In this episode - The Swede, Michael joins us from Sweden and we talk about his time here in Japan and some Japanese culture. Michael is a Swede that went to college in Japan. He has lived in Sapporo, Hokkaido and Chiba. We talk about his experiences in Japan such as Wanko Soba and his college life here. He also shares some interesting things about Sweden, such as the way the High School is structured there and the choices that they have. He talks about his "Video Game" high school, where the school basically teaches them about the video industry and teaches them skills that they will need in that field. He also drops some important information, PSA: ***Do NOT do drugs in Sweden!***. He talks about how the Japanese culture didn't really shock him and how he prepared mentally. He tells us how some small parts of the Swedish culture actually mirrors Japanese culture and his reverse culture shock. We get into our "This or That" segment and somehow end up talking about some of the Swedish festivals found here in Sapporo and his experiences with them. Then we end it.
