hey guys welcome to a new background I'm
in Canada I wasn't planning on coming
back this summer
it's always nice though because I love
escaping the Japanese summer but I
decided to kind of last minute because
my grandpa was having surgery and I
wanted to be around while he was
recovering I'm just here for a kind of
short ish trip my friend Nicole is going
away and I told her I'd take care of her
cat so I need to be back in Japan in
time for that so I'm just in Canada for
a little under two weeks but I'm happy
that I could get a ticket and it all
worked out and I can stay with my
grandpa for a bit so I just arrived here
two days ago
I've been to the chiropractor twice
already to work on my neck because it's
still kind of messed up from that time
that I told you guys about it started
about a month ago and it's definitely
like to the point where I can function
normally it doesn't bug me too much but
when I sleep it starts to hurt a lot but
I went to the chiropractor and he
cracked it it was really gross I've
never had that done before he like
twisted it to the side and cracked it a
bunch and cracked my back and did some
like really painful massage and it was
actually a lot better at last night so
hopefully it'll be even better again
tonight we'll see and I also bought this
ridiculously expensive pillow when I
figured it's worth it because I'm just
so terrified of messing up my neck again
I don't know if I slept on it wrong like
my pillow sucks and I'm sitting in the
wrong angle I don't know but I spent
like a hundred dollars on this pillow
but it's all really good last night so I
think it was a good investment it looks
like this it's this really interesting
shape if you lie on your back then you
put your head here and this supports
your neck and it's really comfortable
but unfortunately I'm not a back sleeper
I cannot sleep on my back unless that
there's like no other way for me to
sleep when my neck was really in pain I
had to sleep on my back but it took
forever to fall asleep Sandara - people
on my side and if you sleep on your side
then you can use either this side or
this side and he measured my shoulders
to make sure that this would be the
perfect height for my head and there
were like five different sizes of this
pillow so it's made to fit my body so I
think it's a good investment
it's got a five year warranty so yeah
feels old but this is the kind of stuff
I buy when I come back home now so today
I'm hanging it with my sister we're
going to go to the lake it's a very warm
day for Victoria my family lives in
Victoria BC Canada for those of you they
don't know that and today is going to be
about 24 ish degrees I think so it's a
pretty warm summer day here we're going
to go to the lake and go swimming with
some of her friends so I'm super excited
because I love swimming in the lake
that's one thing that I really miss
living in Japan people do not swim in
lakes there because I guess they're
dirty I don't know every time I I ask
like oh can you swim in this lake people
are like oh my gosh it's just not
something they do in Japan and I miss it
so much because I love like swimming we
have really really clean pretty Lakes
here in Victoria so we're gonna go to
sea just like today and I'll bring you
guys once shame aid these awesome banana
muffins last night I've already ate most
of mine but I have one left so I'm going
to bring it to the lake okay she put
chocolate chips in her as I like some
just plain they're so good
I'm just going to make a sandwich with
these Gardein golden sleeves they're so
good they taste really similar to like
fish and chips fish but they're made
with soy I'm assuming anyway they're
delicious oh yeah I'll make a sandwich
suppose before we go to the beach
[Music]
let me introduce you guys to the cats
before I forget whoa it's really bright
mocha is out here on the porch monkey
what say hi
I got mocha when I was 13 she was a
birthday present for yeah for my 13th
birthday so she is 18 years old now
she's deaf but other than that she's
doing pretty well good girl good girl
all our copper girls here let's see if I
can find the other one now
there you are thought you were in there
good girl good girl good girl
so chanel is from Japan and when I moved
back to Canada the first time I brought
her with me
and I didn't want to travel with her
anymore because it's really stressful so
now she lives with my parents happy girl
like the Sun she's the same breed as
Luna happy girl
she must be at least eight years old now
maybe nine I can't remember what year
she was born this is Jade
maybe Jade how you doing she had eye
surgery could be remedy recently yeah
for the third time and her eyes are
finally healed up her eyelids were like
slipping to the inside and then her
eyelashes are stabbing her eyes or
something Oh nuts to having but now
while they were also no they were always
infected so they great now he gave her
some eyelid surgery yeah the best
they've ever looked
and then her sister is somewhere we
zooming my sisters we just found them
outside when they were really young
looks like we live in a jungle pick off
the foliage vanity yes my bedroom window
it was awesome I can't find the last cat
so you guys don't get to meet blue yet
she basically looks like Jade but
smaller we are at the lake I was
doubting that it was going to be hot
enough today to swim but after hiking up
here is definitely a vanity so I'm I'm
so out of breath so sweaty so how's this
comparing to Japan summer uh well
there's no humidity here yes which is
awesome it feels hot but it doesn't feel
unbearable which is a nice change
yeah and at nighttime I get so cold here
that it's kind of nice postpartum
estrogen a different version kinda chick
kind of hot all day all night constantly
grow so we're walking through the forest
right now there's like a main beach
where the majority of people swim but we
don't want to go there super carded
usually we're going to walk around the
lake and try to find like our own
private area
now you can find a little oh there's a
part yeah looks like there's quite a few
people's the main beach having a picnic
before going swimming
get out subway and berries and
strawberries and we got muffins brought
too much people think we need those mmm
is this the side of the lake you're
planning on swimming in now okay this is
definitely not the way I went on Tuesday
what come on we think it might go
somewhere because I think it's going to
be clicking here
I believe this turns into the so it's
like 45 minutes later or something and
we arrived at our spot like is this a
different lake or is it like a Percy
this is in the heart of the other lake
but there's barely any people here maybe
16 people it's really nice and I have
this to put over top to make it
we made it back alive
so it was fun the water was actually
really warm first kind of stuff but as
soon as you get in it warm that really
fast
usually the wind now we're going to add
some more something on the convolution
what is it boss now
[Music]
we're back home now I can finally
introduce you guys to blue cuz I found
her blue to see hi
hey this is blue we named her blue and
her sister Jade because she had blue
eyes when she was younger and Jade had
green eyes but now they both have yellow
eyes so their names make it absolutely
not that okay to corral her and chanel
