The Joys and Struggles of a Multicultural Marriage
from Portraits of Life in Japan · host Monclou Karoline
My husband was born and raised in Japan. Meanwhile, I was born and raised in a country in South America called Colombia. Not only are our cultures different, but so is our perspective of the world. We met in Bogota, the capital of Colombia, in 2019, when he was working there as an elementary school teacher. I was a college student in love with Japanese culture, and he was a foreigner in love with Latin American culture. Eventually, we got married, and I moved to Japan to start a new life together. Being married is already a lot of work; now imagine marrying someone from a completely different culture. Today, I am going to share with you the joys and struggles of a multicultural marriage.
