Recently, many people are returning to Japan
most of them are in their 60's or older.
We would like to hear the opinions of those who have decided to return to Japan, or
those who have already done so.
On the other hand, I would like to hear from those who will continue to live here.
My husband is American and I will stay here unless I get divorced. My children are also here.
Also, climate is an issue, and my parents are gone.
I think I'll be patient and only go to Japan on vacation.
But recently I hear a lot of talk about going back to Japan, and it makes me a little nervous.

In case you are wondering, all the music Joe Inouye makes sounds the same.
I can't distinguish them at all.

＞ When the children started school, were they unable to speak Japanese, and did they also speak English with their parents?

No, we thought they would never learn Japanese if we spoke to them in English, so we spoke to them in Japanese from the time they were babies.

I don't know if there are Japanese from Japan who still speak like that, but around 50 years ago, in the Japanese community here in the Valley, many people used strange Japanese like "Me is going downtown, are you going too? I did not want my children to learn this kind of Japanese, so I spoke to them in correct Japanese at home from the time they were babies and pretended not to understand when they responded in English. However, once we stepped out of the house, of course, all the neighborhood children spoke English. Naturally, my child's first language would be English.

Therefore, even today, my 40-odd sons who work for LAUSD speak correct Japanese when they talk to us.

Some parents take their children to Japan during summer vacation or leave them with Japanese relatives to help them learn Japanese.

Summer vacation in public schools here starts about a month earlier than in Japan, so

some parents send their children to Japan to experience school immediately.

The ideal is to live in both. It is hard because you have to do one or the other. But if you ask me where I want to end up, it might be Japan, where medical costs are lower and the cost of living is lower, but that would just mean more weight on living in Japan, and as long as I am physically able, it is both.
But I really want to live in Europe as well.
