Kinda jealous of your students for having such wise and thoughtful teacher. Thanks to your videos I've begin to think about my space and try to incorporate some minimalist ideas to declutter my living space - especially since I'll have to move in near future.

Wow bambo bike. Never heard that. It's the best combination of my favorite things. Japan is like a dream life for me.

7 things in my room that make me happy:
1. My plants (right now I have 14)
2. A photograph of my stepfather who passed away when I was young
3. Many blankets that I have in my bead that are so warm and soft
4. Two carpets that I got from my aunt, they're both second hand and look so pretty
5. Art pieces my great grandpa made
6. My window from where I can see the moon during the night and that open in a funny way
7. Candles

Hi Aki! During the pandemic, I grew CABBAGES in my room including one on my desk! I think the japanese name is "hakutsai". There is a very easy style of hydroponic gardening called "Kratky". No electricity needed, no messy soil, no need to water, and you can plant things in old plastic, or glass containers. There are many videos online on how to do it, and the wikipedia article for "Kratky Method" is a good start. The easiest thing to grow is lettuce! Not only can you watch them grow, but you can pick the leaves and eat them as the plant grows bigger! I turned my cabbages in to delicious kimchi. So much fun!

Hello Aki! Greetings from the UK and Poland. You are the first YouTube account I actually adore. Thank you for brining your genuiness here.

[betealvarez]

I love my room! I also have plants, essential oil’s, candles and a water fountain. It’s my favorite place in my house ❤️

I will make a small dish from the white pine that my brother, who has passed away, planted over 30 years ago. It will have the scent of pine at first, and then is a soft wood, so I think it might be good for essential oils. Thank you, as always, for a thoughtful video 🫶

[AdwaithJayakrishnan]

I recently came across your content and have been addicted to it ever since! it makes me feel so relaxed and really makes my day better!

[riclou]

I don't have a bamboo bicycle (yet, maybe in the future), but my bicycle is also the most indispensable thing in my room! And it makes me really happy! ; )
Keep it up! Best wishes all the way from Montpellier (France).

Hi, I am a retired secondary school teacher..I admire your vlog..very helpful for us.

[daneva]

Hello Aki, I newly found your account and I am so in love with your values. It doesn’t happen often that I meet people who share similar values as me and for that I am thankful that social media exists . Otherwise it sometimes can get lonely . Thank you for sharing a bit of your life. Thank you for putting yourself out there (that’s something I feel uncomfortable with). But your vulnerability is beautiful and inspiring !!! Sending much love from Germany, Dana .
