in general not about japan i would use it so i can  let you guys get to know a little bit more about  

me so i asked on twitter if there's anything sorry  about the noise in the background that's tomorrow  

being a little bastard um i asked you guys on  twitter if there's anything that you wanted  

to ask me so i've got lots of questions  from you thank you so much for replying  

to me uh yeah let's get started okay number one  what food that is not available in japan do you  

miss the most um gosh probably breakfast  cereal i really miss breakfast cereal um  

not like any kind in particular but if i  could choose i would probably choose special  

cakes that was always my favorite just really  simple um yes breakfast cereal what do you miss  

most about victoria excluding friends and  family um hmm what do i miss most about victoria  

that's a good question probably oh i know the bike  path we have a really really nice bike path called  

the galloping goose trail in victoria and it's  just awesome i love bike riding and it's cool  

to not have like cars in your way i hate riding  bikes on the road so yeah i miss that really nice  

bike path i don't really have anything like that  around where i live in japan so that's too bad  

what three countries in the world would you most  want to visit um hungary the netherlands and oh  

god i gotta choose a third one i've never really  thought of a third one i really just want to visit  

those two because i am my family is from there um  a third country oh gosh i think i would like to  

visit sweden because i have friends there sandra  i miss you i like this one do you have your toilet  

paper hang inward or outward when you have it on  the roller thingy um definitely outward because in  

japan they have these um toilet paper holders  that look like this they're made out of metal  

and then you have your toilet paper here and it  hangs like this and then you can like cut it off  

so if you put it inward it wouldn't cut properly  so yes definitely outward and people that put it  

inward like frustrate the hell out of me maro  come here come here you want to be in the video

mango says hi as you choose on my finger say  hi such a friendly cat what did you dream to  

be when you were 10 years old oh i really wanted  to be a secretary ooh so that sounded exciting  

um it's because my mom used to be a secretary and  i used to go with her to work sometimes and she'd  

let me type on her typewriter like not a computer  like an old typewriter and it was so much fun so i  

always wanted to be a secretary if you weren't in  japan what would you be doing um god that's a good  

question sometimes i think about that and i like  honestly i have no idea but i'd probably be doing  

something similar to what i was doing before i  came to japan which was touring japanese students  

around my city and teaching them english and i  also worked at a japanese grocery store so it's  

like not really that different i would still be  working with japanese people probably just because  

being able to speak japanese is like my biggest  skill and i really enjoyed doing that so  

yeah i would probably still be doing that how  did you and mimei meet uh we met on youtube  

in the comments um god when was the first time  we met i can't even remember i think it was  

when we filmed the recycle store video is that  the first time me may correct me if i'm wrong  

um but yeah she was super sweet her channel was  always way bigger than mine and she was so nice  

to me when i was first starting out vlogging and  i was so excited to meet her and yeah she's just  

the sweetest person ever so thank you mimei for  being awesome can you play any instruments yes i  

well i could i used to be able to play piano and  saxophone i played piano for probably like seven  

years or something i started when i was really  young and saxophone i started in junior high  

school and i played it all through high school  and i was in a jazz band and we'd like travel  

around places and do competitions and that's why  i went to cuba and one of the questions is asking  

me about cuba so i got to get to that one next  but yeah so alto sax baritone socks and piano  

oh here it is how was your trip to havana i would  like to know about what you think of my city and  

the places you visited okay honestly i have no  idea where we visited i was just with my high  

school and we were in a bus and they were like  taking us around everywhere i don't know where  

i went but we stayed in this awesome resort  hotel right on the beach and it was just so  

beautiful and i really liked how i don't know i  just really liked how the city looked i don't know  

if you guys have ever seen pictures of cuba let  me put some random pictures from google up here  

but it's just really colorful the houses are  colorful the cars are really old and awesome  

the people were super friendly there were lots of  people like selling handmade goods on the street  

and playing instruments and yeah it was just  a really cool atmosphere everyone like dancing  

at night time we would get together and  have like dance parties outside our hotel  

and yeah it was great i i really like cuba  and i would love to go back and visit again

gorgeous talented funny really sweet girl  you have to check out her channel what is  

your favorite type of movie sci-fi fantasy etc  uh horror definitely horror actually i like only  

watch horror movies um sometimes i like to watch a  good drama or something like that but in general i  

only have like cravings to watch horror movies and  i've basically watched them all so i'm always like  

out of movies to watch so if you guys can  recommend me some like genuinely scary horror  

movies i would be so happy i already know you love  pancakes but i want to know what is your top three

i don't really like meat i don't like big chunks  of meat it just grosses me out cilantro i cannot  

eat cilantro at all i cannot stand it do you  have any fears or phobias um i hate planes i  

hate flying in planes like i every time i get  on a plane i think i'm gonna die so when i get  

off i'm always like i feel like i have a second  chance at life so i think it's kind of like good  

because i always like kind of reevaluate my life  every time i take a plane um and i hate spiders  

like i would never kill them but i am so terrified  of them if i have a spider in my house i can't  

go to sleep until i catch it and put it outside  luckily i have a cat now so he can do that for me  

um luckily he just finds bugs and plays with them  he doesn't kill them so i always know when there's  

a bug in the room and then i can go capture it  put it outside would you rather eat maple syrup  

every day or never eat it again actually i do not  like real maple syrup i only like cheap crap like  

jebima or like cake syrup they call it in japan  so never eat it again i would be fine with that  

favorite video game animal crossing or final  fantasy eight or nine or ten no eight or nine  

those were good favorite american youtuber kalel i  love her she's so cute and she's fun to listen to  

i really like her personality favorite breed  of cat do you like fat cats or skinny cats  

um i don't have a preference as for weight  with my cats but my favorite breed of cat  

is american okay i have three that i really like  american short hair uh scottish fold and russian  

blue those are my three all-time favorites and my  cat back in canada is an american short hair motto  

yay oh there he goes ah i tried mano mara's a  scottish fold but um honestly i like any kinds  

of cats i usually don't i'm not really into  long-haired cats but mario's a long hair but  

i for some reason i really like these uh silver  tabby long hairs i think they look really pretty  

celebrity crushes um there aren't too  many celebrities that i'm really into  

g-dragon is my ultimate favorite asano  is really cool and a really cool guy  

um honestly those are the only two that i'm really  interested in at all what kind of computer camera  

and other equipment you use for making your  videos i have a macbook from like 2012 it's  

getting kind of old now but it's great i love it  and i use a sony alpha 5 next i think it's called  

for my camera and what other equipment do i use  i have two lights here that i bought recently  

and these are nice just from amazon cheap  like 100 bucks or something for two of them  

no 200 bucks i think they're 100 each  and i use final cut pro for editing  

that's about it what do you like to do in your  spare time besides youtube any hobbies drawing  

writing etc i used to have lots of hobbies  like when i used to have time in canada  

um but here i don't really have hobbies i guess my  hobby is playing with maro looks whenever i have  

free time i'm playing with him because he's  a psycho and he likes to play constantly um  

if i did have time i would be playing video games  again because i really missed that and i really  

like drawing as well on the computer and i guess  that's about it yeah i'm probably studying i like  

studying languages so i would probably be working  on my korean which i should be doing but i'm not  

are you still learning html or other web  development language um no i studied html  

in high school and i was doing it a bit for my  other job that i was doing before but i quit  

there so i'm no longer working on that i really  like it though that would be cool to study again  

do you sometimes miss canada no like i don't  miss canada at all i miss the people and my pet  

chanel and the food but i don't really miss like  the place at all if that makes sense i don't know  

i feel more comfortable in japan so i'm never  like uh i wish i was back in canada but i i do  

miss the people and my pets a lot what are three  of your guiltiest pleasures uh guilty pleasures  

what are my guilty pleasures eating pancakes um  watching america's next top model and collecting  

stuffed animals does that count i have a stuffed  animal obsession oh let me show you my new one  

i think his name is gelatoni he's a disney  character i'm not into disney at all but they  

have a couple cute cat characters so he is one of  them okay i'm gonna go to facebook because i think  

there were a couple questions on there i don't  really like facebook very much so i appreciate  

it when you guys like tweet me and stuff because i  don't have time to reply to all of my social media  

and i usually focus on twitter so if you ever  want to chat with me come to my twitter what  

made you want to pick up the camera and start  making videos uh well my university wanted me  

to start a blog while i was in japan a written  blog and i really suck at writing so i figured  

that making spoken videos would be a lot easier  for me so that's what got me into it and what  

kept me into it was i found that it was a really  great place to practice my japanese and once i  

stopped vlogging in japanese i really started to  enjoy sharing japan with english speakers so yeah  

it's just been really fun but yeah it started  out because my university wanted me to start a  

blog about my experience living in japan because  i was part of an exchange through my university  

if you had to eat only one food for the rest of  your life what would it be um one of my favorite  

foods to eat is pancakes but i definitely  wouldn't want to eat only pancakes for the  

rest of my life because i don't feel very healthy  after i eat though i would probably want to eat  

can it be like two ingredients um i would  probably want to eat like pan fried tofu  

with broccoli and garlic three ingredients  garlic you need some garlic in there  

uh cause those are like my favorite  things ever i love garlic and tofu and  

broccoli yeah i would easily gladly eat that  for the rest of my life all right guys well i  

think that's it i hope you got to know me  a little better and i'll probably do more  

of these q a videos if you like them feel free  to leave any more questions that you have down  

below and then i'll use them for another video  if i film one and yeah thanks for watching bye
