When: March 13th, 2020 @ 3:00am CST
Where: Okayama, Japan
Who: Mari Ishii
It is now 3:00am, and we just started a tour with Japan!
We talked to Mari about the culture in Japan and how it's different from American culture. For a little bit, we talked about the different cafes and what they're like. The cakes/sweets there don't have a lot of bright coloring, and they're not really big on sugar. She spoke a little about earthquakes and her experience with one in her life and tsunamis. She started talking about how they only use cash, not Apple Pay there, but if they use Apple Pay, it's very rare in their country. Their traditional food is fish based, because they live on an island, but they have all kinds of food. She talked about the beaches in Japan and how they are not hot spots for tourists. Next, we talked about the different types of transportation, how fast the bullet trains can go, and how the architecture there is very small and compacted. They are in the spring season right now, and they are 14 hours ahead of us. Then she talked about the music they have, and how they have J-Pop, which is Japanese-Pop (like K-Pop). We spoke about the crime rates and different laws our countries have. Mari asked us a question about the World Tour and how long we were doing it. Then, sadly we had to say goodbye.
