1
To end the year, I went on a very special trip to Japan.
2
I had an exciting trip planned already with a brand,
3
so I decided why not extend my stay and turn it into one big family trip with all my favorite people.
4
And a big thank you to iHerb for sponsoring this video.
5
So, let's start from the very beginning.
6
Going to Japan tomorrow, which is exciting.
7
I'm going with Taiba, which is,
8
they do the facial mist that I really like,
9
so I'm really excited to be going on this trip with them.
10
My parents are actually going to meet me in Tokyo my dad has been literally dreaming about traveling to Japan.
11
My dad has actually been studying Japanese on his own.
12
I'm really excited to go on this trip with him as well.
13
And then Blair Salceman is also joining me.
14
So it's going to be one big family trip and we've never done this before.
15
So this should be very, very fun.
16
I'm packing right now and I'm watching Dynamite Kiss.
17
We made it to Tokyo and we're staying at the Tokyo Edition Hotel.
18
We cannot wait till I take a shower.
19
Wow, cute.
20
I honestly feel so lucky to have these opportunities to travel and see the world while connecting with other viewers and creators.
21
I've been creating content for some time now,
22
but I still think what an insane time we live in.
23
I'm just some ordinary person filming myself and documenting my life on the internet.
24
So times like this make me feel very grateful and it's just such a surreal experience.
25
I feel very well rested.
26
It is the first official day in Tokyo and this view is insane guys.
27
So today is day one of Tokyo festivities.
28
The dress code is black and gold.
29
I'm not used to something so like so bold
30
and then for shoes
31
and then for shoes i'll probably just wear my comfy heels from the row these are
32
so comfortable such a great investment i like the toe and it's low and the leather is really soft cute
33
I just got ready and I'm about to head out but first things first,
34
I need to take my supplements.
35
More than ever before, I cannot live without my supplements
36
and I get all of my supplements from iHerb
37
and a big thank you to iHerb for sponsoring this portion of the video.
38
So part of my daily supplements is I take NMN and Gold C which is vitamin C from California Gold Nutrition.
39
I'm at the age now where I'm very interested in anti-aging
40
and there's been a lot of buzz about NAD+ and NMN is a precursor of NAD+,
41
which supports its healthy aging,
42
skin health, cellular energy, metabolism,
43
and overall wellness support for immunity.
44
So I've been taking this and Gold C,
45
which I've gone through so many of these jars.
46
I've been shopping on iHerb for several years now because they have the best curated selection of products from supplements,
47
sports nutrition, beauty, baby, even pets.
48
And all their products are authentic,
49
directly sourced from authorized distributors.

54
I documented the trip with Taiba on my Instagram so you can check it out there,
55
but it was a fun two days of learning about Japanese culture and connecting with other creators.
56
I'm gonna be honest, I was struggling a bit with the jet lag,
57
but I pushed through.
58
Checking into our new hotel.
59
Guess who this is working?
60
After the brand trip came to an end,
61
my parents arrived in Tokyo from Korea.
62
Post-retirement, other than visiting me in New York,
63
This was my dad's first international trip,
64
so he's been looking forward to this day for months He's also been studying Japanese through books and audio,
65
but never really had any speaking practice So he tried asking simple questions like asking for the menu and honestly,
66
I was so impressed He learned entirely on his own
67
I'm going to go.
68
He spent the past year learning basic Japanese vocabulary.
69
When he goes on daily walks,
70
he turns on Japanese audiobooks to familiarize himself with words and phrases.
71
He said that as he's getting older,
72
it's gotten harder to retain information,
73
but I'm still so proud of him.
74
I Have to take my parents to Don Quijote.
75
My mom loves stuff like this
76
Don Quijote is a store that carries literally everything and anything you can possibly think of from beauty,
77
home, toys, snacks
78
Just literally everything There were a total of seven floors at this location
79
and we maybe have gotten up to the fourth floor till
80
I saw my dad's energy Completely deplete after being overly stimulated Now we're gonna try the standard sushi bar
81
We ended the night with standing sushi Which ended up being
82
so good My parents love a good no frills Casual sushi experience
83
We're staying at the Aoyama Grand Hotel I stayed here last time
84
We're staying at this hotel because it's very convenient and the room is actually very spacious.
85
So Blurry Sauce Man is going to come,
86
so I'm going to go.
87
I got us another room.
88
I'm so happy that Blurry Sauce Man was able to join us on this trip.
89
This is our first trip together in a solid two years,
90
so this was really special for us.
91
Many times when I'm traveling for work,
92
it can be very content focused.
93
For the remainder of the trip,
94
I really wanted to feel like I was living in the moment,
95
and not just for the purpose of capturing content.
96
I decided to ditch the makeup and just wear comfy clothes and it was the best feeling ever.
97
Oftentimes, as a creator, vacations are some of the best time to capture fun content,
98
but it felt so liberating not thinking about content,
99
but just truly living in the moment.
100
Yes long.
101
Youday, I got the anxiety.
102
Yay.
103
It is the next day and for lunch today we're getting tempura.
104
We came an hour early just in case there was going to be a line and there's no one here.
105
After all my work stuff,
106
I completely just started wearing very comfortable clothes, like I mean sweatpants.
107
I'm not wearing any makeup and it is the best feeling ever.
108
It's a pizza!
109
We kept our bellies full with the most delicious meals.
110
We were browsing around Ginza and popped into Tiffany's to see if they had any wedding bands we would like.
111
It's a bit soon, but we secured our wedding bands.
112
And this is my first blue box.
113
Can I put this?
114
We are at Shinjuku Station,
115
about to head to Hakone.
116
I'm really excited because this is something that my parents have been wanting to do.
117
So one thing my parents wanted to do for a very long time is experience onsens,
118
Japanese hot spring baths.
119
We're staying at Gora Kadan, a beautiful ryokan.
120
It was an experience of its own.
121
It felt like we were on a retreat,
122
just letting our mind and bodies rest.
123
We spent our days being in nature,
124
taking baths, catching up on sleep,
125
and everything we would want from a vacation.
126
So this is my parents' room.
127
Do a quick room tour.
128
This is their bedroom.
129
And then they have their own private onsen, which is so cool.
130
Oh, this is so beautiful.
131
This is insane.
132
You get the nature and apparently this is a steam sauna.
133
You can turn on a button here,
134
one of these buttons, and then it turns into a steam room.
135
They are one of the most important people in my life and my favorite.
136
I love spending time with them and the older I get,
137
the more I learn to appreciate them.
138
I love seeing them fascinated and curious of new cultures as this is their first time.
139
What a privilege it is to witness a moment where they truly feel at peace.
140
Good morning everyone, I just woke up.
141
The view is in this thing.
142
We were checking out of our room here at Gorkha Don.
143
It was so beautiful and very, very relaxing.
144
My parents are leaving tonight and Blair's ultimate man and I are staying for two or three more days.
145
So yeah.
146
Bye.
147
I was recommended to try this ice cream.
148
It's green and purple grapes, I believe.
149
Smells really good.
150
Let's do a taste test.
151
oh my god I was expecting it to be like really hard but it's not
152
Let me see.
153
Wow.
154
This is Boy Sauce Man's ice cream.
155
It's like a wafer with vanilla ice cream and chocolate inside.
156
It looks very cute.
157

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
