I love how we saw much more of you in this video! It felt really friendly and nice, thanks Hilary 😺

[@kbodychek]

It‘s so cool to see that you‘ve grown more comfortable showing yourself directly and talking ❤

[@kbodychek]

And also your German is soooo so good!

[@bargainhuntmom]

So nice seeing you and hearing your voice in this video❤ To more of these😊

[@dusiiaczek]

Hi Hillary! I would love to see from you diy content, but also cooking, cleaning, art making, travel vlogs from Asia and Germany! Your editing will make me watch everything! Great videos, thank you! ❤️

[@cloudyhills]

Thank you, you're the sweetest!

[@AR-uz4tf]

This was a fun one, seeing more of you is lovely! All the food looks so good and the organizing is always so satisfying. I love your vids, so calm and informative at the same time! Looking forward to when you have a new project, love the DIYs as well! ❤ Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

I love the character your channel seems to be slowly taking. I've been watching you since your very first video and it feels warmer and cozier every time! I loved that I saw you more in this one and you seemed very relaxed and nice! Thanks for the relaxing and comfy videos, you're always the best company!

i also love to see you directly spkeaking to the camera, i.e. to us. nice to understand you feel really more comfortable with camera. thank you for your aestethic video as usual. in my country, Uzbekistan, we love to eat cold noodle soup in summers, it's local korean soup called 'kuk-si'. it's not typical for Korea itself, only here in Uzbekistan. almost everybody loves kuk-si in hot days like ours in July :)

I would highly recommend the Ramen Museum in Yokohama, go there hungry, haha. It's filled with ramen restaurants from all over, and you can choose smaller portions, so you can try a few different ones. Kamakura and Enoshima are two of my favourite places to visit as well, but it might be a bit much to do both in the same day. Nakano Broadway is a must if you're into Japanese pop culture, there's also a huge second hand kimono shop in the basement.

[@cloudyhills]

I've been considering whether to go to the Cup Noodle museum!! Guess I really have to go hehe

[@MiriamTV2]

@@cloudyhills The Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum and Cup Noodle Museum are different, though! I've heard good things about the Cup Noodle one, too, but I haven't been there myself. ^^

[@eminekorubymamacat]

Kichijoji is my hometown!! (But I live in CA now). You might already know but you purchase Gibli museum tickets on-line but you need to pick them up at Lawson convenience store. If you are into Japanese traditional art, you can watch Kabuki in Ginza or other couple of places in Tokyo for a single play (normally entire plays are very long) and they provide interpretation audio kit. I hope you will have a wonderful trip in Singaproe and Tokyo!!

[@trangluu8754]

i went to japan in april and miss it so much! i would recommend going to asakusa in tokyo. there is a shrine there which is surrounded by local businesses and great street food!

[@rick2bees]

Eet smakelijk !!!! 👏

[@snackyb3ar]

When it's a big trip, planning is the best way to go. For spontaneous ones no plans are more fun 😊

[@eily_b]

I am not vertically challenged 😄 but my old 1,75m fridge broke down and I now have a 2,03m one that I can't reach to the upper shelves backs so I bought a lazy susan and it's really the best. All my bottled condiments are there now and I will probably get me another one for the other side of the top shelf. 👍🏻

[@Darenim]

10:48j I'm Dutch, and I'd pronounce the English word salmon the same as you Germans would. In Dutch, salmon is "zalm" (similar but different). I just looked up the German word. Lachs!? I did not expect that, haha.

[@trashprince]

I really recommend the Sakurai Japanese Tea experience in Tokyo! You can try a lot of different teas, and they’ll even roast hojicha in front of you. Personally, I have to plan a lot when I travel, although I get stressed out if the schedule is planned down to the minute. Like you, I tend to pick out certain activities for the day. But I definitely have to set aside time beforehand for frequent breaks, and I need to know when and where I can eat. I’m the type who will look over menus before leaving on a trip.

[@cloudyhills]

Ahhh, freshly roasted Hojicha sounds incredibly tempting 🤤

[@tapiocapress]

ahhhh we are going to Japan too in December! Have the best time there

[@cloudyhills]

How long will you be there? We're there for 2 weeks and while planning everything it already seems too short!

[@hellolt603]

As another noodles/ramen lover here’s one recommendation you must eat in Tokyo- please visit Tatsunoya at Shinjuku to eat their tsukemen, absolutely delicious and the best tsukemen I’ve ever eaten in my life. Could get busy during peak dinner time so I’d recommend go super early say around 5.30-6pm for dinner! (Or check if they’re open for lunch)

[@cloudyhills]

Ah I've never tried Tsukemen! I've got to!

[@mayat.3672]

Hi! I love your videos 😊 I would recommend squeezing in some time in Kyoto while you’re in Osaka as well. It’s an hr or so by train. Hope you have a safe trip!

[@cloudyhills]

We've been to Kyoto before, had a greaaaat time there! 😊

[@svrupani]

Enjoy the Making of Harry Potter studio tour! I went for 4pm and the evening was lovely -- everything outside was magical.

[@cloudyhills]

Oh!! We're going at 12:30, guess I have to stay the entire day there to see the evening views >:)

[@svrupani]

@@cloudyhills it will take about five hours to complete and sunset when you are here should be about 17:30 so ample time to see the evening glow against the lighted bridge and other things. One huge tip: while written information and some parts are in English, the interactive parts are not always announced well enough and plus in Japanese. So make sure to keep your eyes and ears open! Enjoy! I was sad to see my old amusement park go but having seen what it turned into, I’m not sad anymore!

[@jessicajames4493]

In Germany we don‘t say salmon, wie say Lachs. ❤

[@maiforster6177]

Japanese living in Berlin here🙌🏻 I love the tofu from that brand too! They're just soooo expensive compared to Tofus in Japan tho... I love cold somen on a hot summer day too and my German husband doesn't like cold noodles either😅😂 Its so sad but I can only make it when he's not home😂

[@cloudyhills]

If only you lived in Munich, we could have cold tofu and cold somen all the time without our husbands 😉

I love your books, but I couldn't not smile when I saw the topic "Einen Beschwerdebrief schreiben" at 5:48 😂 this is too german

[@thereversepolarbear]

In the UK 'salmon' has a silent ''L', so it's pronounced 'Sa-mon' - and the 'a' sound is shorter or longer according to the accent.

[@cloudyhills]

Hmm... In Singapore we don't really have flea markets like in Europe. There's either these markets called "pasar malam" where people sell affordable but new knick knacks, clothes and food; or "pop up markets" where it's small businesses with crafty things like self-made jewellery, candles and maybe some secondhand (but still new looking) clothes!

Hi Wendy ❤️ Soft/silkened tofu is most delicious to eat out of the packet or boiled in soup, while firm tofu is great for frying (coat with panko for extra crispiness!)
