Yeah, my husband’s BO isn’t like “B.OOOO” he sort of smells like old fruit… 😅 but it’s noticeable enough probably just to me. People do stink in japan, but Febreeze makes a killing and that’s basically all you’ll ever smell, anywhere with a crowd.
@@Rainime ok maybe I should rephrase that. I hardly ever sweat, I can work out without sweating much, if at all, and unless it's REALLY humid and hot I can go by without sweating as well. My body is usually at a very low temperature so guess that's why.
Great advice. Especially the extension cord. I always bring two because outlets in Japan are very inconveniently placed in the rooms. If you have an older (especially android phone) make sure that it is compatible with the SIM card you've selected. Some things I also like to bring (suggested by an article I read years ago) is a duvet cover, pillow cases and fairy lights from home that make my bedroom area feel familiar and homey! That can be very comforting. It also saves me $$ buying new things in Japan. Those items are also is quite flat and light in a suitcase. I also like to bring a small starter stash of things that I don't immediately wish to hunt down on arrival. Especially stuff related to hobbies and personal habits. I like to journal and paste tickets into my journals, so I found a glue pen, a small steel stapler I've had since forever, double-sided tape, scissors, a few pens & markers--whatever may be immediately useful. Of course, the stationery options you can find in Japan are amazing, but since I have a stash I can be selective about which stuff I really want.
This was quite helpful, I plan to move to Japan some day. I was supposed to arrive last year right before quarantine, and again this year, but Japan is a sealed clam.
man, two things that I can blame on foods; 1. not smelling the sweat, Japan seem to avoid lot of food that make them stink like tomato, aspartame, etc. Eat right really make you smell right! 2. Getting so many cavities more than ever might be appropriate blame on corn in everything (candies, pastries n etc) rather than lack of floride. 90% of japanese soda and candies I found have corn for sweet and thickness..... (can't be help, they easily have the most preference texture puff ever). kit Kat aren't so innocent either! British outlawed this is why you had no cavities before moving to Japan.
Yay! 😆 I was surprised to see the notification that you posted and I was pleasantly surprised.😁💖Thank you so much for making his video. I'm planning on studying in Japan next year and this video is going to be so helpful. ☺💞
I'm saving this video for 2023✨ I need to plan what I'll take with me when I move there. The vídeo came at the right moment, thank you gorgeous and smart Mandarin 🍊🧡
handy hint for shoes in Japan: I find that if you go to a more western store for example Asics you can often get sizes up to 11 which is really good when you have bigger feet :)
@@RandomRable. oof, my aunt and mom said they would take me when I turn 18. Which is in 7 years ;-; atleast that gives me PLENTY of time to learn Japanese
Get a revolut account! I use mine as the rates when I buy things in yen is so much cheaper than traditional bank accounts and I can still have money go into a UK bank account with it! It's so much easier for travelling and living overseas and you can hold multiple currencies at one time!
Not planning to move to Japan, but I’ve wanted to visit for a while, and this is a really useful video! The portable WiFi and the seasonal clothing info is particularly appreciated.
Loved the video! I was accepted to a Japanese uni but bc of the travel restrictions idk when I will be able to travel 😭 Hopefully I will uses this tips in the future🥺❤️
Homestay ホームステイ is the word you want haha I brought Caramello Koalas as my Australian おみやげ they were very popular! Regarding the power stuff (we call it a powerboard in Aus, I think US call them a power strip) - the only issue is when you're from a place with 220/240v some items won't work as well (worst offender is hair-dryers! best to just buy one in Japan because it will be lacklustre otherwise). But chargers will have an adapter within them to switch between voltages.
Hi Mikan! Regarding your recent cavities and all, it could be one of the unfortunate side effects of your ADHD meds! I take Vyvanse for my ADHD and my psychiatrist actually warned me that stimulants can make you get more cavities (which works great when executive dysfunction makes you unable to brush your teeth most days). So it could be the weird fluoride thing or your meds or a combination of both! Hope this helps solve your cavity mystery
I had to search up 25 degrees Celsius (I live in America), and 77 degrees Fahrenheit?? That was hot for you coming from the UK?! Where I’m from in Nevada, it can get up to 120 F/48 C in the summer, so I guess if anything 25 degrees Celsius would be chilly to me right off the bat
I'm planning to move to Japan but don't know Japanese do you think you can maybe make a little series to teach all of us the basics please it would be very helpful 🥺
This is soooo helpful since I'm (hopefully) moving in October! Will definitely give it another watch before my departure. What I still don't understand is how you got from the airport to your accommodation with your two huge suitcases. 😂 Like sis idk how I'm gonna do that in 25 degrees.. I'm Swedish so that's like HOT HOT
Its literallllyyyy so clever that she made herself named mikan!! BECAUSE MIKAN IS MANDARIN (mandarin as In fruit, not the language) IN JAPANESE. woman, teach me your ways.
YOO! :0 So I've been getting into spirituality and the law of attraction or assumption and have been trying to manifest moving to Japan. I know it sounds crazy like some withcraft shit but I partially grew up there (I say partially because I'm still kinda in the process of growing up, despite being considering old. I mean I'm still a teenager) and every now and then, I get very very homesick. I almost lost hope in my manifestation and had this whole nervous breakdown because my attention span is the absolute worse and I can't pay attention while meditating and always have the worst obsessive thoughts which make me lose hope but my hopeless self decided it would be a good idea to get out of bed and open my pc and I subconsciously loaded youtube to find this in my recommended. I have watched Mikan before but it's been a while since I've watched her. My last video must've been the soda one if I recall correctly. I know it sounds rly dumb but it just gave me a shit ton of motivation ^_^. And it's okay if you're not spiritual like that, I just thought I'd put it out there :P.
definitely recommend leaning into assumption more, i find attraction is too "oh well it wasnt meant to be" which you don't really want when manifesting something you want. assumption also leaves every answer to yourself. "what would i have to believe is true to be having this experience" is a really good one. also quick tip, start speaking in past tense with those negative habits you have; "because my attention span is the absolute worse and I can't pay attention while meditating and always have the worst obsessive thoughts" this thought needs to be changed, you're only solidifying those things into your reality. i find speaking in past tense is the easiest way to start. also don't listen to the people that overcomplicate loa, truely the only thing you need is to truely believe your desire is already yours/is already a plan/is happening, that's literally it.

The part about the toothpaste is a little - I’m from Europe and my family has been using our favorite neem non-fluoride toothpaste since forever and my last cavity I had was when I was a child (around 11 years old), nothing ever since. I don’t know why you are having so many cavities since moving to Japan, but non fluorid toothpaste should work just fine.
Same in America when I was a kid. Now just at dental appointments every 6 months. Dentist in japan is like $10 so it’s basically just making time in your schedule for it.
