I’m so excited for your trip! I’ve been to Japan a few times. My daughter lives there with her Japanese husband and their kids. I think you should try to go next year in the end of March/beginning of April when the cherry blossoms are blooming.
That is so awesome that your daughter lives in Japan! Cherry blossom season sounds so pretty!
My husband and I have been to Japan twice, we love it ❤ This may be too much but... 1) Avoid Summer, its unbearably hot and humid, even people who live there hate it 😏
Spring would be beautiful, but late Fall is also quite lovely with warm/mild weather 👍
2) Make sure you get out to the countryside!! It's beautiful and well worth a quick train journey out of the bigger cities.
3) Rent a pocket wifi for internet on the go! You can order in advance for pickup at the airport. Don't bother with SIM cards, especially if you're traveling with other people. You can all use the portable wifi easily all day. 4) Bring a small hand towel with you each day, many air dryers were removed during covid and never came back. 5) Check to see if any festivals are happening when you're there. They can be crazy crowded, but fun if it's something you enjoy 😊 6) We always watch a lot of videos from locals before we travel somewhere, it helps us to pick out areas or places we are actually interested in visiting 🤷♀️
Ummm... I'll leave it at that 😂
Um, actually, yes, K-dramas ***do*** count as language study. You're absorbing the language. Listening to music in that language also counts, especially if it's a video that shows the lyrics!
Never been outside the US, but I would go to Europe
Europe is an awesome trip destination. If you go, definitely go to Edinburgh, Scotland. It is amazing! Also, I'm so glad K-dramas count. ☺️
I have definitely been inspired by things I've watched or read in the past when I've done creative writing. Cute photoshoot and those pictures turned out nicely. Have to enjoy the nice weather outside before it gets too warm and you want to stay inside where it's cool.
Aw, thanks! I really like the lantern photos! And the weather is so nice now. It is the perfect time to be outside. 😄
Weird complex emotions???!! That is my writing MO! I love psychology too and I absolutely get inspired from watching things all the time😆 I’m not a huge fan of violence, I do not like violence for violence sake scenes that are ridiculously bloody. Also, I love seeing you do photo shoots🙂 they’re very unique! Is it me or is the fairytale aesthetic just ✨✨✨
Awwww! Thank you! Some days I’m just like, “I need to do a photoshoot.” 😊 Also, I’m glad we’re on the same weird complex emotions writing team!!! 😄
@@ElectraDashwood great minds think alike😄
I had been to Japan so far, it was so amazing! I loved Kyoto for its beautiful gardens, old houses and temples and the all over smaller scale, but Tokyo and Yokohama were also great because of fantastic architecture … so I would recommend that 😊. Finally I will have to go again, for I have had not seen enough! But first I’ll visit South Korea for a few weeks, I will fly in two weeks to Seoul and I am already veeery excited!
Thank you for the tips! I am definitely putting Kyoto on my list of places to go! I hope you have a fantastic trip to Seoul. ☺️
your photographs make perfect drawing references! i’m definitely going to draw some of those❤
Ooooo! Please do! That would be so cool to see!
Such a cosy video, love the fairytale music! The sun is shining in my room and outside in my garden the world is full of green. However, I feel down because I long to go outside but feeling too tired and sick. So your video was so comforting and uplifting ❤
Aww! I hope you start feeling better! 💕
@@ElectraDashwood aw thank you 💕 hope you soon feel better too!
So excited for you! I'd love to visit Japan some day.
Aw! Thank you! I hope you get to go to Japan someday too! You can learn from all my mistakes as I vlog my trip so you know what not to do when you do go. 😂
A writer’s brain never stops storytelling. Every encounter lends to creating backstories or current plights of new acquaintances. Every color or sound creates a mood. The beautiful thing about writing is that you don’t have to live in reality. Don’t think too hard about the story, it will write itself.
19:03 “You mean, like, on vacay? LET’S ALL GO! ROAD TRIP!”
Road trippppppppp ✨
We went to Japan in March - I absolutely loved it. We flew into Yokohama and stayed at the Hyatt Regency. Wonderful hotel, central so we walked everywhere. Highly recommend Sankeien gardens, so gorgeous and peaceful. Ginza was fun if a little much. But some of the side neighborhoods were really cool. We missed the Imperial Palace (it closes early), but from what we saw on the outside it would be worth a trip. The people are so nice
Thank you so much! I just looked those places up and definitely want to check them out more!
Would love to see a video of the process of writing a novel and any tips you’ve found, I think it’s so interesting.
CNA Insider Dec 13, 2022 Have you thought of studying the Ainu culture as well as other indigenous cultures throughout the world? The Ainu culture of Japan 🇯🇵🗾 is similar to Indigenous Native American culture. As a matter of fact I would not be surprised some of the earlier people who trek across the Bering land bridge going east to present day Alaska were the Ainus. Just a thought 😊. See you in your next video 😊.
I love your big blue sun hat😊. See you in your next video 📹 your Awesomeness 😊.
Speaking of Korean content, you should check out Miss Mina. You’ll love her vibe.
I'll have to look her up!
Have you ver read Georgette Heyer?
I haven’t! But I heard her books are good!
love the music choices!
Aw! Thank you! I was having so much fun picking them out!
3:39 This is why I’m averse to action movies like why are y’all moving and hurting yourself?
Exactly! 😄
18:54 You should watch Max Miller’s videos on Japan.
Oooo, I'll have to look them up!
Japan's is at its most beautiful in Spring Time, that's when the cherry blossoms/sakura will be in bloom. It happens between end of March to first week of April. But it can come earlier depending which region it will be. From personal experience, Osaka & Kyoto are the places to fully experience Hanami (Cherry Blossom Viewing). Although Tokyo is also a great place to go, but Osaka/Kyoto has more historical sites and parks where you can really bask and take it all in. In Osaka you can venture into the food (the birthplace of Okonomiyaki, a japanese savory pancake), and then in Kyoto, which is the old capital of Japan, you can visit Gion or the Geisha District, Nara Deer Park and Todaiji Temple also located at Nara Park.
So best to book your trip between the last week of March to the first week of April. Highly highly recommend. My husband and I are planning to go there next year as well. Hope we can see each other if by chance!
That is so cool that you’re going too! If you do see me you should definitely come say hi.😊
Kyoto is super high on the places I want to go for all its history. I definitely need to look more into Osaka too. The cherry blossoms sound so pretty! I think one concern we have is we’ve heard that is peak tourist season so everything is super packed and busy and the prices are higher. So we’re trying to decide if we want to deal with that or go during a chiller time. But then again the flowers sound so pretty! It’s hard. 😂
@@ElectraDashwood I understand Spring and Autumn are peak seasons in Japan, so it is expected for crowds and high prices, but that is why booking early has advantages. There are business hotels that have a pretty decent price and it is at the city center..but the catch? Rooms are small. But if you will be exploring the whole day anyway, the room is pretty much just a place to sleep, take a shower, unload your shopping stuff and just rest for a bit. As for crowds, the good thing is, there are pockets of places where there are less people. Like at Nara Park, for sure people will be going for the deers but if you go to past the Todaiji Temple main and go further back and go up on a few flights of stairs, you will find Todaiji-Nigatsudo (February Hall) which has the sweeping view of the whole Nara Park, that place is not too crowded due to the fact it is higher up. Osaka Castle is also a great place to go and while it is crowded at the main castle, there are gardens you can chill and just admire the castle from another view as well as boat rides you can take (but that is expensive though, like USD 20 each person.) and also, TOKYU HANDS for art materials.
But my last advise is the best length of stay is ONE WEEK so you can really get in there and experience everything. I am actually excited for you. Keep us posted on your plans so we can help you out in anyway we can, from recommendations to tips on how to get around.
"Oh, there's a butterfly! Hi, butterfly. It's gone now" 😂🥰 You are so sweet, Ellie :) Hope you are doing better today and you have a great trip. You looked so pretty on your shoot. Also, the ending of Damsel is different from the book which is so much better. I think the posters and trailers made it self look like a violent film lol PD: I see you didn't saw my friend Jess being violently killed by a gorn on Strange New Worlds :p xd
I didn't even know it was based on a book! Though, I should have guessed. 😄 And yes, the gorn are far too scary!
@@ElectraDashwood lol. She had fun doing that scene. And improved a bit that Made it more real. Also, the gorn were on the season 2 finale so if you missed the episode, you missed how the season ends and the introduction of Scotty. The Damsel book was written along with the script, in the book ending they don't burn the castle. Also, you need to do reaction videos, it would be so much fun to see you freak out at a show or movie 😂☺️
My notifications didn’t tell me about this dropping today and I’m so upset. Thank goodness the front page reminded me. Also, you have such a pretty room.
Thank you home page! 😭 I wonder why the notifications aren’t working.
19:39 Just dedicate yourself to learning the basics. You’ll be fine.
That would require me to be reasonable and not perfectionistic. 😭
@@ElectraDashwood The perfect is the enemy of the good
16:38 It’s fabulous daywear
It’s the best way wear ✨
17:33 Omg I remember wanting to read this book. Happy to see you reading it.
It’s so good!
K-Dramas are a great way to learn Korean. It’s research.
Yesss 🔥 You get it. 😄
8:37 So pretty! It’s so fantasy.
Life is a fantasy. ✨
It’s the champagne flute with pink liquid for me. Fabulous 🎉
Pink filled champagne flutes are the pinnacle of life. 😄
