay, so I'm with Gretchen now

Don't know how this vlog is going. I was having like major anxiety earlier because of the crowds

I can't stand Shibuya. Now we're gonna walk to Megiddo. That's where my appointment is

And you're a trooper for coming with me

To watch me get my nails done. Yeah, I'm excited. I actually never got like I'm getting gel nails

So like I've never gotten gel before have you?

I did it myself once

And it turned out pretty good

It's really cool though the way it like just hardens

Really? I'm excited

We're gonna walk to Megiddo, and it's like 30 minute walk, but I like walking because you can discover a lot of really cool places

Down the streets and everything and maybe we'll find like a cute cafe to stop by or something who knows

Kelly's not sure if she's getting sick, or if it's just hay fever season, so we're gonna oh whoops

We're gonna have this drink right here. It's good if you have a cold

Yes

Oh my god

Train!

It has all this bad crap in it

Well it's good for you, but it's bad

I'm not even sure if this actually works, but it makes me feel better

It's actually kind of nasty and they come in these little bottles like this. Can I sniff it?

You can it kind of smells like candy. It's like not that bad. Oh, yeah, it smells like orange candy. Yeah

It's like an orange sort of scent, okay

The aftertaste it's like good when you drink it, but then like the aftertaste is like really weird

Yay, make me feel better

Like the cutest little building and I think it is a hair salon

They're so pretty can I have a house like this we're following this map

And it's leading us down alleyways, but I love Japanese alleyways cuz look how cute they are like they're so quiet and peaceful and

You're not gonna get murdered. Doesn't feel like Tokyo

Look a hole

I wonder what it's going to be

I feel weird being in front of someone's house though. Always take time to pamper yourself

I forget to do things for myself a lot of the time and it's a great way to unwind and put a smile on your

Face at the end of the day

Look at this place melon bread

We have such a sweet tooth it's so bad

My first ever nail appointment in Japan

And I just wanted to do something nice to pamper myself before I go to LA

So I braved the busy city today to go to this nail salon, and it's an unmarked house. That's yellow

That's all they said the one thing about Tokyo

Is there's so many like narrow streets and so many cars live in the Inaka

Or you live in a countryside Inaka means countryside in Japanese

I think there's just less cars less people. I miss my Nagoya

Well, I'm probably gonna move back in a couple years for sure. I

Know Nagoya was the best

It's just like the community like everybody was so nice. She used to live in Nagoya, too

Yeah, and like the community was just nicer like everybody was just very close to each other

I had a lot more Japanese friends in Nagoya. Yeah me too like way more than I do now

Because like Tokyo is such a busy city so like a lot of people don't have the time to hang out here in Nagoya

Everybody was a lot more laid-back. I think it would be nice to like move back again

It's so beautiful

It's like in the middle of nowhere, but it's so quiet and so gorgeous and all right

Where are we

Thought maybe it looks like this one, but

It says a house on the corner though, and that's not really a corner. Yeah, I mean, it's like almost

So maybe it's this one I think it's this one is there a right yes, maybe this is it I'm not sure

I

Think this is it

I'm so sorry. I was looking everywhere. I was like, oh

That's okay

Yeah, that's okay we found it

You're at the nail salon and it's a nice little house in the corner and I'm getting ready to get my nails done

It's a quiet. There's lots of foreigners here. I'm actually pretty surprised and it's a lot more homey than I thought it would be so

I

Kind of like this it's like a new like a neutral nail. It's not but the pink ones makes up to it

I like the pink. This one's more white. Yeah the pink. Oh, so there's like these two right here, right?

I like this one

I

Women who did my nails was so lovely. I will link this salon down below if you're interested in trying it out

There's even a dog named Pucci who will greet you while you do your nails

She met on Instagram

You're so cute

I'm getting Sakura nails because it's Sakura season

Oh

My hands are so small

Yes, no problem

So we just finished I just finished my nails I got Sakura nails

If you can see them, they look like this. They're so pretty

We just finished at the nail salon and they were so nice everybody was speaking English it was weird to me

We were like in an American home

But yeah, I got my nails done and it looked really nice and I can't wait to go to LA with them now

We're going to dinner with Cal and I think he's waiting for us. So we're in a rush. So thank you

Thank you for coming with me and keeping me company

So you guys should totally come to Jolie nails I think a Jolie salon Jolie beauty Jolie beauty

How do you decide where to live in Japan most programs you sign up for a place you randomly where you have no choice

But if you decide after that to move elsewhere think about trying something out of your comfort zone first

See if you like it, and if not pick somewhere that suits your personality best

We're waiting for a table

We're very hungry

I

Honestly, I don't know if it'll be worth the price but they're cute my nails aren't really that long in my hands are so small

Hi guys, so

Like Bailey's

Honestly, I'm lucky to have lived in four different places in Japan already

Moving around gives you a feel of where you would like to settle down in the future

So don't knock it if you don't try a variety of places give each location a chance before deciding where to live

I love this place. It's kind of like Cal knows everybody

Look at the moodiness, like they put the candles on the table

Yeah, we need to do it's gonna make you poop 20,000 milligrams of vitamin C and it's gonna get that out of you. I feel like it's allergies though. I know what do you guys think?

Comment down below

I'm going to the drugstore so I can get some vitamin C into my body 12,000 grams. Oh wait 20. Let's see. There's super fish oil, zinc, calcium, iron, sea, oh a thousand milligrams

It's the same in Japanese. Oh a thousand so I can just take two. No, wait 20,000. You're gonna take

You can do 15,000

Oh

Hey guys, it is

Close to the time that I'm gonna be leaving for LA

I didn't film an ending for the video

Because I was exhausted at the end of the day and had to work the next morning. So my voice is gone

I this is like me filming the day that I'm leaving. So

Yeah, I apologize for that but I got my nails done so they're really cute they're still on

It's been a week now and I still have them on so they worked out pretty well

I recommend the place the place was really weird though. Like there was this guy that was there

He looked like he was like part Japanese part something else or maybe he was full Japanese

I don't know but like he started asking me about my nails and he's like, oh they look so nice

And then he said he runs a jewelry company

He was showing us all his Sakura jewelry and it was actually really strange like do they all live in the same house?

There were like three kids there. I guess since the owner is American. She lives with her

Husband, he's not Japanese and they have three kids. I guess there was some lady

I guess she said she was from India and she had two kids that were there and like I was so confused and this random

Japanese guy is talking about jewelry and like

It was really interesting and then there were like there was like an intern and this young girl and like there's one big happy family
