What a project! Looking great ❤
Can’t wait for you to see it in person ❤
When is next video we waiting
I posted it already !
So jealous! We were forced to DFW from Kansas and I’m not from either place. I hate DFW and Kansas is my favorite place I’ve lived. Couldn’t as for a nicer group of people! Kansans are so great and I love the snow. My algorithm is really mean showing me this video. So jealous.
Yes people From Kansas seem so nice so far! :)
I agree with u lauren. Im happy you quit. Its bad for your mental and financial health.😂
That’s a beautiful house! Are you going to use the garage for an AirBnB?
Maybe! We do have plans to finish it so we plan to look into it.
I actually lived in the house right behind the house behind you in the beginning. I lived there from about 2018-end of 2020. Really cool to see all the parts of this neighborhood again instead of going on google earth or something like that. I have no idea whether you lived in that same neighborhood when me my parents and younger brother lived there but I remember those plants and a young boy who played with my brother outside all the time. Cool place and once again thanks for this video.
We lived there 2019-2023 :)
Kansassssssss
That was me ^ :) wrong account
Dang you had a whole day before it even started! Proud of you ❤
Yes, it’s tropical👍🌴🥭🌺🌴
Always someone coughing
The tiny cough at the start. 😂
hi. how did you manage to find a pet friendly apartment? I heard a cat meowing in the background hehe.
Hi, we lived in a house . We were SOFA sponsored and a lot of housing agencies cater to military families with animals .
i see. thanks for answering. I hope I could also find a pet friendly apartment soon :)
Meeko is SO cute! Also that peanut butter burger looks amazing haha. Glad your road trip went well! Candice, Andrew & Riley 🐾
Thank you!! 😁
I'm a little slow at times. We were in the elevator together this afternoon at our temp lodging. Good luck on your journey and thanks for the videos.
Thanks :)
Hi you're such an amazing woman Lauren! Im here searching some work like becoming an ALT as well. Would you mind sharing the company you work with since you have shared something in this vid? For us to have some options too, only if you like tho👍 thanks in advance :)
Thank you! I'd rather not share the name of the company for privacy reasons.
What a great trip! Too bad Ellie is in the Dumps !😢
its not a vacation with kids unless someone poops or throws up :P
I think we missed a lot in Hakone! You definitely stayed in a more interesting place than in Gora where we stayed. 😅Also, I didn’t know there was a hands on museum up at the top!! The kids would have loved that. 😂 oh well.
Next time! ;)
you go india instead!
That would be a fun trip sometime!
That’s so awesome you are coming back to the States!
Interesting! And your vlog is cool, though please let me suggest having more tranquil music on the car rides, as well as sound modulation to match the sound level of the rest of the video. Or talk over (VO) the ride, since you have a nice, calm, voice... perfect for vlogging, as well as being informative! Your voice without background music was perfect (with no competing media)! On that note, you actually have a screen persona that would be good for the enjoyable side of living in Japan, and/or vlogging about your family life in Japan. I think your vlog will get big, with a few tweaks, so keep up the good work! Anyway, I'm very interested in what you said about being an ALT, because I'm looking into being either a private tutor in Japan or an ALT (or both). So here's something you might be able to tell me about! I'm a 72 year old American man; I've taught English in South Korea and in Thailand; and I wonder whether or not in Japan they would hire someone my age. Actually I'm athletic and I still like to play baseball. So I don't fit that stereotypical view that some people have of older men! I could even coach baseball, or simply play baseball with the locals, while teaching English in Japan. I actually played baseball with my college students in Korea; and in Thailand I taught my high school students (the girls as well as the boys) about baseball; we played catch, and had batting practice, after school. Anyway, what do you think about the powers that be, in Japan, hiring a 72 year old? The Japanese people do love baseball ⚾ including baseball players! 😃 I'm a new subscriber to your channel!
Hi! Thanks for the feedback 😊 My company and other ALT companies are always looking for new employees so I'm sure they would hire you especially with your experience. That being said, I'd use it more as a jumping off job to get Into the country and use the time you're working to find another teaching job that pays better.
Thank you.
Ok, sooo I had a brain fart and incorrectly called the foliage at the spinny park hydrangea AND arbor vitae ... It's wisteria 😅😅
They're organic obv
Their fish sticks look a little different
Thanks for the video! I saw a video once that showed some of Japan's unique vending machines. Can you show us a few of those?
That would be a fun episode! A lot of the unique ones are out in Tokyo.
Ahahaha the beach fails. I miss the early to bed, early to rise.❤️
Omg Lauren! So interesting! Cannot wait to see what’s next! I’ve heard only less than ideal things about ALT positions on tiktok🙃 BUT YOU DID IT!
I did! For a little bit anyway 😜
