Sharla, if you guys ever need to start a GoFundMe campaign for your Hinoki bath project I already have sample template set up for you guys. I just need an email to send it to because it's too long to send it on Twitter or instagram. 😁👍

I noticed in the Sakura Co segment that it lists an item as "may contain traces" and it says buckwheat. I'm highly allergic to buckwheat so I'm curious how often that comes up as a possible cross contamination even if the item doesn't specifically have buckwheat?
@@Terahneehi! I looked through the snack booklet and it looks like it’s only that one snack this month that has possible traces of buckwheat🫶🏻
Just a comment on Ushka and how AWESOME she is. Over a year ago, Ushka really helped me out when I was in a bind - my cat was coming in from overseas and there were complications, so my poor cat was stuck in Germany for three days, and me... stuck in Tokyo an extra three days I hadn't planned for. Ushka allowed me to stay at her air bnb in what was a very low point for me, and it's honestly one of the biggest acts of kindness I will never forget. Much to love to Ushka, and of course to you Sharla! You both always brighten my day!
She’s the best! I’m glad she was able to help you out ❤️❤️🐈
I'm so grateful I was in a position to help you, thank you for regularly sharing your cat photos with me 😍
@@ushkace And the same to you - Pippin and Pixel are always such MODELS
My esteem for Ushka, already sky high, just jumped into the stratosphere. She has a black cat! 🐈⬛
Okay but the one worker being like "Oh no it's not just bad, it's VERY BAD" made me laugh 😂
Hahahaha we love him🤣🤣
@@sharlainjapan Thank goodness you didn't have to have the whole place condemned! That damage was painful to watch, and all those termite and water-damaged areas made me shudder.
@@sharlainjapan That made me LOL xD
I'm trying to listen to what he said so I can understand "in-practice" use of japanese, but I can't for the life of me hear the that he is saying.. he's like やばい。やばい。やばい どこ(?)じゃなくて。すごい。すごい？？？？ and then it all turns fuzzy o((>ω< ))o
learning japanese is difficult! I gotta practice my listening skills, learn more vocab, and study up on more readings of wild kanji >.
Look how far your life has come in 4 years Sharla. A stationary company, 2 properties, and you found love. Congratulations. All the best to you.
Man that older worker cracks me up every time. He is so sassy.
But considering you keep hiring him he must be also really good so all is well. :D
He’s so good, the sass is a bonus🤣🤣
I love that Ushka is always smiling, just a positive person in general. Very sympathetic!
Thank you, wasn't feeling very smiley after learning about the termites though 😂😳
I love the vibe between you and Ushka! So much fun!
🥰🥰🥰
Your builders are very straightforward and to the point. You are very lucky. Ask Chris what it's like dealing with many UK builders......
Any day there's a new sharla vid is a great day in my book
Thanks so much for watching🥰🫶🏻
Literally! Always makes my day 🥰
Agree so much!! ❤
I'm sorry to hear about the termites, glad to hear they haven't ruined the structural stability! I hope your day today is better, a video from you always makes mine better so I hope I can share that with you
Thats why I do not like wood as building material, it is too fragile and short lived! On the other hand in an earthquake prone country like japan probably wood is the best option!
@@werpu12 The centuries-old buildings in Europe and Japan would say different.
Thanks for formally introducing Ushka!
I absolutely love this vlog style. I love the 'day in the life' type. They are really chill and you take the time to notice and point out little things that bring you joy. This in turn helps me notice and be grateful for the little things as well. Happy spring/early summer!
You two handle setbacks SO WELL and I’m always really impressed with your “get shit done” attitudes and approaches. You’ll get there. I believe!
The blossom you saw is a Japanese Ornamental Quince. Quince are closer to apples and pears and no plums at all. The ornamental ones don’t produce fruit though.
Oh no way! Looks so much like a plum🤩 Yay new blossoms to find, thanks for sharing❤❤
Just coming here to say the same. Gorgeous specimen!
You beat me to it - yes, that's a beautiful quince. A pity it's ornamental, the Neko Neko Inn could do a roaring trade in quince jelly! 😊
@@SeenThisDoneThatThat sounds great! I really love quinces. They’re really good!
Btw, I see you, Diamond Eyes…😏
I’ll room with Ushka any day!! LOL She’s amazing!!!
Ushka seems like such a nice person! We need more people like her in the world!
The under-floor heated kotatsu sounds like a dream!!!
We can’t wait for it to be finished!!! 😍😍😍
I love your and Ushka's friendship you both seem like you have so much fun together 😭
The Sharla and Ushka vlogs are the perfect friend to keep you company during late study sessions
good luck with your studies 😀
Sharla how is your hair always perfect??? what is your haircare routine?? literally every video it looks amazing
I’ve gotten a few comments on it now so I’ll try to remember to show the products I use in my next vlog!!! 🙏🙏
I recently realized that I've been subscribed to you (across your channels) for over a decade now which is crazy to think about. I'm now finishing up a 7 month stay in Japan, heading back home to Germany in 2 weeks and just wanted to say thank you for your videos over the years that let me experience Japan even before moving here myself.
The (re-)introduction of Usher reminded me to comment this as I remember the Vlog where you stayed at her first AirBnB very well!
Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see the finished house!
Been watching your videos for almost a decade now and it’s such a good feeling to still keep up with your projects and stuff. Love your energy, Sharla! ❤wishing you the best, always
do you remember watching her very first Vlog and now look at her now and everything she's accomplished. She certainly come a long way! ☺️
Wow thank you!! Wild that you’ve been watching that long🥹🫶🏻
@@sharlainjapan well, I've been watching you since your trip to Bonita Bonito with your sister . I think that was my very first vlog i saw, but I have explored watching your older vlogs. 😄
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought Oh No there's something wrong with Sharla's health or the renovation. Glad you're OK and looking forward to seeing the completed renovation.
Even if today sucks just remember tomorrow is another chance to make it great ❤️
All good we’re enjoying the ride🤪😂
everyone needs a friend like Ushka!
I'm so mad at myself that I missed the opportunity to ask Ushka a question! It would be great to hear where does she take her positivity from, she's so bubbly and cheerful 😊❤
Omg I went to Loft when I was in Japan earlier this year and I was SO OVERWHELMED cause it was amazing, I wanted all of it 😍😂
Ushka and her cats are all so cute and sweet, I really love the vibes!
I must admit, Ushka's accent had always eluded me, but Kiwi via British makes total sense! She's been a lovely presence on your channel, always enjoy seeing your adventures.
Lovely to hear more about Ushka! I love seeing her smiley face in your videos.
I love how such a chill kiwi Ushka is! Id say her (and your) attitude to projects is the very Aussie "she'll be right mate". Doesn't matter how bad it seems she'll be right in the end lol. Can't wait to the see the house finished :)
We always figure it out in the end! 😂🤞🏻❤️
Wow your friendship with Ushka is amazing ❤ you guys rock! 😎
Sorry to see that your day on this video turned really shitty, Hope you and Ushka have better days in the future! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
the 80s music really shows chris' impact 😆 and i'm thrilled to hear that 222 means nyan nyan nyan. i keep seeing 222 everywhere and surely this is what the universe wants to tell me
I remember seeing thar vlogmas all those years ago and you both clicked immediately 💕 its so comforting to see that friendships can form in the most random situations 😊
Cant wait to see the finish house and fingers cross for the hinoki bath, much love to both
We like ushka,
She need no introduction.
Always a good time when she around.
I didn't realize I needed a Ushka Q&A! to me it felt like she appeared out of nowhere so definitely nice to know more about her :D
Ugh those dang termites 😭😩😢 the demo is so exciting!!!!!! I can’t wait to see how it looks
The worstttt😭😭 Sucks you don’t know if you have them until you rip the place apart😅
@@sharlainjapan omg exactly 😭😭😭 we had to replace so much more than I thought. I hope y’all still get the bath tho!! That’s would be so amazing 😍
Thank you for being an example of positive and creative enterprise and everyday adventure!
I know in the states if people sell you a house and the seller knows they have termites but didn't list them, you can be subjected to getting pay back for it.
I'm such an Ushka fan, loved finally have a Q&A!
Something about GoodTimesWithScar's ultrafast-buildmode music going during the demo is rather funny.
I laughed so hard when @sharlainjapan pointed at where the termite were and the camera got blurry for a moment. It was like entering Sharla vision. haha. Home looks great! Love the choices for the bathroom.
I thought that vlog you met ushka in, you guys were already friends! I thought you stayed there cause you knew her already 😅 shows how well you guys work out together!!
Finally an update on the billion dollar house
So sorry to hear about the termites, but I am glad that it is fixable! May the rest of your days be much better♡ I love follwing the house renovation by the way!😊
Not going to lie, I started watching Abroad in Japan long before starting to watch Sharla's channel. It has only been a few months for me. And I had no clue who Ushka was. I figured it was because I was new. But turns out I'm not alone. So I feel better 😆
I watched this already with my daughter, I know it's not what you gals hoped for but the structure is okay and it can be saved if it's as popular as your first inn, then you'll do great in the long run. It's the unfortunate side of reno is sometimes you don't know what you might find. Thankfully you've found it and it will be safe and restored. you have a great team and friendship/ partnership You have got this Cheering you both on it's going to be beautiful. I pray your day and perspective have improved. Sending love and well wishes.
Ahhh I’ve been waiting for the Reno vlogs 🥰🥰 so excited!!
I saved this video for morning so I can watch it before going to work. Honestly I don't know how many years I've watched your videos but I'm always waiting your videos to pop up. 😊 Thank you for making these videos! ❤
I always love Ushka when I started watching your vlog. She has a positive vibes and love cats!!! I really wish want to meet you guys when I go to Japan! ♥
I was so surprised by Pippin and Pixel's full names
You and me both! 😂😂❤️
i remember doing a very amateur video of pippins inn in the summer of 2019 and then seeing yours and realized how amateur i was
I loved your video! Can't wait to see you again in May!
Yes! Another Ushka and Shar episode. Love your energies! Hope the house renovation is full of good surprises moving forward.
That orange bloomed plant is Chaenomeles in autumn it has like small apple like fruits that taste like lemon. These plants are related to the quince but smaller and bit more softer.
I have always love when she joins you in your videos. her energy is so amazing.
I just love how you both cheer each other up and can move on! I wish i had those traits. Can't wait to see the house!
Love watching the two of you together!!! Wishing you luck on the remodel.
Great Q&A with Ushka! Thanks for sharing.
Love the chris opening influence with the 80s pop 🤣💖
Living where I do termites are a constant issue so I feel your pain. Here is hoping they have found the whole nest and removed all if the little buggars. Oh the joys of renovation especially in an older property, always I find they are such a generous thing to restore, always prepared to give you an unexpected gift😂😂loving the vibe between you two, it is fun to watch.
My favorite vlog. Love the style and the pace.
You guys are a great team! I love your friendship and understanding of each other. I can't wait to see more progress on this AirBnB house project.
This is so exciting! 🎉 can’t wait to see the end result….and Chris’ commentary 😆
I hear your pain - discovered termites in our house not long after buying it. Lost a box of my fav paperbacks to the little buggers, but managed to minimize the damage! At least you found it now, before it took the house out! Now off to shop at your website! :D
I believe that the bathroom will look impressive with the way they make it slightly more spacious. can't wait to see it!
Thanks for this episode, super cool as always.
14:53 OMG, my cat was also called Pixel (unfortunately he's not with us any more).
I love watching your channel. It's always exciting to see what you and Ushka are doing. Have a wonderful day!
Some days are just meant to end 😂 hope times look brighter soon and you'll get some rest! ❤
Love the house series vids with Ushka! Yall are so fun together and love love the cat themed everything! ❤
I love your friendship and all the projects you builded together 🤗❤️
I thought Ushka acent sounded familiar but couldn't pick up why, nice to hear from a fellow kiwi
Aww your friendship warms my heart❤
Love all your remodeling footage! You guys always have such a fun vision. Good luck in the rest of your remodel. I hope there are no more surprises.
Loved the Ushka Q&A! Glad we got to know a little more info about her :)
Yey! New vlog! Love your videos Sharla 😊
Cant wait to see the new house! Hope all goes well. Thank you for the videos they help relax me ❤❤
Oh noooo!!! Hopefully it's not terribly expensive 😭😭 Good luck!
Gambarimasuuuuu😂😂😂
Oh God... Loft is heaven for stationary lovers. 🥰
My long-haired orange floof is named Odin Dumblederp Kakarot Hadouken. We call him Odie.
Love this! It's so respectful to give cats middle names and surnames
So jealous of all the cool stationary + stores. We used to host Japanese students years ago. Loved all the cool products they shared. Enjoy you both!
I always get so jealous seeing all the brilliant food and stationary that Japan has!!
Ushka YAY!! Love hearing both of your journeys!!❤️❤️
Thanks for the re-cap on how you met - and became such an awesome team.
I got a Sakuraco box subscription because of watching you open yours in the past. I have loved my first two weeks. I can't wait for the Sakura themed box!
Does make me wonder somewhat what they'll do to keep the *rain* out of that space if they push the windows in. (Also the source of the damp/wet inside there, is the tub going to have shower? Did people dry dripping clothes there? Just airborne moisture? I assume they know what they're about, but I feel like maybe putting flashing under the tiles there and ventilating better might be a better solution. Maybe putting a bit of slope in the bottom so water can't collect there, and a glass shelf or two to decorate or get a little utility out of.
(That alley wall always did seem like it might be a moisture issue to me. )
I’ve been waiting so long for this!!! 💖 Time to get some tea and snacks ready! ✨
the yellow flower on the card is Forsythie. Regards and keep up
Love these renovation videos 👍
love these renovation videos!
Termites are a nightmare to get rid of in Australia. If you find them in your home, you have to get a company in to find out the extent of the damage, then you have to stop construction or renovation, treat it, call the people back in to see if it worked, do the preventative annual spraying and then get back to renovation/construction. That, all together, could take a month.
So excited, can't wait to see what the house looks like next.
Fun video, thanks for introducing Ushka to us. Love all the stories and things in Japan they are so Lovely ❤
It was so nice to finally learn more about Ushka!!! I think you guys make a great team! So I was just in Japan for a vacation (first time going) a few weeks ago Feb 2-17 and dang I just missed the Family Mart Collab. I also went to LOFT and it was so cool to see you guys go there because I was like "I WAS THERE JUST A WEEK AGO" and that felt really cool. Best of luck on the house! I hope I get to stay in it next time I book a trip to Japan.
I have had doubts about the hinoki baths; there seems to be a bit of space around them that would cause water to remain trapped and cause mold. Please ask about it. It might be better to make it all ceramic or a shower, otherwise you need enough space around it for air circulation and your arm to clean that area. This is sometimes a problem when people put standing baths in overly tight spaces for looks, and then they are stuck with this problem.
Ushka is the friend and workmate ive always wanted!!
i love the fact when it got stressful you ladies went out for sushi! nice!
Just ordered a sakuraco box, thank you for the code ☺️
Hope all gets sorted with your house so you can make all pretty ❤️
Enjoy all the sakura goodies!! 🤩🌸🫶🏻
So impressed with how fast the builders worked. Bummer about the termites. Pixel is exactly like our Pepsi, black cats have the best personality in my biased opinion
That is such a cute cat name🥹🐈
Can't wait for the final house reveal! So exciting.
another Sharla/Ushka vlog!! 😁
Love the vlogs with ushka! The stationery is so cute ❤😅
I've been watching your videos for years, and this might be my first comment. Just wanted to say I always look forward to your videos, they are light and joyful and really well made. Please update more often haha ! All the best Sharla and hope to see you one day in Japan (I come for work twice a year maybe ill try to stay at the inn next time !)
