      My impression is that the Japanese, esp the older ones, are just very considerate and helpful. For example, my friend & I were staring at a map in a Japanese train station and we must have looked lost. All of a sudden, a middle aged gentleman (a commuter) came up to us and ask if there is anything he can help us with. So sweet and definitely not an ordinary gesture in my country (Philippines). I love Japan!

    The face shields for changing rooms are GENIUS - I used to work in retail when I was about 17 and I also got grossed out by the thick make-up streaks on tops.
    We have Uniqlo in the U.K. but we don’t have a lot of them (certainly not up North) so I always forget about it, but thank you for the reminder! I love the simplicity of their stuff and it’s always excellent quality. I am going to enjoy this video with my lunch 😊

    - The TSwift album is fire! Love it so much and it just keeps getting better as you listen!
    - Putting on makeup in a white robe? OMG It would have mascara and eye shadow all over it if that was me!
    - OMG the pottery class was amazing and your teacher has a great sense of humor! I can't wait for that video. I can't believe you are making the bowl. It's going to be gorgeous!

    Thank you for sharing your week! I'm a relatively new subscriber and I look forward to your videos! I've never heard of a music road before, but it's such a cool concept! The clothes at Uniqlo are so pretty- love modest fashion!

    The musical road is so cool! I’d love to experience that one day! In Australia we just have bumps on some main roads/highways that make a loud noise in case you fall asleep and drift off the road. $25 for the toll each way seems so expensive! Is that just in that area? So cute how Gus sat in your lap lol 💛
