Danielle is BACK from Japan, and FINALLY has something to talk about!! After a week of getting out ALL the shoppies, she returns with new bits, a few new phrases, annnnd even a little Japanese under her belt thanks to Ryan’s flash cards!! Now, look, it’s VERY clear that Brooke and Danielle have VERY different Japan experiences. While Brooke’s trip is full of shrines and lines FOR THE LINE…Danielle, well, let’s just say much MUCH shorter lines, but also a few BIG X’s (iykyk)!! While she’s back ON PROPERTY (new bit alert) in NYC, she now understands the Japan hype and why EVERYONE puts it on their 2026 bingo card. Sooooo, get ready for THE Japan recap part two...this time, Danielle’s version!!
