"Getting to Know Miko"

[Gizametalman]

MMmmhhh??

Maybe, hey, did you just want to see Japan?

What if you just... you know, move to a Japanese Colony? (or Town) in your country (¿US?)

amm In Japan, foreign people doesnt have right to have theyr own "shop", also foreign people doesnt have right to "win" money as any japanese worker.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, SMART, YOUNG, AND YOU HAVE THE WORLD IN YOUR FEET. DO SOMETHING!

Greetings, my english is getting worst since i started my japanese class...

BTW: Mexico is a nice place to live ^-^

[ShadowKage]

no updates for a year? Everything ok? Last video I saw you were preety upset about failing your drivers test. Keep your head up!

[RedHairedGuyKiKu]

i hope you'll go to other countries cam ur self and tell us ur experiences...^^

[harr7959]

Miko-

I would like to hear more about why you wouldn't want to raise your kids in Japan. Also, why would you chose to raise them in the u.s. over Japan?

Just wondering:)

[shumporange]

totally agree about the food and tv shows. there's always something off about them

[shumporange]

i agree, i've never found the right kind of pizza here in Japan

[Mofat]

Japanese tv is really weird haha.

[Raymasaki]

I Love Hokkaido also. JP pizza is odd BUT i like Tempura vetables.

NOT shrimp. JPTV can be boring sometimes & the comercials play in the same order continuosly. But i like many J-Dramas.

[artsho]

is it just me?

or does it look like she needs to get fucked?

p.s cool vidz. im a native fluent japanese speaker in norcal. im plannin to study there for at least a year. nice to see vids of ppl that are there now.

keep it comin

[daiquirikiss]

@artsho I need to get fucked? ps cool videos? Is this a compliment or degrading? I leaning towards the latter.

[artsho]

@daiquirikiss it was neither. just making an observation and stating my opinion. i do enjoy your work though...

[goodsheperd100]

@daiquirikiss What`s wrong with him ,, lol

[SilverGunZoO]

what I don't like the most in jpn tv is variety shows where they bring random pretty girls or guys, just to look pretty...

I mean ...wtf ?

[dansam39]

if you have an opportunity to travel India some day please don't forget to visit Sri Lanka ....

if you haven't heard about the country before...

[solidiquis1]

I donated $15 which should hopefully set your donation mark at a multiple of 5. Hope you get your Mac and continue this hobby of yours :] !!!!

[solidiquis1]

Wait, you make videos according to the amount of donations you receive? I'll be more than happy to donate then because i find these videos very, very very very informative. You're blog is also very informative I might add. Who knew that Japan lacked peanut-butter and marshmellows! I plan to study abroad in Japan someday and so I want to squeeze just about every single bit of info I can get from youtubers such as you. Japan is my fav place on earth!

[Hikosaemon]

Please come and make nice deli sandwiches by Tokyo station - and don't be shy. WE'RE VERY FRIENDLY!!! :)

[loveGhabizai]

I like u

[KINKICHIHOU]

A client pays 100 million yen to a TV station for her CM to broadcast. Then the TV station makes a program which costs 5 million yen or so. So only 5 percent is used for the program. How come a good TV program is made in Japan?

[loveGhabizai]

Hi,

where r u come from?cute face..speaking english ...I Like U i m in Maebashi can we meet.........

[baekhyme]

Used to live in Japan for a while(7years) in my childhood as a Korean. I think letting our kids have chances to live in other countries from their earliest stage of their lives can gift them with a lingual ability. It is certainly a gift to be able to speak and use the language just as if you are one of them. I would definately take my kids out to other countries if I have chances. It not only let them learn the language, but also gives them a more broad minded and open minded attitude...

[ongakuserendipities]

i would LOVE to see you make smth japanese bc i am always cooking japanese food at home and would like to see okonomiyaki since i have been thinking about making it for a while. also, what do you think of the visual kei scene over there and japanese bands (i.e., the gazette, alice nine, ayabie etc. ? ) have you heard of them and are they extremely popular over there?

[hcm9999]

Hello! Is your computer Windows? Why can't you edit videos with Windows Movie Maker?

[daiquirikiss]

@hcm9999 MTS files...

[hcm9999]

@daiquirikiss If you search "convert mts files" you will find a lot of sites that tell you how to convert the files to avi or wmv formats. Have you tried these programs?

[daiquirikiss]

@hcm9999 yes... the conveted file never turns out good. It's my computer's fault.

[dragonballz0]

@daiquirikiss こんにちは Miko, I can give you a hand easily. :) I've been using a software that can convert many different types of formats to either AVI (for your video editor program) or MP4 (for uploading to Youtube, using on iPod or similar device, etc).

I'd like you to send me a sample MTS file, to make sure the output of the file comes out the way it should. Plus, I want to create easy to follow startup instructions for you as well. :)

Please keep up the videos, they're helping me a lot. ^_^

[reemQ8iya]

Im in love with bentos

can you make a video of how to make one thats cute but kind of simple?

thx ^,^

[Rei0zero]

nice! i'd like to travel & live in other places too

[inuboi93]

umm, how did u start living in japan?? i would really looovvvveee to live there, my parents won't let me do foreign exchange and i'm still a minor. so.. any advice on saving up for japan or anything like that??

[daiquirikiss]

@inuboi93 save up enough money for a plane ticket. That's all. Then when you graduate, apply for an ALT program.

[boringnation]

へええ！漬物が好きじゃない？

納豆と漬物はおいしいと思う

[BruceIno]

If you can replicate the taste of sushi in Hakodate on my tongue, I will pay for whatever software you want. But you can't hahaha!!

[daiquirikiss]

@BruceIno was that a "na na na na boo boo, I eat candy, you eat glue" tease?

[Mofat]

Is there a special type of Japanese pizza?

[daiquirikiss]

@Mofat mentaiko with mochi and mayo.

[Mofat]

WOO PIZZA, I LOVE PIZZA!

[Dancingstagequeen]

why wouldnt you want to raise a kid in japan? Come to scotland!! it is awsome!!

[daiquirikiss]

@Dancingstagequeen read my blog and you'll find out why.

[daiquirikiss]

@S7EVENTV ahh kansai people. It's not they they're less polite.. they just weren't born with a stick up their ass :-p But yea, the dialect there is waaay different. Sorry, I've never lived there and don't know their dialect.

[pain303]

you think japanese are bad about pickling? wait til you see korea.

if you get a chance to visit okinawa, i would not hesitate to go. it's a beautiful country.

[crippin798]

hm.

[artboy598]

I wish I could donate, but I'm not even out of school yet T_T. You should try Amazon.com though for shopping if you like to shop online. Really good deals there ^_^

[daiquirikiss]

@artboy598 Amazon? I know them. They're not that big and successful, but I've used them a few times. :-p

[goldendragonbringer]

So Japanese don't pick any pecks of pickled peppers....I should have known.

I'm glad for that guy's questions though. I wouldn't have thought of them.

And I definitely recommend going to Korea! That's where I'll be spending most of my life anyway. ^^
