Hello from Tokyo. In this vlog I’m finally back in my favourite city, and I’m spending my first day here super slowly and realistically—because I slept about three hours and I’m very jet-lagged. I’m staying for two months while studying online (I’m on official fall break this week), so it’s not a two-month vacation for me. It’s about settling in, finding a daily rhythm, and building a balance between uni life, little Tokyo comforts, and feeling grounded in a place that genuinely feels like home. I take you with me for a classic Tokyo reset: a combini snack (fruit sandos have my heart), a matcha stop at one of my go-to spots (Duck.com Space—save it), and some shopping around the west side of Tokyo near Shinjuku/Harajuku/Omotesando. I also share a practical tip: if you’re a tourist and want tax-free shopping, don’t forget your passport (I did, and I couldn’t buy anything). Later I grab lunch at Kura Sushi, talk about how I study efficiently while living abroad, and then wind down back at my apartment with a local red bean mochi and a FamilyMart milk tea (I like the tea… not the bubbles).
