like sit down and chat with you type of video today.

There are gonna be some big changes around here in the next couple of months

and I wanted to fill you guys in on them. Nothing bad so don't worry.

The other day my sister sent me an email

for those of you that don't know, my sister lives in Canada.

I have one younger sister. We don't talk that often

we basically just email each other when we have something fun to share

like I got some cool Pokemon merch or have a cute picture of the cats to show

or she's showing me pictures of my cats back in Canada.

Um but she sent me a really serious email the other day

and it kind of like surprised me because we don't really talk about stuff like that um, ever [LAUGH].

And she was telling me that she's been feeling very depressed for a while now

and I was getting really worried because like I said it's not

really like her to talk to me about stuff like that

so I know it must have taken lots of courage for her to email me

and tell me how she was feeling, really big props to her for doing that.

I know how hard it is to like reach out to somebody when you're feeling depressed.

If any of you guys are feeling depressed,

don't feel bad about telling a friend or someone in your family

just tell them how you're feeling. There's going to be people that really care about you

and want to help you so don't feel, like, embarrassed or shy or worried

about what they might think or anything.

If there isn't anyone in your life that you can talk to,

there are lots of services online where you can talk to people.

I will link a couple down below just in case any of you guys need that

so that you don't feel alone. So I got that email from my sister

and she told me that she hasn't been doing very well

so I asked her if she wanted to come move in with us in Japan.

I figure the change of scenery might be nice for her just to get out of Canada

kind of like a breath of fresh air and just change it up a bit.

And she said yes and she bought a ticket already

so she will be arriving here at the beginning of May

and she's gonna be living with us. We're not sure for how long yet

it could just be for a month or two, I told her she can stay as long as she likes

so we'll just see how it goes.

But I'm really excited and I think she's really excited too.

There's so many things that I'm looking forward to showing her here.

We're thinking about doing some road trips going down to Kyoto definitely

because I want to show her the beautiful temples

and kind of like the traditional side of Japan as well as, you know, the typical, like Harajuku.

and I'm definitely gonna take her Nakano Broadway

because she's a big

nerd like I am and there's just so many

things I want to show her. And because it's her first time

in Japan, I think it's gonna be

lots of fun to see her reactions.

I've been here for over ten years.

So, you know, I'm used to everything.

Everything is just like everyday life to me.

I don't really get super excited

about anything anymore, but I think she's

really gonna love it and I think it's

going to be fun vlogging with her.

I'm not sure if she's going to be

comfortable having her face in my videos

um I'll talk that over with her and see

what she feels like doing, but hopefully

you guys will support her decision either way.

She's definitely comfortable

with me vlogging, but I'm just not sure if she'll want to show her face or not

I will leave that completely up to her so we'll see, but yeah I guess I just

wanted to fill you guys in on that since she will be living with us.

and you will be seeing her a lot in my videos.

I really hope she enjoys her time here and

the break away from her daily routine will make her feel a little better.

I think it will. I think it's going to be

really fun.

Other than that, in other news

My friend, Greg, from university

my really good friend Greg has moved back to Japan

if any of you guys have been following

my channel since the very beginning you

might remember Greg from such classics

as "Wasabi Chicken Nuggets". So are...

What was another one? "A day in Harajuku

with Leo." Greg was in a bunch of my

videos. He had to, all of a sudden, move

back to America to have surgery and then

he was there while he was healing for a

couple years. So, I haven't seen him in

the longest time, but he just arrived

back in Japan a couple days ago and I

cannot wait to hang out with him.

So, you guys are going to be seeing more of

Greg. I can't wait I'm so excited Greg is so

much fun. I'm hoping we can make some

more videos talking about our university

experience because I do get lots of

questions about that, but I like making

those kind of videos when I have someone to

chat with about it. I think it's cool to

get like more than one perspective.

It's election time in Japan, so if you hear

like trucks blasting speeches in the

background, that's what the candidates do. They

drive around in trucks with like a

speaker and they tell people to vote for

them. That's all I hear from morning till

night for the next couple weeks

until elections are over. It's great.

Anyway, so, yes, Greg is going to be here

I'm so excited about that and also I

have a couple friends coming to visit

from America and Canada. Candy is here

right now and we're going to be doing

some really fun things this week and

next week we've got a few things planned.

So, watch out for that in my vlogs. I'm

definitely going to be vlogging because

I'm super excited. Hopefully the weather

is ok. And then in a couple months my

friend Jackie, nerdy crafter, is coming

back to Japan and again we've got lots

of fun stuff planned. So, these next

couple of months are going to be super

busy from me, but I think it's going to

be really great I am so excited about my

sister coming here and I hope you guys

enjoy the videos that I'm going to be

making with everyone. So I guess that's

it for updates now you guys know what's

going on in my life, well some of it. Let

me know what's going on with you guys;

what's new, what have you been enjoying

recently. Let me know in the comments.

I loved hearing all your recommendations

for Netflix shows to watch. I have this

humongous list now stuff that I have to

watch, thanks to you guys. I'm excited to

get started and I will see you soon for

another video. Thanks for watching! Bye guys.
