Here's the link to the article about traveling to Japan I mentioned! 👉 asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Coronavirus/Japan-to-ease-entry-for-businesspeople-students-but-not-tourists

[@Shadyshooter]

Welcome back. Hope you feel better soon

[@Gangstaguru3000]

Yaaaasss! I'm so happy you are back home!! I can't get enough of your content! Thank you so much for being you and making vlogs!💕

[@ochalfbreedotaku5549]

I'm glad your better and missed your videos

[@sarahthomson878]

That's great news, cause I've been saving up to come to Japan again since 2017 and I've finally got the necessary funds. I'll be reading this article to find out when I can start thinking about going to a travel agents and start planning my 2nd Japan trip finally after 5 whole years! I've missed it, so much. :'D

[@liamshiels8626]

As Bart Simpson once said: "I'm better than OK. I got a SCAR!" Nothing wrong with scars. They're like tattoos but better, BC they come with stories.

[@2345678902345671]

Tell everyone you got in a bar fight.

[@liamshiels8626]

I realise Bart's actual quote goes "...I got stitches!" But as someone in possession of many scars and stitches, I maintain that the sentiment rings true.

[@charlesrovira5707]

Tell everybody you got in a bar fight and had to leave *Canada* ... quickly and quietly, but the other woman lost her man, for the night, and most of her left ear.

I’ve only used glasses USA since you first mentioned them. I’m 70 yrs old and this is the first time I’ve ever had a wardrobe of glasses. So glad you are home and safe. I know Maro must be so happy ! Quarantine life videos are just fine. I love your voice and your lovely face. Japan is my wishful thinking travel destination, and you and Chris and Rachel &Jun and Mark and others from your collective make me happy. 😸. Looking forward to every post and lots of Maro! ❤️

[@ilyisrael]

I'm an OR nurse. PLS don't expose the scar to the sun for a few years. Keep putting on lots of sunscreen on it if you have to. the scar will fade better if you do ♥ (a. i love watching AbroadInJapan and that's how i know you; b. i will not comment on the nurses behavior you spoke of in the last vlog, 'cause i'm still in shock...OMG! no professional nurse make you lay awake & naked before surgery and/or be annoyed with you when awakening after surgery ; c. stay safe and have a great life!!!).

[@venzuan]

It's not a scar, it's the proof that you passed that horrible situation and you made it. I had a tumor when I was 25 and I know all the feelings you've gone through. I can't even express how happy I am for seeing you again and smiling 🥲.

[@Rae-kw4ov]

it's both a scar and proof that she passed that horrible situation and made it. it being a scar isn't a bad thing at all!!

[@idoldigikyryn1253]

Scars aren't a bad thing. They're proof of experiences and life.

[@Starteller]

“Even if I could, I wouldn’t. Scars can come in handy. I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map of the London Underground." - Dumbledore.

[@Wazzen563]

It's factually a scar, & there's nothing wrong with that.

[@JustSaralius]

So glad you made it through also! ❤ @Venzuan

[@ArtofLoyLoy]

Keep your scar covered in the sun for the next two years so it doesn’t get discolored. We always put heavy sunblock or had sunglasses on my daughters eyebrow scar(recommended by dermatologist) and today 14 years later, her scar matches her skin tone.

[@inspiritedchristian]

Seconding! Strongly recommended protecting the scar from sun exposure for at least the next 1-2 years. Hopefully the original incision was done along the natural neck folds too so it’ll be even less obvious!

[@RSkies]

Thirding! Its fresh skin, so baby the heck out of it. ESPECIALLY in the sun. Spf 50 (98% uva/b protection) Consistent moisturizing with aloe vera or vitamin e oil will help the scar fade as well.

[@jenv6846]

Oh, and massage it to keep keloids away! I’m also fair skinned, with the same surgical incision.

[@groucrow9709]

BioOil 👍

[@DieAlteistwiederda]

I have a scar on my right upper butt cheek, it's covered all the time for obvious reasons and it still healed very pink so far. Definitely wait those 2 years at least before you start to worry even if you do everything right because the body needs time. For me it's been 8 months now since I got that scar and at least it doesn't randomly hurt anymore.

[@SusanIvanova2257]

If you can get your hands on a salon intro Kit for olaplex, that has enough of No1 and no2 for several standalone treatments. It is reasonably easy to do on your own and so great for damaged hair! You can do it every few months and do no3 as a treatment for upkeep in between.

[@RicardoJunqueira]

Hey Sharla! Massage your scar twice a day with some skin cream, moving along the cut and softly pinching it. That will help break it down and make it pink and soft. And oh, for the next year or so ALWAYS apply sunscreen when going outsite during the day. Even if your neck is covered in clothes. Best of luck to you.

[@thefirstthrownmolotov6852]

Had a laugh when you whipped out the birthday cake mixes; you don't need to wait until someone's birthday to use them 😂

[@sharlainjapan]

It would just feel wrong to make them on a regular day😂

@@sharlainjapan I would make one, just to have something for when you're going "stir crazy" being confined like that for 2 weeks. Fortunately, I haven't had to "quarantine", at all, since the _hysteria_ began. You could even make a video, and title it something like, "I finally broke down, guys" Everyone: "What?!

Your sponsor is actually timely. My dad's glasses frame broke so he's desperate for a new pair with the same lenses.

I noticed our local Costco (here in Toyama) now carries the hemp seeds you showed. I know there's a Costco in Miyagi Prefecture (not sure how far it is from Sendai), but you might check that out.

I recently had to have a surgery that left me with a giant scar on my neck. If your scar starts getting tight when you move your head, I found that calendula oil works WONDERS for loosening the tissue. It's super hydrating and really helped any discomfort I had while I was healing:)

I'm really happy to see that your voice is doing great and that you're recovering. It's always interesting to see what items are hard to find in Japan / don't exist in Japan that people bring back from their Country since it gives me an idea what I should personally bring when I'll finally be able to take a vacation to Japan. Like most of those items you'd assume they would have but they don't because it's not part of their culture.
