introducing the in-laws is no easy task especially when you're the oldest son in a Japanese family
and even if my husband and I get along just fine that doesn't mean that our parents will
so my mom came to Japan for the very first time and this should be interesting
Japanese don't give hugs my mom has a lot to learn before meeting
his parents so I'm taking her across the country and teaching her a little
bit about the culture before the big day I hope this goes all right

waiting did you leave yet hi Look at Tommy he's gonna really relax for the next 30 minutes

in-laws went really really well and I think his parents feel the same way in fact we hung
out multiple times during this trip and my mom had a great time as well but the
adventure is not over because the next big thing is taking this guy to America for the first time
We're leaving Japan.
and this is my first time leaving Japan in over three years it's been
a really long time since I've been to America let alone drove or did anything
Back in America baby! Ha ha!
