  • @yhi2401
    Japanese here!! I am so happy that you had a great time and a great food while you were in Japan! It is unfortunate that you had to deal with the heat since this year has been one of the hottest summer in the past years😅 But watching you enjoying the food with your lovely mum made me smile from the beginning to the end of the video and it also made me proud of my culture somehow! I really hope Japan treated you well and you will come back again soon 😊 Love your videos always and thank you for being here for us!! With a lot of Love from Tokyo x

    i'm finally overcoming my ED after so many years of restricting, and I'm about to go on a long vacation and your video has brought me so much comfort, peace, and sound advice for the mental battle that's slowly creeping up on me regarding eating during the vacay. Thank you for always knowing exactly what to say and helping me overcome my fears ❤
