    Tips for next time you come out here:
    Find the person yelling on Spanish pulling a disproportionately large cart in front of them with a colorful umbrella selling fruit cups. Also get A Mango Flower, corn cup, and buy some sour candies to go on your mango cup (thank me later)
    Any fast food place you go to will be basic af, the best food you'll find will be cooked by people selling it all something called a swap meet. Food in general is EXTREMELY GOOD at swap meets. They put love and effort into their food in food stands because they have a passion for it and are working their way up to bigger and better things. You'll usually only find them by word of mouth, so ask a local liquor store where the best one will be.
    Liquor stores know everything. If you can find one that's open past 1am with not too many different people working in it, that's something we like to call a mom and pop. We protect those, we support those, and they keep tabs on everything and anything in the neighborhood just by being a liquor store people like to go to. 7/10 they appreciate people having a chat and are happy to answer questions, but I've in a while you'll get the guy that is a little tired. In that case just slip him a five and ask em a question and they'll open up pretty quick.
    Last but not least, find your local Asian owned american food place 😭 You think I'm joking but I'm very much not 😅 All the best American food places in America are owned and run by Asian people 🙃 Confusing I know, you just came from Japan 🤣 Well all the best ones I've been to all over California were owned by either Taiwanese, Cantonese, or Korean immigrants and their families. They're usually named something absurdly americore like "star buffet" or "hungry giant" 💀

    Super glad you had fun! Though, I'll be honest, hearing you romanticize America as an American was so odd to me LMAOOO
    I guess it makes sense though considering I think that way for pretty mundane things in other countries too that are just unusual to me haha
    Also was really funny seeing you freak out about going in the shopping cart honestly cause very rarely do people actually get kicked out for doing that lolll If anything, it's just teens getting kicked out for being too loud or because they're racing each other in the carts. Never seen that happen in person though just on social media haha. Most people just don't go in the carts past their teens cause the carts can possibly tip over LOL
    I did used to sit in them all the time as a kid, though, and my mom would push me around while we went grocery shopping. You can probably look this up, but on the east coast, Publix grocery stores have these carts specifically for toddlers that look like racecars/rockets and have two steering wheels on the inside for two kids; I LOVED those growing up, and my cousins & I would go in them all the time!
    But anyways, really looking forward to watching the Anime Expo runway video as well!! It looked like a ton of fun and your booth was super cute too!

    The American accent at the beginning HAD me.

I'd recommend making your way to the central/southcentral US -- or Appalachia! For that True, deep, dark American spirit ;)
