I just wanna tell this, we all love foreigner who have good impression to Japan. I hope u have great time there!!

[@rklmbd2934]

My favourite thing in the world to do is go somewhere for the first time. My second favourite is meeting people experiencing my country and my city for the first time because they often see things that I no longer notice and it's like a refresh. And my third favourite is stumbling on videos like this one of someone else's first days in a completely new place. Thank you, enjoyed seeing Tokyo through your eyes!

I am always left in awe with how you manage your study and social life. Most part of my life i have seen uni students complaining and not talking much about the good side. Uni is stressful i get it. I am in Tech field and sometimes it get so overwhelming i feel like not even god can save me but then you appear and i am so motivated to get back on track. I genuinely cannot put in words to explain how much i love your video and how good impact they leave on me. Can't wait for another episode!!! All the best wishes for your future.

Travelling solo for the first time is scary but you meet so many amazing friends along the way . All the interactions were so cute . I'm only 15 and contemplating whether to study medicine . If by chance you read my comment , could I know why you choose to study medicine . I sincerely hope that I can accomplish as much as you . Good luck as you embark on this new adventure .
