hypocritical news! Japan is refusing to cancel the olympics - especially with a another state of emergency starting in a week whilst England is actually doing well. Sort yourself out Japan.

Today I had a magical interaction, on a train heading to shibuya.

I was sat on the train, when a mother and young daughter in a stroller boarded and sat directly opposite me.

As someone who is fluent in British Sign language I'm accustomed to noticing hearing aids and instinctively I wanted to sign. But Japanese sign language is different. So I googled hello and came across this video:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WGeeszzY9g0

The child's face lit up and instantly started to sign to me, I have been frantically googling JSL sign words to try and have a conversation for 20 mins.

After all that. The mother spoke English haha. But she thanked me and I realised in that moment:

If we just take care to try and understand the other person we can create such an amazing world. All races, languages and creeds.

Todays challenge: learn to say hello, please and thank you in another language.

今日、私は不思議な交流をしました。

私が電車に乗っていると、ベビーカーに乗った母と幼い娘が乗り込んできて、私の真向かいに座りました。

イギリスの手話に精通している私は、補聴器に気づくことに慣れているので、直感的に手話をしたくなりました。しかし、日本の手話は違います。そこで、「こんにちは」でググってみると、このビデオに出会いました。

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WGeeszzY9g0

その子の顔が輝き、すぐに私に手話を始めました。私は20分ほど会話をしようと必死に日本手話をググっていました。

その結果 母親は英語を話していましたが・・・。しかし、彼女は私に感謝し、私はその瞬間に気づきました。

もし私たちが相手を理解しようと気をつけるだけで、こんなに素晴らしい世界を作ることができるのです。すべての人種、言語、信条。

今日の課題：他の言語でハロー、プリーズ、サンキューを言えるようになる。

Cherry blossoms are not native to japan and they actually grow all over the world.

In many parks and public places in Japan however they plant these trees specifically because they have a whole culture surrounding it. They celebrate the beauty and fleeting life of cherry blossoms with a festival called hanami (花見) which translates basically as "flower watching".

There is also however another more secret one that predates hanami and that's called umemi (梅見) or plum watching. It's usually less crowded and less popular with young people so the older people have a chill time

Hello Everyone,

Apologies I have been distant from posting videos recently. There have been some personal issues I have had to resolve, corona and closures in Japan and various other things.

I will be restarting the videos soon.

Thank you for your continued support. I hope you are all well and safe during these terrible times.
