EDACC-C01-000000018

in what sense different lifestyle

yeah i i was feeding them which is not supposed to be done but anyway it's my fault so yeah uh it's not it's not and you're not supposed to it's you know it's at your own risk and in fact it was at my own risk

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000032

yeah

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000033

because i was feeding one and then all the others came

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000034

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000035

so that is the thing

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000036

EDACC-C01-000000038

i've been outside of europe i've been to japan i've lived in japan for for six months and actually i would

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000039

oh wow si six months that's

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000040

it's a very interesting place i would like to go back i i have very good memories from my time in japan i spent

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000041

why were you in japan

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000042

i was

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000043

for six months

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000044

i was living in tokyo and while i was there i visited kyoto hiroshima and osaka and

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000045

osaka

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000046

and

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000047

i've i've heard of that i think i i know okay now i was gonna visit tokyo now not osaka no

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000048

no they're quite different

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000049

anyway continue

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000050

they're quite different

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000051

mm hmm

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000052

so okinawa is in the south of japan

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000053

mm hmm

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000054

in of japan and it's an island and it's uh it's tropical uh it's quite far away from uh mainland japan i mean from the main um the main islands and um it it is tropical the we the weather is hot always warm and uh apparently it's a ve it's very beautiful because it has white beaches and and it's a huge tourist attraction and uh osaka is a city in the place of jap in the south of japan actually next to kyoto is not the the best um from the point of view of history and monuments but um the food in osaka is very good

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000055

ah the food

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000056

yeah

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000057

so what what's the food like actually i know that you know sort of the most famous food in japan is sushi but i think they actually have a lot of other things that people

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000058

yeah

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000059

don't really

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000060

i think that

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000061

take right

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000062

i think sushi and sashimi are just the cliche but uh japanese don't spend the whole time eating sushi and sashimi as in the same way as italians don't spend the whole

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000063

hmm

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000064

time eating pizza and

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000065

what's the reference between sushi and sashimi

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000066

so so sashimi is the raw raw fish and

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000067

okay

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000068

uh is used in uh is one of the ingredients of sushi

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000069

oh okay

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000070

so sashimi is the raw fish on its own without rice while sushi is uh it's sashimi on rice

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000071

okay

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000072

and

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000073

so what what other food do they have then

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000074

uh and even concerning fus sushi there's different kinds there that we can't find in europe because the there's much more variety of fish

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000075

hmm

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000076

so my my favorite one is the a particular kind of seal but i've never found it in europe um and

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000077

but you tried it there

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000078

yes i tried it there it was really good and apart from from sushi i mean okay sushi is one dish one of their one of their dishes but then there's um uh they have a million ways to cook fish also they they have um a lot of ways to cook meat mostly griddle griddle meat

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000079

mm hmm

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000080

and um they uh what struck me is that their cuisine is very light and

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000081

light in what sense light

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000082

in the sense that uh um when a lot of it it you don't feel it heavy in your stomach

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000083

okay

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000084

in the uk it happens to me many times that i um i feel it heavy on my stomach

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000085

mm hmm

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000086

while there um when eating out very very rarely i i felt uh i felt it on my stomach

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000087

mm hmm could it be that they don't fry a lot then

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000088

it could be although uh they they have templar which is again

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000089

mm hmm

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000090

a fried fish but even that it was uh it felt light in the sense probably

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000091

hmm

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000092

the i i think they have very high standard of cook uh food quality very very high quality standard for food

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000093

okay well i mean i mean i've never been to japan i mean the the the the closest i've been is i've been to hong kong which was also amazing um uh and yeah the food there againwas was wonderful i used to go to the university canteen i was there on a university placement and i used to go to university canteen and i think my most favorite dish was very simple just rice

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000094

mm hmm

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000095

um what we here call bok choy if i'm pronouncing it correctly i'm not sure what it's exactly called and

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000096

mm hmm

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000097

uh chicken sorry no not chicken duck on the bone

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000098

ah nice

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000099

and they just chop it in front of you with a cleaver and serve it on on just white rice and with some soy sauce and it was mm delicious

Italian

EDACC-C01-000000100

sounds really nice

Italian
