In this episode, Robert Norris gives us so many insights into life as an expat, life in Japan – from the day-to-day to the bureaucracy involved in moving there – so much great information and much of it accompanied by interesting anecdotes.
Today he explains:
- his early envy of those who spoke more than one language
- a six-mat room and a three-mat room
- local public baths
- living his dream
- why you should immerse yourself instead of speed-visiting
- Kanji lettering and the Japanese language
- tidbits of cultural history and current changes
- earthquakes
I enjoyed the moment when Bob was telling us about earthquakes and had the Japanese word but had to think about the English word! That's immersion!
Listen to my previous chat with Bob where he talks about his amazing Mom, his life as a conscientious objector, his travels and, finally, finding "home" in Japan: https://boomwithabang.com/the-boomer-womans-podcast-robert-w-norris/
