Gurl, i hope u make a tiktok account ❤❤❤ i want see more of the cute cats

The most famous from Japan that I know is Maru

Hey @RachelandJunAdventures I wanted to share that I paid for 3 months subscription with sakuraco because of your recommendation from aug-oct but was very disappointed by the unethical experience. This month, they automatically charged me for a re-subscription without any warning or opportunity to cancel. I immediately tried to cancel and wrote in within 5 minutes, but they lied and said that the box had already been shipped (within a few minutes of billing? really?). They also refused to cancel the future two months' of boxes. On one hand I like how they support Japanese communities and content creators like yourself, but this experience really soured my views on this unethical company.

@@tvanalog1839 Especially Pichi; haven't seen her in so long.

Hello Rachel and Jun. I hope you are open to two points of criticism. These are hopefully coming across as my humble opinion and not harsh words. The first one is, that the commercial parts are getting too long in my opinion. I know, people can just scroll forward, but I don't like that. I enjoy supporting good content creators. But 4min out of 20 for product placement is not a good ratio. I can imagine you two being happy for having sponsors and in your earlier videos those weren't either possible or shorter versions. But for quite some time now, it gets too much. Second, and this is also just my opinion, I think the product is not a good one. Not because of the quality of the snacks and such itself, but everything around it. I try to believe that this company tries to be environmentally friendly and of course there gave to be compromises. But these boxes look like 80% is packaging and lots of that is plastic. That's not coming close to even being considered environmentally friendly. A big part of your channel was/is trying to live with a small environmental footprint, where it's possible. And for me, this sponsor has the opposite vibe. I'm sure the idea of making local food and snacks more known is a good idea. But this sort of product should not use environmental friendly tags or advertisement as part of their product. I hope you can take this criticism as my humble thoughts. I really do like your videos and content. I'm still going to watch future videos, but product placements like this will be fully skipped from now on.

Had to giggle at that haha. I want to steal the sentence now, but no one will get what I'm talking about xD

Goodbye, Mr. Benjamin...😢

I might just start saying that each time I spend 100 dollars as well.

Teach a man to fish, and all that... But also, it's a SAW. If my neighbor asked to borrow something so dangerous from me (if I had a saw), I would also take the time to show them how to use it if they've not used one before. Lest I next hear them screaming and clutching their hand (or what remains of it) to their chest...

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley There are people that don't know how to use a saw?

Oh a CHAINsaw, commented before watching lol

@@patrickchang9135 😂😂

japanese neighbors are usually great to each other, almost like family. at least in the more rural areas

I recently took a chainsaw class and I had pretty much the same reaction when we went over how to sharpen, it was such a mood

I totally get how he, as someone into kitchen knives, would feel about this cool new thing.

Ohhh..!! I did not catch that either 😅

And then Jun not getting Rachel’s milf joke😂 how cute they are !😊

@@isabellamaria5632 right?? she slipped that one in so quickly i doubted my hearing lol

Wait wha-? I need to rewatch, I missed Rachel’s joke completely

@@heppahullu it’s right after 2:07 best to start the section at 2:02

I don’t think their life is so mundane! 😅

They are the only ones i watch 😅😊

Yeah I wish we had done this sooner! It's so much easier to work with, haha

Oh, they do that here with the siding on old houses! I should've thought of that. Thanks for the info! :D

A other option would be to use wood tar. it has the same properties but you can use it without fire. or a combination of both.

I'm thinking some heavy duty canvas? or a Sissel rope door?

I had a similar thought of doing placemats, depending on their preference/what available around them it could be wooden, thick fabric, or plastic and they might have cool designs since it’s tableware

And it shows a great respect for nature and the idea we need not force our design on it!

It's adorable the way her voice goes up an octave and she talks to the little lizard.

the lizard was so cute!

If that isn't just the most adorable thing ever.

Those are "noren", written 暖簾 or のれん.

Go Jays! Would be amazing if we could get him. Would be the first time since the 90s that we had such a highly touted player. It's unlikely to happen, but we can dream! :)

@@Leafsdude_ he actually comes from the same highschool as Yusei, idk how he would feel about having his former senpai in the same rotation lol

I love that the neighbor's wife instantly took the opportunity of Jun asking for help with their car to push more sweet potatoes on him 😂. Must've been a pretty good harvest! I had a neighbor who worked at a food bank here in the U.S. and sometimes gave me produce. Inspired by videos of Jun and Rachel talking about neighbors giving back, I baked a plum cobbler with the plums given to me by her and brough over about half of the dish. It tasted even better on day two when it got to sit in the juices overnight. I hope my neighbor liked it, I didn't see her too often.

I said Ken Watanabe, inspired by Chris Broad's (Abroad in Japan) high appreciation of him.

I said Yuzuru Hanyu 😅

I was thinking this as well! Maybe a thinner, inexpensive one from a 100 yen store, or similar. Heavy enough to hang well, but flexible to protect the cats, and with less texture that they'll want to scratch.

You have a good ear! You got 99% of that right! You were able to tell it was kiita聞いた, instead of kita来た/北/着た. I can't stress enough how difficult that is to differentiate for non-Japanese speakers. However, if you want to say "sorry", it's gomen-nasai with a G, not K. Understandable, as it was the consonant at the beginning of the phrase. K and G are such similar sounds too! Easy mistake. Wishing you well on your Japanese learning journey.🎉
