EP 78 - DATING IN THE ERA OF JAPA

On this episode, Zizi talks on love… but make it international shipping.Welcome to dating in the era of Japa — where “goodnight babe” is followed by “have a great day” because somebody is six hours ahead and fighting for their life with time zones. One minute you’re doing movie nights at the cinema, the next minute you’re doing movie nights on FaceTime saying, “Can you hear me now?” every five minutes.These days, relationships don’t just need love and trust; they need strong WiFi, embassy updates, and a shared Google Calendar. Somebody is always calculating exchange rates, visa timelines, and whose turn it is to relocate. And let’s not even start with the soft launch of “I might be moving next year” that turns into “I got approved” in two weeks.Can love really survive distance? Are we dating for connection or are we low-key checking passport compatibility? Is long-distance romantic… or just prolonged heartbreak with flight tickets?We’re keeping it honest, lighthearted, and a little too relatable. If you’ve ever fallen in love with someone whose location suddenly changed to “Abroad,” or you’re currently refreshing embassy emails while typing “I miss you,” this episode is for you.Press play and let’s talk love, distance, relocation, and the emotional damage of international relationships.
