  • When you're an ex-pat living in Japan, one thing you have certainly experienced is jet lag, but just how our family plans on getting over it is as varied as their personalities. We'll get a chance to test our theories as we travel abroad in this episode of Life in Japan.

    I have watched quite a few traveling videos in Japan. I love how the ground crew always waves goodbye. It doesn’t matter if you travel by train, ferry or plane. It’s really cool.

    the kids sang so nice back in the car on the way to the airport❤ That reminded me how much I allways wished to have many siblings when I was a child, I grew up with only one sister!
    Oh, and I reacted when one of the twins said "it's so weird with shoes on" as she walked in to grandmom's house, here in Finland we never,ever walk inside with shoes on, just like in Japan we take them off!

    Love the fact that you have been able to take your children to visit with the American side of your family . A blessing for both you and your family . Really did not need another seemingly endless flight video , I was waiting for some fun reunion footage😂😂❤ . I sincerely hope you and your children enjoy your summer break 😊. Here in uk St. Swithan is also having a holiday , we were due 40 days of rain 😮. Have fun in the US 🇺🇸 🎉🎉🎉

      @LIJ it is lovely to see a family although separated by time zones / distance, is still fully committed to maintaining those family bonds . So important for children's sense of their place in this world . I still remember the footage of Vovo teaching Joshua to swim 🏊‍♀️ 😀 🤣. I'm sorry if my comment about the travel footage seemed personal . Frankly, as one of four myself in a service family ,( frequent moves ), I am always amazed at how cheerfully your children travel . I'm sure their friends cannot wait to hear tales of their summer holiday's 🤭😮😲 😁😁. Safe travels, God bless .

The fireworks were welcoming you guys back to the States :) I am hoping you all will have an amazing time!

    ‘Friendly skies are United.’ Why did you choose JAL? My know how to recover jet lag early is to sleep if I’m sleepy but under lighting and stay awake if I’m not sleepy but with curtain shut because light adjusts brain.

    母国に里帰りは楽しいでしょうね〜!
    日本は蒸し暑いし、アメリカの方が湿度低そうだから過ごしやすいのかな?
