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

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

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

Blasiandate

Hi guys! I just want to take a minute to share this website with you: Ta-daaaa~ Blasiandate is exactly what it sounds like: A dating site catering to helping black and Asian people meet! Anyone is able to join, of course, but the only options for ethnicity are Black, Asian, or Other. Before the change from ambwdate to Blasiandate, the site had a few more options for religion and relationship status, but the site still hits on the most important points. Making an account was easy and hit on the important questions, like what you like in others, and your ideal first date, first. This will be the information that shows up on your profile. The only information. One thing: I'm not fond of not being able to write my own comments in my profile, but this may be a good way to encourage discussion! I do find it cool that the site has a match percentage for each member based on what options you selected for your profile. Also, the interface is very user-friendly and intuitive...
