Week in my Life Japan 🇯🇵 Explore Morioka City with me!

[@CoffeehouseCrime]

Welcome back to the regular world! So happy for you, it’s the end of a long scary ordeal. We’re all wishing you the best of luck and success moving forward 😁☕️ Japan is so beautiful in autumn.

[@ToraxXxBS]

regular world? On which planet are you? :D

[@PigeonCarriere]

it's hilarious to see two youtubers I both watch interact 🤣

[@SavyBreci]

Wasn't expecting to see you here

[@19aridio69]

What ro you do to support yourself beside youtube?

[@froggouk2]

Yo it's CHC! Love your videos man! I have good memories of watching you and playing Cyberpunk 2077! You should do an episode on its launch, it was criminal!

[@Enoxix.]

Japan is absolutely beautiful in Autumn!

[@melonie9605]

Just to add to the 101 suggestions, my surgeon told me to use vitamin E oil and massage my surgical scars. I had 2 procedures done on both hands. On the scars I did it half a$$, you can see and feel the scaring. On the 2 I did it properly you can't tell anything was ever done. I think the key was the massaging the oil into it. 🤷‍♀️

My favourite season here for sure! 🥰🍂🍁

[@royzlatanestevez9843]

I am almost 100 years old now and I greatly enjoy watching your videos. They keep me updated on a beautiful country I last visited in 1974. So many things have changed since then...

[@P_Luke_12345]

It's awesome that both you and Chris are dropping the videos basically at the same time. Not sure if this was coordinated but it definitely helps to extend the japanese vibe. Regards from Scotland.

[@sharlainjapan]

And Ryotaro and TC! Everyone’s uploading today😆

[@karochanyue]

Same😂I just finished Chris's and saw Sharla uploaded too. It's a great night

[@MJMwildskull]

Yeah, perfect Saturday viewing

[@NimrodClover]

I have nearly no subscriptions and follow a very select and eclectic set of channels via bookmarks, yes bookmarks. Anyway the odd synchronization of 4 channels within hours of each other, in my list of the 8 I routinely follow, was just too perfect.

[@P_Luke_12345]

@@NimrodClover They're part of thay company, so definitely a coordinated effort. I aslo think that @Sharmeleon and others have the same video editors, so they've all become efficient and all share the same high quality.

[@z_zenith]

11:47 made me cry (I have tears still). The trees and leaves are so beautiful and the adorable cats are the finishing touch.

[@z_zenith]

and I'm back two days later to look at the leaves and cats again.

[@taskmaster_tulli9849]

The persimmon you are holding is a fuyu. Those you can eat more like apples. The other variety you were talking about is the hachiya. Those you do find hung and dried in Japan. They look really cool actually but are a labor intensive process to do. They are astringent if not dried or allowed to fully ripen until they are super soft and pulpy. If you have harder, less ripe, ones you can slice and dry them on a drying rack and they are super delicious. If you allow them to ripen until they are totally soft they are great to use for baking things like persimmon bread (kind of like pumpkin or banana bread).

[@HeelvsBabyface]

Great to see you recovering so well and now with added FREEDOM.

[@gangstalkingcanada5920]

That's not freedom if you have to be forced to take a PCR test and quarantine. If Japan was truly free, they wouldn't be forcing it down people's throats for a virus with a 99% survivability rate.

[@Tom_9602]

@HeelvsBabyface Hey there Az, good to see you here! :)

[@cthulhu2478]

My favorite thing to do is making my coffee and watching your vlogs whenever I have time. It's so nice 🍃 glad you're out of quarantine too!

[@DanPuaVideos]

The scene with the cats playing in the park is so precious. Thank you for making this video and sharing this with us! I hope you continue to feel better 👍

[@niconico-tan]

cats playing in the leaves gives me life. thank you for capturing that moment and sharing with us ♥

[@VannieEats]

Morioka castle park is so beautiful 😍

[@leaguillermo4454]

3:10 for the persimmons you can also wait until they get really ripe and soft, the insides make the perfect jam !!! 🍊

[@fogsmog9325]

Your jacket and beret are iconic, cool and cute, the red scenery is breath taking.

[@IssaHudgins]

Omg the kitties playing in the leaves is so cute!!!

[@stefanfrankel8157]

Planted an Asian persimmon a couple of years ago here in Maryland. Finally got *one* persimmon this year and the squirrel stole it before it got ripe. There are two types of persimmon, the kind that's sweet when it turns orange and is still firm, and the kind that has to remain on the tree until it gets soft. I have the hard kind.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Mark Rober has a whole series outlining just how intelligent and persistent squirrels are so I truly hope you'll be able to eat some before they get them all!

[@mamiedition]

Ooomg i cannot imagine waiting soo long to not even bieng able to taste it🙈

[@kathygomez7643]

The colors of the leaves are so beautiful. So happy you made it out to enjoy them and thank you for sharing with us. Can't wait for your next video.

[@KirstenReusch]

Wow, those leaves are stellar and love the kitties playing in them. Hope the blood work comes back with great results. On to adventure, huzzah freedom!

[@niteotter]

There are words adequate to describe how beautiful the fall leaves are in Japan. Thank you for capturing that for those of us who cannot travel there. Happy Freedom from quarantine!

[@Supadrumma441]

The scar tissue will take at least 1-2 years to lose the 'red" colouration Sharla. I know cause my mom had the same surgery about 10 years ago. It sucks, but hang in there. You got this.

[@sharlainjapan]

Good to know, thank you!! ☺️

[@Supadrumma441]

@@sharlainjapan You are very welcome.

[@hollyxytphh]

Love persimmons these crunchy ones are so tasty and I’m not even a fruit person. On a side note put silicon plaster on your scar and it will heal so much better

[@neulasia]

it's different for everyone. my mom had the red a week or two tops and it has healed really neatly. i swear by 100% essential lavender oil for all wounds, i'm never w/out a bottle.

[@KiraHunter2310]

You meant Sharla right? Not Charlotte

[@CozyCorysCorner]

I work in a dermatology and skin surgery clinic.. we recommend people use the silicone patches for scars all the time. Also the redness with your scar will take a few months to return to flesh tone color.

[@xim9na]

😍 I love to watch this type of videos to start my day. They motivate me to start moving ♥ I'm so glad that you're ok despite the quarantine and that you're free now!

The fall leaves look so beautiful, literally gave me chills looking at it!

[@paigealw]

Did anyone else pause in the middle of the video to go grab a skincare box?? 😁 I’m so excited for mine! I’ve always wanted to try Korean skincare products but didn’t know where to start…thank you, Sharla, for curating one for us, so now I have no excuse to keep putting it off!

[@jennazofia]

Haha your videos always go up as I’m about to have breakfast for the day! It’s become like my routine to watch your videos while I eat, always a relaxing way to start my day~

[@Kirsten._._]

Your skincare boxes are the best. I got an extra last time 😆 Nothing beats the green tea cleanser and the toner!

[@BobaT__]

I love Morioka. Such a chill country part of Japan. Their onsen was one of the highlights of my trip there. Especially while it’s snowing outside.

[@jgrady9553]

Beautiful park, loved the cats playing and always like to see good dining

[@kisskisskitsune]

The cats playing in the leaves was great. I also think November in Japan is the best.

[@annalisetholberg3458]

From my own experience with surgeries (one on my hand to re-attach a torn ligament and a couple on my back to remove some moles), it can take around a year for the redness/pinkness around the scars to fade. I'm glad you're doing well and have finished quarantine without issue :)

[@beejeeto9808]

Wow the whole japan crew are back in action dropping videos. Good deal

[@Cevetan]

The colours of the leaves are absolutely stunning and I loved the little detail with ALF and the Mogwais! :) Wish you to get better every day!

[@rawilson7768]

Wow those red maple leaves were glorious. Thanks for sharing them

[@rachelcathey3920]

Don't worry about the scar! I've had 3 C sections and scars take just takes a long time to heal. But scars also give people more character! Plus think of all the crazy stories you could make up about it when people ask 😂🤗❤

[@ViktorErikFade]

Hehe , just tell Japanese folks who ask just reply with "ah, I've survived a scary ordeal ...." And just don't go into detail 😂 It's not a lie, And leaving things to the imagination is such much more funny and half the work

[@mamiedition]

I have a stomach tattoo and my docter/ nurses wanted to work UNDER it (to not mess the tattoo up)🤣🤣 i thought it was so funny .but i was thinking no cut in it so it gets lost BUT yea its been 7years and its pretty much going away on its own

So glad to hear that!! 🥰🥰

[@neotek8582]

You’re my guilty pleasure. I don’t normally watch/subscribe to channels like yours, but I’ve been a lurker for a while. I always get a sense of comfort and warmth from your videos. I’ve been yearning to visit Japan, but I have two full sleeves and know I’ll face some restrictions because of my tattoos. Perhaps I’ll make the trek next year if things open up again.

[@zoe_dawg]

Just curious what do tattoos have to do with it???

[@neotek8582]

@@zoe_dawg Japanese culture still frowns upon tattoos. Yakuza related taboo in part. Most onsens won’t allow you entrance and a few restaurants won’t serve you unless you cover up.

[@zoe_dawg]

@@neotek8582 oh jeez. That's kinda stupid on their part. Tattoos don't make someone bad. Sorry

[@jessicaw87]

Love your videos Sharla! Regarding the scar it can take around 1-2 years (out of own experiences) before it turnes white and it needs to be protected from the sun at all time and easiest way is to keep a adhesive plaster/patch covering it until it turns white :’/ at least that’s what I know! Bless

[@kathlinke1130]

Wow, those leaves!! I bet they looked 100 time better in real life 😍

For the « plum » type persimmon they get very sweet if you let them mature long enough and also the texture is so fun to eat! A bit like jelly.

[@AndeRabe]

2:58 In Japan, Germany and France (and probably some other countries), Persimmons are also called Kaki (latin: "Diospyros kaki"). The plum-shaped kaki are sweet as well, but they have to be ripe (dark orange color and a bit mushy is usually a good indication). No trying needed.
