    You're 100% correct. Long haul flights is stressful and I too have bad anxiety while flying so much that one time I had a panic attack when my seat was switched to middle and not asile. You would've thought someone passed away the way I was crying and hyperventilating. 🤣🤦🏾‍♀️ They did switch my seat and that's when I realized middle and window seats made my anxiety worse b/c it made me feel even more closed in. Being on a plane make me feel claustrophobic. So, I can only do asile seats or I cannot fly, I'll walk. 😂

    Your Mum must be SO excited to see you after four years. I say this as a mum of a 23 year-old son and I can't imagine not seeing him for so long!

    The year that COVID hit, I wanted to stay in Japan for a month rather than the couple of days I was there on a cruise. Then maybe staying a month in Shanghai on another trip since I fell in love with the city on mu short stay there as well. You have inspired me to make my plans again! Good to see that you finally made it home.

    It is very uncomfortable on flight especially if you sitting in the middle seat.

    I love Tokyo! The only place I've visited and never had a bad encounter or feeling from the locals. The food is delicious. I live for the creativity w/ the restaurant themes. It's so different in a great way. It's a city I recommend that everyone visit.

    • @AleeseLightyear
      @AleeseLightyear  10 месяцев назад

    So cute to see your Tokyo vlog the day after I land home from my trip to Tokyo! Already giving me vacation nostalgia feels. It's way too easy to fill hours in that city and I can't wait to go back. Hope you have a restful time back here in the US!

    Woman, I wish you had a 44-hour layover, as it would provide more opportunities to capture footage of your journey through Tokyo.

    • @AleeseLightyear
      @AleeseLightyear  10 месяцев назад +1

    WHAT is going on with the algorithm where your vids haven't been on my TL for months?!?! 😢😢😢

    Oh, and when exactly were you in Tokyo? We might've been there at the same time.

    • @AleeseLightyear
      @AleeseLightyear  6 месяцев назад +1

    Would you recommend the hotel? How was your experience? The size is fine to me w/ what you've shown.

    • @AleeseLightyear
      @AleeseLightyear  10 месяцев назад

      Like I said in the video, I was only there to sleep and for that it was fine. I think the location was great as it's next to the subway and in a central spot. I didn't spend really much time there lol
