In this episode - Da Plantation Wahine, we talk with Anayah from Hilo, Hawaii! We start with her introducing herself and a little history about her family immigrating from Hiroshima, Japan to Hawaii. Jamie and Anayah start to reminisce about Hilo and share some stories. They bring up Wailuku river (The Waters of Destruction) and shares how dangerous beautiful Hawaii can be. Anayah brings up memories of growing up on a plantation and tells an insane story about her face to face encounter with a wild boar. She basically shares country life in Hilo. After talking story, she talks about how she became interested in the Japanese (Japanese) culture and her realization that Anime and Manga was not a normal part of Hawaii culture just yet. In actuality, it was probably right in the beginning of the western culture Anime and Manga boom. Jamie and Anayah then talk about their Japanese programs here while studying Japanese. Chad randomly brings up the Grandpa stamp rally as the alcohol starts to flow. We then get into the "This or That" segment and ask her a few questions about; ramen, sashimi, fast food chains, coffee and tea, various places around Japan, BBQs and more. We sort of get into Gaijin (Foreigner) shaming, not really though. We talk about some culture shock then we get into what it's being gay in Japan. Yes, we get into some deep conversation and she shares with us the troubles for the gay community in Japan. We switch gears and tone it down with some small talk and end it!
