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

To-infinitive

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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
