 Guys, I'm finally going on my solo trip to Kyoto What are you doing? The Blossom of the Blossom Kyoto Can you check in right now? Yes, it's been 3 hours since I checked in So please let me take care of you Yes, please I think that was recommended to me nearby So I'm walking towards it It's called Weekender's Coffee I wanted to have iced Americano or iced latte This is like a legit roastery So most of their drinks are served hot Except for the cold brew So I got the cold brew and it wasn't bad Considering that I really don't usually like cold brew Barista really recommended it And she was like, it's really good So I gave it a try and it wasn't bad First of all, I'm going to have a cup of coffee Photoshop? Do I want more Photoshop on top of this? No! Nice little cozy space Lots of sunlight coming in, I like that Apartments It's 5.13pm I'm going to go back out now My dinner reservations at 8pm Because that's the only time they had available today Because it's a Saturday I'm going to head out to the Keon area And just walk around again I feel a little bit recharged Let's go! That restaurant is so pretty And also, I don't know what these flowers are Smells so good The fragrance is so strong I'm going to walk on the left side I'm like, oh, sorry Almost bumped into you The sun has set And the vibes are different Now that it's darker It's nice in the daytime too But I think with all the lighting The ambiance is a little better at night For the sunset, it was empty And now it's starting to get crowded This is a restaurant I'm going to It's called Keon Yata I'm so tired now I got there at 7.40pm And it is now 9.56pm Almost 10pm, so I ate for more than 2 hours The 9-course meal was delicious And the service on top of that Was exceptional Although it was pricey I think it was worth it And I'm glad I treated myself to that nice meal That's just how it is 4 hours of sleep last night And I did a lot of walking around In the scorching hot sun today I'll probably wake up And go to the bath house And then after that, I'm still debating What I should do I should go to one of the shrines Or temples, because Kyoto is known for them But I also don't want to go to Like a crowded area So I don't know what to do So I learned that the difference Between kaiseki and omakaze Is that kaiseki is What we kind of know as omakaze Where it's a fixed-course meal And apparently, omakaze is supposed to be When you just kind of leave it up to the chef He changes and he improvises along the way According to your taste And your reaction to the food that came out Yeah, I really enjoyed my meal And I really had fun talking to the servers And the chef, because I didn't talk to anyone the whole day And my mouth was kind of itching Ooh, I'm gonna sleep so well tonight Get my socks Going to the bath house Oh no I just missed it, it's 9 o'clock right now Okay, that was a fail Back to my room Hey, I just realized my room number 711 Okay, I guess I'm just gonna Enjoy my coffee And start a slow morning That's yummy Show me just a thumbnail A little minkyotto Okay, I'm ready I'm wearing my marine shirt That I got at the pop-up event And this is from Oatly Workshop Which they gave out as a part of their invitation To their pop-up And then this skirt I bought recently Is from Type Web Service It's a Korean brand This bag again Which I got on YesStyle A lot of you guys asked me where I got this bag And I actually got it on YesStyle So I'll link it in the descriptions Ready for day 2 To take the bus To Kiyomizu Dera So like during COVID And even post COVID I've been watching a lot of travel YouTubers Especially those who travel alone And I think that kind of inspired me to Take this trip by myself too But then like Since I'm alone I can't vlog I'm shy I should talk more But it's hard I see the Kiyomizu Dera guys It's up there So this is the entrance But guys I don't know if I could do it My entire back is sweating Oh my god so many people Okay I don't think I want to go up there Smells good Wait if this ends up tasting like pickles I'm gonna be so sad It's really really salty I'm sorry but I don't want to throw this away I like curiosity to get the best of me How can I speak Korean? I think Korean I've walked around so much that my calves are so bloated a nice bath will make me feel better after okay gotta go I'll go I'm gonna sit I'm gonna be so happy after I'm done bathing so I'm gonna go gonna go okay guys seriously be my bag fantastic my gosh feels so good it was exquisite as soon as I went in I was like and I sat in there for probably like 15 20 minutes and I came out took a shower like rice snack like a little savory rice snack how many steps did I take 17,000 I thought I did more so tomorrow I'm actually gonna meet up with one of my long-time fans she's been a lovely since like almost the beginning I've seen her for so long and she's also the same age as me so I kind of feel like we're friends but um recently she stopped by my radio to tell me that she's gonna get married in October I was like really happy for her and then I told her I was gonna come to Kyoto alone and then a few days ago she DM'd me saying that she's actually in Japan right now in Osaka I was planning on checking out Osaka for a little bit before I head to the airport since it's on the way anyways so I'm gonna meet up with her I'm really looking forward to it because honestly I miss socializing I think two days alone is good for good enough for me because I'm like itching to socialize and talk I'm enjoying it don't get me wrong like you know doing something I've never done being in a whole new city but I really kind of wish I had someone to share it with I feel like the food would be 100 times better if I had someone to eat it with and you know be like oh my god isn't this so good and whatever I see you know be like so pretty together alone it's like yeah I enjoy it but kind of doesn't feel as good as it would if I had someone with me so I just think the whole day like walking around you know I'm like looking around who can I talk to like is there someone I could talk to and when someone starts talking to me my face literally lights up like hello there yes hi and I was like okay dang I seriously need social interaction and one thing that sucks about traveling alone is you want to try as much food as possible right and we can do that when you have another person with you because you guys can share something and you guys you know you won't get ass full and you could try a bunch of different stuff but when you're alone you have to eat and finish the whole thing by yourself and although you want to try soba noodles and the tonkatsu and I don't know sushi you just have to settle for one and that's like the saddest part because when I'm curious about something like I need to try it but I know I'm gonna look back and I'm gonna miss this quality alone time that I had everything is just so zen and aesthetically pleasing architecture it's so fun just looking at the buildings the food everything was really good oh everything except like the pickles oh hell no never again this reminds me of Lisa so many things walking around so many things that I saw reminded me of her because she would always bring back Japanese goods whenever she would go home to Tokyo good night I'll see you guys tomorrow she's Japanese we're waiting in line I'm sorry for the language I couldn't speak for a while I'm here now I'm an engine why do you look so young? I used to be young I was just a kid I'm not young anymore I'm so pretty today pretty I'm a young kid I was wearing a Sailor Moon shirt and I went to a Thai restaurant The owner of the restaurant looked at me and said, Skinny got that, oh she's cute Skinny got that, oh she's cute So I was so impressed Skinny got that, oh she's cute Let's go It's really dark It's so good Let's say hello Let's go to Korea Watching and I'll see you guys in Seoul
