I'm in Japan! Sorry About Last Week.

I'm sorry I didn't make a blog post last week. Kaz brought back a cold from Spain and shared it with me.

During the time I'm in Japan, I will probably put more effort into vlogs than blogs, but I will probably still make a few posts. I have two planned that I will post today and/or tomorrow.

What I Learned from Living with My Japanese Boyfriend for a Month

Image
Hey there. As y'all know, Kazzy got an internship with the Japanese branch of an American company, and he's been in Tokyo for the past couple of months. This was a good opportunity for me to meet his parents, and I had always wanted to return to Japan, so he made that wish come true for his first month there. Not only did he give me a significant amount of spending money for the trip, but as it turns out, I was able to stay in his apartment for no additional charge (also, shoutout to Auntie for letting me use her airline miles! All I had to pay was $50 in taxes!) Yesterday, I read a comment on Find Your Love in Japan's recent video What It's Like Dating Japanese Men for Foreign Women. HEY THERE. The sentence "[When] you live together with someone you start understanding his bad sides" made me wonder what I'd learned in my time together with Kaz. I'd had a great time with him during that month, but left feeling like I hadn't had enoug...

Find Your Love in Japan, Kaz's Parents, and Our YouTube Channel

Nobita featured me in another of his Find Your Love in Japan videos, this time on whether Asian parents disapproved of their child's interracial relationship. Thank you again, Nobita! As I mentioned in the video, Kazzy's parents seem pretty chill about our relationship. I feel really fortunate on that front. I had heard of many heterosexual couples where the (Asian) guy tries to hide the fact that he's dating someone outside of his culture, especially if she is black. I was fully prepared for him to conceal our relationship from his parents. However, he made no special effort to hide me over what he would have done for any other girl. He just doesn't talk about it with his parents, which I understand, because neither do I. Kaz's mom found out when Kaz shared pictures of us from Thanksgiving and getting a Christmas tree on Facebook. [ S   U   S   P   I   C   I   O   U   S ] She liked the photos and sent him a, "So I see you got...

I Met Kazzy's Parents! [Important Note at Beginning]

Image
Note: I think now is the time to say that Kaz's mother is Chinese, meaning he is technically hafu (Japanese term for someone who is half-Japanese.) H e was never bullied or treated differently because of it, as it is hard to tell he is hafu . He was raised solely by his Japanese father and grandmother. We know roughly the same amount of Mandarin (like 5 words on a good day.) Therefore, I always think of him as just Japanese. I am deeply sorry if anyone felt misled. However, these are important personal details of Kaz's life, and I do not feel like I have the right to freely make reference to them. I plan to continue to refer to him as Japanese. Yes, I could have written this blog without mentioning those facts. However, meeting Kaz's parents in two different cities and certain other details would have made little sense without informing you guys. Enjoy! *I've shared a few photos of the trip to Japan on my Instagram , and made three new vlogs on our YouTube chann...
