Hey guys, I'm with Mikayla right now, we're in Shinjuku. We're going cake shopping. Yeah, cake shopping. Okay, it's keyboard san's birthday tomorrow
So I need to get a cake
But I'm in Tokyo, so I think the chances are high that I will be able to find a nice cake here
I've never tried to buy a cake in Tokyo, but I have the image. They have lots of cakes
We are in Lumine in Shinjuku, food and sweets
Did you see cakes?
I don't want those ugly birthday cakes though. You know what I mean.
I want like a no. I want like a fancy one.
I'm worried how well that would hold up though? Oh yeah. On my trip home. I feel like...
they box them up pretty well, yeah
Do something like a solid cake could be better. Oh those are cute. Oh, I might get them.
They're so cute. I like the macaron except
It's kind of weird that it has like a.. why does it have like an IV is it giving blood?
I think he like squirted it and then it has like, sauce that comes out
But it's like.. It's a little.. It's like stabbed in it's face
Mmm. So hungry, what is this place? It's a chopped salad bar. Oooh.
You wanna get salad? Yeah, maybe. It looks good
Focus. Cakes. okay. I think this is the only cakes they have in here. How is that DIY if it's not DIYs? (laughs)
Yeah, I'll just do a custom one I guess. Oh I think DIY's in the other store. Oh. Ohh!
Broccoli, Quinoa (ordering in Japanese)
Thank you very much.
Avocado
It looks like something Taylor would have in her house.
I would drink water all.. It's totally something Taylor would have.
She'd be like "guys, want some detox water?" Ooh, that's so interesting.
I like the idea of putting like, herbs in it too like thyme yeah, that sounds like it'll be really yummy
Okay Let's go.
Check out my salad, so, what did I get? I got broccoli, quinoa, sunflower seeds, avocado and
Something else which I forget it'll be a surprise (laughs)
And Mikayla got. Well I got an anti-aging nut salad because I am old that looks really good
Yeah. Looks like a really good combo of nuts. It better work. (laughs) It better. It better work.
And this water is so delicious. It's really good. And we're gonna enjoy our salad. See you later.
Mikayla got me a little gift. I know what it is because I know this store. (laughs)
So I wanted to get you like a.. Ohh it's so cute. Like a green tea. Is it a special christmasy one?
It's not christmasy but it's like one of their special occasions. Ohh, it's so cute!
If you open it it's so pretty.
It smells so good. It's so fruity. I can't wait to try it. And all the dried flowers. Is that a rose? Yes.
It's got rose petals in it. That's so cool.
Ooooh
Is it a journal? It's a planner. I haven't bought one yet.
Yay! Actually I was thinking of getting one because I wanted to organise my time better.
That's good. So I can write things down. This is super cute. I'm gonna use this
It's really cute.
Guess what that is? I cannot guess what this is. It's like, half an egg? (laughs)
Oh my god that's so funny actually.
uugh. Sharla, use less tape. (laughs) Sorry. Oh this is cute cat paper too.
Oh, these are all amazing. Ooh! It is! Is it soap? Yeah! It's an egg. It's literally an egg. Why are you sad?
It's for, it's that face from the meme.
Alright. We're back outside. The hunt for the cake and a present resumes.
Next stop, Isetan.
Expensive department store. They should have a nice cake.
We're gonna be famous, well our faces are going to be everywhere. Where are we? We're not on it!
Nooo! We wanted to be on the thing.
Alright back into the sea of departments store food. Let's hope we have better luck this time.
They're cute. Yeah like maybe something like that. Simple.
Woah, red velvet though. This one's red velvet. Red velvet!
Let's get him a princess cake. Yeah, look at these big ribbons. It's kind of a bride.
Oh, those are so cute. These look really nice. Aww. There's a chocolate one too.
The chocolate one looks really cute. I hate this kind of icing though. I wonder if he does.
It's like a wedding cake. Yeah.
Yeah that looks really good. Aww the heart's cute.
See like I want something like this, but in a cake form. Or like more glossy?
Yeah, like doesn't that look good like solid chocolate. I feel like he'd really like that.
Success. I found a cake.
We pre-ordered it, we're gonna come back and pick it up later because we've got a long trip home
and I'm scared if I get it now. It's gonna melt or, get all mushy or messed up
Or you'll trip an fall
Yeah, I could probably do that later too though, so let's hope that doesn't happen (laughs)
I'll show you guys the cake I got tomorrow. Alright, we got his present. The cake is ready to be picked up later.
Birthday stuff is done! Now we're gonna go meet our friend Sasha at her tattoo studio.
Yay, we found it! We got a little lost. It's getting very dark.
But it wasn't bad. It is very dark
This is where I got my tattoos done, so if you would like to come, that's their website.
it's in shinjuku-sanchome
They're very foreigner friendly. They have English-speaking staff.
English-speaking staff
Items because, you know, some people they don't know what to get. I've always wanted a kodama
I think you, you do this one a lot right because I see it on the Instagram a lot. yeah yeah yeah.
Which is really cute? Yeah, I feel like that would be perfect for like on my hands or something.
Oh it's 10,000 yen, you can get it today.
Let's do it. Let's do it. You actually can. How long does it take?
It's like, I don't know, like 20 minutes. I mean with preparation for 2 people like one hour.
That would be pretty, pretty quick I think.
And this guy, I think he got it for his mom or something.
I think like like one kanji and stuff. That's really cute. Oh, yeah. I like the closer you get to the.. Oh yeah this one?
That's cool
It's maybe from some game or something. I don't really know.
Oh, no it's like Kingdom Hearts isn't it I don't even play any games so I don't know but this one? Yeah yeah yeah.
Oh, that's Kingdom Hearts, yeah
yeah and a gigi, right? Gigi's cute. Yeah well, and another Ghibli. Kodama or like Totoro.
Yeah. That one, I love that one. Yeah that's really pretty.
Like the watercolour. Is it expensive? It is. Is it hard to do like the watercolour ones? Yeah.
Like this one for example is very popular too. It's 10,000 yen so. Are they all 10,000. Yes.
You had something like that right? Yeah that's what we covered up. (laughs)
That was a couple of years ago now. Yeah, the layout feels different.
It was you didn't have this desk here. I don't think you're a desk anywhere there were couches.
There were couches over there. That's where we took pictures.
We are checking outline okay, outline only. I would say this one would be 15,000 yen
15 15 15
Maybe 15. So then with colour, it's like, way more too right? It's way more expensive cause, yeah.
It takes more time, time is money, right? Mhmm
With color I would say maybe like 25 or 30 even, 25 maybe because it's not so difficult
It's only like, orange. Yeah. It depends what you want. If you want like super complicated shading or.. Yeah, then it'd be more.
Like for example this one would be like 60,000 yen if you want it done properly
and what I mean by properly, a lot of shading, details right.
That would be 60.000 but if you want it like just simple. Like just the outline. Then 45,000 is possible.
These are kind of cool.
I feel like these are thing that, yeah, tourists would love
Because they want to have like a memory of their trip and stuff. I thought this was like tacos for a second. (laughs)
If you're Mexican, go for it.
Was looking at it upside down, I'm pretty sure it exists, you know.
Taco Bell types of stuff. These are so cool too. Yeah, I think if I got one I would get like a sakura
but i'd want it coloured like, yeah water coloured. Yeah this. A water coloured sakura would be sweet.
He's so soft. aww.
(laughs) shh, don't tell Kit.
You're so cute!
(music)
Yeah, yeah. Go for it. Mikayla brought goodies.
Sharla didn't want one. I'm doing well. So i'm not like heartless.
Not eating any snacks or anything. Just in case people were gonna be like, she's heartless and only got 2.
'She didn't buy one for Sharla.' Can I actually? Yeah, go for it. It looks so yummy.
It matches your shirt, it's beautiful. This is the baby. He's only 3 months old. aww, you're so cute.
Yeah and he doesn't have one eye so his chances of being sold, I mean being bought by someone, were slim.
My cousin Sonya found him, my boss, he found him and he thought aw it has to be destiny.
He's so lucky he's so loved
Meanwhile this dog stole my jacket. He looks so comfortable. You look so comfortable in my jacket. Just making himself at home. Bundle you up.
So if you guys would like a tattoo I'll link this place down below. My friend Sasha is here to help you out if you don't speak Japanese
She's very lovely
She's very easy to talk to yeah. Yeah, she'll give you great advice so that you can find the tattoo that you want. They'll help you design it.
When you guys pick a flash tattoo.They have lots of flash designs now. And they have cute doggies.
I feel like I almost want to get a tattoo today. What would you get if you were getting it today? I would get a sakura.
I've always wanted to just have like, I don't want a.. I'm very afraid of like pain and making bad decisions (laughs)
There's always laser tattoo removal you need to worry about that any more. But that's even more expensive.
And it hurts more. I've always wanted something like on my wrist
I think like I would want to make like a tattoo, like bracelet
Like like kind of like a bunch a little little Sakura attached to it. I say you do it.
You could get the first, you could get the first one today. Get it started to get an idea for how it feels.
That's really tempting. I don't know.
You should get something before you leave like to remember like remember Japan.
a bowl of rice.
Get like the two chopsticks like this or something. (laughs)
I really don't want a bowl of rice. I think it's probably a good thing I don't work at a tattoo parlour. I have really bad ideas.
Do you want me to take you home with me? You should. I don't think my husband would be very happy. (laughs)
What about Maro and... I feel like they'd get along. Maro's a very dog like cat.
He'd probably get along better with the dog. I think that when it's a dog this small. They just think of it as like a really ganky cat.
Yeah. I wonder if they can tell. What you doing? Zero.
Bye. See you later. See you later. See you later. Bye bye. That was fun.
Yess. It looks so good. So we're at Ain Soph Ripple in Shinjuku now
For a fake chicken burger. That looks really good. Really, really delicious highly recommend if you're craving some
vegan junk food and we got a macaroni and cheese to share. I didn't expect it to be like that. What.
Oh you've never had it before? yeah, it's super creamy, we're gonna share that.
Is that like cashew cheese? I don't know actually. We always try to figure out what's in it, but.
Gotta work here. I want to work her so I can get the recipes and what did you get? I got a falafel burger.
