A day in a life of someone who is taking a break from med school during Covid in Japan Vlog🇯🇵📸

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be showing you guys what my typical day in Japan looks like. At my grandparents' house, breakfast is at 7 a.m., so I wake up at 6:50. This is literally me in the morning. My grandpa prepares breakfast for us. I can't imagine a Japanese breakfast without the rice.

The next one is miso soup. We also absolutely love marinated grilled salmon. We have a salad with Sydney and sweet potatoes with peanuts. This is she, which is boiled white and thinkers, and the last thing is Pokémon. I brought pistachio, which is dried fruit pulp from Turkey, for my grandma. She loves it! She put it in the fridge, so it got pretty hard. I was trying to rip it off, but I gave up and cut it with scissors. This one was made with white mulberry topped with walnuts.

Look at this tiny washing machine that my grandparents are using! It looks so cute. My mother washes the dishes, but I decided to act like a helpful daughter for the sake of this video. At least I'm being honest with you guys. I could be lying, and you'll never know. Now I'm drinking a cup of green tea to relieve the tightness of me pretending to do the dishes.

Grandparents drink green tea after every single meal. Doing the laundry is my job this time. After hanging out the laundry, I use a string of dental floss to make my dentist brother proud. Seriously, if you are not flossing or using Theat, you should start immediately. It's so freaking important, says my brother. After flossing, I brush my teeth. My brother tells me that I am doing it wrong, so I'm not a good example—don't copy me.

The food that I am wearing is from my high school. Yes, I use them as pajamas because I paid for them, so I have to wear them. Now it's time to do some productive stuff. Look how dirty my Magic Keyboard looks! I'm still trying to forget how much I paid for it.

I think it's overpriced, but it's a game-changer. I'm glad that I got it. I thought about my future upcoming videos and made some songs for my videos. It takes at least three hours, so I decided to use some sub-generator services. We'll see if they work. I don't have enough money to hire someone—broke! I wanted to help the subs in a couple of hours, which does not suit anybody's schedule.

Thank you guys! I appreciate it. Love you guys! I'll start doing a couple of hours of YouTube-related stuff. I study for a couple of hours because I'm taking a break from university. You guys might be wondering what I'm studying, but I can't tell you yet because of some private reasons. I'm such a mysterious girl, right? Just kidding! I'll explain it in a year, no worries.

We grow so fast on this channel, which makes me happy, but at the same time, very because the content that I want to make and what you guys can afford is different from the beginning. I always wanted to make some productivity, language, self-related videos, but you guys seem to enjoy college-related ones.

So, I'm trying to find a balance between what I wanted to do and what you guys enjoy. Spending hours being productive, reading your guys' comments on YouTube, and replying to some of them—I would likely respond on YouTube because I don't like using Instagram. I'm off to roll. Most of the DMs I’m getting are from people who are trying to marry me.

I just don't know! Using Instagram, I delete the app after I use it and redownload it whenever I want. The pasta story! I don't think that scrolling through Instagram has any value to my life. Do I end up using much more time than I planned? It makes me feel so guilty.

So if you have any questions, commenting is the best choice. I guess not because more comments make more money, though. The questions are repeating, so if you scroll through comments, you can find answers.

Okay, so Japan, because of the current situation, I wasn't really going outside that much since I'm vlogging, and this is not really entertaining if I acted like a stay-at-home mom. So I decided to go outside a bit and grab some food with my family. Today, I'm going to be grabbing some takoyaki! I will show you guys what it is, but it's very delicious and one of my favorite Japanese foods.

So yeah, I will change my clothes and maybe wear a bit of makeup, and then we will go outside. I really love corn tea! The place itself is a bit far away from the train station, so I had to walk. I walk through a shooting, which is a style of Japanese commercial district, typically in the form of a local market street that is closed to car traffic.

Here is a green tea store. They were also selling some seaweeds that we put in miso soup, etc. This place is a buckeye C, which is a Japanese confection store. They were selling strawberry daifuku, which is my favorite!

Then I finally came to the takoyaki store. Takoyaki is a bowl-shaped Japanese snack made with wheat flour and cooked in a special molded pan. It's typically filled with minced, diced octopus, tempura, pickled ginger, and green onion. The balls are brushed with takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise and sprinkled with green onions and shavings of dried bonito, so if you're planning to visit Japan, don't forget to try it because it's so freaking delicious!

I would recommend getting it from a place called Gindaco. Don't forget! I was starving, so I decided to eat at that restaurant. Be careful when you eat that because it's super hot! This is an ice cream store called 31. In Japan, we pronounce it like "sativa," but I would prefer.

After eating my takoyaki, I took it out for my family because I'm such a good girl! Just kidding, my mother pays for it. I went back home, and I took a nap because I was tired. I forgot to film the part where I took off the laundry, but trust me, I did that. That's my job in Japan, and I do it every single day.

For dinner, I had mine. I'm going to take a shower and edit videos, then going to read some books and do my skincare routine, brush my teeth. Yeah, I guess that was it for today. I hope you guys enjoyed this video!
