Good morning everybody. I hope you're doing well.
I am in Tokyo right now.
And today we're gonna go thrift shopping
So the last time I went through a shopping I bought
was probably my favorite jeans in my closet
These ones
We're gonna go for round two today
Because
Sharla and I didn't even scratch the surface that day
There are so many thrift and vintage shops in the harajuku,
meiji jingu, Shibuya area
I've got the whole afternoon to dedicate to this because I feel like
When you do these things you need to spend a lot of time and just look through everything
which I'm really excited for because I feel like I'm going on a treasure hunt
I have to catch my breathe, the transition was cool and worth it
Alright, let's go
Actually, I'm wearing two pieces I thrifted today
I thrifted these jeans here in Tokyo
and I thrifted this flannel shirt in Hong Kong
I think this was like
So right now we are in Meiji Jingu and our first stop is Kinji
Which is apparently a lot of people's favorite used clothing store. It is good for people on a budget
Apparently it has a lot of sportswear so we should be able to find a lot of trendy items right now
And you know, we're gonna start off here
The next place we're going to check out is called Chicago
They have a fewer locations, but the one we're at the one in Harajuku.
It has two floors and a lot of stuf
They have a big selection of Levi's jeans here for
4000 yen.
They also have a huge section of used kimonos and kimono accessory.
There are tons of vintage and thrift shops on this street
so if you see this moshi-moshi box
that main street
you go right next to this moshi-moshi box
You will find a lot
I just came through nearby cafe to have lunch, it is Brooks
and they have a lot of different options
So I'm going for this bento box
And I got a green smoothie and a water
So hungry it's already 3:30, and I'm just eating lunch now
So I didn't end up buying anything today, but I really enjoyed
Looking through everything and just taking my time
It's a rainy day
and by myself in Tokyo and it was nice to just walk around
The air is good and fresh here, and it's not that hot here. So
I just had a really nice day, just like keeping quiet to myself
Walking around and checking out clothes
even though I didn't buy anything
My boyfriend's working today and I'm going to meet up with him in a bit probably
Not sure what we're gonna do tonight.
We came a couple of days ago
Yesterday was like no
like a day and a half ago
and we've spent we spent the time just like walking around and doing nothing really just like
Mostly eating I would say,
We really want to hit up a lot of our favorite restaurants
We used to go to when we lived here
So every day we just have plans but I feel like that's the case wherever we travel everyday
We just have plans for eating and what we do between we're not really sure
Bento box is like some red rice with quinoa
Vegetables, tomato, sauce and it was like falafel
chickpeas
I noticed a couple differences here now,
even from then I was just here
when was I here last
Forget but
There's new taxis here
and the taxis here are the best, are super clean, really friendly
really really nice
But then the actual physical taxi like in London is the best because it's super big
But now they have the same taxis as there are in London
with the Japanese service combined.
So I think is probably for the Olympics
But now Japan officially has the best taxi service ever.
Also notice some double-decker buses driving around doing tours around Tokyo
which is really cool for tourists
cause then you can like get on and get off and go around everywhere and
We get to see more Tokyo rather than going underground on the trains
when you're driving around you can see a lot the same time
I was like, oh, I don't want to have to change too much
like I like it to still look a little bit traditional and not too
Western. I don't know, I don't know how I feel.
I just wanted to stay the same
It is changing a lot. It is getting ready for the Olympics
It is definitely more foreigner friendly
It's actually pretty cool
Alexa actually introduced me to it before
And I don't know if I mentioned in a video but they grow their own like herbs and vegetables here
Right there, lot of plants
So if you're shopping in this area and you want something
Healthy and fast
because you can literally just grap the food and pay for it
come here
We just got in a taxi I was talking about earlier but
This will look like the London taxis because there's only a seat on one side, but it's much more spacious
We're in Shibuya now, we're going to one of our favorite restaurants
All their stuff here is like farm-to-table from local farms or breweries and they say like which family owned it
We're back in the hotel room now, we're gonna head to the gym get in a good workout. It's only 8 p.m
And then you probably just stay in and watch YouTube
Good morning everybody, is another rainy day in Tokyo.
Yesterday we just went and saw some friends
and I didn't really film anything besides these snapchat
I'm wearing the comfiest like I don't know how to explain it. I feel like a lamb
It's so comfy.
I am going to wear this oversized trench coat is supposed to be this size
It's actually from style nanda and it only comes in one size
So it would be even bigger on most people in Korea. So it's supposed to be this big.
I don't know, It's a cool? I think it's cool
Fashion is big and ugly now.
Let me be
big and ugly
Finally the sleeves on something in Asia fit me
Usually the sleeves are too short and this part is like up here.
Now it's too big for me
The times have turned, the foreigners fit in the clothes, actually
actually no, their clothes are too big for the foreigner
Finally my turn.
I kind of look like Inspector Gadget
Venus is gonna show up looking all cute
and like this little angel she is
and I'm gonna be like her big bodyguard on the side
I'm here with Venus
We just went to the best cake shop to check out cakes for my nephew's birthday
and now we are doing shrooms
So Venus found this amazing mushroom place
so this is this contains 30 mushrooms, you said
It's a soup and then we can cook all these mushrooms inside
We also have chicken and some different veggies
and they have all different sauces to dip into them, which I love
and we've got a timer if we want to be exact
because these are supposed to cook for three minutes
exactly
Yeah, we have the whole place
I don't know if you know this, but I rented this all out for you
because I'm about to propose.
These ones, I'm really excited about.
I've never seen this type of mushrooms before
Guys this mushroom was so good.
Got all that like earthy, complex flavors of a mushroom
but it's like a sponge inside
so it soaks up all the soup and when you bite into it, it's like
an amazing mushroom
Explosion in your mouth it's so good
So we are now inside
We're inside Midtown.
I want to take Venus to my favorite dessert place
She refuses to eat ice with me, but
it's because you want to eat ice freezing cold there
You have to try
ok, wait, this is the prettiest dessert place they have really pretty wagashi
Oh, it is pretty. oh my god
Look how pretty
oh my god. I know.
I just introduced Venus to my favorite little deli shop Dean & Deluca
and she's going around trying all the sample
And loving it
Sure
Look at the pasta
Oh my. I think I should get this for Mother's day.
Yeah, I think that's adorable you could put together like a hamper yeah like
this could be the main course and then your cake that you got could be the dessert
and then yeah all goes together
and I should get a pasta sauce as well
It's really unique
My favorite thing in here is the muffins
I love the cookies - they're always so cute
Especially the seasonal ones
they have ones for spring now.
I usually get them for Halloween or Christmas, but
Have really cute ones
I just like to have them on the table because I think it makes the countertop look brighter and more cheerful
Chocolate Mint popcorn
What? Chocolate- mint is the best flavor of ice cream. Oh my god
and I love popcorn
I don't usually like green tea flavored desserts
or anything really, except for the actual tea
But for some reason this one works
because it kinda come out like tea is like water
with anyway, so I got red bean underneath
And you just mix it together and it is such delicious flavor, and I also got coffee
I am back in my hotel now.
I have such a nice day with Venus.
Eating and talking that's all we literally did for four hours
it's keep eating and talking
I am gonna give my boyfriend his chocolate and
I don't know how I'm gonna see what he's up to, maybe I'll do little bit of editing
Here we go
We just went to the bookstore and to the convenience store to get some drinks and snacks
and took a couple Instagram pictures and
Now we're back. I think we're it's quite cold out, actually.
Now it's getting chillier and chillier
So we might just stay in. I think I'm gonna edit
Yeah
