    Great video, and I want to ask when someone whose mother language for example is english travels to a country or a city whose people , for example, speak Russian, how can this English-speaking person who does not know anything about Russian buy food and stay in a hotel room and deal with the people who does not speak english

    Air frying is such a game changer, right? Works great on sliced veggies like zucchini/squash, but you should also try broccoli and cauliflower. I also pre-dry brine chicken breasts to cook right before eating my salad, and we do skin-on chicken thighs with some light seasoning and the flavor and crispiness is unbelievable.

    Have you tried soaking a tenugui in cold water (or even water straight from the tap), wringing it out, and then draping it over your neck? I find that that's a really effective way to feel cool and it dramatically reduces the effects of the hot sun. When delivering chocolates to my friends, I used a cooler bag to keep the chocolates from melting, and left the tenugui in the bag to absorb the condensation. Afterward -- super cold towel! But that's obviously over the top and I only had done it that way since I had to keep the chocolates cold. :)

    Hey lovely! Nice bouncy curls, you look fab :) How much would you say you spend at a café vs a coworking space? I get distracted by people around me easily, so I mostly work from home (also, not a big snacker.) But I want to try and work from a public place a couple of days a week at least when I'll be in Tokyo later this year, it would be a shame to just inside all day obviously.

  • @oliviaimamura
    @oliviaimamura5 күн бұрын

    Hey you 🫶 Thank you love! Depending on whether you choose to just have a drink or a snack to go with it, I'd say 600-1500 yen would be typical. I find it to be a nice way to experience new spaces and areas. Although working from home or familiar places tends to be more efficient and hassle-free. But would definitely encourage you to try especially when travelling!

To me it sounds like you need to build your portfolio - even if you can’t get paid work, do personal projects that show your skills, passion and what you can build. If you have something good to show it’ll be a lot easier to land a job.
