#327 Jonny from New Zealand

Today we have another guest: Jonny from Auckland, New Zealand.
I asked Jonny about coming to Japan, studying Japanese and snowboarding.

Stick News: Earthquake in Japan

A few explanations if you don't speak Japanese:
Jonny said he want's to do "arubaito" which means "casual work" (comes from the German word arbeit).

The embarrassing situation story ... "anko" means "sweet red bean paste" -- "unko" means "shit". There is a kind of pastry/sweet bun thing in Japan called "anpan" -- which is sweet bread with anko inside. A guy (one of my boyfriend's friends) went to a bakery and asked in Japanese: "これは中にうんこですか kore wa naka ni unko desu ka". He was trying to say "does this have anko inside it?" But what he said was (with bad Japanese grammar): "Does this have shit inside it?"

Hidden message in the credits, you should do more of those.

So, is your original interviewee not feeling well for the same reasons you were on shut down day?
