JAPAN VLOG #3: Osaka & Kyoto, Glico Man, Bamboo Forest, & shopping
oh wow guys Holy [ __ ] I feel like I went through like Oh my god Jesus Christ Water This is complimentary Um holy [ __ ] Wow Okay so we are in an Osaka to start I suppose Um what a day What a day of traveling this has [ __ ] been Um and it’s only 2:55 I have this little tiny clock right here 2:55 I just got to the hotel and let me [ __ ] say all my nails are gone So you can probably tell that that was a [ __ ] journey First off let’s start with the train ride Um actually let’s start with my morning My bag broke Yeah Yeah Um luckily there’s two zippers so I was able to zip it up with the other zipper but we’re going to have to get another bag I was already going to get a tiny bag for a carry-on Um but now we’re going to have to get a bigger suitcase as well because uh yeah it [ __ ] broke Uh and then I was on the phone with my mom and my sister-in-law showed up and I asked my little brother my sister-in-law’s you know husband um what he wanted from Japan and he was like “A Nintendo 64 controller.” Nowhere did he specify that he wanted a Nintendo brand specifically Like he just said a Nintendo 64 controller And I was like “Okay that that was the first thing I bought cuz it was the first thing I found.” Granted okay so I showed while I was facetiming my mom this morning Um she I was like “Oh hey look at look at what I got my little brother you know.” And I was showing my sister-in-law and she was like “Oh is that Nintendo brand?” And I was like “Uh no I don’t think so He didn’t say he wanted Nintendo brand.” And she was like “Oh yeah That’s why he wanted the Nintendo controller cuz he wanted the novelty of the Nintendo brand.” And I was like “He didn’t [ __ ] say that.” If somebody asks you hey do you want something fromah and you say like “I want a I want a Nintendo 6.” You got to got to be specific like I don’t know that I’m not a [ __ ] gamer So that irritated me Um and then we get on the I got on the train and um I almost got on the wrong pl I was on the wrong platform and I realized it like kind of last minute but it wasn’t that big of a deal I just had to go down and then come back up and all that was fine after that on the train ride there was this um family right next to me and the uh I had two kids and mom and a dad and one of the the youngest one was like really upset about halfway through the train ride and they were crying for like a good 20 30 minutes and so there’s three seats over here and then two over here and I’m like all the way in this one and this seat is open It was open the entire time basically so nobody booked it But um so I guess the dad like halfway through he was like “I’m going to let the kids have those two seats and the wife have this seat and then I’m going to go.” He he sat in this seat next to me which was fine whatever But during that time the youngest kid started crying Oh my god he was so upset And you know he was literally just sitting there and the mom was sitting over there with the two with both of the boys and trying to like comfort the like crying one And I was like “Why don’t you [ __ ] get like not the mom like she was doing everything she could but I was like the husband that’s just [ __ ] sitting here next to me I was like “Why don’t you get off your [ __ ] ass and help your wife or take your son to those areas that are in between the train stations and like try to calm him down there?” Eventually that’s what the wife did Like the the the mom she ended up doing that taking the kid to the area while the dad sat with the other the calm baby And I’m just like this that’s [ __ ] partially why I don’t want to have kids cuz like what all meltdowns are my responsibility like I don’t I what do you mean I can’t just sit and relax on the train ride like you’re doing you’re not doing [ __ ] You’re just sitting there Um and I’m telling you like it was it was that baby was really really really upset Like I looked over and like covered in sweat from like crying so much Um and then we get to or I get to Osaka and I get out and it’s like this is just like cuz probably because I’m not used to like cities and pick taxis and things like that but there was a taxi wait area and I was going to get a taxi to my hotel but um I don’t know how those work Like do you stand in line and like the taxis that come just take you wherever or do you have to book the taxi cuz I’ve I mean I’ve been booking booking on the Go app all this trip but my pickup has been like my um when I had pickup at the hotel or at the airport the very first time That was a mess I had to get a police officer to [ __ ] help me And so I was like trying to figure it out I spent like a good 20 minutes trying to figure it out I tried to look it up on the app and book it on the app but it was like wanting me to go like down these stairs and like across the street and all this stuff And I was like you know what [ __ ] it I’m just going to get on this train line because the train line says it’s like straight to the area that I need to go And then also the um Airbnb that I booked it’s technically like a hotel but I booked it on Airbnb and um I don’t know the app was being really weird Like it was also giving me like latitude and longitude and then it was [ __ ] giving me like some other I was getting so confused Um but oh I also had to like lug my um [ __ ] suitcase up the uh up some stairs Like a lot of stairs I had to like It’s like stair stair stair level out stair stair stair level out cuz I was like dying I got to the top and I was like that was horrible That was awful Um and then these Osaka [ __ ] streets Horrible Horrible like the actual roads themselves There’s it’s all uneven There’s little potholes everywhere Like my suitcase was pissing me off Uh I got to the point where I was like you know I was trying to pull it out of like every time it got stuck And eventually I was just kicking that [ __ ] Every time I got stuck kick it kick it again I think that’s when I broke one of my nails And then I got to the wrong hotel and I almost started crying but luckily he was like “I’ll show you.” And it was literally right in front of the hotel Um I was I’m staying at one called Bibo or By Boi Boi I don’t know Um and the other one was like 88 So it was like double double I don’t know So I just got confused And um I get here and they’re like “Okay well you can’t check in until 3:00.” And I was like “That’s fine Can I just [ __ ] sit?” And so I sat and I popped all my nails off because and at that point one of them had broken off and I was like “You know what i I’ve been losing these nails daily like two to three nails a day and I have to reglue them back on And I’m I’m over it you know it’s It’s not the end end of my trip but like I fly back on the 19th and I’m over it These [ __ ] nails you know what I mean like they’re awful So I ripped them all off and now I’m trying to clean up some of the glue But uh it’s 3:02 now We have I I like to say we cuz it’s you know me and you No Um I have a drinking tour tonight I don’t know why I booked that on the night I [ __ ] get in but uh we have a I have a drinking tour tonight um at 6:00 here I’m in Namba which is like really near Doanbore Um and so I’m just going to chill until about 4:00 and then I’ll start getting ready for that and I’ll leave around 5:30ish or whatever for that drinking tour I booked a drinking tour because I wanted to go out and like have a night out but I don’t want to do it like unsafe you know um and so I thought a drinking tour was a good way to go at least for like my first ever solo trip I do really like wish I had the balls to go to a [ __ ] club in like Tokyo Honestly if I had a cute outfit I might have actually done it but I just didn’t have an outfit where I felt confident enough um to do that So I didn’t But uh yeah tomorrow um drinking to night I’m sleeping in tomorrow because this travel day was insane And then tomorrow we’re going to do Osaka Castle and Park And that’s kind of like all I have mainly booked Um the rest is just up in the air Up in the air Up Yeah whatever Anyways we’re on Osaka I’m going to try and relax and like shift the energy of today to better energy Um maybe cry a little bit cuz I’m just really I’m exhausted It’s not it’s not this trip It’s like just life Like this trip is to celebrate me finishing my master’s degree and like I think it’s everything tacked on I’ve also been on my period this entire trip which has [ __ ] sucked Um and I’m just really tired And on top of that like I think I’m like really really ready Oh god Not to get too deep I don’t want to like cry on this but I also want to be like real with you guys and like relatable but like you know you travel and you see all these like families and these couples and it makes me really sad because I don’t want to be single anymore Like I used to I used to want to be single but I don’t want to anymore Like I want a partner I want somebody to do this stuff with Like I want somebody to go through life with me and I’m tired of being alone all the time and having friends is great and I have a best friend and she’s amazing and I’m when I’m with her like I don’t have these thoughts but it’s so [ __ ] lonely That’s all I’ll say I’m just lonely I’m just lonely But we’re in Osaka and we’re going out tonight It’s going to be so much fun Energy shift Energy shift Energy shift I think I’m going to jump in the shower cuz I’m so sweaty Literally you could ring out my sports bra that I was wearing I’m not wearing a bra right now because [ __ ] that [ __ ] that I’m going to cry some more Bye Okay we’re getting ready to go out We have a drinking tour I was saying earlier here in Osaka Um I think we’re doing like three restaurants bars I think the first two we’ll eat at and then um and then um the last one is just for alcohol Um listen guys I’m not a drinker like at all Um I know that drinking is like kind of big here but uh but I’m not a drinker so we will see how it goes Um I know people are like “Why did you book a drinking tour?” I like I still like going out Like all right what’s wrong with that like why can’t I Why is the shoe so hard to put on um I still like going out Like I still like the atmosphere of like what comes with the bars and stuff I just don’t drink myself So anyways once again wearing this jacket but I’m wearing this shirt I got at a thrift store Let me turn my phone off This shirt I got at a thrift store Let me show you guys So just the shirt my sweats and my new shoes And I did my hair kind of Honestly I just wasn’t really feeling anything today So this is what we’re going with Um but it starts at 6:00 and it’s like 5:30 now So we’re going to head out and check it out before uh before it starts So I will see y’all out there [Music] So nobody actually ended up showing up to the drinking tour I was by myself so I wanted to incorporate a little voice over kind of explaining the night These are just some photos that the tour guide took of me She was amazing I had such a fun time just talking with her She took me to this shrine We went down some like tiny little alleys Yep here it is It was so small but so pretty And I got to pet this cute little cat It was a great conversation and we just got to hang out and I got to Oh there she is Hi She’s so cute It was just us I got to hear about uh her son and like her time in America when she visited She actually visited America before 9/11 So crazy I just got back to the hotel I’m sorry that there’s like no footage of my night out but oh my gosh I lost a hair clip Oh there it is I wore these butterflies Looks like that one broke Um so I just got back from my night out And listen the reason I didn’t record anything is because my tour ended up being just me Isn’t that amazing um so there was nobody else So it was basically [ __ ] my bracelet fell Um it basically was just me which is amazing Um and so I just didn’t I don’t know I didn’t feel like ripping up the camera to like record her I wanted to like enjoy the experience and enjoy the conversation And it was great Mary um was my tour guide and she took me to three different places The first two we ate at and I got to try yaki soba and that has been my favorite thing I’ve eaten so far since being here and I’m probably going to get that again Um and then we tried I got to try plum wine Look I’m not a big drink I’m not a big drinker like at all I think I’ve mentioned that but like I wanted to experience drinking in Japan Um and so I tried plum wine and then I tried this like lemon sour drink that she recommended Uh and that was really good And then we went to this other place and we tried we tried this kai katsusa It came with eight different types of things deep fried um like beef beef asparagus uh shrimp pork some type of fish um and then quail egg I think and then maybe something else And and then we also drank some beer And I tried this like Japanese stew thing And it was so good And we just it was like a great conversation We just talked about anything and everything Um it was probably the most I’ve talked to anybody since being here that wasn’t like a native English speaker Um and so I just wanted to enjoy it Like I just wanted to enjoy the experience I just wanted to enjoy Mary’s company And I had a great time I’m going to be leaving her like a fivestar review for sure And I highly recommend um doing that drinking tour with her So she was we were both really nervous cuz like I was just really nervous for a drinking tour in general but she was really nervous because I was the only person on the tour and she thought I was going to be like upset I was like “No girl I am I am fine with a bunch of people and I’m fine without a bunch of people Like whatever the vibe is I’m here and I’m enjoying it.” Um and then Mary’s so such a saint I asked her I said um I said “Where can you get deodorant?” Cuz I literally swiped my last swipe of deodorant before I left for it So I was like I got to get deodorant And uh and I was like I also need some motion sickness medicine for the plane ride back because I don’t do really good with takeoff and landing Um and she took me to the drugstore and like led me down the aisles and helped me find exactly what I needed to find Um so yeah Mary is so so nice I really loved her and I’m so sad that I might never get to see her again cuz I just we talked about everything like her son my niece um my nephews um her trip to America before 9/11 which was crazy Um she runs she just did like a half marathon last week Um I’m supposed to do like a 5K on Thanksgiving I have no idea if I’m going to be able to do that but we’re going to try Um yeah we talked about everything Everything Um so yeah it just didn’t seem right to pull out the camera Um I wanted to enjoy the experience Although I really I don’t think that Mary would have minded like at all I don’t think she would have cared if I recorded bits and pieces I think she probably would have even encouraged it But I just yeah I had such a great time just enjoying that conversation and that atmosphere and learning Japanese culture and her how she was it it was just lots of like simil we talked about um sneaking alcohol from my parents growing up um and just like little things like that It was yeah as you can tell by my reaction it was such a good time It’s currently it’s 9:25 So um I’m actually not even slightly drunk I was kind of feeling a buzz there for a second and then it went away Um but I got some stuff from the convenience store the con beini So I’m going to just chill the rest of the night eat my snacks and go to bed early I plan to sleep in tomorrow I don’t have any I’m in no rush you know i’m going to try and like slow the tempo for the last few days of this trip because Tokyo was like crazy and this is the last thing that I actually have booked Granted Mary did recommend some stuff that I could book It wasn’t tours but it was like a package ticket type thing I might do that Probably not though Um I have to look at the ticket and see what see what it includes But but see even that Mary suggested this whole like ticket situation Um oh I just realized I didn’t put any earrings in Well that’s unfortunate Anyways um yeah I’m just going to wash my face and get ready for bed and eat my snacks And that’s going to be it for tonight I know for sure tomorrow we’re doing Osaka Castle and Park and then I’d like to get some footage I saw Dotenbury which is like this very busy drinking area Um I saw it but I didn’t obviously record any of it So I’d love to get some footage of that Um but yeah that’s going to be it for today I’ll see y’all tomorrow Bye If you can book Mary during the Osaka bar hopping tour She’s a saint I maybe can try to like include something on the screen or in the comments of all the stuff that I booked for everybody I probably will end up doing that anyway So look in the comments Um or look in the not the comments the [ __ ] body You know what I’m talking about Look look look look there for links to the things that I’ve done on this trip if you want to do them as well And Leaven Levan was the Mount Fuji tour guide And Mary is my Osaka bar hopping tool I literally told her I was like “This is like hanging out with a friend.” And she was like “Oh I agree.” She literally she did a little jump She was like “Oh I agree.” She’s so cute So cute Anyways honestly before I go I will say the most conversation that I’ve had is with people that had been older than me The girl there was a girl on my tour um to Mount Fuji and she was older than me and Mary’s older than me It is what it is But I’m hot So I’m going to take all these [ __ ] clothes off and chill Bye Love y’all See you tomorrow Good morning It is currently 10:26 I’m headed to a Happy Pancake They make these like really thick uh pancakes and that’s where we’re going to have breakfast And then um I’m going to go to this place called Super Potato It’s got like vintage games and stuff I’m going to get a new Nintendo uh 64 controller for my little brother And then we’ll see where the day takes us I want to get some chopsticks engraved and then go to um Osaka Castle and Park So also did I say this before i don’t know if I said this in the um earlier but I think I’m in a Love Motel area I’m literally looking at a sign that says Love L Doll Hotel Let me show y’all Anyways I’ll see y’all at a Happy Pancake for breakfast I’m actually really really hungry So let’s go We’re just wearing some jeans my Onsuka Tigers a Metallica shirt and then this jacket I’ve been wearing this jacket so much so I didn’t pack that many clothes Anyways look at this pretty view Going across the little bridge Oh so cool So cool So cool Off to Happy Pancake Yum Yum Yum Delicioso [Music] Finally [Music] Oo Kiwi apple strawberry Orange juice
Yes Thank you And the orange juice as well I’ve been waiting for like so good I’ve been waiting for including sitting in line Yeah 2 hours maybe Yeah Insane [Music] [Music] Okay honest review Um not worth it Not Not worth it Happy pancake Mm-m Mm- Um it tasted good but the line to get it was like an hour and a half which is insane Um and then waiting for the food took a whole like about 30 more minutes And then it doesn’t come with syrup I got the fruit one as y’all thought and it doesn’t doesn’t come with syrup So that kind of like you know it is what it is But yeah I’d say the food itself maybe like a 7 out of 10 Excuse me If you like egg you’ll like it Very fluffy Texture is great Um it smells like egg Doesn’t really taste like egg It smells like it Um but yeah the whole experience of having to like wait that long and stuff makes it not really worth it though in my opinion We’re on our way to get some custom chopsticks right now though So let’s go that [Music] way Very cool Mr Wow these ones are kind of cool too I have a few So many [Music] What to choose if it has a red sticker you can get it engraved Oh here’s some clear ones That’s cool [Music] [Applause] Look like pencils Cute [Applause] Okay I’m back in the room just for a little bit just because So y’all know my suitcase broke It’s been good It’s been good fun Um I just bought a new one I bought a carry-on and a new suitcase So that’s fun But I picked up the chopsticks Okay so they said um most people don’t get um their name engraved in red on their chopsticks because I guess it like it’s like wishing some of that person like death upon that person So I only got myself um let me flip it around and show y’all So these are mine if it’ll focus Cassidy and that’s my name in Japanese And then these are my best friends Danielle Hers are like sparkly on the other side And then I got my brother a pair as well Let’s focus focus focus All right Oh there it is Dakota and his name in Japanese as well Then I just

I need to make sure I have time to um like do my suitcases and stuff But I really want to go to this place called Super Potato cuz I haven’t got my older brother anything besides these chopsticks So I need to find him something And Super Potato is like a gaming place So I’m also going to try and look for an a legit uh Nintendo 64 controller Um but yeah it’s kind of raining right now so I’m not in any hurry But I’m glad I found somewhere that I could get these chopsticks engraved cuz yay they look so cool I actually feel like I should have got gold just cuz I think it would have looked better But is what it is Anyways wish me luck I’m going back out there burying the rain and the bumper to bumper traffic Yeah it’s really crowded in some of these uh side streets I think tonight I’m going to actually you know I’ve been saying I’ve really liked yaki soba Um I think I’m gonna order like a full plate of it tonight um for dinner because I really really liked it and I didn’t want to eat you know an excess amount last night when I was doing the tour cuz that’s I don’t know if I actually mentioned that Um the tour guide we like got to pick some food and she picked yaki soba and so I got to try yaki soba and it was so so so good It was so good And so now I really want to get some cuz I only ate like a little bit cuz we were like sharing plates and stuff and I didn’t want to like gorge myself on the yaki soba that she ordered you know But uh I could have I could have ate that whole plate licked it clean licked it clean But anyways going to go back out there I really don’t want to though Vacationing is not It’s not easy Anyways let’s do it Let’s just get it over with Okay I’m a good sister I found it right here Right here Legit Nintendo 64 controller You’re welcome little

want My older brother wants expensive stuff He wants like new keyboard new mouse new head gaming headset a new Xbox controller Like I’m trying but first off Xbox was not really like popular here But uh Oh a new Nintendo case Like I’m trying I haven’t found any of those things I found Magic the Gathering cards and uh Tamagotchi and chopsticks I feel bad Hopefully I find something soon for him We’ll see Guys obviously I’m back in the hotel room and I got dinner and guess what it is yaki Soba Um I finally found my brother His [ __ ] Nintendo thingy And then I also found my other brother Where is it [ __ ] [ __ ] brothers You know right his Xbox controller He knows exactly what he want what he’s getting because I called him earlier and he was actually awake and I showed him it I was like “Which one do you want because I don’t know what the [ __ ] I’m doing.” Um and I told him I was like “You can only get one thing Like I can’t get you a keyboard a mouse a headset and an Xbox controller I’m not that rich.” Um and then I turned around and dropped like $400 on myself Oh well Um it was at this like thrift store that I walked past when I was like on my way to um Super Potato which is where I bought the Nintendo uh Switch for my brother And I was like I really want to go in there If I can find it on my like way back and stuff then I’ll go And I was I was literally like going to give up Um and I was typing in my um hotel and then I like kind of recognized the area and I was like I think it’s this way if I go right And I found it and I spent so much money there But it was all secondhand Um secondhand marked way up But I got two pairs of baggie like baggie jeans which I was like “Yeah oh my god they fit.” Which I was so happy about And then I also found some oversized shirts Like I I just love a good like I don’t care what the okay I care what the graphic is but like I want a cool oversized graphic tea and like finding those thrifted is so hard even in the states where like Goodwill is like an abundance of [ __ ] Um like I will get a one good one every like couple months and I found two Harley-Davidson shirts that I could not figure out which one I wanted and then this other um like band tea And then I also got this dope jacket I actually have the jacket out and um a pair of the whatever a shirt So I’ll show y’all Okay I’m actually gonna wear this outfit tomorrow That’s why I don’t have it packed up I’m packing my suitcase up cuz we go to Kyoto tomorrow This is one of the Harley-Davidson shirts I got So good So good And then these just like baggy jeans Also so good And they fit like they’re snug around the waist but they’re so baggy Like I can’t tell you how happy I am Like I was going to spend any amount of money because it’s so hard for me to find [ __ ] like that Um and I know people are like “Order online order.” I don’t I don’t know The lady was like “What’s your size?” And I was like “I don’t know I don’t know.” This is the jacket I got It’s going to be so cool for the winter It’s got a dope green lining inside pockets It just feels like so good Oh jeez Is it not like so cool i love it I love it It was probably the more expensive piece but it’s just so it’s just so cool Um she told me she was like “We just got this in like today.” And I was like “That’s mine I’ll take that Put it in the bag.” So my sister-in-law she wanted um something with Bulbasaur So I got this from Super Potato And then she wanted a bento box and I found this Baymax one So hopefully she likes that I don’t really know Honestly it was the only like decent one I could find And then this is Magic the Gathering I have no idea what’s in here but they were the most expensive packs so I was like “Oh we’ll get those.” Um yeah I think that’s it I think that’s all that I got So I’m going to pack all this up Um I can’t decide if I should Okay so I have two big suitcases now right because my mind broke I have two big suitcases and now a carry-on Um I think for the most part I’m going to fit all my gifts and stuff in the carry-on except for the stuff I got at um Donote because you it’s uh too much liquid for the plane you know But um I can’t decide if I should just like what do you do with your suitcase when it breaks and you’re in Japan like should I just leave it at the hotel they’ll probably charge me like a disposable fee But that’s okay cuz I mean like what the [ __ ] am I going to do with it you know um or should I just have two giant suitcases i don’t know I think I’m going to make that decision as I um pack everything away and see like kind of where we’re at I still have Kyoto to do I I’m kind of I’m kind of sad that I didn’t do Osaka Castle and Park but I don’t know If I wake up early enough maybe I’ll go take a quick taxi over there but probably not So I really need to wash my face You know I thought that my acne would get better while I was here I think I need to up my trend now And again I’m on like 05 I was on 025 and then I went up to 05 I think I need to go up to like a 01 or something I’m going to make an appointment when I get back home cuz I Anyways I could go on and on about my [ __ ] adult acne that I struggle with but I will spare you guys the details unless you want a video regarding my acne and like the the [ __ ] I’ve been through because it’s really it’s it’s it’s a journey and um I didn’t really have anybody to turn to that had like adult acne to my extent Um nobody in my family did So it’s been My niece struggles with acne too and she’s 16 So I’m like at least like I get I go through it with her and like she has somebody to go through her struggles with with her acne So I’m going to stop rambling Love y’all Waiting on the consent to go to Kyoto Hopefully I get there in time to drop my bags off Um cuz there’s not check in until 4 but you can drop your box out bags off till 4 Fingers crossed I make it I tried to eat this sandwich from the little station here um while you’re waiting for your train Not very good Not bad but I don’t like cold food [Music] Um so I just got here I’m slightly irritated Trying not to be too annoyed but they told me that I could check in drop my bags off till 1:00 and it’s currently 12:35 and the door is locked So that’s really fun I just want to drop my shirt off and go get something to eat I’m so hungry Um I called them and she said she’s going to some staff or something I don’t know I don’t know Honestly if she didn’t answer I was like this close to going to get a hotel because I don’t want to just sit out here for [ __ ] 3 hours Although there is a park right there Right there I think Anyways so we’re just waiting Why say that you can drop your bags off till one if nobody’s going to guard the desk like it says that people won’t be there after 1 and that’s why you need to do it till one Anyways I’m going to stop being annoyed Here’s the location though It’s It’s like a storefront and then the rooms are in the back I’m just going to do some steppy steps get some exercise Oh here’s my fit by the way I think somebody’s going to get in trouble They just called me again and said that their staff left early and they didn’t let them know which is crazy because I’m looking at my messages right now They had asked me like “What’s my expected arrival time?” And so I told them like a couple days ago and I said “Good evening my expected arrival time will be around 12:30 It’s now 12:39 So like and then they responded and knew and they’re like “Wait so please be there before 1:00 If it’s after 1:00 please come to the normal check-in time blah blah blah.” Um he uh the husband of the owner of this business called me and was like “Can I just give you the code?” And I was like “Please just give me the code It’s perfectly fine.” Oh he just sent it So let’s see if uh I can get in Okay Dropped my suitcases off Isn’t it pretty though wow But I don’t want to stay cuz I uh technically can’t even check in So let’s

I traveled ₊˚⊹♡ SOLO ♡⊹˚₊ to Japan for my first international trip as a graduation gift for earning my Master’s in Marketing! My mom and I flipped a coin to choose between destinations.. domestic or international, the UK or Asia … Singapore or Japan.
Throughout this trip, I feel like you can really see my growth.. at least, I’m proud of me, so I hope you watch them all through to see that!
