Opening packages and Christmas gifts from my mom!

hey guys hey guys uh we have a bunch of packages to open today one of them is from my mom because since most of you know we had to leave America early so I didn't get to spend time with my family this Christmas so my mom mailed us our gifts so we that's open and then we have a bunch of packages for people we're gonna open which should be really exciting oh you from the Cowboys uh we're doing things a little bit differently today with opening our packages we have everything out because I got ribbon like all of the addresses and stuff on the boxes usually when I edit these I noticed like places where we accidentally had the addresses in view of the camera and then I just spent like two hours blurring it out and it takes forever so this time we just got rid of the original boxes and made sure there are no addresses so I don't have to spend a million years doing that sort of thing all right then why don't we start with the letters first please all right super cute this is from Kelly Kelly Ponder's thank you this is the second year of living in the globe oh that's great I'm really glad you like it here and I'm super glad our videos could help a little bit even though we're moving I'm really impressed by your handwriting skills your Japanese handwriting skills better than mine it's an origami swan going up this is open me hug me I think there's I think there's something else in there are you wanna see in a smaller okay wait does it open or is this mouth closed open oh nice a letter M okay the first sentence hello Rachel in turn I wrote this letter because I was bored bored that's amazing oh this is the person from Germany who said gummy bears does oh thank you and I will send you some German Christmas thanks and sweets to Christmas please mail me when you read it yeah just oh my god no this came in October what the heck we just got this I'm sorry well it's Christmas but thank you so much for the thought it's actually okay because we're trying to scale down since we're moving anyway a Christmas card Merry Christmas from Susan at Angel writers angel writer creations calm thank you so much for the Christmas card breathe makes me want to call her now sure Oh it'll be all of your weight our tattoos oh we be in trouble all of our other tattoos are easily covers okay okay this is the first page okay that's why so Jenny and Paul want our input on a few things input yes hope to go to Japan they have a couple of things they're concerned about Paul is six foot six mm-hmm six which is five inches taller than you anyway he's way taller than here and has a size 13 American shoe probably American 13 tells me yeah that size 13 American shield yes how difficult would it be for slippers his size to be available here I had hard time finding my slippers even in America I don't know you just you just have to find one it's really difficult to find your size to here in any capacity I think June usually buys shoes what we go back to America but a lot of some I couldn't even up for slippers June has a hard time finding slippers yes um was asking shoes or slippers yeah this one my mom found it for me a little while ago so it is possible but good luck it takes time maybe it's not as hard if you're in big city like Tokyo or something maybe um st. store is literally cold okie sighs mm mm sizes I've been there but I'm sure that one of these two all right question for Eugene right our slippers required and every sort of establishment such as gas stations malls and grocery stores what our slippers required when you go inside basically any kind of place like a gas station or a mall or grocery store supermarket do you do you have to wear slippers I understood what you're what you said I couldn't understand what you meant like we don't even take our shoes off a gas station a supermarket what do you mean by slippers okay I only think of the issues when you go inside the house a big income if you go somewhere where it's required for you to take off your shoes they will have slippers available for you if not it's totally fine for you to just wear socks most of the time usually out in public the only kinds of places that would how you take off your shoes are some traditional style Japanese restaurants and in that sort of case it's totally okay to just wear your socks if you don't have if they don't have like slippers for you or slippers your science right you mean a Japanese restaurant efavirenz yes yeah well you can't wear those slippers on to the tatami mats anyway if you go over someone else's house they'll probably have slippers for you but it's totally fine to just wear your socks some dentists require you to take off your shoes oh but you can easily tell because they have it of the entrance yeah it doesn't have slippers there although you can't find your slippers the size would it be okay for engineering socks and a dentist like that I'm sure it's okay okay so don't worry about it you don't have to bring us the first year if you want you could carry them around when you're probably not going to encounter very many places where you would need to take our issues anyway oh I see stations moles never some temples if you if you're doing like a touristy visit and you're visiting a lot of temples some temples if you like pay to walk through it you have to take our fear shoes at the door but you wouldn't wear slippers there anyway you would just go in their socks because there's a lot of tatami looms you'd probably be walking through so I wouldn't worry about it just bring socks jenny is worried about their tattoos they've done a bunch of tattoos that's what the pictures for I think they're wearing long sleeves okay they said would we be in trouble oh yes oh oh yes you will big trouble no it's totally fine tons and tons and tons of foreigners what tattoos come here all the time more and more Japanese people are getting tattoos still I would say there's still like some people may be a little uncomfortable but I doubt you're gonna have any issues the only places that you're not allowed to go with tattoos sometimes would be onsen or public pools or gyms a lot of them have like no tattoo sign but if you can cover them up then use a lot of them will still let you in you think about yeah it depends on the bathroom someone that will ask you to cover-up touches something no in general some you can just kind of like try to hide your tattoos and get in anyway that's a lot of people do that what about favorite one super public I don't know what the rules are at super public baths it's the name of a homes in here there's some reason a lot of my Japanese public bath stores have the adjective before their name super hyper hyper super super public baths super I understand but then when you put it in something like public baths because like it's an extremely public bath glass walls baths like there's no fussing um she's learning kanji hmm herself just stroke order matter overall I think what I learned the purpose of stroke order is is it just makes it easier to write the character correctly I would attempt to learn the stroke order that's what I've always learned most kanji books will show you the stroke order I think it when I was in like school the Japanese language test I have to pick the order I have to assay which like you know if this stroke is a number three and almost thirty whatever like three or fourth or fifth or whatever but it really doesn't matter really yeah what I heard is just it's it's just to make sure you can like draw the kanji correctly it's when is facilitate that if you're going to go to school in Japan Japanese language school it's whether you gain other points on up that's been really hit really but if anyone else has any thoughts on that you can leave it down within the conference I'm not an expert on that or anything I'm deaf news I'm living here really doesn't matter to me Leslie is the chocolate bar Oh shove anyone cool mm-hmm

there and next time so I was gonna pick this up when we visited but then we never got there so mom nailed it us this I also asked for these specifically because I didn't have we didn't have enough time to go out and bring a bunch of snacks back to Japan right now I'm huge into munchies the flamin hot lunches so I asked mom to send us some bags of these I brought back I think maybe like four bags of four or five bags of hot snacks from America and then I ate old within a week normally we would school actually we be heading back from America no but I would have been eating like a bag of hot snacks this time so mommy's that needs an extra one and then my grandpa made cookies he always makes chocolate chip cookies they're Christmas so yeah some homemade cookies even though we're in

guys something but the other day I put my only pair of sunglasses on and it snapped in half like literally literally in half and I have all the pieces but they don't fit together which makes sense as to why it snapped because there must have been a lot of strange pressure I cannot get them to fit with the other lens so I asked my mom to send me some cheap sunglasses because she always she can get them like super super tube into the flea market so my mom always sends me or gives me a couple pairs of sunglasses because I'm blind with the sunlight outside so I asked her to send me some more sunglasses so thanks mom [Applause] [Music] I didn't see the other one but yeah that one looks like works better this is crazy darker right yeah this is great really really I have a really she's gonna

one of them and it's like small enough but it's easy its bendable you can like clip it to something but the saying is I'm gonna leave in using one I can only have it on like one side of my face and then I have awkward shadows on the other side so I waited um I've been waiting six months I guess to get another one finally I have it so now I can even lighting when I stream not that it matters I'm so excited okay this is great this is a super fantastic person I'm really excited I'm gonna eat these right away I'm definitely gonna be using my socks and slippers right away sorry this is a lot of stuff from YouTube no it's okay you can have some of my spicy snacks but only a little bit but why I offer no I'm just kidding yes thank you to everyone else thank you these come from their plant
