Yesterday I took part as a panellist in a TBS programme called ‘¥1000 the World’, an interesting experience. There were 5 main panellists including Dave Spector, who had a little chat with me before the recording. The foreign guests, including myself, were from Egypt, Philippines, Korea, Nigeria - ‘Bobby’, Argentine, New Zealand, Thai - a lovely person her father is English and her mother Chinese (Hong Kong), India, Russia - from Novosibirsk and China. England and Europe was represented by yours truly…
Cliches and stereotypes abounded but some intresting information came out.
My contribution was small, mostly because of being nervous and shy, I also need to improve my Japanese!!
A good experience, that I would llike to repeat.
