If you wanna come to a place where you can learn 3 languages in a close area, come to Switzerland! Once you‘ve mastered one, you can move a different part of the country to learn another. You can learn German, French and Italian here! Switzerland is also neatly in the centre of Europe, and since its part of the Schengen area, you can basically go everywhere in Europe easily. You can even resettle in a different country in the Schengen area easily too!

It might seem weird, it's not just your home-stay mum that is this nice. When I was working as a volunteer after the flooding in Japan (about 2 years ago), cleaning houses en helping the rebuilding of the area we were in (Ehime), I had problems with my legs, from being stung by something and having popped blood vessels. This looked bad, even if it didn't stop me working. The moment I started wearing shorts (I don't usually do this, but it was bl**dy hot!), the local elderly ladies wouldn't let me work until they had given me some form of treatment and had given me a tube of cream to apply the next days. A few days earlier, a woman walked passed our local satellite camp (where everyone gathered to start work for the day) and saw we weren't wearing head gear....so she went off to the local shop and bought us hats with a neck protector. And so on, these are just the clearer examples, but we have had very nice experiences in Japan with just about everyone. Even if we also saw the bleak sides of society. Just make sure you don't abuse their willingness to help.

I'll never be able to visit Japan, but one "pro tip" I've learned is to avoid the $30+ fee to view Tokyo from the top of the Skytree. Go to the Metropolitan Government Building observatory instead -- It's free and 202 meters high. (The Skytree view is about 635 meters high, but I'm not sure that difference is worth $30 bucks to most people).

I visited both buildings and still would recommend Skytree Tower. The view is much more impressive than from the Metropolitan Government Building. I'd recommend visting both. Skytree to see how insanely huge the Tokyo area (including Yokohama, Kawasaki etc) is and the Metropolitan Government Building to get an amazing view over Shinjuku with all its fancy skyscrapers. If you've seen the view of Skytree even huge cities like London don't seem to be that big anymore. :-) Because there are now visible spaces between all the cities around Tokyo you see a sea of buildings where over 40 mio people live. It's really worth paying the high fee.

Funny, I found the Government Building view unimpressive. I didn't mind the $30+ fee for the experience of the Skytree elevator alone. The view (which happened to be the night of a super moon) was amazing. The new Shibuya Sky is also fabulous, and I love the fact that you can catch a sunset from up in the open air. The Mori Tower building has great views as well which are included with admission to the Mori Art Museum (always worthwhile). For 500 yen more you can go to the outdoor level one floor up which I love. Tokyo Tower is the one that's the cheesiest experience. The best part of it was the little history video of the man who commissioned the idea. Tokyo Tower viewed against the indigo skyline from elsewhere, however, is amazing. If you want to splurge the views from the Park Hyatt are lovely, too. I spent Christmas and New Year 2017 alone in Tokyo so I gifted myself with some unforgettable experiences to keep my spirits up. I saw an amazing sunset behind Mt. Fuji there while drinking champagne at the winter solstice.

If you have a month to travel: I recommend starting on Hokkaido and travel south during you trip. That's what I did 4 years ago, and starting in the areas that are not as touristy and where you are instantly dunked into the Japanese culture give a much nicer first impression of the country. If you start in Tokyo, that will remain your first impression....and it might not be bad, but it's not the rest of Japan :) Ow, and just pick something like 10 places you want to visit and get yourself a JR pass. Shinkansen are great for the larger portions of the travel and the local trains/subways will do the rest for you. Don't forget to try a local bus or tram, just because it's so different to where you are from (probably)

Also the food is great! Please please at least give it a chance and just visit it as a tourist (the best period is May, and a lot of people), it's starting only now to get recognized in Europe and in the last 2-3 year there was a boom in tourism.

I have always liked how Sharla gives some personal insight along with her Q&A segments. Having watched her vids now for many years and find it great to see things through her eyes. Some little changes I have noticed is how she stopped counting years in Japan right around 9 or 10. This was about the time she seemed to reach a level of comfort with the language too. Some of these questions have come up before here and on other J-vlog channels and I find it funny how so many have the same questions, especially about jobs, study, and simply getting to Japan. The more open declaration that she sees herself elsewhere in (around 5) years was rather new. Yes, she had hinted about in the past slightly, but this was the first time she mentioned it so boldly. Nice! Oh, and the first thing that came to mind, when the video started was, "Hey she's doing Micaela lips!" Dang that is some bold lipstick!

I'm glad you didn't discourage people from going to the "touristy" areas. Many of them have a very high energy spiritually or even commercially that is wonderful to experience. That's why a lot of people are attracted to them. Many people don't "spoil" a place, they add to its energy. I left Japan on the NEX in April 2020 and pulled into Tokyo Station to an empty platform--a very hollow and spooky experience. As for Sensoji in Asakusa, I would definitely recommend the temple because it's the oldest in Tokyo. It's also a highly important center insofar as Kannon/Goddess energy goes. Just don't shop on Nakamise (the avenue leading up to the temple from Kaminarimon Gate) as you are right about the quality of much of the merch there. Or approach it from the back of the temple as a local might. I always advise people to read up on the sites they might wish to see and go to ones they're intuitively most drawn to visit. That has never steered me wrong.

We hade this SFI (Swedish for Forigners) language school and takes care of the basic swedish learning and then there are beginner classes at Universitys (both on location and distance courses).

Sharmeleon, you should try watching movies with headphones - it's great! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, it's always so interesting hearing what you have to say. Take care, stay healthy and happy, and when you go out, don't forget your mask - y~!

I'd recommend Norway. Norwegian is easier to learn than many Nordic languages, but different enough from English to be interesting. They have this "comfy" lifestyle that's cute and cuddly. Also the weather there is relatively mild, especially if you can handle northern Japan. Oslo is the main hub but Bergen is more picturesque and has a lower cost of living! You should check it out. Also they love cats, so...

Just a piece of advice you can get soundproofing foam they use in soundproof rooms at a music store pretty cheap. I hung these up all over my room in a house I share with 2 roommates and now they cannot hear me screaming in my room nor can I hear anything outside my room.

Good questions in this video. I'm also planning to return to Japan in the future after things have settled down, and as my previous trip was in the south I want to include the north next time. I'd recommend Germany as another country to live and learn a new language. I've gone there a few times and have friends living there, and there's a lot of variety in the landscape (it's not all like Bavaria). Glad to see you're doing well.

Hungary and Sweden are both beautiful countries! I don't know but I had the impression that the two countries aren't really vegan-friendly. Especially in Hungary, I have been there and I have a close friend from there too and it was difficult to find vegan restaurants. But I'd say that life in Sweden is very quiet and there are a bit more vegetarian/vegan options. Hope this helps :)

I enjoyed this video Sharla (albeit late for me to comment), but I've only just started watching your videos over the past 8 months or so. I'm also from Canada (living in Alaska at the moment) and I love the orient (although I haven't been to China or Japan, etc. yet). Rather sad to hear that you don't see yourself there as a permanent resident since you've been there so long. Wherever you end up, I hope you'll be happy and still make videos. 🙋♀️

If I were to live in a European country, Italy would be the dream. Such a beautiful country! I loved it. And the people - especially in southern Italy - felt really warm and friendly too. Unfortunately I know Italy has high unemployment even before covid19 so I think it's probably hard to get a job there without fluent Italian

If you love nature and want to move somewhere in the future, than Norway is a great choice. It’s so green, fresh clean air, fjords, mountains, woods, northern lights and a lot of other great things:) also high salaries and safe...
