LWIF X EP15: How I Cheat at Living in Japan

A lot of people ask how I live in Japan, and the best answer that I could come up with is that I cheat. One area where it was really easy for me was with my Visa, and later on, permanent residency. Because my wife is Japanese and we’ve been married a while, the applications were relative fast and easy. It was a hassle to get some of the documents, but we didn’t run into any major issues through the whole process. Really what the whole video was about, was that I feel quite lucky to have all the opportunities that I have, and the people in my life that I do. I realize that not everyone has what I enjoy. So I feel like I’m cheating at this whole living in Japan thing.

    Does being part Chinese, i.e. part Asian, help you at all living in Japan? Are you just considered Western? (I loved this video. And your family warms my heart!)
