ebi 🍤 えび | aussie in japan

realistic how much i spend in a weekend as a frugal salarywoman :) i genuinely think i feel less burnt out since this day ahhah thank u @SAM TODD !! @billsjapan @Photoism Japan @KATSEYE @THE MATCHA TOKYO let’s collab these are all my favs #japanlife #whatispendinaday #tokyojapan #katseye #PersonalFinance

i feel like we don’t appreciate the small wins enough. we “adapt” so much, sometimes losing a part of ourselves, and i like to acknowledge and celebrate a small win when i can 🥹 #lifeinjapan

@KATSEYE TOKYO POP UP! when will they do a proper tour here plsss i need to see them…. 🥹💙🐾 thx for coming w me @SAM TODD !! @ユニバーサルミュージック @ユニバーサルミュージック洋楽 #katseye #wild

ft. pictures from my day trip to uji, kyoto :) 1) vocab: wanikani fastest way to learn new vocab + kanji (i bought lifetime) free alternative = anki but it doesn’t hit the same for me 2) grammar: bunpo @Bunpo | Learn Japanese flashcards for grammar + bunch of other stuff. i like the AI conversation, correcting and translation the most 3) speaking: preply @Preply less trial and error in finding good teachers vs italki which i used to use! also cheaper / the most consistent app im using out of all of these lol 🔗50% OFF affiliate link in my bio 4) pronunciation: ganbatte shadowing i dont use it enough but its good for perfecting your accent honorable mention: jaccent, prosody tutor (website) 5) listening: podcasts (spotify/youtube) beginner to advanced reccommendations- nihongo kon teppei haru no nihongo @Haru no Nihongo goldn rush @GOLDNRUSH🎧 yuyu の日本語 @YUYU 6) reading: yomuyomu @Yomu Yomu exactly what i need!! with furigana and english translation to help 😅 todaii @Todaii: Learn German A1-C1 is good too if you like reading the news but i don’t lol 7) JLPT prep: nihongonomori @日本語の森 nihongonomori helped so much with N2! works best with the textbook they sell. super worth!! (also my youtube video on passing N2 tips is in bio + mentions this book) if this thread was useful follow me @ebifried :) i’ll be posting more of my japanese language journey :) #nihongo #LanguageLearning #japanese #learnjapanese #日本語

it’s like when someone shares their surgeries and people get mad?? u mean it prefer to be lied to??? WHAT? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 releasing old draft so u wouldn’t be able to guess hahah

why i haven’t vlogged much lately :( real “overworked salarymen” are not frequently vlogging for the world and their boss to see… this is the reality nobody talks about- getting sick >_< i didn’t even think i was stressed but clearly my lifestyle wasn’t working for my body, so now im being way more mindful of everything! take care and don’t take your health (and ability to eat) for granted 🥹 #tokyojapan #IBS #wellness #salaryman #asmrvlog

can u tell im feeling the shame just for existing as a foreigner in japan rn 😂 there’s so many small things im “doing wrong” on the daily and it can get exhausting #japanlife #cultureshocks #LifeAdvice #livinginjapan #tokyolife

this was taken on holiday… BUT i think enjoying the day to day life is so much more important. ofc i love a holiday but it’s not what keeps me going. even counting down to the weekend gets dangerous- then we spend most of our lives WAITING FOR IT TO BE OVER 🥹😭

going to shanghai’s iconic people’s park marriage market to potentially find a husband… men are getting auctioned off by parents, agents and it gets competitive! just posted my full 48 HRS IN CHINA vlog on youtube!!! link in bio :3 #shanghai #datingshow #arrangemarriage #chinalife #cultureshocks

Replying to @Ryann | Mental Health & Study here’s some advice that i don’t hear very often bc i feel i watched a lot of social media growth vids especially back when i was just starting!! the fact it’s even possible in Japan (where social media marketing is still super young and budgets are way smaller compared to america) means it’s possible everywhere #contentcreation #sns #strategy #japanlife #socialmediatips

go watch spiderman or get therapy (my 2 current favs)

HONEST OPINION: after trying park hopper tickets for the first time i don’t think i will do it again LMAO it’s more for people who only have 1 day to spare in tokyo then definitely it’s worth it! but now if anyone asks to choose i can say why not both? 😗 unfortunately no discount for disney but i always book on @Klook USA anyways bc it’s the most convenient!! save 💸 with code EBIKLOOK for any other activities, hotels and transport klook as well! (i’d save it for your most expensive booking 🤭) #gifted #PR #disney #tokyodisney #tokyodisneysea

i personally like authentic yet “non intentionally rage baiting” content but is that what everyone else is watching?? my FYP is rarely japan content now but if something goes viral i’ll probably see it and it’s never something that inspires me 🥲

literal definition of “job market so rough i had to pursue my dreams” 😭😭 ofc i didn’t tell anyone that was my plan at the time but i can say it now hehe none of it was accidental 🤣🙈😌

the salarymen you see online are not overworked. the salarymen that are overworked, you won’t see online. simple is that! especially not: talking poorly about coworkers, bosses, waking up late and vlogging it… lets have some discernment guys 🫶🏻 #salaryman #lifeinjapan #japanlife #tokyolife #officelady

there’s gonna be spoilers all over the internet before the movie is even out in japan lol (and the worldwide box office count too like chillll it’s not even out in japan yet??) #movie #film #ilmfans #letterboxd #marvel

where to travel next??? ✈️ inspo: @ciara gan 😵‍💫 #expectations #oliviarodrigo #affirmations

moving to japan as a foreigner is like having ASIAN PARENTS… 🫪 not hate (or even advice) to this specific creator but his vid made me realise i was primed to move to japan bc everything they wanted from me is the same thing an average asian parent would expect 😭 but i think people moving abroad with big dreams is so awesome and i hope it works out for you! stitch: @ig: ote.jpeg #lifeinjapan #japanlife #movingtojapan #grwm #japan

not the random life lesson from finding a piece of wire metal in my food 😓 but yeah better safe than sorry :|

ludwig makes 800k in a month, we can do better than this 😭 in an ideal world, viewers wouldn’t be so against properly disclosed ads, creators wouldn’t lie about their work and charge what they’re worth~ last time a japan creator was complaining about being broke and i offered to help they deleted my comments so i truly don’t expect anyone to take me up on my offer but im serious- I WISH someone taught me what i know now after 4 years starting from scratch + would love to bring more awareness to “creator economy in japan” things in an educational way if people are interested so ask away 🥹 #japanlife #contentcreation #influencers #branddeals #creatoreconomy
