Soon we will be visiting my future mother-in-law. This will actually be the very first time that I have ever met my fiance's mother in all the years that we have been together. This is despite her having met my mother a few times already, and she was able to meet my father when she visited me in Australia shortly before moved to Japan to work.
I won't go into the details, but distance and schedule were two of the reasons that I have not met her until now. She seemed shy about the idea of video calling in the past, so I have never had a video call with her either. However, I did have the chance to speak with her briefly on the phone, and she gave off a good first impression. Also due to her background, she has given advice for medical related matters, especially with my brief period in the hospital earlier this year.
Furthermore, while my work has taken me across many parts of Japan, this will be the first time to travel to Kagawa. From what my fiance has told me, her hometown is pretty rural, and while there are buses and trains, a car is recommended to get around quickly. I have also been told that udon is a local specialty, and compared to other areas in the Japan, udon in Kagawa is pretty damn cheap. I am still having a look in to Kagawa prefecture and what there is to do there, so I would like to a do little bit of sightseeing as well if there is time for it.
