Man I love your post.
I love Japan and Japanese.
The culture, intellect, work ethic, and all around appreciation of hard work makes Japan probably one of the top nations in the world.
East Asian businessmen are the absolute best IMHO.
They come across as pushy - but they make things happen. I just wish Japanese had more babies :)
Glad you liked the post, Roman!
Twice a week, I’m enjoying some great friendships playing pickleball in the city I live in a couple hours north of Tokyo.
The players love to compete, but also easily laugh at themselves when they make stupid mistakes on the court. Great way to spark communication when you’re just a beginner in Japanese conversation.
