    I really like how you made the effort to make sure nobody would be too embarassed and could enjoy the meeting. As far as I know, japanese are well aware of how difficult their culture can be for foreigners and they tolerate a lot, but teaching your mom things surely helped her to feel more comfortable before meeting your in-laws and also "break the ice" faster and more easily when they realize she knows a lot more than they would expect from a foreign person. Your thoughtfulness is really wholesome and should be an example of how to behave when dealing with different cultures. It makes things so much easier when you embrace the differences and try to learn about each other.

    I made a comment on your channel from a time back about a time in the late 70s of when my roomie and I were in Japan in OgakiGifu visiting the parents of our college dorm-mate (Japanese) when I was in college in Ashland, Oregon. I made a comment about the neighbor farm ladies in Ogaki pulling my eyelids down to check out the colors of my pupils. I can't believe it has been so long. Anyhow, my point today is that it's so nice to see people today living in Japan who don't surprise me. I had a similar experience with my roommate's unmet fiance's parents in Japan (long story). Their daughter was in the US and invited me and my roommate from Ogaki living in Oregon to visit them while we were on our way driving through her home while we were driving along the North Sea. Their hospitality and joviality was boundless. It made me chuckle and feel warm and sure sent the memories shooting back.

    When I travelled to Japan many years ago a young Japanese lady was sitting besides me in the plane. She told me that I must be able to use chopsticks in Japan. So she just exchanged the food: She took my western food, gave me her Japanese food and taught me how to use the chopsticks. When we arrived in Japan after this long distance flight, I had my lesson learned - thanks to this lady!

      13% of the US homeless population are veterans whereas only 7% of the population at large are veterans (HUD statistics), meaning they are overrepresented by almost double.

    I absolutely love your videos, I can somewhat relate as I am an American living in Mexico with a Mexican spouse. It's always been my experience that people are pleased when a person simply makes an effort to speak a foreign language, and to learn their customs. Your mother reminds me so much of my own mother, when she has traveled to Mexico to meet my in-laws. On another note I think it's wonderful how you are able to move to another country and learn their language and culture, and how you are able to fit in with ease, despite the fact that your appearance will always make you stand out.
