Oh really? We've never been to Haidilao actually but that's funny lol

I think it depends on the restaurant but there are definitely restaurants that have forks, spoons, and knifes. It just depends on the type of restaurant you go into.

Hello, thanks for watching! The Otter Cafe is located on Takeshita shopping street in Harajuku. We just walked up to the attraction -- no reservation. We only waited about 10 minutes to get in.

While we were there, we had a local friend provide tickets for us. You can visit the Chez Ali Fantasia website: chez-ali.ma/ Depending on where you purchase from, it may not be that odd for the driver to collect payment upon picking you up.

@@SofieAndStephen Thanks for the prompt reply. I am using a different site than what you shared. It was provided by my AirBnB. I'm trying to contact the vendor through the link you shared. Thanks so much!

@@PaliGirl71 It's possible that your Airbnb provided a 3rd party that could be legitimate. But it's always good to double-check and be aware. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Viva Mexico!

Yes you are right. I should've said Moroccan nights! Fantasia was very fun and enjoyable. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for pointing that out! We spend a lot of time choosing the music for the different parts of the video since music can really impact the feeling of a scene. Thanks for watching!

Glad we could help you out. Thanks for watching!

Glad we could help out. Thanks for watching!

Hello! Yes, we understand your concerns about the ethics of the Otter Cafe. The otters seemed to be well-treated and taken care of. And the employees have a lot of respect for the animals. We can only hope that the otters are treated with the greatest care in there. Thanks for taking the time to watch our vlog :)

❤ 30:37

@@starglitter3341 Thanks for watching! What did you like about 30:37? Was that your favorite part? :)

Here's the Amazon link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07YQ2LGBV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title 100% worth it. The mat in the back row doesn't fit 100% but it works well. Everything else fits amazingly.

Thanks for your kind words! Before Osaka, while we were in Kyoto Sofie bought a keychain that had bells on it. Unfortunately while walking you can clearly hear the bells in the video. It was not something we wanted but it ended up being very clearly audible in the videos. We'll be sure not to include these bells in future videos :)

Hello! Thanks for watching! We booked this ryokan through Booking.com. But you can also book through Expedia.com as well. We booked this ryokan about 2-3 months in advance but I'd recommend booking even further in advance or as soon as you possibly can. These ryokans in Hakone get booked fast! We are going back to this ryokan in November and booked through Booking.com a couple weeks ago.

It’s called Mizunoto

Everything was really fairly priced! Great prices! Cheaper than the U.S. for sure.

@@SofieAndStephen sick that alone wants me to visit it

@@Itsjumbomuffin you gotta go, just do it, no ragrets

@@SofieAndStephen XD I’ll get that tattooed once I’m there as well - ayy lmao

@@Itsjumbomuffin Lol we'll be waiting! Thanks for watching btw!

Yes, when you arrive I'm sure a good portion of the day will be gone from the traveling. So we would recommend visiting the historical sights first since it won't take that much time. Miyajima would be good for the second day since you'll have a full day to take the train & ferry out to Miyajima and won't be rushed to explore the island. Miyajima was definitely our favorite part of Hiroshima. Enjoy!

@@SofieAndStephen Thanks.

Apologies for getting it wrong! Thanks for the correction. And thank you for watching!

Great suggestion! Timestamps have now been added. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

@@SofieAndStephen oh wow that was so fast. Brilliant! Thank you guys, much respect to you and your work :)

@@JRShowing The timestamps were a great suggestion. Anything to help our fans! Thanks for your kind words! :)

This vlog was filmed in mid-November of 2023.

Chicago was a great time!

Thanks for the great feedback, your kind words, and for subscribing!

We only had a few days in Chicago so we'll have to go to the Science Museum of Industry the next time we're there. As well as Lou Malnati's! We love deep dish and will try them all!

Yeah it was a pretty cool market and food court. We'll have to visit it again when it's not so packed.

Thank you! It's one of my favorites! - Sofie

Why not both? We're big foodies so we like to show off the foods we eat on our travels. Thanks for watching.

Do you want us to provide some affiliate link? lol

Awhh that means a lot! We're glad you enjoyed the video so much! Check out our other videos to follow us on our other adventures :)

Actually Stephen is an Aries and Sofie is a Virgo :)

Thanks for watching! We flew out of Tampa International Airport and flew United to Washington DC and then All Nippon Airways (ANA) to Tokyo. The main Japanese airlines are ANA and Japan Airlines (JAL). But I also see American and Delta fly to Japan as well. In the end, it doesn't matter too much which airline you fly unless you really want to fly a Japanese airline with a Japanese flight crew, Japanese airline meals, etc. But I'd probably just choose the airline with the best ticket price during your travel dates :)

I think Navy Pier could be worth going to. I think we just went at the wrong time when everything was closed. But it seems like they have a great selection of restaurants and shops to explore there. The Sky Deck was cool but yeah you only get to go up there for a minute and then you're done. Thanks for watching!

@@SofieAndStephen i am going chicago in sept! so this was helpful! ty!

@@wawawho18_adventures Awesome! Have fun!

Stephen isn't a big egg sandwich guy but Sofie loved the egg sandwich lol Stephen would prefer eating the pork cutlet sandwich or an onigiri.

@@SofieAndStephen haha that’s awesome! I’ve heard it’s tasty so thank you for confirming 😂

We loved Miyajima! It's a cool island with great views. Thanks for watching!

@@SofieAndStephen For sure ! :D

I'm not sure if you can actually make an appointment, but we were able to walk in and only wait about 10 minutes to get in. So not too long of a wait. Thanks for watching!

@@SofieAndStephen Got it, thank u so much！

Hello, yes I am actually half vietnamese, half chinese. The onsen we were at was located at the ryokan we stayed at, which is called Mizunoto.

@@SofieAndStephen Thanks Stephen. My wife is half too and she can dabble both Vietnamese/Cantonese.

btw I sent you an email w/questions. Thank you Stephen

@@bryandang8589 That's funny because my Chinese background is also Cantonese. My family is from Guangdong province.

Thanks for the amazing feedback! Hope you guys have a great time in Chicago! It's a fun city!

Sorry for the long hiatus! Life got busy and we procrastinated editing lol thanks for watching! We won't take so long to post the next one :)

Haha we actually didn't even notice this

Yes! Can't wait to come back soon!

Hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

Omg thanks for all the kind words! We really appreciate the feedback! Glad you enjoy our videos. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Glad we could help you out! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! More to come soon!

Hello! Thanks for watching! We booked all of our hotels only 2 months ahead of our stay dates. However, I'd definitely recommend booking your accommodations as soon as you can. We were pretty late with booking accommodations :)

We didn't have enough time but next time we go to Morocco we will have to go to Casablanca to see the city and the mosque!
