第９８回 Made In Canada: Vancouver! メイド・イン・カナダ！バンクーバー！
Hi!
Ha-ha
I’m Micaela.
I’m Canadian but I live in Japan.
I’m a video blogger.
I usually make YouTube videos about my daily life here.
But this time I’m on a new mission.
To go back to my country, Canada and introduce it to both Japan and the world, for 2 weeks I’ll be traveling across Canada by train, enjoying tons of experiences, eating delicious local foods and making new friends and I’ll be reporting all my adventures back to you, sponsored by the Canadian Tourism Commission and VLA.
This is Made In Canada…
Coming from Asia Vancouver is the most easily accessible Canadian city.
One direct flight from Tokyo will land you here about 8 hours.
It’s partially (??) thanks to this easy access that Vancouver has been able to develop as a very multi-cultural city.
(1:00)
One interesting thing about greater Vancouver is that it’s actually a little bit larger in area than Tokyo.
But it only has one 6th of the population so… for example while this is Vancouver…this same street in Japan might look like this.
Vancouver, a modest metropolitan city with easy access to the great outdoors.
Just a quick drive from Stanley Park is Capilano Suspension Bridge, a nice little slope for those afraid of heights but aside from that the nature walks in the area are highly recommended.
Grouse Mountain is also a quick stop away.
Many Vancouver (??) challenge the Grouse Grind, a steep and growing hike up the mountain but for the less physically in climb like myself there’s a tram also available to reach the top, where you’ll find a containment food and in the winter even a ski hill.
And with instance access to both the mountains and sea Vancouver offers a wide selection of fresh and delicious food.
(2:05)
It is this city of Vancouver that is a first stop (on?/of?) a longer cross-country trip and since I just happened to be born here, I decided that for my video I’d like to tag along with one of my friends as they go shopping downtown and show you where girls my age like to shop.
(Jazlin?), how did we meet?
J: Oh cheese…
M & J: LoL
J: My first time we met was in grade 3 as I recall…
M: and ah…
J Micaela invited me into the Sailor Moon club which I ….
M: Not...
M: It didn’t happen.
M: where are we right now?
J: JUGO JUICE.
M ジューゴジュース
After grabbing some juice, (Jazlin?) and I headed down to historic Gastown which was Vancouver’s original downtown core.
Now it’s a popular place for tourists but also a home to a lot of fashion boutiques and select shops.
(3:00)
M: So (??) have a dress like that and then you have some …
J: You have this over top.
M: Oh my gosh…
J: and you wear with what? …Anything you want to.
M: Anything you want because (??) Lady Gaga with it.
J: Yeah!
M: So where are we now?
J: we’re going to….which is a nice select shop.
M: Nice
I wish I could have spent a little more time in Vancouver but it was time to catch the train and head to Jasper.
My first time on VIA and I was really excited because I found out that the train will stop for 30 minutes in my hometown.
I haven’t seen my parents (for??) a really long time and it would be really nice if I can see them there.

第９７回 Harajuku Haul Video! 原宿で買い物してきた！
Hey guys!
How’s it going?
My name is Micaela and I’ve just gotten back from very hectic week in Tokyo.
I made time to visit the YouTube Creator Studio in 六本木, had a casual photo shoot with one of my favorite Tokyo photographers and I even made time to go shopping in 原宿, which is something I really wanted to do because as you know I’m heading to Canada actually in 2 hours…to some work again for the Canadian Tourism Commission.
I’m heading from Vancouver to Toronto and I wanted to have some good clothes and I kind of want to stand out a little to be honest.
It’s kind…it’s always weird going to Canada representing Japan as a white person and so I figured that like if I wore 原宿 clothes then somehow I would… it would make sense that I came from Japan or something.
Anyway so I pick some items that are kind of representing the current fashion trends here in Japan among young women like myself and I thought that maybe you would be interested in that…maybe I don’t know.
(1:00)
The first thing that I knew that I wanted was flower pants.
I’ve always wanted (pear?) flower pants but like I feel like they’re so out-there that I’m not sure if I can rock them.
I don’t know if they’re ever going to look on me but I wanted them so bad.
They were 2000 yen so 20 bucks.
I’m not really sure about the length.
I think Japanese people have shorter legs than me and smaller butts than me.
I have multiple butts.
Flower pants!
Another super cool trend in Japan right now is everything Galaxy and space themed.
Last time I was in 原宿 I bought this crazy spacy jacket thing.
I never wear it.
It’s kind of too heavy for spring so I don’t wear it now.
So this time I got something different.
じゃ～～ん！
Are these beautiful?
Are these the most beautiful space shorts you’ve ever seen?
Look at these.
They’re like shiny and silky.
These were like 25 bucks, I think.
And I love them.
They’re so insane.
(2:00)
I’m going to put them on right now.
These are like super cute.
Oh my god..
See?
Now I feel like some weird Japanese gravure idol.
Another super big trend in 原宿 right now is Bart Simpson.
Bart Simpson.
I think this is just so ridiculously terrible-looking but this is one of those things that I think that you just have to buy because it looks terrible.
This is like the kind of (your?) shirt you buy to purposefully represent yourself as someone who has no idea what they’re doing but their life…
Basically like I love it and I hate it at the same time.
And this was also about I think $30 ...2500…2900 yen…I can’t remember.
This isn’t necessarily trending but I love one pieces.
I love one pieces so I got this comic book…comic strip themed one piece which actually… it’s really cute.
I’m going to show you…I’m going to show you right now.
(3:00)
Sad woman.
Crying woman.
Weird patterns.
This is also kind of gaudy 派手.
Everything is 派手.
Today’s Japanese word of the day is 派手.
This is 派手 as well.
One of the things I also really love about pieces like this is that it’s a great conversation starter because a lot of people just love reading English that doesn’t make any sense.
I think this was about $20 as well.
So finally I knew that I wanted an accessory but I’m the type of person that loses jewelry almost instantly.
I..I decided not to get a necklace.
But these (Gian??) headphones instead.
And these were super cheap, too.
These were about 3000 yen.
For that price they’re basically an accessory.
They do work as headphones.
They function as headphones but the thing is that they’re quite loud.
I mean you can’t listen to music on a high volume but not when other people are around because they will get very frustrated with you.
(4:00)
I aim to spend about 100 bucks and I think that it’s pretty close to that but now I’m really excited because you see after this in 1 hour I’m going to ride a plane to Canada and travel across the country working for Canadian tourism.
I love some advice from you about what you would like to see in the videos.
Aside from that I’m going to try to make another Japan related video, too while I’m in there so those of you who like Japan will not feel so alienated and the Nestle videos will be up every Friday.
I hope you guys doing well and I will talk to you soon.
Yeah!
Bye♪

第９６回 NIPPON珍道中 Boxes and Dog Massages 箱と犬のマッサージ
I love bitter coffee in the morning.
Hey guys!
How’s it going?
My name is Micaela.
Welcome to (a?) another episode of ミカエラとキットNIPPON珍道中…my room edition.
Last week we visited 二子玉川 which is a really nice residential area not too far from the central of Tokyo.
二子玉川 is very famous for its beautiful river and green parks but it’s also know to have back streets of cute little select shops.
And the example of this is the Box & Needle, a one-of-a-kind store that specializes in selling…
You guessed it …Boxes!
It’s so weird because when I was told we were going to a box store, I was like “Oh…Okay..yeah…Let’s go to the box store….guys, whatever.”, but actually coming here these boxes are so cool.
They’re wrapped with...designer paper and you can choose your own paper.
(1:01)
You can customize your own boxes what you want them to look like but like they’re so cool like the colors are so bright and patterns on the outside are really vivid.
I never thought I’d find myself wanting to buy boxes as bad as I do now.
After the box store (and?) getting some amazing ideas for home decoration we headed to Pet Paradise.
We have booked Kit an Aroma massage.
I didn’t even know dogs could get aroma massages.
I don’t even get aroma massages.
A dog’s getting a much better treatment than I am.
But here at Pet Paradise there’s someone who… a specialist who will be giving Kit a massage and she’s going to be teaching me how to do it as well.
(2:00)
So we’ve got this awesome aroma spray.
This is for balance.
We also got this bee’s wax cream here which is handmade.
This is for paws.
This is to moisturize Kit’s paw’s and then we have bug repellents, citrus scented bug repellent and these have all been handmade by Miss.佳代子先生 who has taught us how to massage the dogs today.
(3:11)
Thank you so much.
These are awesome.
早くね、使ってみたいですね
I had a lot of fun learning how to get Kit a massage.
Now if only I can train him to massage me back.
See you next week!
Take care!

第９４回 ミカエラのキットNIPPON珍道中 二子玉川偏 in Futako-Tamagawa
So we’re in 二子玉川 in Tokyo and so sunny!
It’s absolutely beautiful today and there’s people out there picnicking.
They’re playing sports.
They say that 二子玉川 is one of the most desirable places to live in Tokyo because it’s so quiet even though it’s so close to the city.
They say it’s…it takes only 15 minutes by train to Shibuya from here.
I think Kit probably wants to take a look around.
He’s bored of the river.
I’m not but he is so…go…
HEY!
I’ll play~ I’ll play with you guys…
(1:00)
Let’s play!
Hi!
I’m Micaela!
Welcome to my batting lesson video!
Obviously nobody knows American baseball quite like a Canadian so I’m going to show you a few tricks.
Oh my god!!
No…No…No…
どう？
カッコイイでしょ！？
Make sure that when you hit the ball…when you actually hit it, you have to apologize.
It’s very good polite manners in baseball to say, “I’m sorry!”
(2:08)
Sorry…
Ah!
Sorry!
You should have seen it.
I was so good at the baseball game.
I hit like a thousand home runs and I think that you better watch yourself because I’m going to get offers from America.
So if you’re interested in hiring my services for your professional American baseball team, here is my phone number.
