My Life Between Two Cultures | Retirement Journey in Japan

In this video, I share about life between two cultures as I tried my small but meaningful step I took outside my comfort zone. I visited the Philippines Store near our city to meet fellow Filipinos and bring some of the vegetables we harvested from our garden. It felt good to connect with kababayans and share a little piece of home. I also talk about the cultural differences between the Philippines and Japan, not to criticize either culture, but simply to reflect on how each place has shaped my life. These quiet moments of comparison help me appreciate both countries in different ways. You’ll also see clips from our garden, including the joyful moments when my grandchildren helped harvest vegetables. These simple routines remind me of the life I came from in the Philippines, and the peaceful life I’m building here in Japan. Thank you for watching and spending time with me today. May this video bring you calm, connection, and a sense of home wherever you are. #retirement #ofwjapan
