Is it me, or does there seem to be a theme with the type of African Americans that go to Japan? or at least the ones that have always been featured in this channel. Just something I've noticed. Maybe it speaks to something deeper emotionally and mentally....maybe.
As a Japanese person (though I'm not from Okinawa), it makes me SO HAPPY to hear that they like living in my home country! Sending much love to this beautiful couple :)
That is so cool! Your parents are very special people! Their intelligence, enthusiasm for life, and their love for one another and for their family is infectious. You are so lucky! I completely agree with your parents’ perspective on the US and their love for Japan. I wish you and your family all the best! 😎
I agree. Your parents are amazing... Their vibrant, radiant, glowing enthusiasm and appreciation for life and where they live is infectious, just like someone below commented. My instantaneous thought was: how do I become friends with these people? 😂 (Also, seriously considering moving to Okinawa after hearing how lovely it is and I live on a gorgeous island off the west coast of Canada, but they've sold me on Japan!!! 😆😆😆)
Eating vegan leaving dead diseased animals and dairy alone really make you glow. Physically and spiritually. God loves when we don't murder his other magnificent creations
I love Japan so much, I take solo trips there every year since I moved abroad. The seasons in Japan, Especially Kyoto and Osaka, just change soooo beautifully.
I miss Okinawa too. I just want to know if the Soul Food restaurant “Sauce” is still open man that place was bomb used to be right on Highway 58 before you get to Foster heading South Naha was lit great food there took but you are right the locals were hella cook enjoy your time there and IPCOT if you can
Thank you for the awesome comments and compliments we are truly humbled. I’m glad we were able to inspire many of you to venture out and see new places. I’m not making any promises but I may have to look into the tours idea lol. We still have so many places we want to visit, INCLUDING THE MOTHERLAND and other parts of the diaspora because we have friends from the islands and the continent who live here on Okinawa and on mainland. We hope we get to do a part two soon and get to introduce some more of our friends to you all. Oh Wendall and I cracked up at the Malcolm and Obama references 🙌🏾😂.
Yes!! You would do well and I think it would be appreciated by many who want to visit. I would love to visit. And would feel comfortable with your awesome personality!
Kjell Koehler you are 100% correct about world travel. It’s the best education you will ever receive. I’m very grateful my parent took me traveling at an early age.
My husband and I are American. We travel all over. And no matter where we visit, we're always thrilled to be back home in the U.S.A.-the best country in the world. There's a *reason* why we're so patriotic.
these couple are not just american expats no more they are solid okinawans.. I once have a black neighbor living in philippines was so surprised how diverse philippines and i brought him to a place where the first original filipinos are still living and he teared up to his surprise the original filipinos were african ancestry their tribe is called aeta.
I know, through Documentary, De whole World was Blacks, Chinese & Japanese also Indians, Asian, is really Mongolians, After Mongolians invasions, then de European. Check Ancient History, Peoples living on this Earth since over 300 Billion years to present.
There are original blackanese. You could imagine my surprise having grown up in Chicago in the 60s and 70s going to Japan to find black people. A matter of awe and pride.
I bet he would cry even more if he found out how poorly the philippine government treats the Aetas. BTW the Aetas are NOT african. They are aboriginal peoples similar to the people of Australia or Papua New Guinea.
Us filipinos are diverse! We are dark-skinned originally and a lot of us still are, but media like to portray we are mostly half white (NOT true).... we were natives in a land that was colonized so eventually tribes tried to protect their culture by moving to the mountains where they are isolated. Still a lot of us tribes left today, some evolved, some the same, a lot in different dialects too. sorry for the mini history lesson on my culture, hope u found this interesting :)
Razo, you're a wonderful interviewer. You let people talk and express themself without interrupting. Thank you for being a great host, scholar, and man. God bless you and yours. The couple was awesome.
True! He gets the best of their interviewers by being a good listener and just making questions right on the moment! Amazing how he makes it so addicting to watch !
I just left Okinawa, my husband was stationed on Camp Schwab and then Camp Hansen. We’ve been back in America for 3 months and yes I miss Oki!! I told my husband when he retires let’s become DODEA school teachers and go back there! It’s beautiful, it’s clean, the scenic views, and Oh my goodness The Children’s Parks!!! They think of it all when it comes to the kids. She’s right the old Okinawian people are super sweet. I miss the safety of the city and I miss the easy travel to other countries. I’ve been to South Korea, Tokyo, and the Philippines for a few hundred dollars from Oki. Okinawa will always have a place in my heart.
I was stationed in Sasebo from 2006-2010. It's, in fact, the safest place I've ever lived! I never experienced one instance of anti-black racism. I even went on deployment for 5-6 months and forgot to look my front door. Nothing was touched. And white beach in Oki is crazy beautiful....you can see the ocean floor from the pier!
This was a great interview!! Anquinette is my big sister and Wendall is my brother-in-law and I hate that they moved back but I am glad that they are happy living there.
Must be hard, but u have a fabulous place to visit when you're able! This is so inspiring I've opened up my old Duolingo app to learn Japanese. I'm single, no ties in America & determined to experience something other than this mess. Hopefully I will meet nice locals and have a positive experience someday. ❤️
@twofacedladyjj 42 , They are so radiant and a beautiful happy couple . I teared up watching this because I helped my siblings putting their children through college, medical dental school etc, and they are now starting their own families [ I am a grand aunt of 9 sweet peas ] Long term relationships with men I helped with their children as well...fast forward I have nothing material to show for decades of hard work. I would have liked to know if Anquinette found it easy regarding employment on Okinawa, or is it suited for military families only? I am single college educated African American female, I lived in New York my entire life, decades in corporate and then my own business. Unfortunately I lost everything due to a predator...I don't want to be here any more [literally] , depressed etc. If I relocated I would have to earn a living. I am an accountant by profession 24 years , and had my commercial snow removal business for 22 years. I have travelled internationally and here in New York , love to go upstate to Saratoga to SPAC for Freihofer Jazz Festival, camping for weeks upstate in the Adirondaks either in a tent or lean to structure...the landscape in Okinawa seems so serene and peaceful. Please reply as to whether you think an African American college educated older woman can start over in a foreign land. Thank you.
Great interview, their body language is so pure, he seems like a protector and she seems like a great wife and mother. Being somewhere your family is safe doesn’t only have to be in America, also they would be amazing having their own tour guide company!
Primm & Proper thank you so much. He most definitely is a protector and provider. My father definitely saw that in him and told us both that he felt that I am in good hands with him and that means the world to us both. I agree you can find your safety wherever you feel comfortable. I wish we all could rest in this type of life it takes such a load off of your shoulders and you can just be authentically you. A lot of people are asking about me doing tours I may need to look into it lol.
Shout out to TBEJ for giving them the opportunity to share their experience with the world. My wife and I are fortunate to know and have served with Wendall and Anquanette. They are a wonderful couple. Okinawa has great people, amazing culture, delicious food, beautiful beaches and landscapes, and it is also safe. A great place to raise children. ♥️ Okinawa
Good words loved it. Whoever is reading this and going through hard times, sorrow, loss, addictions and depression. You will raise up dont give up you can do this
Omg thank you 🤗. The Philippines is one of the other places we want to visit we have friends who live there, the husband is black and he LOVES it there. I was jealous my husband got to go he had a lot of fun even while working.
A 65 year old man was shot to death by police in the Philippines last month because he didn't have his mask (blindfold) on. They're wildin' out down there, backwards ass government. Age of consent is 12 which leads to exploited children, prevalent sex tourism, single child moms all over the place, no birth control or right to choose...women have it very rough there. It's a shame that they're always in such social and economic turmoil, it really is a beautiful place.
Yes. This is how life should be. I am happy for the Lewises. The little car she drove was a K11 Nissan Micra or March. Quite popular in Japan, UK and third world countries. The little SUV is a Suzuki Samurai, based on the Suzuki Jimny. Lots of offroad guys in the US would just love to get their hands on the Jimny. The car Mr Lewis owns is a R32 Nissan Skyline with the RB26TT engine. Best Regards, Trinidad & Tobago.
They seem like the kind of people to always see the positives of every situation. And that part the wife mentioned about the sitting on the beach and watching a fisherman walk by? It was like I was there. Like I could actually taste the salt of the ocean carried by a warm breeze. Gosh darn it, I need to move!!
Once again, Ranzo, keeps on knocking another one out the park not to mention really do love the fact that brothers who've served in the military have gained the experience of seeing the world abroad.
People REALLY think I'm exaggerating when I say pretty much EVERYWHERE in the world is safer than the US for black folks. Especially here in Asia. So glad seeing these stories being told to amplify our voices and get more brothers and sisters abroad. I'll never move back to the states.
The truth is happiness starts from within your inner self.. Not necessarily where you live or travel. It seems some black people always expect red carpet treatment going elsewhere and if they don't, it's racism. Yes, the States have that disease but you can even go to other black countries and receive the same hatred. It is nice this couple are enjoying their lives in Okinawa, but happiness starts with you and not from how others may perceive you. There will always be some form of prejudice wherever one may go.
I always respect people who practise the "when in rome..." philosophy and also the "home is where the heart is". You two are inspiring living examples. I just googled Okinawa and had no idea how stunning it is! How is it not overrun with tourists? Anquinette should totally host a tour - you both have such calm and likeable personalities.
Sounds peaceful. All we want is to be treated equally and not stereotyped like in America. We are peaceful people.....and want peace and positive vibes and energy
100% true I tell non black ppl that all the time. IT A HUMANITARIAN ISSUE--We’re not looking to dominate or take over etc. We just want to be treated equally n normal & just feel safe living life daily. THATS ALL!
This interview fills my heart with joy! I had the opportunity to live in Okinawa for a year and it changed my whole outlook in life. I would love to go back.
We did the same thing with traveling everywhere. I was constantly leaving the base with my language book and a phone and landed up somewhere. I found so many places even some of the locals have not been to. It was so much fun! My kids still say how I can't sit still and that I always want to go anywhere.
I was born and raised in Okinawa. Unfortunately, never was stationed there. Spent most time in mainland and US. Okinawans are considered to be Centurions. Eventually, I will retire there.
Love them and can definitely relate. July will make 2 years of me living in Vietnam. As an army brat who grew up in Germany, it was always so hard for me going back to the States. Deciding to live as an expat has been the greatest decision of my life. My only regret is when I got out of the Army myself, that I didn’t leave America right away. I stayed trying to live the American dream as a civilian. It was a waste of a few years. I don’t think I will ever permanently live in a America again, and that decision comes easy. There is nothing there for me. There are so many beautiful, safe, and more welcoming countries in this world that can also become home. Wishing this lovely couple the best.
I have asthma that's triggered by people wearing perfumes or dryer vents pumping out scented detergents. Is Vietnam's air decent? Do people wear fragrances/smoke a lot?
This reminded me of when I went to Ukraine, as a Jamaican and a black woman who has been to America and is on social media and see the injustice met out to people of colour, I was a bit apprehensive of acceptance...wweellll... I can tell you that my mind was blown by how friendly the people were, I was there for 3 months, was supposed to be there for 1 month, but changed my ticket to the day my visa expired.....yeah it was that good.
I have a friend in Okinawa. I visited and it felt like home. I was so comfortable there. I live on the mainland of Japan and it’s was great....but I have been trying to get a job and live in Okinawa. That’s how amazing the people, culture, and land is. I can totally relate.
Japan and South Korea are some of the safest places to live in the world. Countries with almost 0 Gun violence. I am considering moving to Seoul because America ain’t it.
From my perspective as a Japanese, Japan and S.Korea may seem similar at first glance, but they have a completely different national atmosphere. I hope your adventure is filled with happiness. :)
My sister is stationed in Seoul. It’s fairly pretty but it gets really cold in the winter and outside of shopping in Meongdong and walking through some old temples I didn’t really find much else to do. Japan however I loved. I was stationed in Yokosuka which is just 30-45 minutes from Tokyo and I would recommend there over Seoul.
Welcome Back Fam! Glad you came back to make Japan your home. I hope you and your family enjoy life in Okinawa as much as we have here in the Kansai area.
I went to Japan this past Fall and fell in love. It was so wonderful and I can definitely see myself living there. I'm seriously thinking of ways to go back and live for a while.
Okinawa was on my bucket list way back in 1985. So Feb 2020 I treated myself to an amazing birthday gift for the big one. My Tokyo visit had a 3 day stopover in Okinawa. Flew YVR-HND overnight then hop-on a 9am to OKN for a very short 3 days stay. If I didn't have to see the grandbabies in Tokyo, I would have stayed longer. I understand this couple's love for this island. Ronzo man, we gotta move there!! I picked up real estate info. I returned home and started planning my retirement,. Once I have housing. the rest will be fine. As I'll be having lots of visitors. Love this Island and people. To note, I swore it was Obama talking to. I closed my eyes and the guy's voice. WoW, sounds like Barack. Another great 👍 one.
What a magnificent couple!! It's such a blessing to see a american black couple living their life in Japan!! I went to korea in 10/2019 before this Covid-19!! I had a great time!! I'm planning my second to the East and Japan is where I'm coming not sure which part!! But this couple has given me some great intel!! I'm definitely going to keep Okinawa in mind!! For my second journey!! Congrats to this couple and may you both continue to be BLESSED!!🙏❤🙏
Very refreshing! I think as an African American, I have learned to have so much inner peace that it has helped me navigate peacefully through life, however I have heard beautiful testimonials of African Americans who have traveled outside of USA and able to, like this couple, experience outward peace, which is a higher and greater level of living, it's great seeing and hearing about the experience! Why would you want to return to USA, other than to visit? Keep enjoying the good life, that's what God intended!
why do u think u can't create that peace in the US? blcks in the US are killing each other like crazy, areas with a large number of blcks are not peaceful and most of the crime is committed by blcks, u r responsible for the lack of peace, u need to create it yourselves
That’s the thing doesn’t matter how much inner peace you have or how peacefully you navigate through life, you always have to worry is today gonna be the day I leave my house and have to deal with a racist person or cop who harass brutalize or possibly kill me just for living and being, you can’t even just live sometimes without people wanting to bother you for any little reason in america simply cause of skin color
Been in Japan for 5 years now and this is something I struggle with. I always wonder if i should go back. After all my family and friends are there, my favorite foods are there, and the salaries are higher. No language barriers is a plus. But i always have these dreams where i am back in america freaking out that i need to go back to japan. My brain wants to go back but my heart wants to stay here
My son lives in kyota hes been there 10 years set up business speaks the language learnt alot while living in japan the locals are so humble and delightful and respectful so relaxed out there
I'm a black woman from Detroit. I moved to Japan for a job and lived in Okinawa for 3 years. I had a great experience. Japan 🇯🇵 is an amazing country. The people are amazing. I loved it and would definitely go back.
Had a friend in Elementary School who was from Okinawa Japan. Her name was Parc. I remember that she was tall for her age. Very nice. She use to come to my house a lot since I lived across the street from the School.
I feel the same way as your guest. I’ve told newcomers to “ get off 58,” turn down a road, any road and explore. There’s also a stretch of street that plays music. So many opportunities to just live.
I work in Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and my brother works In Hiroshima prefecture. When I visit him we go to Hiroshima City. It’s a very beautiful city with great food. Being born and living in Hawaii all my life. Beaches don’t really impress me all that much. I think I am more of a city person. I been to Tokyo and Osaka. I think those cities would be a bit too busy for me. If I had to pick a city it would be Kyoto. I get the big city life with easy access to beautiful nature in Kyoto and Nara. Osaka is close too, when I want to be in the hustle and bustle.
I'm happy this beautiful couple found peace in this world! I've personally got a few spots I've found traveling the world for work and recreation for my older years. Travel and explore if you get the chance.
Wow, I love their passion, perspective and progressive behavior for adapting without fear of the unknown which is mental state of mind needed to travel and living in cultures outside of hometown, city and country of origin...I felt the enthusiasm of adventure listening to there story.
This was damn cool to watch. Visiting Japan for the first time, I felt very convicted that everyone should be granted the opportunity to go somewhere far, far away. No better way for the mind to truly gain some perspective.
Thank you, I am from New Zealand, this video has inspired me to visit Japan once this covid virus is under control. You are a wonderful couple, your honesty is truly inspiring.
I would love to live somewhere else. I'm not surprised about their experience. Japan is beautiful from what I'm told anyway. My daughter has a trip planned, not sure which part, to Japan once she's able to travel. Thanks for sharing this experience.
Their energy is so warm and positive. They look so happy and at peace. Not stressed out. Not afraid. Just enjoying life. To be retired military and not look a day over 35, he did it right. I'm active duty with 8 years to go. Planning to expat as soon as I retire. This channel is further enforcing my decision.
Love this couple! Love their connection and positivity. It’s wonderful to see a couple who respect each other and you can feel it easily. Their interview makes me want to move there!! You both should consider a YT channel were you just show us the sites of Okinawa!
I was able to do an inter-company transfer in 2005 to Europe. I moved back to the USA in 2016 and after 18mths I had to move back to Europe. I have talked with other Americans that have gone through the same. When you experience a different culture it changes your mind set to what is more than likely very different to a mind set in the USA. I like going back to the USA to visit family and friends but home for me is Europe.
They are a beautiful couple!!!!! I miss Okinawa!!!!! I was there from 2002-2003 as active duty Marine and 2007. Yes, yes and yes you have to get out and explore the island! Its peaceful and tropical. I am so happy for them 🤗💜💜💜
My guy. Got a GT-R! Nice. I do cars too. Had a right hand drive here in the states went to Japan and drove an Evo 6 and currently have a new mustang GT and a 700hp Evo x. I cannot wait to go back and rent a R34. Videos of this stuff on my channel.
Lived here for 2 years and miss it. Can’t describe that feeling when you are driving through sugar cane and then see the ocean. Something peaceful you can’t get in the states. Okinawa is a wonderful place!
Lived there for 3 years, by far the best place I’ve ever lived and the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. Safe, beautiful nice people the History you name it Okinawa is a hidden gem 💎.
I'm so glad that I got this as a recommendation. I've always wanted to live in Japan as a kid but never even visited but now this video reminded me of something I completely gave up on because I never really knew black people living in Japan. Thank you and you have a new subscriber ❤
My wife Hiromi was born in Okinawa. Her father married an Okinawan woman. She was raised in South Texas & eventually moved to Hawaii where we met. I was in the Navy. I wld love 2 take Hiromi 2 Okinawa. Maybe one day!/ Anyhow...glad u're happy. You seem like a sweet couple. Take care.
@TheSeductiveArts Honestly, I've been so ravaged by this system that I don't know if my mental can muster the strength. I can't even get out of bed these days. The magnitude of what's taken place hits my gut so hard; I'm overwhelmed with the awareness of the traps. If you only knew how much as a single black woman, how much I have been STRIPPED of everything. What family didn't take, a downlow grown boy wormed into my life took. What he didn't take, a childhood friend stole. What she didn't take, a neighbor burglarized. What they didn't get a landlord stole. It goes on and on...the tangibles and intangibles. There's a universal crisis of integrity going on here. That's what the USA breeds - corruption and thievery. Individuals and institutions alike. Anyone with a hallmark of purity is at risk of being ravaged here; considered a mark. This county is the Devil's den. I'm so tired. My passport, college degree certificates, my reputation (they lie, attack your character, and become allies to split the spoils amongst them), and my peace has literally been stolen. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. All that effort, focus, study, working, and planning has left me unable to fend off the wolves. I'm roadkill at this point. I want to pick up and try again but my heart; it's tired. But I pray and I share; be careful who you let in your mind, heart, in your home. Grace is the only hope and even then your lot in life may be to know the Devil lives amongst you. If your family, friends, spouse, community, city, state, and country belong to darkness, your light is a battle cry. Be careful. Walk alone, before you're swallowed whole. That's what I have to share at this point. May God be with you and Jesus within. This is my solace and what's left of me to offer. Get out of the USA! Don't wait. There's nothing here worth salvaging. It's evil. Just go. Get your education, relationships, and personal development elsewhere and build there. Anywhere! But leave while you can and don't look back. This country and Seattle in particular is today's Babylon. All the corrupted, sexually deviant, racists, and materialists hunt the decent here. It's such a wicked trap place, this country. Evil. I'm not crazy. I'm sharing my truth. I don't indulge in alcohol, drugs, or self pity. I'm a spiritual, educated, and kind person. I'm moved to tell anyone who's willing to read this - lest you wind up like me. Stuck, ravaged, and broken. The writing is on the wall. The Devil built this lie of a country.

The Black Experience Japan You guys ever heard of An old tv called BLIJ black life in japan?
Is it me, or does there seem to be a theme with the type of African Americans that go to Japan? or at least the ones that have always been featured in this channel. Just something I've noticed. Maybe it speaks to something deeper emotionally and mentally....maybe.

I love Japan, travelled there as a single black female and always felt safe and welcomed. So glad they experience the same
May I ask exactly what parts you travelled to?
@@Gabbb411 Hi. Spent time in Tokyo, Kyoto, Takayama and The Mount Fuji area. If you're planning on going, please go it's Amazing
carol Jones hey! I really want to do a solo trip if not live there for at least a year. Been doing a lot of research. Thanks for the info!
I love Japan so much, I take solo trips there every year since I moved abroad. The seasons in Japan, Especially Kyoto and Osaka, just change soooo beautifully.
it's safe but the men are perverted,unlike the US
Their energy is infectious. So happy they got out and lived life.
ndawon1 thank you so much. We try to be happy no matter where we are and we enjoy meeting new people.
It is crazy... They look like they are in their late 20's. Both look so young!
@@goodjudygirlfriend you're literally the sweetest couple. ❤️❤️
I’m a black woman currently in Okinawa with my family and I completely agree! The locals are super friendly here too 😁
I love friendly locals. I haven't experienced that. I see it in videos and I can't wait to experience it.
Yes ma’am 🙌🏾
I'm glad to hear this. I was just thinking I want to get out of the U.S. I want a peaceful existence in a place where the mindsets aren't so toxic.
How much is it to live there.
I miss Okinawa too. I just want to know if the Soul Food restaurant “Sauce” is still open man that place was bomb used to be right on Highway 58 before you get to Foster heading South Naha was lit great food there took but you are right the locals were hella cook enjoy your time there and IPCOT if you can

You guys are such an inspiration. I hope you guys are doing well during this time
What an amazing place. Thank you for sharing.⭐️
Do the MOTHERLAND Sister !!!!!!
Yep. Get out and see the world, Americans- you will likely find out that there are many, many places you could easily call home.
Kjell Noekker many places better than there for black folks.
Kjell Koehler you are 100% correct about world travel. It’s the best education you will ever receive. I’m very grateful my parent took me traveling at an early age.

I agree.
talljib, I definitely will pay for her service
I would pay also..
Yes please*
I just left Okinawa, my husband was stationed on Camp Schwab and then Camp Hansen. We’ve been back in America for 3 months and yes I miss Oki!! I told my husband when he retires let’s become DODEA school teachers and go back there! It’s beautiful, it’s clean, the scenic views, and Oh my goodness The Children’s Parks!!! They think of it all when it comes to the kids. She’s right the old Okinawian people are super sweet. I miss the safety of the city and I miss the easy travel to other countries. I’ve been to South Korea, Tokyo, and the Philippines for a few hundred dollars from Oki. Okinawa will always have a place in my heart.
I was stationed in Sasebo from 2006-2010. It's, in fact, the safest place I've ever lived! I never experienced one instance of anti-black racism. I even went on deployment for 5-6 months and forgot to look my front door. Nothing was touched. And white beach in Oki is crazy beautiful....you can see the ocean floor from the pier!
This was a great interview!! Anquinette is my big sister and Wendall is my brother-in-law and I hate that they moved back but I am glad that they are happy living there.
twofacedladyjj 42 I’ll just have to bring you out here on vacation and not let you leave for a while lol 😂.
I am glad they are happy.
Must be hard, but u have a fabulous place to visit when you're able! This is so inspiring I've opened up my old Duolingo app to learn Japanese. I'm single, no ties in America & determined to experience something other than this mess. Hopefully I will meet nice locals and have a positive experience someday. ❤️
@@fusionlovestories I have ties, BUT I'm going ANYWAY .
@twofacedladyjj 42 , They are so radiant and a beautiful happy couple . I teared up watching this because I helped my siblings putting their children through college, medical dental school etc, and they are now starting their own families [ I am a grand aunt of 9 sweet peas ] Long term relationships with men I helped with their children as well...fast forward I have nothing material to show for decades of hard work. I would have liked to know if Anquinette found it easy regarding employment on Okinawa, or is it suited for military families only? I am single college educated African American female, I lived in New York my entire life, decades in corporate and then my own business. Unfortunately I lost everything due to a predator...I don't want to be here any more [literally] , depressed etc. If I relocated I would have to earn a living. I am an accountant by profession 24 years , and had my commercial snow removal business for 22 years. I have travelled internationally and here in New York , love to go upstate to Saratoga to SPAC for Freihofer Jazz Festival, camping for weeks upstate in the Adirondaks either in a tent or lean to structure...the landscape in Okinawa seems so serene and peaceful. Please reply as to whether you think an African American college educated older woman can start over in a foreign land. Thank you.
planning to move to Japan after this pandemic, can't wait.
Same here
Good luck hope the transition is smooth for you
Welcome!
@Real Judah it doesn't even make sense...
Go for it guys, I wish you all the blessings 🙌🏾.
Great interview, their body language is so pure, he seems like a protector and she seems like a great wife and mother. Being somewhere your family is safe doesn’t only have to be in America, also they would be amazing having their own tour guide company!
Primm & Proper thank you so much. He most definitely is a protector and provider. My father definitely saw that in him and told us both that he felt that I am in good hands with him and that means the world to us both. I agree you can find your safety wherever you feel comfortable. I wish we all could rest in this type of life it takes such a load off of your shoulders and you can just be authentically you. A lot of people are asking about me doing tours I may need to look into it lol.
Shout out to TBEJ for giving them the opportunity to share their experience with the world. My wife and I are fortunate to know and have served with Wendall and Anquanette. They are a wonderful couple. Okinawa has great people, amazing culture, delicious food, beautiful beaches and landscapes, and it is also safe. A great place to raise children.
♥️ Okinawa
Jose Avellanet omg Jose thank you so much. I know you guys loved it here so much too. We miss you guys 💞.
I wonder if they’d consider adopting a 36 year old...
Shimmy Shake lol I can’t 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Worth a shot bro, worth a shot
😆
😄
Or a 40 year old lol
So good to see this beautiful couple loving on each other.
JLJ I agree! They exude such a calm, loving energy. I really enjoyed this interview. I'm so glad they found peace in their lives.
Good words loved it. Whoever is reading this and going through hard times, sorrow, loss, addictions and depression. You will raise up dont give up you can do this
Thank you for sharing your grace with us.
Thanks very much Grace. We all need the hope and encouragement.
Blessing to you too
Thanks for your compassionate words during these trying times!
I love this couple.. I am moving to the Philippines.. All this makes me feel happy..
Jose Davilafalu Philippines ain’t no japan.
Omg thank you 🤗. The Philippines is one of the other places we want to visit we have friends who live there, the husband is black and he LOVES it there. I was jealous my husband got to go he had a lot of fun even while working.
A 65 year old man was shot to death by police in the Philippines last month because he didn't have his mask (blindfold) on. They're wildin' out down there, backwards ass government. Age of consent is 12 which leads to exploited children, prevalent sex tourism, single child moms all over the place, no birth control or right to choose...women have it very rough there. It's a shame that they're always in such social and economic turmoil, it really is a beautiful place.
I tutor there. Folks from bungogo 👍 musta!
@@topo520 not the point... The point is that people like you and i are willing to move to other countries..
You bring such amazing people to us! Bless you.
Yes. This is how life should be. I am happy for the Lewises.
The little car she drove was a K11 Nissan Micra or March. Quite popular in Japan, UK and third world countries. The little SUV is a Suzuki Samurai, based on the Suzuki Jimny. Lots of offroad guys in the US would just love to get their hands on the Jimny. The car Mr Lewis owns is a R32 Nissan Skyline with the RB26TT engine.
Best Regards, Trinidad & Tobago.
They seem like the kind of people to always see the positives of every situation. And that part the wife mentioned about the sitting on the beach and watching a fisherman walk by? It was like I was there. Like I could actually taste the salt of the ocean carried by a warm breeze. Gosh darn it, I need to move!!
Domo aww I’m glad I was able to take you back to that moment with me. I hope you can get out and find your happy place.
Once again, Ranzo, keeps on knocking another one out the park not to mention really do love the fact that brothers who've served in the military have gained the experience of seeing the world abroad.
People REALLY think I'm exaggerating when I say pretty much EVERYWHERE in the world is safer than the US for black folks. Especially here in Asia. So glad seeing these stories being told to amplify our voices and get more brothers and sisters abroad. I'll never move back to the states.
But what about all racism towards black people in China?
The truth is happiness starts from within your inner self.. Not necessarily where you live or travel. It seems some black people always expect red carpet treatment going elsewhere and if they don't, it's racism. Yes, the States have that disease but you can even go to other black countries and receive the same hatred. It is nice this couple are enjoying their lives in Okinawa, but happiness starts with you and not from how others may perceive you. There will always be some form of prejudice wherever one may go.
@@JAYB1688 bingo! pple are delusional as hell
@@DailyAbroad Racism isn't real.
I always respect people who practise the "when in rome..." philosophy and also the "home is where the heart is". You two are inspiring living examples. I just googled Okinawa and had no idea how stunning it is! How is it not overrun with tourists? Anquinette should totally host a tour - you both have such calm and likeable personalities.
I agree! And it's my motto for which I completely agree. When in Rome do as the Romans do. Wouldn't haven't any other way.
Sounds peaceful. All we want is to be treated equally and not stereotyped like in America. We are peaceful people.....and want peace and positive vibes and energy
Can you elaborate on how you are not treated equally? I just want to understand.
100% true
I tell non black ppl that all the time. IT A HUMANITARIAN ISSUE--We’re not looking to dominate or take over etc.
We just want to be treated equally n normal & just feel safe living life daily. THATS ALL!
This interview fills my heart with joy! I had the opportunity to live in Okinawa for a year and it changed my whole outlook in life. I would love to go back.
We did the same thing with traveling everywhere. I was constantly leaving the base with my language book and a phone and landed up somewhere. I found so many places even some of the locals have not been to. It was so much fun! My kids still say how I can't sit still and that I always want to go anywhere.
I was born and raised in Okinawa. Unfortunately, never was stationed there. Spent most time in mainland and US. Okinawans are considered to be Centurions. Eventually, I will retire there.
Takao Gibson that’s awesome I hope you do get to retire here. We would like to at least own a home here.
@@goodjudygirlfriend Thanks for the kind words. I really miss the food, the culture, and friendly people.
Takao Gibson, I have fond memories of Okinawa and would love to return there. To retire there would be a dream.
@@Claytone-Records You bet. Follow your heart and destiny.
Anquinette really should consider starting an off the beaten path touring service, even if on a small scale.
People have to realize we live in a different world now ! Explore the world and find your happy place !
Love them and can definitely relate. July will make 2 years of me living in Vietnam. As an army brat who grew up in Germany, it was always so hard for me going back to the States. Deciding to live as an expat has been the greatest decision of my life. My only regret is when I got out of the Army myself, that I didn’t leave America right away. I stayed trying to live the American dream as a civilian. It was a waste of a few years. I don’t think I will ever permanently live in a America again, and that decision comes easy. There is nothing there for me. There are so many beautiful, safe, and more welcoming countries in this world that can also become home. Wishing this lovely couple the best.
I have asthma that's triggered by people wearing perfumes or dryer vents pumping out scented detergents. Is Vietnam's air decent? Do people wear fragrances/smoke a lot?
Wow they look like they are in their 20’s. They seem like such sweet, positive and warm people. Thanks , good interview
Living a peaceful happy stress free life makes you age better
Okinawa is like the Hawaii of Japan. Different vibe than the mainland. Beautiful scenery and everything's chilled and laid back.
This was refreshing and beautiful. I loved how excited and vibrant they were talking about their experience
Amazing story
Getting my passport updated. After the Pandemic is calmed I will explore. Thank you this so refreshing.
Worst audio quality, yet my most FAVORITE POST OF ALL TIME!
This reminded me of when I went to Ukraine, as a Jamaican and a black woman who has been to America and is on social media and see the injustice met out to people of colour, I was a bit apprehensive of acceptance...wweellll... I can tell you that my mind was blown by how friendly the people were, I was there for 3 months, was supposed to be there for 1 month, but changed my ticket to the day my visa expired.....yeah it was that good.
That's what happens when you have an open mind instead of seeing racism everywhere.
I have a friend in Okinawa. I visited and it felt like home. I was so comfortable there. I live on the mainland of Japan and it’s was great....but I have been trying to get a job and live in Okinawa. That’s how amazing the people, culture, and land is. I can totally relate.
Japan and South Korea are some of the safest places to live in the world. Countries with almost 0 Gun violence. I am considering moving to Seoul because America ain’t it.
From my perspective as a Japanese, Japan and S.Korea may seem similar at first glance, but they have a completely different national atmosphere.
I hope your adventure is filled with happiness. :)
I recommend Busan
My sister is stationed in Seoul. It’s fairly pretty but it gets really cold in the winter and outside of shopping in Meongdong and walking through some old temples I didn’t really find much else to do. Japan however I loved. I was stationed in Yokosuka which is just 30-45 minutes from Tokyo and I would recommend there over Seoul.
Welcome Back Fam! Glad you came back to make Japan your home. I hope you and your family enjoy life in Okinawa as much as we have here in the Kansai area.
Man, this was a blessing. It was as though I was seeing and feeling their experiences and it was good. Thanks so much for this.
Great interview...thanks for sharing
This dude looked like a super soldier. They gave Captain America and him the same injection.
I worked for this man in the Marines and he is one hell of a guy and he is a beast!!!
Lol we thought your comment was so funny.
Travis Trzecinski awww I will let him know about your comment, thank you 🙌🏾.
I was looking for this comment lol
Funny that you thought of Marvel. My first thought was that he needs to lead his own Stargate SG team.
I love this couple! Great interview! They seemed to be happy and relaxed. I notice by the backdrop that you were in New Orleans restaurant. Yum
I went to Japan this past Fall and fell in love. It was so wonderful and I can definitely see myself living there. I'm seriously thinking of ways to go back and live for a while.
Okinawa was on my bucket list way back in 1985. So Feb 2020 I treated myself to an amazing birthday gift for the big one. My Tokyo visit had a 3 day stopover in Okinawa. Flew YVR-HND overnight then hop-on a 9am to OKN for a very short 3 days stay. If I didn't have to see the grandbabies in Tokyo, I would have stayed longer. I understand this couple's love for this island. Ronzo man, we gotta move there!! I picked up real estate info. I returned home and started planning my retirement,. Once I have housing. the rest will be fine. As I'll be having lots of visitors. Love this Island and people.
To note, I swore it was Obama talking to. I closed my eyes and the guy's voice. WoW, sounds like Barack. Another great 👍 one.
What a magnificent couple!! It's such a blessing to see a american black couple living their life in Japan!! I went to korea in 10/2019 before this Covid-19!! I had a great time!! I'm planning my second to the East and Japan is where I'm coming not sure which part!! But this couple has given me some great intel!! I'm definitely going to keep Okinawa in mind!! For my second journey!! Congrats to this couple and may you both continue to be BLESSED!!🙏❤🙏
Very refreshing! I think as an African American, I have learned to have so much inner peace that it has helped me navigate peacefully through life, however I have heard beautiful testimonials of African Americans who have traveled outside of USA and able to, like this couple, experience outward peace, which is a higher and greater level of living, it's great seeing and hearing about the experience! Why would you want to return to USA, other than to visit? Keep enjoying the good life, that's what God intended!
Working on it... Already have my place in the Philippines.... Eventually stay there permanent
why do u think u can't create that peace in the US? blcks in the US are killing each other like crazy, areas with a large number of blcks are not peaceful and most of the crime is committed by blcks, u r responsible for the lack of peace, u need to create it yourselves
That’s the thing doesn’t matter how much inner peace you have or how peacefully you navigate through life, you always have to worry is today gonna be the day I leave my house and have to deal with a racist person or cop who harass brutalize or possibly kill me just for living and being, you can’t even just live sometimes without people wanting to bother you for any little reason in america simply cause of skin color
@@lovelydiva06 Once you stop seeing "racism" everywhere, it's amazing what possibilities open up.
This was amazing and super encouraging. We’re headed to Japan and can’t wait!!
Been in Japan for 5 years now and this is something I struggle with. I always wonder if i should go back. After all my family and friends are there, my favorite foods are there, and the salaries are higher. No language barriers is a plus. But i always have these dreams where i am back in america freaking out that i need to go back to japan. My brain wants to go back but my heart wants to stay here
follow your heart...
My son lives in kyota hes been there 10 years set up business speaks the language learnt alot while living in japan the locals are so humble and delightful and respectful so relaxed out there
When they showed their kids, I got a better grasp at their age and I'm like.... bruh... Y'ALL LOOK GOOOD!!
I love how you guys met up at cafe Orleans, their story is beautiful 😍🥺
Lovely couple. So in sync with one another. He listens while she talks. Lovely.
Okinawa it is. I’m from FL. The beach is one of the few things that keeps me here, but Okinawa beaches look pretty good to me
I'm a black woman from Detroit. I moved to Japan for a job and lived in Okinawa for 3 years. I had a great experience. Japan 🇯🇵 is an amazing country. The people are amazing. I loved it and would definitely go back.
Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. I feel the love.
Love this couple. Hubby is giving me Malcolm X vibes.
Me too.
Exactly
Had a friend in Elementary School who was from Okinawa Japan. Her name was Parc. I remember that she was tall for her age. Very nice. She use to come to my house a lot since I lived across the street from the School.
I feel the same way as your guest. I’ve told newcomers to “ get off 58,” turn down a road, any road and explore. There’s also a stretch of street that plays music. So many opportunities to just live.
I work in Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and my brother works In Hiroshima prefecture. When I visit him we go to Hiroshima City. It’s a very beautiful city with great food. Being born and living in Hawaii all my life. Beaches don’t really impress me all that much. I think I am more of a city person. I been to Tokyo and Osaka. I think those cities would be a bit too busy for me. If I had to pick a city it would be Kyoto. I get the big city life with easy access to beautiful nature in Kyoto and Nara. Osaka is close too, when I want to be in the hustle and bustle.
I'm happy that you like Okinawa. I'm from Naha and now live in U.S.
I smiled😊 the entire time I watching this videos... This is amazing thank you for sharing...
The interviewer did a great job! The couple seemed really genuine too.
Inspiring and I enjoyed listening to this beautiful couple's story. They both seem really calm and at peace.
Her smile warms my heart. You can see the peace and happiness she has beaming from the inside. Her husband seems like a stand up kinda guy
I'm happy this beautiful couple found peace in this world! I've personally got a few spots I've found traveling the world for work and recreation for my older years. Travel and explore if you get the chance.
1991... Wait this man is late 40's early 50's?!?! This couple is aging beautifully
We age so kuch better when in military. When we get out, and get into rat race then we age. Im proof.

@@user-zc8sq3wr9f so true

Wow, I love their passion, perspective and progressive behavior for adapting without fear of the unknown which is mental state of mind needed to travel and living in cultures outside of hometown, city and country of origin...I felt the enthusiasm of adventure listening to there story.
This was damn cool to watch. Visiting Japan for the first time, I felt very convicted that everyone should be granted the opportunity to go somewhere far, far away. No better way for the mind to truly gain some perspective.
I wanna move so bad! Scared 🙄 i need to live somewhere that I feel at home... Without the discomfort of prejudices 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏽♀️
I want to move somewhere too. I need to be around more emotionally healthy people. The fewer the narcissists........the better!!

I lived in Okinawa in the 1978, I fell in love with this place then and always wanted to return, thanks for reminding me.
Thank you, I am from New Zealand, this video has inspired me to visit Japan once this covid virus is under control. You are a wonderful couple, your honesty is truly inspiring.
I would love to live somewhere else. I'm not surprised about their experience. Japan is beautiful from what I'm told anyway. My daughter has a trip planned, not sure which part, to Japan once she's able to travel. Thanks for sharing this experience.
Their energy is so warm and positive. They look so happy and at peace. Not stressed out. Not afraid. Just enjoying life. To be retired military and not look a day over 35, he did it right. I'm active duty with 8 years to go. Planning to expat as soon as I retire. This channel is further enforcing my decision.
You make me wanna get to Okinawa! Nice interview!
Love this couple! Love their connection and positivity. It’s wonderful to see a couple who respect each other and you can feel it easily. Their interview makes me want to move there!! You both should consider a YT channel were you just show us the sites of Okinawa!
I was able to do an inter-company transfer in 2005 to Europe. I moved back to the USA in 2016 and after 18mths I had to move back to Europe. I have talked with other Americans that have gone through the same. When you experience a different culture it changes your mind set to what is more than likely very different to a mind set in the USA.
I like going back to the USA to visit family and friends but home for me is Europe.
They are a beautiful couple!!!!! I miss Okinawa!!!!! I was there from 2002-2003 as active duty Marine and 2007. Yes, yes and yes you have to get out and explore the island! Its peaceful and tropical. I am so happy for them 🤗💜💜💜
I'm Okinawan. Lived there off and on as a kid. My stepfather was a Marine.
@6:40 highly agree. We’ve been out here for 3 years now and Okinawa is a very awesome place to be.
My guy. Got a GT-R! Nice. I do cars too. Had a right hand drive here in the states went to Japan and drove an Evo 6 and currently have a new mustang GT and a 700hp Evo x. I cannot wait to go back and rent a R34. Videos of this stuff on my channel.
Lived here for 2 years and miss it. Can’t describe that feeling when you are driving through sugar cane and then see the ocean. Something peaceful you can’t get in the states. Okinawa is a wonderful place!
Man I miss them. Wendall was my mentor in my time in Okinawa. I can’t wait to move back. I love it out there. Hope to see you guys out there soon
you gotta hit him up on IG so you can reconnect.
goodjudy aka STEM-Chan oh yea we still stay connected. I meant in terms of being Back in japan.

I'm so glad that I got this as a recommendation. I've always wanted to live in Japan as a kid but never even visited but now this video reminded me of something I completely gave up on because I never really knew black people living in Japan. Thank you and you have a new subscriber ❤
Okinawa is a lovely place! Family and I lived there for 4 years ( 2001-2005 ) served in the U.S. Navy. Also, prior Yokota 4 years.
Inspiring interview. I will be traveling around the world shortly.
My wife Hiromi was born in Okinawa. Her father married an Okinawan woman. She was raised in South Texas & eventually moved to Hawaii where we met. I was in the Navy. I wld love 2 take Hiromi 2 Okinawa. Maybe one day!/ Anyhow...glad u're happy. You seem like a sweet couple. Take care.
😢 I want to leave this country so bad. They're so beautiful. I'm working on getting there. This country is sick.
Democrats ruined the black mon
It’s terminal now
@TheSeductiveArts Honestly, I've been so ravaged by this system that I don't know if my mental can muster the strength. I can't even get out of bed these days.
The magnitude of what's taken place hits my gut so hard; I'm overwhelmed with the awareness of the traps.
If you only knew how much as a single black woman, how much I have been STRIPPED of everything. What family didn't take, a downlow grown boy wormed into my life took. What he didn't take, a childhood friend stole. What she didn't take, a neighbor burglarized. What they didn't get a landlord stole. It goes on and on...the tangibles and intangibles. There's a universal crisis of integrity going on here. That's what the USA breeds - corruption and thievery. Individuals and institutions alike. Anyone with a hallmark of purity is at risk of being ravaged here; considered a mark. This county is the Devil's den.
I'm so tired. My passport, college degree certificates, my reputation (they lie, attack your character, and become allies to split the spoils amongst them), and my peace has literally been stolen.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick. All that effort, focus, study, working, and planning has left me unable to fend off the wolves.
I'm roadkill at this point. I want to pick up and try again but my heart; it's tired.
But I pray and I share; be careful who you let in your mind, heart, in your home. Grace is the only hope and even then your lot in life may be to know the Devil lives amongst you.
If your family, friends, spouse, community, city, state, and country belong to darkness, your light is a battle cry. Be careful. Walk alone, before you're swallowed whole.
That's what I have to share at this point.
May God be with you and Jesus within. This is my solace and what's left of me to offer.
Get out of the USA! Don't wait. There's nothing here worth salvaging. It's evil. Just go. Get your education, relationships, and personal development elsewhere and build there. Anywhere! But leave while you can and don't look back.
This country and Seattle in particular is today's Babylon. All the corrupted, sexually deviant, racists, and materialists hunt the decent here. It's such a wicked trap place, this country. Evil.
I'm not crazy. I'm sharing my truth. I don't indulge in alcohol, drugs, or self pity.
I'm a spiritual, educated, and kind person.
I'm moved to tell anyone who's willing to read this - lest you wind up like me. Stuck, ravaged, and broken.
The writing is on the wall. The Devil built this lie of a country.
