Meet Hiddo, a Dutch astronomer who unexpectedly found himself living an adventure in Japan. Join him through his unique experiences: relishing the finest sake, enduring scorching summer mountain hikes (and surviving on streams in the mountains), challenging the cycling skills of the Japanese (very Dutch!!!), and discovering traces of Dutch heritage gracefully preserved in the charming city of Nagasaki.
I pointed out that as a person standing at a towering height (perhaps almost 2 meters!) with a fair complexion, Hiddo easily stands out in the crowds of Japan. However, he seemed to have no trouble fitting into the new culture. Want to hear more? Check out this episode!
Enjoyed Hiddo's episode? Get ready for more intrigue with Felicia's episode. While Hiddo, a Dutch astronomer, shared his Japan journey, Felicia's fluent Japanese and dual residency in the Netherlands and Japan provide a captivating counterpoint. Don't miss their contrasting yet interconnected experiences - tune in to expand your cultural horizons!
