Back to Real Life in Japan at 50: My First Week Home

Back to real life in Japan at 50 after my trip to Australia. This week I’m settling back into daily life in Japan — unpacking, cleaning the house, going back to work, returning to the gym, cooking at home and getting my routines back on track. There’s also a new arrival for Millie, a little Daiso find I wasn’t expecting, and plenty of very ordinary life in between. After being away, I’ve realised how much getting back into a simple routine helps me feel grounded again. Life in Japan isn’t always exciting or glamorous — sometimes it’s errands, cleaning, rainy days and figuring out what’s for dinner — but I’m learning to appreciate those ordinary days more and more. If you’re interested in living in Japan, life after 50, slow living, starting over in midlife and creating a simpler life, I hope you’ll stick around and join me. Thanks so much for watching. ❤️ Chani 0:00 Returning to the Rhythm of Life 3:06 A High-Tech Upgrade for Millie 6:27 Getting Back on Track at the Gym 8:58 Meal Prepping for a Busy Week 12:52 A Surprising Discovery in the Bathroom #LifeInJapan #LivingInJapan #LifeAfter50 🌿 Useful Links 🧡 Postcard Club – I will send you postcards from Japan http://ko-fi.com/chanijapan/tiers 👕 Chani Japan Merch https://chanijapan.store 📚 Beginner Japanese for Real Life in Japan🇯🇵 https://www.chanijapan.com/ ☕ Support the channel https://ko-fi.com/chanijapan If you are new to the channel, my name is Chani and I am a middle aged Australian who was stuck in a rut and moved to Japan to live.
