first appearance on Japanese variety TV - 「世界の日本人妻は見た」

Last week, I had one of the most amazing job opportunities - I was asked to be on a popular Japanese variety TV show on TBS called 「世界の日本人妻は見た」("Sekaino Nihonjinzuma wa Mita"). Every week, ladies of different ethnicities living in Japan are invited to share their experiences from their home country as the entire cast watch clips of the latest trends and other interesting tidbits from those countries. 

昨夜、TBSの「世界の日本人妻は見た」というバラエティー番組に初出演しました！

The episode that I was in aired last night, and it was a 2 hour special about Jakarta and Los Angeles. Because I grew up in the LA/ OC area, I was lucky enough to be on the show. Some of the LA trends that were introduced: healthy/ detox drinks, popular brunch dishes, DIY, and pets. The show was actually filmed about a week ago, but I didn't get to see myself on screen until the actual airing last night, so I was a bit nervous how I would appear on TV >< I was on national Japanese TV for a few short minutes (to introduce one of my favorite dogs, Boo!), but I am so thankful for this opportunity, and also for my family, friends, coworkers, and others who have told me they watched me on TV! Thank you so, so much!!!

夢のような経験をさせていただきました。素敵な出演者とスタッフの方とお仕事ができて、本当に光栄です。感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです！見てくださった皆さん、ありがとうございました！！

Love,
