    こんにちは。Hello, Remi. Those weeks happen. Rest is vital. Allow yourself to recharge without guilt. Focus on small tasks to regain momentum. Practice self-compassion; productivity ebbs and flows. Connect with loved ones for support. Healthy routines and mindfulness can help you stay grounded. Remember, taking care of yourself now means you'll return stronger. You've got this! 🌟

    Hi Remi! I have watched many of your videos and I really appreciate them. I am moving to Tokyo next year <3 A couple of questions: 1. Do you speak Japanese? Or, are you learning? 2. In which prefecture were you born? Do you feel a special connection there? Have you traveled through it already? All the best!

    My wife and I just dined at Yu Yu An yesterday based on your experience and it was our most enjoyable meal in Japan so far. It was the perfect experience for being off the main drag and oozing with mom & popness that we had to order with Google translator.

    The one downside of eSIMs is that your regular cell phone number won’t work while you’re on your eSIM. You’d have to switch back to your regular SIM if you want to receive or make calls on your regular phone number.

    • @washedmid
      @washedmid 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I agree, but your phone should still be able to call 119 (emergency japanese number) incase of emergencies

    • @lcheng8241
      @lcheng8241 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      My point was that your friends and family won’t be able to reach you on your regular phone number while you’re on the eSIM (would have to resort to a messaging app instead).

    • @timjrz
      @timjrz 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I don't worry so much about coins. If I have too many, I just go to a temple or shrine and toss them into the coin box.

    About the special Pikachus... Gotta catch 'em all! About the gatchas, if you're at a busy area and other people use that machine, you might be able to trade with them. I don't know how to ask in Japanese, but I have been able to make "trade" hand motions to get the point across to a lady who was obviously disappointed with the one she got. Great tips about getting ready for travel to Japan! A coin purse is really important! They have so many cute ones in Japan!! When using a physical IC card, its nice to have a cute card holder or something that makes it easy to tap through the train gates with out constantly taking it out and putting it back in your wallet all the time. These are easy to find in Japan since the system is everywhere. Pocket Wifi is so convenient in Japan! I prefer it when I need multiple devices connected and I don't want to have to keep allowing or logging into other networks. But since my next trip is with my husband and friends, I think we will also get Esims so we don't have to all stay in the same place to have access to the wifi or get disconnected. Have a great time! Looking forward to your next videos!
