[@juliachng]

also I remember telling you that you can call me jules instead of julia and the fact that you remember makes me happy everytime!

[@moremeimei]

Hehe ofc ❤️❤️

[@suzannes783]

Thank you so much for doing vlogmas during your travels this year! That's a lot of work editing, when you could be out exploring some more, hanging out with friends, or sleeping. But I look forward to them every day. As another person commented, - and it's a great seasonal reminder too - that the best things in life are quite simple - time with loved ones, good food, an appreciation for the beauty around us - and I will add a spirit of gratitude. Those very important qualities come through in your work Mei Mei. Personally, I think Japanese cuisine is the best in the world, but if I were to say one thing - it would be sushi. Wishing you the absolute best in your travels!

[@kara6320]

This vlog was like a reminder that the best things in life are simple - a warm drink, good food, a nice view. Thank you for doing vlogmas!!

[@eeveee9530]

meimei, when you said the item was expensive, i was thinking somewhere in the thousands of dollars but then you mentioned it was $80 usd! You should totally treat yourself, esp during the holiday trip! the fact that you called it out makes me think that you never treat yourself! Go for it girl, you deserve it!!!

[@andychung8759]

Your Japan trip looks like so much fun already! Love seeing all the Christmas markets, they look so beautiful. So hard to pick a favorite type of Japanese food, there are so many good choices, but right now a nice hot bowl of shio ramen with some firm noodles sounds amazing :)

[@analogkid28]

Thank you so much for including us in your trip to Japan. I still can’t get over the hello Kitty flight debacle. But I’m happy you’re in Japan and having a great time. If I had to pick one type of Japanese cuisine that I truly love I would have to say sushi. ❤

[@juliachng]

hi meimei!! I was just wondering if you were going to post today!! SUPER excited to watch a japan vlog, but I now I'm immediately going to crave everything!! anyways you are so hard working and I hope that you know that you are appreciated! also I don't know if you are going to read this but whenever you read or reply to one of my comments it makes my day a million times better and I still get excited! ily

[@moremeimei]

Haha aw you are always the sweetest thanks Jules!! Hope you’re having a great weekend 🥰

[@KAYGL04]

That boba looked too good

[@brysonhk]

Great video Mei Mei. My wife and I were in Japan last year at this time and your video brought back memories. My favorite japanese food is tonkatsu ramen with extra egg lol

[@jeliberries]

Hi Mei Mei! My mom and son love watching your videos. My favorite Japanese food is tonkatsu curry, shrimp tempura, and butter fish. I haven’t been to Japan but this definitely helps me plan for a trip there.

[@carmenlu7633]

Hot corn soup in a can? The states could never 😂😂. It's so hard to choose a favorite Japanese food but the most comforting one to me is katsudon. I'm catching up on your vlogmas vlogs after a long week at work. There's no better way to start the weekend

[@YanaOstrovska]

Thanks so much for the work and time you put in for the Uniqlo bags! My favorite Japanese food has been always Sushiiiii! Also, I am pregnant right now and can’t have raw fish but there is different variety of sushi available now so that’s good (without fish).

[@jellyhasabelly]

My favorite Japanese food would probably be sushi, especially salmon sashimi! I've been loving your Vlogmas videos and I'm definitely taking notes for my Japan trip next year! Thanks for filming your trip for us and hope you're having lots of fun :)

[@ChristineBachman2]

Mouth watering channel! I love Japanese Chirashi!🍣

[@chouxpoof]

I want to visit Tsujihan so bad!! And Imakatsu looks delicious too. Also, Studio Ghibli in Japanese is スタジオジブリ, and they pronounce the "ghi" as "ji" (like Jiji the cat, or Jeep!). My favorite Japanese food is tsukemen (particularly with fish based broth) or anything with Japanese curry!!

[@jenniferatta4780]

We love the conveyor belt sushi in Japan. So cheap! My daughter said you should try the peelable gummies. For example, you peel the "skin" of the grape and eat the skin and the inside of the grape.
