Welcome to my Channel about my life in Japan! I'm newly married, newly moved to Osaka from Kyushu, and not-so-newly back on YouTube! Come follow my life of adventures learning to navigate my new surroundings and bicultural marriage! My Husband, Colonel Munch and pet axolotl, Munch are along for the ride too! Come dream with us!

    Very true hahaha, I’m from the Philippines but our birthdays celebration in my country is almost similar with what you said how u celebrate ur bday in America😄 here in japan it’s just a normal day, so sad.

    It's funny because my family does the same thing for birthdays. I didn't start making wishes until I started celebrating my birthday with my fiances family. (28 years old) it was never anything extravagant just a cake, some candles, no wishes. We got to pick what my dad or mom would make for dinner and we would only get one gift. My mom was a dairy farmer and my father is from Canada.
