The Culture shock!!!

I knew from the beginning that Japan was going to be a change, not only in language but in other aspects to such as Culture. When we first got here we went to the Zoo, of course i wore jeans a t-shirt and my BOOTS!!! as we were walking around i noticed right off the bat that things were different. Usually people wear something comfy to walk around in. WRONG!!! i was shocked and amazed by what i was seeing. The women were wearing dress clothes such as... Dress, skirt, shorts with tights underneath ect. Not only that but they were wearing heels not the little heels that are about a inch or so they were the all out 7 or 8 inch heels. The fashion here is crazy. It is weird to me but amazing to the Japanese! I thought maybe it was just that day, but we have been here for almost 2 years and i have seen no change. I give props to the Japanese women that can get up everyday put on makeup do there hair and wear heels everyday. I am from TEXAS i am use to throwing my hair up in a bun wearing jeans and t-shirts and no make up. I feel under dressed even when i go to the grocery store. I have heard several women say "my husband wont allow me to go out of the house without looking nice" i say to myself man if these people went to Texas they would hate it hahha. My husband could care less if i wore sweat pants and a hoodie no makeup and hair in a bun because that is what we are use to but never since i have been here have i seen a Japanese women dress even in a t-shirt. But anywho i am just rambling i wanted to give YALL a inside view on Japan :)

My Life at the Moment

I am still living in Japan at the moment. I am not going to lie and say i love it here it is actually the opposite. The drama here comes mostly form grown women that have nothing better to do. The only thing that keeps me going is my Family. We just found out that my hubs will be here for my daughters first Birthday and mine :) He just mad SRA senior airman which is great for him and our family. He has done many things to make me proud. I miss my family and friends back home you truely do find out who your real friends are and i guess being in a different country has tested some friendships... some have failed and i wish it was different but i guess some people can't stand that i can't call 24/7!  It is crazy how many of my friends are pregnant or married. Everyday i think about the good times i use to have. Being here i can not be myself anything i do goes towards my husband. Say if i were to get in a wreck it would not go against me it would go against him. The Island here is so small that everyone knows everyone. i know i am just rambling but i would love to hear from all of my friends. If you want to ask me questions i would love to answer them i want to make a post of all the questions i have been asked and i will answer.

Love all of you guys
