Culture, food and Pokémon

1:19

eccentric,

1:19

just the culture, like how they bow and

1:21

stuff.

1:21

I love Japanese food, so there's that.

1:25

and uh one of the greatest creations in

1:27

the world, Pokémon. So that's uh one of

1:30

my biggest hobbies of all time without

1:32

sounding too much like I have no one in

1:34

my life. Uh

1:37

the idea of the language, at least from

1:40

what I understand, is it's it's not

1:42

based on what you're saying, it's the

1:43

way you're saying it.

1:45

Tea ceremonies is the first thing that

1:46

springs to mind. And when I think of

1:49

Japanese culture and Japanese people, I

1:51

think I think of everything being done

1:53

very um gracefully and very articulately

1:56

and deliberately. I love their

1:58

calligraphy and their artistic style. I

2:00

think of them as very elegant and sort

2:03

of um fine finely tuned people if that

2:06

makes sense. That yeah, that's what I

2:08

immediately think of.

2:09

People say that the Japanese are very

2:11

hard workers.

2:12

Yes.

2:14

Okay. Do they work hard or are they

2:16

forced to work hard?

2:18

Vast difference. If your boss is in the

2:21

office, no staff member would leave

2:23

until the boss leaves.

2:25

Wow.

2:26

So, if the boss is doing 12 hours,

2:28

expect to do 12 hours.

2:30

The Japanese people that I've met have

2:32

been very kind and sort of welcoming,

2:36

very respectful.
