What a disappointment this is what I used to like about them
A bit sad. Anxiously awaiting to see what exactly their plan will be…..🫤
Same! Sad!
Not a fan of the change, this was my favorite part about flying southwest
Be sure to read the forums. This is a BAD company. They SYTEMATICALLY ripped us off for $3200. Full on ripped us off. We Tried to change dates within 24 hours and they cancelled our flights and kept the cash. wouldn't even let us keep the original dates. Basically robbed us. We are not the only ones. Read up on them. We dropped our Venture Capital card due to their apathy and so our credit took the hit. But right is right. Zipair is a nightmare. Maybe they only want Japanese people using their airline? Not very Japanese. I see them as theives. Caveat Emptor.
Love your videos! I wish my 7 year told eats everything, he doesnt eat anything, picky eater. That's what's stopping me from going to Japan with him :( Already been twice with friends and hubby
Awwww maybe his taste will change soon? Or his eyes could be opened in a new way???? Wishful thinking?
I ve been to Japan twice with friends and husband, possibly next year we will go to Japan with our 7 year old. I m a bit worried about the walking, he's not a walker haha
The walking is hard but worst case you buy an umbrella stroller like we did 😆
🤯 You can MAKE mochi ice cream?
😆yesssssss
I read somewhere that Zipair will discontinue flights to and from SFO which is why they haven't released flights beyond Oct 2024. Is this true? I have seen on a blog but have not successfully found a reputable site to support this statement.
I think it’s problematic that Kewpie sources cage-free eggs in its products in Europe and the United States but not in any other regions. Why should your consumers in Asia settle for eggs from filthy, disgusting cages?
🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great ideas!
Thanks! I love starting the day on a good note!
💛...boomer, here...
...you'd be surprised what we keep...
Your cookers are so dirty.
❤
Which ones have you had?
Thank you for the information. I just wondering about that.
Glad it was helpful!
Currently here in japan. Its really Delicious especially ice cold
Enjoy the tea and your time! What cities are you going to?
@@thisjalife I'm currently residing in Hokkaido because of work and I'm planning on going to Sapporo and Osaka
@dzindzerbread I’ve never been to Hokkaido - on my list!
Thanks for the idea of putting the rest in the freezer. Love this tea.
Yes! I think i got the habit from my mom - everything in the freezer 😆
Try swerve
Looks like the mix of erythritol and oligosaccharides. I know they mix this in with monk fruit sugar too!
Still a bit confused. If I choose the plan A, am I still allowed to bring those carry on bags
Yes if it says +8kg you should get additional weight for your regular carry on
Thanks for the info. 2 carry on bags free total 15 lbs for both. Bag size 15.7” x 9 8” x 21.6” 13.8” x 9.8” x 17.7” How can I change to upgrade my flights to lie flat? Thanks
I don’t think you can change after you buy but let me know if there is a way! You select it at the time of purchase.
I’m trying to book a flight from LAX to Tokyo but it’s asking for a Destination Address (for entering the US?) I’m not sure if they need a Japanese address we’re staying at or for when we come back to the US. Any advice?
Oh that’s interesting I don’t recall this… especially if you book before you plan anything - if it says destination address I’m assuming that’s somewhere you’ll stay in Japan?
💛...yo...
I heard this so much as a kid/student 😆
@@thisjalife ...a long long time ago, in a galaxy, far far away, i heard 'os'...
@haroldtakahashi8875 oohhh yes! Another one usually more between guys
WATCH OUT: amenities packages can only be purchased if you book on zipair directly. I booked my flight within a package deal on Expedia and was not given the option to buy any of the amenities packages, even after putting the flight onto my zipair account
💛...btw, where did that voice come from?...
It’s the text to voice feature on a video editing app hahao
@@thisjalife I hear this voice in many videos. It's so annoying and grating.
@tradetrek thanks for the feedback - testing out some efficiencies!
Oh nice, you're in Vancouver. You should make a stop one day to Toronto. We have fantastic ramen 😋 especially a spot called Touhenboku Ramen right downtown
Next time!
Brilliant and delicious!
Love these for any time snack/quick meal in Japan convenience stores!
@@thisjalife I tried making one the other day but i might’ve put too much rice and they came out huge 😂 I need to buy the mold
@ProDoc18 the beauty of making it is you can tweak it to your perfection! I love the cute molds for kid lunches! Otherwise I just usually triangle for myself.
That's so cool! What a great idea! In case I don't like natto when I try it (hope I do, but not really a fan of sticky stuff, lol), will look for this instead! Thanks a lot! <3
My family is NATTO a fan 😉
That's so cool!
A little fun added into the day! It’s the little things in life right?
Those are SO cool! Wow! Always loved the look of these in anime! lol.
I love making and eating this 💕
Wow! That all looks so cool! I love it! Wish we had stuff like that in the States! :D
I know right? When are you planning a trip back?
@@thisjalife Hopefully sometime this year, but not really sure! I'm going with my little bro and his fiancee, and they're getting married in November, so it might have to be in 2025 if they want to wait till after their honeymoon and stuff! It depends on their schedule! lol. That's okay, though! It'll give me more time to learn Japanese! Been learning since November! lol.
@7Write4This9Heart7 yesss so fun!! If you have video requests let me know!
Good to know you swear by the Zojirushi, too! I've ben eyeing one of those for when I move out! lol. Thanks for the rec! Great review!
Love everything zojirushi!!!
I started making my own natto about a month ago, and I liked it.
Love that! Do you eat it every morning?
This look so yummy and cute! Great idea!
Super easy and handy!
Haha! This was so cute! Looks so yummy! That last little bit with Kyle loving it and encouraging us to make it at home was adorable! <3
Awww thanks! He is a great encourager! He will be so happy to see this comment
@@thisjalife Haha! Yes, he is! Aw, that's awesome! I'm happy to make him happy! He deserves it! Seeing this video made ME happy! :D Thanks so much for your adorable, yummy videos! <3
That's so cool! I had no idea the Japanese had POWDERED VINEGAR! They think of everything, I swear! X'D
Honestly I didn’t either until my friend told me shortly before I made this video 😆 my mom and relatives just made it themselves or used the liquid!
@@thisjalife Haha! That's great! If it makes cooking easier, why not, right? Thanks for the tip and the great vid! LOVE sushi! Will have to remember this when I make some next! :D <3
They have DORAEMON furikake?! That's SO CUTE! I gotta try that when I go back to Japan! I love Doraemon! ;A;
Don’t we all? 😆 does Say Weee deliver to where you are? If there isn’t an Asian grocery close by that might be an option!
@@thisjalife Haha! Very true! Doraemon is a national treasure! lol. Since I live in the USA (and I think you're in Japan? Don't quote me, have only seen a few of your videos so far, haha!), I doubt they deliver to me, haha, but I can always look! BUT you know, they actually did just open an Asian market a town over from me, so I COULD go see if they have it! I've been wanting to anyway (really wanna try natto, lol)! >:D Thanks for reminding me! Your videos are adorable and so fun! <3
If I hydrated it would it be stretchy like whole bean natto?
Can you elaborate? Hydrated it how?
@@thisjalifeLike if I added the Natto powder to water and make a thick slurry. Do you think it would be stretchy like whole bean natto?
@Allhailbillcoleman I don’t think natto powder would do the same even if it tastes like it based on the powder I’m thinking of. Worth a try to see if you like the result though!
Try Bunpo guys and try HelloTalk
Where is your son
Ha is that a request for them? This was a mom treat!
"funner" is not a word. Try "more fun."
Funnier...
I probably create a lot of words or am grammatically incorrect - thanks! More fun was definitely the intention
Well I did mean more fun not necessarily funnier. Unless you meant the comments?
Well funnier is a word, so in any of the cases there was nothing wrong about it.
@andreasstahl8207 I didn’t say it was wrong just what I meant. I like things to be funnier too
I have been to Japan before but not with kids and I found that your video is the best that I have watched!! Liked and subscribed :)
Aww thanks so much! Appreciate that 💕
I use the microwave for like 3 min and its fine. Just poke holes... Maybe not as tasty as yours though.
I’m always willing to try hacks for times where I’m in a pinch!
I've been watching like a hawk. Still no update for Nov-Dec.
For us it was mid July - I’ll post when I see it out!
Great video, thank you for all the information!
Absolutely glad it was helpful! Are you planning on taking it?
read speak and write 😭💀 6:17 8:17
The trifecta! Are these apps useful for you?
@@thisjalife i've only just started the wanikani jouney, i haven't use any of the apps listed... 🤞🏾so far so good
@bendj4lyfe great! Are you starting from 0 or have some background already?
@@thisjalife from 0 💀. i'm learning radicals and i've learned they are hidden in vocabs so its fun trying to spot them
i love this stuff! I drink it almost everyday! So refreshing in the summer!
Yessss especially since it has been soon hot lately! You just reminded me to go make another batch 😆
I tried Dashing Diva once…yes, great price…but that is where it stops. Colorstreet are easier to apply, stay on better, look more like real nails, and come in so many better colors!! Worth the xtra money, to me.
I totally agree! I just used some again and it started peeling so it looked weird - would rather have it chip then peel like plastic!
First flight with them in oct. Unfortunately the plane ticket with luggage upgrade turned into similar price with air canada price with similar luggage. So will just go with it and see how it goes. Plus me and my brother dont mind buying snacks and drinks at the airport after security for thw flight. We dont like plane food anyways
You’re going with air Canada or zip?
@@thisjalife Zipair as it was the most decent at the time. Booked it in march 2024 for OCT flight. but at the time air canada was around 1.5k cad and zIp was 900. lol. but now its 1.2k from air canada. lol
It's now every 90 minutes so an even better deal! Options limited though with Subway being closed and others running out of stuff by midafternoon on weekends. There are also some (American Cafe and one other) that don't take the passes.
Whaaaaat?? Thanks for the update! That’s fascinating - I may need to make an update video!
