My oldest kid thinks she would like to come back to Japan and live for a while once she’s done with school. But she wants to finish school back home first.
Similar story here. Although salaries in Japan can't compete with Australia (one of the highest in the world) we decided to live in Japan. No drugs, no guns, affordable housing & a culture of respect were the attractions. Daughter walks to school everyday. Everyone is polite. We never lock our house, ever. For us, there's no comparison.
Unfortunately Australia does not have high salaries compared to the rest of the world. We have fallen behind due to inflation, expensive housing and cost of living, poor government, over immigration. We hope to move to Japan in the near future as we see the same attractions as yourself.
I taught part time at a Catholic, all girl high school in Okazaki from 2003-2008, as well as the kindergarten next door where I taught from 2003 till March of this year. I also taught at Okazaki Fuzoku Elementary School for 25 years until March of this year. Trying to figure out where this video was filmed. Perhaps near the Lynx Hotel? Or near the tip of Irago?
@@larrikinjapan Trying to figure out how to get my contact info to you. Wondering if this will work: Perhaps if I take a photo of my contact info and post it here I think that you would be the only one who would be able to see it. You could write the info down and then delete it. What do you think?
We returned home to Oz from Wakayama to have our kids and i think it has been a good decision. My daughter is just about to graduate from UNSW and just did 1 year at uni in Kyoto she loves Japan . My boy plays cricket for NSW and has the U17 nationals in Tasmania in January comming up . He loves baseball too .
Really interesting to hear your story! We have had parallel lives at each end of the world. My wife came to Australia on a working holiday in 1992. We met in 1997, married in 1998 and our daughter Anna was born in 1999. Then our son Liam was born in Nov 2001!!! Anna looks more European and Liam looks a little more Japanese with darker hair and skin. It will be interesting when we meet! Sadly, our kids don't speak great Japanese (my Japanese is way better than theirs). We didn't do the Sunday Japanese school thing as we are also in the country and would have had to travel to Melbourne, so our kids are just culturally totally Australian. I'm 61 and my wife is 5 years younger. How old are you?
Great video. Thanks
You are welcome

My daughter went there. I taught at so many of the little elementary school in Okazaki. Around the bay from Hazu to Kira beach.
@ Yeah, that’s what I thought. I often go to Higashi Hazu and Ishiki as well.
I live about 10 minutes from Hauz Near Aisin

That’s good to know. I have a 2 year old here
I can see that the most trouble wasn't money so much, and more like picking on them, lol. Nice video man keep it up!
You got that right!

Very similar. The kids are nearly the same age. I am 67.
Why is everyone wearing a mask outside? Is this video from 4 years ago?
Parts of it might be maybe 2 years ago. Even now many Japanese still wear masks.

Thanks
That film footage you use looks old. Everyone wearing masks. 😮nice job anyway
