So last night we stayed at toyoko inn in sendai the room looks almost exactly the same as the room in the other hotels but i think the picture on the wall might be slightly different we decided to go on a bit of a back roll all three bars we went to are really
Good i don’t know if we were just lucky or if cinder is an awesome place maybe both first we drank stella at nmc the owner’s name was nemo he was really nice and gave us a lighter edge then we went upstairs to a bar called fed sixteensba
When he was 16 the owner decided to open a bar that’s where the 16 and the name comes from i can’t remember all the drinks we had here this one was bararaka cuancho vodka and lemon juice both the guys behind the bar were really friendly and the drinks tasted good
We played darts i’m pretty useless at darts sometimes the darts happen to land in a good place and sometimes they don’t the owner said i could have a free drink if i get a score of 450. one game i got four hundred and forty three so close
The last bow we went to was excellent we had olives and pickles and i can’t remember what we drank we thought about living in cinder and asked the bartenders about the cost of renting apartments cinder is reasonably close to both the surf and the snow and there are at least three good baths
I’m pretty impressed with sunday so far today we went to matsushima matsushima is nihon which means it’s one of the top three most beautiful places in japan i don’t know what the other two are matsu means pine tree and shima means island in matsushima there are a lot of small
Islands covered with pine trees it was a beautiful place especially since it was a monday and there weren’t very many people there i don’t think i would have found it quite so beautiful on a weekend or a public holiday we had a cup of coffee at this cafe
The door and passage leading to the toilet was so small that it had to go on sideways it was raining when we got there and then it stopped raining all of a sudden and the sun came out foreign i saw an interesting seat some jellyfish and a strange owl
I drank tea in a souvenir shop and bought a souvenir this is a kate strap it’s supposed to be a piece of rice you

The souvenir you bought was so cute! I agree about the crowds; historic sites are not as pleasant to visit when there are so many people about. You spend more time squeezing by than really seeing the place… not that you can see much when there are more people than things to see.
Hi, Sarah… I've seen a few of your videos in the last few days and am impressed. I have a few questions:
Do you shoot all or most of the videos by yourself? I imagine you use a tripod?
What do you use for editing?
How long does it take you ON AVERAGE to complete one of these segments?
Do you use STICK people for stick news because a) it's cute or b) you want to avoid copyright problems.,
Why do you make these? Hope of future world fame and/or world domination?
Good evening.
I like Tohyoko inn because it does the internet.
Sarah hopes to be bought by google for one billion dollars.
Yes, bought for one billion. Then world domination is on the list after that.
Thanks… and thanks for the questions.
I have FAQ on the site www dot geocities dot com slash thedailyenglishshow. I think answers to most of your questions are there.
I do almost everything by myself. Tripod: when I am sitting down talking to the camera I use a tripod. When I was travelling I sometimes used a tripod – but usually not. I couldn't be bothered setting it up. I just try to hold the camera still.
Yeah, that's really convenient! One of the reasons we stayed there.
