Listen in Japanese - culture shocks in Singapore/ international marriage

[@jenjen59]

Hello Little Merlion...absolutely love this interview and i thought your husband shared very good insights into what Singapore was like 30 years ago..i found myself nodding my head and chuckling! He is very good (felt potentially he had lots to say !) and would love to see him sharing more of his thoughts about Singapore and Japan...can't wait!😊

Thanks for watching 😍 I had to stop him from saying too much 🤣

初めてコメントします。 旦那さんと話す時の関西アクセントに親しみを感じます。 今年の8月に33年振りにシンガポールに行ってきましたが、すっかり変わっていました。 シンガポールが好きなのでいつも楽しみにしてます。 また旦那さんの登場を楽しみにしてます。

温かいコメントをありがとうございます。私の日本語はまだ下手ですが、頑張ります。30年ぶりにシンガポールへ行かれたんですね。楽しい時間を過ごせたといいですね。また夫にもビデオに参加してもらいます。応援よろしくお願いします🙇🏻

Well, thank you for introducing and including your very sweet husband: this was an interesting and fun way of highlighting and contrasting cultures: looking forward to hearing more of both your life experiences ❤

80년대 일본에 유학했는데 도쿄 고마바에 싱가포르 유학생들과 같이 살았어요. 중국에서 온 유학생들과 중국어로 대화하는게 신기했어요.😊

Thank you for commenting. It is nice to communicate in different languages with different races😍

Like your husband, I am usually a little 潔癖症, but in 2000’s, I had no problem eating at hawkers. And unlike typical Japanese, I talked laud and said things straight when I needed I’m not married to Singaporean, but love Singapore 🇸🇬 Oh, but I’d like to share one of my culture shock experiences in Singapore. For me, it was so strange to see young local couples on Valentine’s Day, because every single girl was holding an arranged flower in her hands like showing off that her boyfriend was sweet enough to give it to her. Does this custom still exist?

旦那さんが日本の方で奥様がシンガポールの人だったのですね、最初の印象では旦那様がなんか中国人に見えました。そして奥様が日本人に、長く住んでいると御互いに国籍など関係なくなって夫婦は似て来るのですね。ちなみにうちの嫁はラオス華僑ですが、わたしは中国人に間違われます。ちなみに結婚して30年です。シンガポールは福建人が多いのですか？ちなみにうちは客家です。

お話をシェアしていただきありがとうございます。シンガポールでは福建の方が多いのですが、最近のシンガポールの若者はお互いにコミュニケーションをとるのに方言をほとんど使いません。少し悲しいですね。
