Hannah, congratulation on your 201k subscribers 🥳🎉!!! This is really a wonderful milestone achievement! And it's a well-deserved recognition for your hard work filming, editing and choosing weekly content full of beautiful places and interesting things for us. But, mainly for sharing with us, a little bit of your life, personal taste, comments, opinions, or even moments together with Natalie, your nieces, your dad and friends. Thank you so much dear Hannah, for always being so kind to us! And also for bringing good moments into our lives. Your “stunning beauty”, and your lovely smile always brighten our days! You are very special and very loved too! 😘💐🏵🌸🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷

[@user-ct2wx6ir7d]

@@lyndabond1443 Well, I don't like snooty parks that have signs "KEEP OFF THE GRASS." You must remain on hard concrete and have no contact w/the earth because you may dent the grass! 🎵DO THIS, DON"T DO THAT, CAN"T YOU READ THE SIGNS🎵🙄😀 But I liked the dog-toilet. There was a "JUST FOR LAUGHS/GAGS" episode where they handed out diapers to dog walkers entering the park. It was hilarious. One woman actually put it on her dog, she thought they really meant it, lol!💓🐕🐕💓

Hi Hanna, I a new fan of your videos. I did my PhD in the Uk a couple of years ago, thankfully before Covid. I used to visit London quite often. Now, I miss it so much. And here comes you. Yesterday, I watched like about 15 of your videos. I like your style and being genuine. Do continue vlogging, please

Hannah you spend so much time & effort planning, fliming & editing & selecting great music; all so that we can enjoy the wonderful sights & sounds of London with you!

I remember travelling to Cornwall on vacation and I was completely touched by the businesses and homes I saw who had a bowl of water at their front door for thirsty dogs. That little dog was precious as he scurried along in his wheelie. 💓🐕💓

Oh, Hannah! It's always such a delight for you to take viewers along w/you around London! Thank you!⭐😊🏆🥇

You're hysterical!!! I love how you told the pigeon to stay there so you can give him your crab snacks. Your candidness is why I follow you. Congrats on your ever growing followers!

[@eternalservant]

Congrats on 20.1K subscribers, Hannah! 🎉 Your name in katakana is →ハンナ リケッツ Hannah sounds like hana, flower in Japanese. It would be nice if you come to Japan, but be cautious on big earthquakes. I would recommend hotels away from coastal areas. Nara is an older capital city of Japan, older than Kyoto. Tourists enjoy interacting with polite deer at Nara Park. 1300-year-old Hokkedo building houses big Buddhist statues from that era. JNTO in London will help you out planning! 😊

[@user-hd7me8uh5j]

Every mum dreams of a daughter like you, or a daughter in law. Well done.

[@kates3979]

Glad to hear you are going to take a bit of a break to enjoy summer. We started something new, every month my sisters and I have a ethnic dinner night where we have to make dish from the chosen theme, it has been really fun to taste new dishes from around the world. I am always impressed with all the parks around London, really stunning green spaces. Have a great week!

[@FlameRedCat]

Kit-Kats are big in Japan. They have dedicated stores there that sell flavours that can’t be bought anywhere else. It’s because Kit-Kat is close to the Japanese phrase “kitto-katsu” (きっと勝つ). It literally translates to “you will surely win”. In English, it’s simply wishing someone “good luck”. In Japan, it is a tradition to give Kit-Kats to students just before they take their exams. Matcha became popular because Buddhist monks would drink it in order to stay awake whilst handwriting out scriptures. It was the Pro-Plus of its day! At the start of high school in Japan, students have to take an extra curricular activity, which is then studied for the rest of their time at high school, including during the holidays. Calligraphy is one of the options, so by the end of their time at high school, those students are good at it, and the art form has been preserved this way. Fun fact: Yoko Ono took calligraphy as her option at high school. Love your videos, Hannah! 💕

[@jef355]

Your channel is such a delight. I was in Japan for the cherry blossoms this spring. The exchange rate is very good right now. I want to go back for the autumn leaf color, some day. You need to make plans to go. I will be in London in November. Your channel is helping me make my plans. Thank you.

Hi Hannah. I just discovered your channel and have been binging your London touristy vlogs (even though I am a Brit living in the North West of England).

Hannah, the building to the left which houses Whole Foods used to be Barkers (I used to work there!), and the building on the right which houses H&M, was the larger Biba store, which I went to as a very small person! (original shop was on Kensington Church Street). Used to love those Japanese pancakes with the bean paste, and love a Bubble Tea, but that's about it for me!

Asian supermarkets have a pleasant ambience. The packaging is enticing. Linaments, homewares and sesame snacks are a favoured buy. The cloth rice bulk bags make great recycle projjects. Kensington has wonderful architecture, some of it with an Oriental influence from the Empire era. The Japanese garden is quite serene. It's time for people everywhere to come out of their bunkers and check out nearby sights and shops. Make the most of what you have around you. Find a bit of joy.

There's about 60 different flavours of KitKat in Japan. Not always all available in one place. They come in bags like the one you picked-up, but pay attention to the stated quantity in the pack, because certain flavours seem to less (or more) than the usual amount you could expect.
