Leaving for America | Life in Japan Episode 119

[@tasogare1026]

みんなが日本にいないのはめっちゃ寂しいけど、アメリカに帰国できたのはよかったね。次のアメリカ満載の動画を楽しみにしてます！

[@ながしままさくに]

アメリカ一時帰国子供さんたち嬉しいでしょうね。アナ、ベッカ、サラちゃんたち、夏休み宿題全部終わらせるなんてすごい。ライターさん、ルースさん、準備、PCR検査などたいへんでしたね。良い旅行をお過ごしください。

[@金子清-w3u]

久々の故郷アメリカ、４姉弟さんお爺ちゃん、お婆ちゃん、叔母さんにいっぱい甘えて、いっぱい楽しんで来てください。来週のビデオ楽しみです。

[@ESales0314]

As someone who spent half her life living abroad I know the feeling of excitement of coming to your own country. The way you can’t sleep before the long flight. Can’t wait to feel belongingness bc you dont look like a foreigner and that you belong there even though it seems like another world to you. You blend in. Childhood memories come back thru different sights, smells and even sounds.

[@LIJ]

You put it so well! That's exactly right!

[@giovannisamayoa5572]

Love this family, so loving parents to all the kids and lift them up.

[@ゆうちむ-q7y]

久しぶりの故郷、家族や仲間との再会ですね！ ごゆっくりと楽しんでください！

[@onabe7004]

5:19 I love Josha’s face when he gets a present 😆🥰

[@nancypaquet2403]

So happy that the children can visit their homeland and family, despite all the bad things occuring here now. Concentrate on the good. Blessings to all of you.🙏🏻

[@LIJ]

Thanks!

[@erika6775]

Nowadays traveling with tons of documents is quite a headache but I’m glad you made it back home. Can’t wait for the next video! 夏休みの宿題がんばってね！

[@Pakalani03]

Have a wonderful holiday. You, Ruth and the children will probably be so popular with your family and friends. Hope that you make each day count. Health and love to you all.

[@safari0317]

Hi everyone, hope you had a good flight home. The world is slowly starting to open up to travelers, however there is still confusion regarding regulations. So i will leave any travelling till next year. Hope everyone has such a happy time during your home vacation, looking forward to the next video kind regards.

[@LIJ]

Thank you!!

[@千葉良樹]

いってらっしゃ～い✋ 無事をいのる🙏

[@mrsTraveller64]

So nice, I'm waiting to see how the kids will like to be in America, I guess they think of Japan as their home-country? When was the last time they were in America? Enjoy your stay there! Love from Finland!

[@LIJ]

Yes- they feel more at home in Japan than America, but everyone here speaks English, which they also like.

[@vshekar]

Great editing. Makes it very watchable.

[@shr9256]

いってらしゃ〜い🤗♪ アメリカ🇺🇸で楽しんでくださいね♪ 良かったですね♪ 次のアメリカの暮らし楽しみに待ってます♪☺️

Have a safe and fun time here in America! I bet it must be a huge culture shock for your kids here but I bet it must be great for them to see there grandparents and family. Have a great time guys. :)

[@やたからす-q4m]

おばあちゃん登場‼️ 来週が待ち遠しいです

[@gq2789]

[@Lily-oi3qz]

Love your family so much!!!!

[@smile-xu4mp]

Have a good trip♡

[@celinaduguay6484]

Have an awesome trip/vacation in America! The last time I visited America was in the summer of 2016 (I only went there a couple of times to go to a restaurant in Marine City and to Kmart)

[@LIJ]

We also like to shot and eat while here! You will enjoy the next number of episodes!

[@celinaduguay6484]

[@井上修-h8w]

あ～、みんな陰性で良かった。帰国を楽しんでね😃

[@tsps621]

You showed what snacks you bring with you to the US. You’ll have to show what you bring back to Japan with you.

[@LIJ]

Hey Tanya!! So far a lot of clothes! Ha ha!

[@よんこまランド]

ふりかけ アメリカでは何にかけるのかしら？

[@HiroyukiK]

I was expecting that the meal before leaving Japan is すし！ lol have a great time in US!

[@jirojapandaily6751]

What’s a cool video I’m learning English in Japan And I want to share Japanese life too I learned a lot from you

[@GOMBE3]

Wish you all the people of the Reutter family a good and superb summer vacation! I was just thinking if all the children put Shukudai or homework assignment for the vacation period into the bag. Is this the first time for Sarah chan and Joshua kun to go to America, I wonder.

[@GOMBE3]

Oh yes, they have already finished the homework before leaving Japan that's wondeful.

[@LIJ]

The last time we visited America as a family was three years ago, so Joshua and Sarah were still very young!

[@ajplays3679]

You guys have a pretty interesting life

[@bayroncastillo7653]

hey greetings ! i love families like you amazing ! keep it up !

[@LIJ]

Thanks!

[@ronaldparry6147]

Wondering if you all had a little reverse culture shock? I lived in Germany and when I came back to the UK I found myself looking the wrong way crossing the street and sometimes replying in German haha!

[@LIJ]

Ha ha! There is certainly a lot of reverse culture shock!

[@G-y_m]

Give you a lot of credit during international at this time. I have postponed all mine for over a year and a half. Still waiting until covid is better controlled. Travel safe. Hope you and your family have a great time.

[@raguchan43]

次の動画が楽しみ(*ˊᵕˋ*)੭ ੈ❤︎

[@diving58]

一時帰国なんだね、別の土地への赴任だと思ってましたよ ではアメリカ生活を満喫して楽しんできて下さいね やはり母国が一番でしょうからね

[@Kaspleen]

Certainly the best adaptation of pride and prejudice! 😁

[@LIJ]

Ruth would agree!

[@KittieGeorge]

If you go to the US from now, your kids won't be able to make the beginning of fall semester by both country's quarantine period, will they?

[@LIJ]

They will miss the first week of school or so because of quarantine, that's correct.

[@MxMoondoggie]

It's like everyone knew that good sushi is hard to find outside of Japan so they went for one last sushi meal before going back to American food. It's been a while so I wonder how much of a culture shock going back will be, it's where they're from but they are also growing up in a very different world in Japan. It's a big enough culture shock moving during university and going back to where I'm from, I always wondered what it's like as a kid from America who is growing up in Japan going back after living in Japan a long time. I guess you're around other expat friends so it's probably not as big a deal as I'm imagining but at school around friends they probably act quite different to how people do in America.

[@LIJ]

How was culture shock for you?

[@Sita_Schioetz]

They're not moving

[@Mwoods2272]

@@Sita_Schioetz You get culture shock even just visiting. When I visited the US from Japan to visit family, as soon as I landed. I noticed how loud and rude people in the US are.

[@SooKyung05estelle05sookyungx]

Have a good trip ! How long is your vacation in United States ? After USA, will you be back in Japan ? 😁

[@LIJ]

Of course- it's just for the summer (August)

[@katsumimaruyama2002]

It's the long-awaited return to the United States of the REUTTER-family. It's been a while since the children have been there, so I'm overjoyed. Was the pre-PCR of COVID-19 and the immigration at the airport difficult? Take a break and enjoy your vacation in the United States.

[@julianoenomoto4829]

Olá Família abençoada, Fiquei curioso e o seu carro ficou onde?

[@LIJ]

No estacionamento pra pessoas viajando.

[@giuliia_4]

I make the test (for work) and...I don't like me too 😅🙈. In Japan, take a lot homework for the summer? 🤔 How many times your family don't return in America? Good trip! 👋🏻

[@LIJ]

Thanks - it's been 3 years since we've been back in America as a family

[@Mwoods2272]

I heard those PCR tests were expensive. Looks like the flight was pretty crowded considering it's Covid times.

[@LIJ]

The flight was amazingly full!

[@karenvincent5202]

Was it Joshua's birthday while on the trip? Was that why he got a gift when the girls did not? Did they allow you to take off your masks on the plane? I am desperate to travel to the UK but their regulations are really stiff. Hope you had a great trip!

[@LIJ]

Joshua got a present for doing the PCR test (his was much worse than the others). And no, we wore masks the whole time we were on the plane (and in the airports as well) until we finally left.

[@braveboldmotherhood]

My worship pastor husband has to know the song list for your video....particularly that jazz song. 😅🥰

[@LIJ]

Cool! There's a couple of jazzy songs in here, but I put them together from different riffs and instruments in my music program, Logic Pro.

[@braveboldmotherhood]

@@LIJ Awesome! Fantastic job! We're a big little seminary family with seven kiddos 8 and under. Even though we are living life on mission here in the states for now, we are thankful for families like you all spreading the Gospel to the nations! We love watching your family and are praying for you all! 🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@elisabethreiter2707]

Wow again an amazing video :D As you are very experienced travelers, I would love some video about tips and tricks to traveling (e.g. budget, cheap flights,...) I just feel like you have many stories to tell ^-^

[@LIJ]

That is Ruth's department, and she's great at it. She does a LOT of researching on Kayak, Expedia, etc. to find the best routes/deals. And we go for routes that will be easiest to travel with a family. A lot of factors go into it!

[@SandeepSingh-tc3ey]

Hey Life in Japan!! Always watching you guys. Can you share the place you went for Covid PCR test before flying in Shinjuku? Thanks

[@LIJ]

I believe it was Team Medical Clinic

[@SandeepSingh-tc3ey]

Thank you very much ❤️

[@cscapecreative17]

I am glad you guys made it safe back home. It is a little more nervous time for all international travelers with some extra requirements to follow - since every country has a unique covid measure now. My Kids left for their two-month long Japan stay back in June and are returning back tomorrow. Before they left the US, besides PCR testing, we found they wouldn't be able to enter Japan with their US passports and their Japanese passports were expired. They needed to rush to apply for a temporary passport at the consulate a few days before their flight. That was a huge hustle. >< Have a wonderful time with your family and friends!! =)

[@ruthreutter8355]

I was wondering where you got their PCR tests? I’m nervous about getting the correct test on the MOFA form.

[@cscapecreative17]

​@@ruthreutter8355 We downloaded and brought the blank copies to the testing site and handed in. We picked up the signed copies along with their negative test results on the next day. I believe most locations fill out the form for you, but you may want to check with your site prior to making your appointment. Good Luck!!

[@孝たかし]

next harryup！！！

[@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard]

"do I have covid?" and than she went to school before ... omg that would've been os bad for her classmates if she had it o.o

[@LIJ]

Trust me, if we thought she had COVID, she wouldn't be going to school and she wouldn't have gotten a test to see if we could fly!

[@texasbilly]

Nothing is better than the country in which you were born and raised. A truly great country, America. Grandpa and grandmother are really happy too. God bless the great country of America. God bless Brazil. God bless the writer family.　 ❤️ 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇧🇷 ❤️

[@MurphyColeman]

So sorry to ask you what has nothing to do with this topic, but where has the vending machine that used to be in front of your house gone? 😲I have just noticed that!!

[@LIJ]

Oh, it's been gone for years!! The owner of the house took it out a while ago to make space for more bicycles.
