We're coming up on the holidays, and we'll be spending ours in France this year!

We're back in London, back to the grind. We reflect on our two weeks in France -- the realities of taking time off work, differences we've noticed in French vs. British people, how French 'heroes' are perceived differently abroad, and our thoughts on moving to France. #AskJoanna: If YOU have any questions about being in a mixed-race, culture, or diet relationship, or about living abroad, please leave me a DM on Instagram.

We're in PARIS! We talk about our last few days in the French countryside, adjusting to the city, how I got pooped on, the vegan scene in Paris, as well as the city's very apparent pee problem. #AskJoanna: If YOU have any questions about being in a mixed-race, culture, or diet relationship, or about living abroad, please leave me a DM on Instagram.

We're LIVE from Aveyron, France! We are in France for a couple of weeks-- it's my first time meeting Joseph's family so we discuss the highs and lows of that, dealing with being vegan in a very meat-heavy household, and also give some updates on our wedding planning. #AskJoanna: If YOU have any questions about being in a mixed-race, culture, or diet relationship, or about living abroad, please leave me a DM on Instagram.

It's a mess over in Tokyo-- more Olympics controversy over composer Keigo Oyamada's bullying past, last-minute cancellation talks, sponsorships falling through... The UK isn't doing much better. 'Freedom Day' drew hundreds of people to the club, hundreds of thousands of people (including us) are getting 'pinged' by the NHS to self-isolate, and we most likely will not be able to travel to the U.S. in August as we planned. #AskJoanna: If YOU have any questions about being in a mixed-race, culture, or diet relationship, or about living abroad, please leave me a DM on Instagram.

Happy July!

It's been one year since George Floyd's death. We talk about what has changed in the past year, and what we think is to come. We then share an update on Joseph's 6:30 AM workout challenge (spoiler alert: it's not going well). We also take a trip down "food memory" lane, where we recall meals/food that signify different stages of our lives. #AskJoanna: If YOU have any questions about being in a mixed-race, culture, or diet relationship, or about living abroad, please leave me a DM on Instagram.

We start the episode by talking about our one-week challenge. In order to kick-start healthier habits for Joseph, we are waking up at 6:30 AM every day this week to work out. This leads into a discussion about purpose, and whether one's sense of purpose/passion changes over time. Given all the protests and demonstrations going on around the world for various issues, we also discuss the purpose of protests, and if they are worth engaging in. Joseph shares a French idiom about swollen ankles. #AskJoanna: If YOU have any questions about being in a mixed-race, culture, or diet relationship, or about living abroad, please leave me a DM on Instagram.

Spring is slooowly springing in the UK, finally! We start the episode by talking about sex education in Japan, and my different experiences getting the birth control pill in Japan vs the UK. We then dive into some of the things we didn't know about until moving here-- types of food, grammar rules, and everyday items. I'm curious, how many of these did you already know about? #AskJoanna: If YOU have any questions about being in a mixed-race, culture, or diet relationship, or about living abroad, please leave me a DM on Instagram.
