Comments on: episode #6 BANKING http://www.joshinjapan.com/2005/08/06/episode-6-banking/ from the simple mind of a lost foreigner Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:19:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Dhavid http://www.joshinjapan.com/2005/08/06/episode-6-banking/#comment-42 Dhavid Thu, 11 Aug 2005 13:51:52 +0000 http://www.joshinjapan.com/2005/08/06/episode-6-banking/#comment-42 Hey Josh, Just wanted to say that your podcasts are hilarious and informative actually. Two things for you. 1. Being an American in Japan and having a Japanese wife, Navy allowing, would you want to move back to the States to raise your kids there or are you okay with your kids growing up there? 2. Can you have an episode about all the different kinds of vending machines they have in Japan? I'm supposed to go there next year sometime and everywhere I've read about the vending machines it sounds pretty amusing about the stuff they sell. Best to you and yours, ~dhavid Hey Josh,

So keep up the good work! It's a shame that you're getting lousy feedback about your little advert, we liked it, but I guess one man's lameness is another's ironic cheesyness...:-D As a suggestion for a future topic, how about Japanese TV? There must be more to it than anime and Takeshi's Castle. Enlighten us! Ez, Mike and Ernie Dear Josh,

Sun, 07 Aug 2005 07:57:04 +0000 http://www.joshinjapan.com/2005/08/06/episode-6-banking/#comment-38 Mr.Josh!~ Always enjoy the podcast, i believe this is what podcasting is about. Getting an idea, a perspective, and a way of life on anything. But coming back on what you do, I was wondering if you could focus an episode on crime and punishment. If you can give a perpective on crime and whether its over whelming or common place. Also the punishment that goes along with it, like hows the penal code for gaijin and your little perspective on it. As for the advert that was tested, i think it sucked!(T_T dont *cry*) the british thing was kinda lame since it sounded like some kind of CNN.com commercial(sorry i watch alot of CNN international and it kinda gets in my head.) Well keep up the good work and i hope that the show keeps growing. ps-i think you should have a catch phrase like, Josh~in~Japan: Ii nioi!(lol) Mr.Josh!~

I've traveled quite a bit in Asia, and can relate to your experiences and humor! Your food podcast brought to mind an experience I had. After consumping a dinner at one of the local restaurants, my associate told me I had eaten LOCUSTS!!!! As the meal was surging up my throat, he corrected his English, and explained it was LOTUS!! LOTUS LEAVES. Whew...a narrow escape...You do a great job, and I enjoy your podcasts very much! Hey, Josh~
