■”I love Japan!” Who is Angela from New Zealand?
When Angela visited Japan during a high-school exchange program, she “fell in love with Japan right away”,
While studying at the university in New Zealand, she went to study at a Japanese university for another year. After graduation she came to Japan again and she got a job at a Japanese company. In New Zealand, there were plenty of videos about crazy TV shows and maid cafés. So Angela decided to start a YouTube channel to show more “real” and local aspects of Japan, and launched her channel “Internationally ME”. Now she became a popular YouTuber with
190 thousand subscribers. (Reference: New Zealand Embassy Facebook)
■About her YouTube video content
We will tell you some things about her content. Interesting for people who do not have time to watch but can enjoy a quick overview of Japan.
・Angela meets a guide at namBa HIPS which is located near Dōtonbori.
・The guide tells about the foods and culture of Osaka. They arrive at Kushikatsu a restaurant known for deep-fried skewered meat and vegetables.
・Cheers at the table surrounded by pictures of sumo wrestlers! The guide explains about the rule of “No double dipping”. Then try kushikatsu meat, mochi (rice cake), and vegetables.
・Visit Hozenji Temple and walk to the” robatayaki” restaurant.
・Enjoy cold sake and dishes that are grilled in front of you! Be careful. Sake is easy to get drunk.
