episode 18 it has been a month since
I've been back from LA and even though
I've been going through a lot
I'm so grateful for all the love and
support that I have I'm so ready to live
life the way it should be lived and get
myself to experience a lot more
interesting and exciting things I was in
a lot of pain and sick for Golden Week
so I was eager to get out and do
something super fun with the girls it's
been a rough rough ride in Japan with
allergies and tolerances digestive
problems and like all sorts of weird
issues I appreciate all the people who
have talked about the things that have
happened to them and I've been
researching and reading there's more
stuff on holistic medicine than there is
conventional medicine and it's
surprising that people ignore so much of
it there's no natural doctors here Nero
Nero path is that what you call it
I've been looking and like I haven't
seen any anything if anybody knows about
like natural doctors to go to please let
me know even if they just speak Japanese
I'll go with ug and like we could talk
to somebody together because if I keep
taking antibiotics it's just gonna kill
all the gut good bacteria and it's gonna
make me sicker yeah I just want to cook
a lot here without using so many refined
sugars and processed foods and all that
stuff it's really hard to find organic
things I'm not gonna lie but I'm gonna
do the best that I can if I can I'm just
gonna eat you know the best that I can
so anyway I just wanted to update you
guys on that and yeah I'm about to head
out finally it's a beautiful day and I
just want to enjoy the day so let's go I
feel like a newborn trying to learn to
eat again at this point in time I have
received my endoscopy and there are some
things that I can do to heal for now but
there may be more testing in the future
an update will come in the next video
okay this is the first time I've been
out in five days and I'm seeing my
friends for the first time these girls
have been so amazing you guys are the
only ones who hear all my gross like oh
my god and you're still my friend like
amazing but we're going to do something
really chill to make Golden Week it's
super green we're gonna go to a cat
museum and then we're gonna go to a
gluten-free pizza place and then what's
our there oh yeah I wanted to go to
National Azabu to get some like healthy
snacks and coconut milk and all that
stuff I'm too afraid to eat anything now
so like I have to be super super careful
look at this what I can't going out has
been more difficult since I can't eat at
most restaurants but I'm reminded of how
in love and happy I am in my life by
visiting a temple somehow when I visit a
temple in Japan my body feels more at
peace
[Music]
I love this right so we're at a temple I
haven't been to like one of these in a
really long time place is pretty I know
it's so pretty
oh my god this is gorgeous I've never
seen anything like this before
oh it's so pretty okay I feel like
there's times where you just need to
like get out and like de-stress because
this is making me so like ten times
happier than I have been in the past
like five days this is just everything I
needed Oh such a nice day I'm lucky to
have amazing people who are there for me
especially the man about to marry
he's been my rock even from a distance
my family likes that I don't know they
usually eat healthier Kelly can't eat
anything anymore
I deserve cake okay I need to get a
fortune for my health no you don't like
I need to get out of here it's too many
bugs
I'm just we're just looking around cause
it's such a nice day
[Music]
okay so we have to take off our shoes
when we go into the museum so this'll be
this'll be interesting our shoes let's
take a moment to discuss another big
obsession in Japan cats this whole
museum is based on cats and when you
start to think Japan went a bit too far
with this the esthetic cat human thing
whatever you want to call it begins to
grow on you pretty quickly
the gato and hotel built in 1923 and
once called the palace of the dragon
king of the sea
has one notable space within its walls
and that is the 100 steps staircase the
staircase was preserved and you're able
to see it whenever they showcase
exhibitions therefore you can only see
it for a short time each year what's
strange though is a staircase only has
99 steps why you may ask well the number
99 signifies an open future so I think
Japan likes to worship cats cats are a
big deal
sit cat festivals or like videos and
like oh it's a Japan cat actually
they look so real these look so
incredibly real this is what I love
about Japan every Museum or exhibition
you go to takes you into a whole new
world distracting you from all the
craziness and stress in your life I was
so immersed in the artistic take on cats
and the architecture this beautiful
building showcased everywhere
[Music]
okay wasn't sure what your dipstick
whoa what the heck what is the purpose
of it the art pieces reminded me of how
beautiful life is think of how much
passion went into each figure and
painting and book it's pretty incredible
Japan likes to tell stories through cats
because cats are life even though Japan
has a lot of serious art types they also
like to not take things so seriously as
well am I missing something is this
country just one big metaphor yeah cat
Beck Apollo I Pau cats
[Music]
[Laughter]
I'm scared there he is there's my good
luck charm look at his face so I asked
my fiance what's this meant and
apparently it's a really good luck
because it says sivanna she on the back
I didn't read that the first but I knew
it I knew how to read it but it's
something gonna encounter touching
moments in the future so that's a good
sign
Gretchen got the worst one on that note
we left for Ginza to have some
gluten-free pizza I found that
eliminating gluten as much as possible
for my diet gave me more energy and
seized a lot of my stomach problems I've
been having and Cal came along for the
ride we're going to a place akai akai
[Music]
with your paper pepperoni okay they have
some like really cool stuff here you
have gluten free any of these pizzas so
it's really good
Hezekiah has regular gluten free and
vegetarian options the staff speaks
English and the pizza is a good size for
the price

gluten-free sausage and veggie and then
vegan cheese pizza right with with
vegetables and Lake Waccamaw you know
