The cherry blossoms have started blooming here in Japan which means Spring is finally here! The weather’s warming up, kids are gearing up for the new school year, and mothers are rushing to the store to pick up the latest bento goods!
Wait…bento goods?
Yes, bento goods! Have you ever heard of deko-ben or kyara-ben?!? If not, this episode is a MUST SEE!
I was archiving some old videos when I realized that we still hadn’t made a bloopers video yet!
I know it might be hard to believe, but Aaron and I make A LOT of mistakes filming HHJ. lol. I took some of our favorites and put them together in this short compilation video. Let us know which blooper you like the best!
Sorry for not posting a video in so long, it’s been a very busy few weeks. I hope all of you are doing well.
In this episode, I discuss how the Japanese celebrate Valentine’s Day. It’s a little different than you might be used to. Plus, I introduce a holiday called White Day and what it’s all about.
I’m back with another episode! After going on a couple of road trips over the last few weeks, I thought it would be a good chance to talk about driving in Japan.
As a lot of you know, driving isn’t the most popular way for travelers to Japan to get from point A to point B. Nevertheless, I still felt it would be worth discussing for those of you out there who are more adventurous and would like to travel somewhere (like to an onsen) that is only accessible by car, as well as for any of you planning to move here.
There are definitely a few things to be aware of before getting behind the wheel so be sure to watch this video if you plan to drive in Japan.
Some of you caught wind of my little accident on the slopes and I started getting emails from viewers like yourself asking if I was OK. I really appreciate everyone’s concern and thought it’d be best to make a quick little video to let you all know I’m doing fine.
I also thought this would be a perfect opportunity to talk about my experiences with health care in Japan as well as share a tip I have on learning vocabulary!
I know I’m a little late, but here’s the latest video on New Year traditions in Japan
I think I’ve mentioned it many times already, but New Years here in Japan is a really big deal. It’s probably the biggest holiday of the year for the Japanese and it comes with a lot of traditions.
In this episode, I thought I would pass along some of the traditions (both modern and traditional) that I’ve encountered in my experiences here in Japan.
I know I’m a little late, but Happy New Year! Thanks for a great 2009 and all the best in 2010!
Just the other day, I was in Tokyo and decided to make this short video about how to ride the train in Japan…afterall it is the most popular form of public transportation.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough footage for a full-blown episode, but you can think of this as the first of many “2-minute topic” videos!
