It's the nature of the application, the algorithms, the purposefully catered content to make us feel unworthy. It's horrible.

    My favorite Japanese food is tempura. It's so delicate and I don't necessarily feel unhealthy eating it even though it's deep fried. Also, when I went to Japan in 2019, one of my favorite types of restaurants to go to was a kushiyaki (grilled skewer) restaurant. I loved trying all the different types of skewers (my favorite was pork belly!).

    Love this video! I agree with you about IG. It feels like tik tok now and I use it less lately. It's up to you but not sure if you have one yet, I recommend a point-and-shoot camera. it's easier and just buy film itself to install the film. I'm not sure how it works in Japan compared to the USA but it would save plastic instead of buying a disposable camera every time. Disposable cameras are getting hard to get nowadays and are out of stock. Most point-and-shoot cameras have the same effect as disposable cameras as well.
