[@ELTExperiences]

What a *pukka* video! Nice to see the blossoms in full bloom in Japan. I went off to a Buddhist monastery with family last weekend and there was a huge festival to celebrate the cherry blossoms in Korea. It was *_well pukka_* ! 😅

[@senfulsarah6663]

Watching this on my t.v. but after hearing "Major Life Changes",,,, I had to get on my phone and ask/wonder,,,,, Where is Martina moving to next?!! 😅 I've been super busy this year, so I look forward to days like today where I can chill n binge watch your uploads. Cannot wait to see what's next.❤

[@senfulsarah6663]

P.S. will we get to see you and Sharla do a collab in Japan anytime, EVER?? I feel like it'd turn out great

[@spectral__]

I think we've reached the point where Dan cares more about supporting Martina than his aversion to the camera lol

[@SS-vt1hb]

Dan has aged into a fine wine, i remember him being this baby faced sk8r boi.

[@abbyng7822]

is he also a vlogger?

[@KingKogi]

No, he’s not at all! Hence why I lured him onto camera with pie 🥧 haha

[@KingKogi]

And he’s still a sk8r boi 🍷+ 🛹

[@lavahead146]

Danny boy really said “I’ll be on camera ONLY if you supply adequate treats” 😂

[@nitetygress]

Yey Martina and Dan! It is like seeing old friends. Been with you from the very beginning of your KZbin journey. Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures!

[@thescrappay]

Hi Martina!! TMI, but I want to thank you so much for the impact you have had on my life. I have CPTSD and recently told my therapist about "Build A Ladder" which got me through some of my darkest days. You have had a lasting impact on so many people, and you continue to do so. Thank you for bringing us on these adventures, and also sharing the less than stellar days with us as well. Build A Ladder has helped me remember to be kind to and care for myself even when depression and anxiety are telling me otherwise. Showing myself love has helped me recover from what had become a debilitating mental health struggle. Thank you Martina!!

[@LaynieFingers]

Yep... I don't know about you, but nobody can bully me the way I bully myself. I'm trying to learn to be kinder to myself... and building a ladder helps a lot.

[@thestarspark2288]

Hey! I have complex trauma 🙃 build a ladder definitely helps. It also actually links to psychology/science, the polyvagal ladder is a way of imagining our nervous system as a ladder, with ventral vagal at the top, sympathetic in the middle, and dorsal vagal at the bottom.

[@liltrooper29]

As a fellow disabled person I love how you put the accessibility for the shop you are visiting.

[@KingKogi]

I’m happy to point it out! I think people who don’t have to use mobility aids, or don’t have painful body parts take these types of things for granted. I don’t think it comes from a bad place; it’s just hard to know what you should appreciate if you’ve never lost it or been challenged.

[@venturefanatic9262]

It's the little things that add up.

Dan on camera! Martina, you done broke that boy! 😂. Thank you for another great visit to Tokyo. Now I’m going to have to reproduce that chocolate/caramel/shortbread thing. So, was it salt or sugar. My money’s on salt. 😊

[@KingKogi]

it was salt indeed! Such a great balance to the THICC caramel! And yes, Dan is slowly being lured out onto camera for in exchange for PUKKA pie.

[@linited]

If you look up a caramel slice you should find an easy enough recipe. Otherwise, shortbread base, caramel centre (a dulce de leche style cooked caramel is delicious), chocolate layer on top (if it cracks even better), then a sprinkle of flaky salt (but fancier than standard Aus bakery). Damn now I want some

[@LylaMoonbell]

Look up millionaire shortbread! Preppy Kitchen has a good recipe for it. Might need a double caramel layer for one like Martina had!

[@SotoAivalis]

Hello from Sydney this is an Australian caramel slice, Google the recipe it is very easy to make and super duper yummy. Can’t wait for the big news, Martina!

[@kauaijohn]

@@SotoAivalis Thank you! I found a great recipe that looks almost identical to the one Martina ate in her video. I’m going to the store later today and will definitely get the ingredients. Hopefully, I’ll have my own Australian Caramel Slice this weekend! Thanks, again!

[@kichan]

I'm a simple person. I see that Martina has posted, and I click for some wholesome, leisurely, old school KZbin. Also, I've never met someone around my age who matches my aesthetic more.

[@kraziecande]

I truly hope the big changes coming are exciting adventures and are good things! Thank you for all you do!

i love how much focus you put on accessibility in your videos and travel guides. its not something most people consider and it means a lot to me and others with mobility challenges! ❤

[@nicoler.8581]

As a wheelchair user, I agree 100%!

[@Peachypeach369]

So TikTok showed me a vid about EDS and then I randomly remembered that Martina had that so went down a rabbit hole and rediscovered her. In the mean time I didn’t know what happened to “them” cuz I stopped watching for a while but man here I am to support her! And here I shall continue! Martina I missed you!

[@KingKogi]

Welcome back, glad you found me. You have a lot of videos to catch up on 😙

[@dearydarling]

I had one of these days recently and oh my! I had been housebound for years and last year i got an electric scooter. Life. Changing. doesn't even begin to describe what it was like to have independence again. Then, winter came and i was so surprised how hard it hit me. I'd suffered being housebound for over a decade and i can't get through one winter??? But oh oh oh the other day, after weeks of pain and migraines, i was just barely able to drag myself out into the glorious warm and sun and independence, it was picture perfection. The little squirrels i feed at the park remembered me and my girlsquirl came and ate from my fingers without hesitation ... and then i rode down my gorgeous block, someone smiled at me as i passed and i just started sobbing on my scooter with ridiculous joy lol. I sometimes wonder if people who don't suffer with chronic illness/pain know this kind of elation.

[@KingKogi]

I feel you exactly. We suffer a ton, that’s for sure. And it isn’t instant, but if you practice searching out joy, you’ll see and feel the things that people who haven’t experience suffering cannot experience. It is both a curse and a blessing ✨ we are superheroes haha

Martina I would love to see an updated video from you with how you're managing your EDS. Just got diagnosed, I'm 25. Engaging abs for every movement helps tons!

[@katiedaniels5298]

I remember watching you everyday in middle school and on and off again until now in college. Watching this video I could not stop grinning from ear to ear. From the sailor moon shoes, relatable bang drama, and the Dan-meo (Dan Cameo obviously lol) I was just transported to a place of happy vibes that really helped me snap out funk I've been in for the past couple weeks. I am forever grateful for the place on the internet that you have been able to provide Martina Lots of Love xoxo

[@KingKogi]

Wonderful to hear I can still bring you a smile 😊

[@Hyacent]

I've been following your channels since I was 17. I'm 29 now, and when I walked out of a cardiology appointment last week with a diagnosis of EDS, my first thought was "build a ladder." It's been a lot to take in, but knowing that we have people like you advocating makes it a little bit easier. 😺

Martina! The Miss Pinky beverage you were drinking wasn't a cider lol it's a sour ale! Sour ales are my favorite! I started liking them when they were a fad in Alberta, and they became increasingly harder to find once they weren't as trendy. But they are still quite popular in British Columbia, so I'm able to find them from time to time still but less so now. Also Hello from Canada 👋

7:52 But let's be honest Dan, it doesn't take much to be better than a Pukka Pie! In the UK these days Pieminister is where it's at, the premium commercially made pie. Higgidy used to be great but now they put hardly any meat in their pies.

[@KingKogi]

I’ll pass this info onto Dan! Pieminister is a hilarious name!!

I triggered my shoulder instability somehow yesterday so this is feeling very relatable! Also whenever I describe spring in Tokyo I always tell people how perfect the temperature is!! I hate the heat (which is ironic because I'm likely moving to Tokyo again during peak summer....) but Spring is always just the perfect mix of sunshine and not too warm weather! Bonus: Im hoping to open a cafe in Tokyo with esspresso coffee and seeing this guys pie shop (as an Aussie myself) is getting me excited!

[@almavogler]

Loved this video, got such good vibes from it, so comforting. Idk if anyone else mentioned it (probably yes) but the word pukka has an interesting history. From what I know its military slang, and actually is a Hindi loan word. I think pukka in Hindi means "proper", "por real": Like, a paved road is a "pukka road", or a solid house is a "pukka house"; (please correct me if I'm wrong). There's actually many loan words from hindi in the English language, it's fascinating.

[@KingKogi]

Love all this info! This is exactly the kind of nerdy extra stuff I love learning about. Once I learn something like that, it sticks in my brain.

[@EyseaSol]

We have savoury pies here in the Southern US too. We call them pot pies. You have to look for the delicious butter crust ones, or make them. =D It was so nice to get out and about with you guys on a nice spring day. My arm's giving me trouble this year, besides everything else. I've been going on as many spring walks as possible. Our cherry tree died last year, but the neighborhood still has Chinese magnolias and other pretty foliage!

[@hanagara1907]

I have issues walking (I've been to Tokyo several times so I know accessibility). Stairs are difficult but doable and I'm thinking next time it might be worth it for the tacos! I'm a Brit and I REALLY WANT one of those pies but then I'm like "yeah...but it's 3 flights...think if what you want is sold out...plus going in winter, roof seating might be cold..."

How in the heck did you ever find Punk Doily (yeah, apparently it's Doily, not Dolly)? I checked out the Google reviews for it, and it has 163 reviews with an average score of 5.0 -- in my entire internet life, I have NEVER seen any shop or restaurant with that many reviews and an average of 5.0. Absolutely mindblowing! Certainly not the most readily accessible spot from Kichijoji, but you know what? One of these weekends, I am absolutely THERE. That looks way too good to pass up! EDIT: As does Chelas. Man, Oyamadai seems like a real hidden gem of a place! I will definitely need to add that to my weekend itinerary sometime soon. Thanks for the awesome video, and so glad you're feeling better now!

[@KingKogi]

Oyamadai ROCKS 🪨 I hope you visit. 1) check out the taiyaki shop next to the train tracks. He makes custard and chocolate custard (on top of the usual) and they are MIND BLOWNING GOOD. 2) KALM (a coffee shop and it is so quiet and amazing.) try the hand drip and the carrot cake. And go upstairs ☀️ 3) there are 5 ramen shops on the street, all good for different reasons. Great after a night of drinking 😉 That’s just the icing on the cake, this is a great area. I find these kind of spots because I scroll through Google maps on days that I can’t leave the house. It makes me feel like I’m exploring the side streets, and I save locations that seem interesting. After I read reviews, organize them on Google Maps into categories, and then I visit them on days I’m feeling good.

[@Wyrdwad]

@@KingKogi I do that too, but usually, the places I find wind up being disappointing. Unless all I'm looking for is a park that's fun to explore -- I can find those, no problem! Tokyo's practically littered with 'em. Good restaurants and cafes and such, though, I seem to have... whatever the opposite of a knack is, for picking them. Heheh. Glad you're here to fill in for that deficiency, though! Makes things a lot more fun, that's for sure. ;) I don't think I'll be able to hit up Oyamadai for a while, but I'll bear all of this in mind when I do! Thanks for the tips! In return, all I can really offer is pizza advice, but I will say, the two best pizza places I've found in Japan so far are both right near Mitaka Station, and they're both really cool for different reasons. Pizza-ism serves American pizza by the slice, and is run by one single dude who's really passionate about pizza -- he studied pizza-making in New York, speaks pretty fluent English, and loves experimenting with new flavor combinations, offering a new creation of his on the menu every month. My favorite of his so far was probably October's, which was pumpkin pepperoni pizza with cardamom, though last month's pork and beans pizza was also pretty amazing, and there was a Sloppy Joe pizza in there somewhere too that was pretty outstanding. Basically, everything he serves up is incredible, and I can't recommend the place highly enough. The other place I recommend is... I think just called Musashino Campus? But I know it better by my nickname for it: Production I.Gzza. Because it's literally a pizza parlor on the first floor of anime studio Production I.G's head office. There are two rooms within the pizza parlor filled with doodles and messages on the wall from various voice talents, producers, directors, etc. involved with various entertainment projects, so that alone makes it kind of a neat place to check out -- but the pizza is also shockingly some of the best around. It doesn't LOOK it when it's first served, though, as it's extremely WET pizza -- an absolute mess to eat, and just looks really greasy and feels completely saturated and kind of gross to hold in your hand. But then you realize, that's not grease -- it's, like, curry oil, I think? The pizzas are literally dripping with curry oil, and the flavor of it infuses every last pore of the glutinous crust. It's REALLY GOOD. You will need to wash your hands after you're done, but the flavor definitely sticks with you! So, yeah. Good places to check out, if you're ever in the mood for some pizza! One New York, one Neapolitan. Both pizzalicious! Not much of an equivalent exchange for your info on an entire shopping arcade I didn't know existed -- but hey, I'd feel bad taking that penny without leaving one of my own, you know? ;)

[@ancientflounder]

Oyamadai is definitely a nice spot to spend an afternoon. If you are into coffee, Alpha Beta Coffee Roasters is like 2 minutes walk east of Oyamadai Station. That's also worth a stop for a pick-me-up beverage.

Glad your feeling well enough to go have adventures! I too have EDS and totally understand. You rock! Take care and best of luck with your life changes!

You know what I mean. I try to enjoy a good day with full happiness. And then the next day, I am often wiped out haha but the memories are worth it!

[@kellinomnom]

@@KingKogi yes! I keep exploring as my body let's me. I amended my comment and then KZbin told me you responded so! I'll say it here again: all the luck and good times to you on your upcoming life changes. You were the first person I saw that had all the symptoms I had and gave me a direction for self advocacy with my doctors. Thank you for sharing! ❤️

I loved the pies! They looked so delicious. Thank you, Martina for your videos. I've been watching for years, usually with my dog, Princess Kashmir, at my side. She just crossed the rainbow bridge last month and while it's been very rough without her. My partner and I have been trying to do small adventures to keep ourselves moving forward and basking in the sun whenever we can in her memory. Your videos are like a warm hug and they always bring a smile! Also, matching the bathroom decor was adorbs! I would've 100% took pics in the bathroom too!

Martina, I’ve watched your videos (in every iteration) since my kpop-obsessed middle school days, which was a long time ago now lol! 😅 You were my inspiration for wanting to teach English abroad and you continue to inspire me to explore the world around me and persevere no matter what! I love your videos and I’m about to move to Japan this summer, where I will explore on my own in the ways you have in your videos! I can’t wait to see what I find on my own adventures! Thank you for continuing to create, inspire, and for being you! ❤
