Next voice message.
Hello. Yamachan and Kevin-san.
Hello. Hello.
I always enjoy listening to your podcast.
Thank you.
This is my second time to send a voice message.
I'm trying to speak in English this time.
Thank you.
Now I'm in Vietnam and I want to send some postcards for my family and friends.
But in here, I couldn't find any postcard for nearly two months.
Wow. Finally, I got some.
However, many Vietnamese people and my Korean co-worker said,
email is much easier and fast.
I know that.
But I think some Japanese people still like sending postcards.
03:02
So I want to ask you guys.
Do you like sending postcards to your family and friends when you are overseas?
Thank you.
Okay. That's a good question. Thank you.
From Vietnam.
Yeah. Vietnam.
Okay. Cool.
All right.
Postcards.
Yeah. Postcards.
I never sent out postcards.
Oh. Or received?
I never...
Maybe received. Yeah. Some I have.
But no. I never send postcards.
Okay.
Do you?
Yeah. I have.
Okay. All right.
So when you go overseas, do you do it?
No.
Not only overseas, but...
Like when I was in France, I bought a postcard and sent to my family, of course.
But when I'm in Japan, I buy some Japanese postcards and send those to my friends in France
or my family in France or other countries, of course.
Or like when I go to some... not recently, but when I was little,
I made a trip by myself to like Kyoto when I was, you know, when I was a kid.
Okay.
And buy some postcards and send back to my family.
Wow.
Yeah. I remember that.
So obviously you love doing it.
I... well, not recently.
Okay.
Yeah.
Are you starting to realize that digital communication is so much more convenient and easier?
Is that what it is?
Well, that's one reason.
You know, nowadays we can... I can, you know, take just some pictures and just send them to wherever.
So that's kind of convenient and easy.
Okay.
So that's one reason.
And even I can, you know, video call.
Yeah, true.
Like this and show the city.
True.
So I'm not sending postcards like that much recently, but one good thing is just you can keep the postcard.
It's a physical one.
So you can have it as a picture.
Okay.
You can put it on a wall, you can put it on the fridge, you know.
True.
That's a good... one good thing.
Well, just as much as you can print out the picture that you received and put it on the wall.
Yeah.
But you know, it just came from Japan, you know.
Is that romantic to you?
It just came from France or it just came from those far.
Okay.
So the paper itself was breathing the air of France.
And also there are like some stamps, you know, French stamps.
06:02
That's a little... and also it's handwriting so you can see how they write.
And it makes me like more like human, human warming, you know.
Okay, it's fair.
Yeah.
I guess it's fair.
Yeah.
But you know, yeah.
Okay, so if you were, let's say, going abroad for one year.
One year.
To wherever you like.
Where would you choose?
Africa?
Okay, Africa.
I love Africa.
I want to go.
And you were to send postcards or whatever.
You want to communicate with your family, right?
Are you going to do postcards or are you going to do FaceTime or are you going to do email?
What are you going to do?
If it's the purpose itself is to communicate some information, information, then like emails
or like video messages are much convenient.
But the purpose is just, you know, telling that I am having a good time here.
Okay.
Then I will send a postcard.
Ah, okay.
Why?
Because, you know, it's just me by the postcard and write and send it and that's all.
You don't need a two-way communication.
Yeah, like...
One way.
I just can, yeah, you know, it's just so that I can focus on living on that country, not
strongly connected to the, you know...
Got it.
That's what I see.
I see.
You see what I...
When you digitally connect with somebody through, for example, like Messenger, Facebook Messenger,
what happens is you start...
That communication kind of involved in the life in Africa.
Yeah.
That's...
That makes kind of sense.
I can always have to send, feel the Japanese daily life even I was in Africa.
So...
I see.
That's one good thing when you...
It's not only the postcards but letters, of course.
Right.
Yeah, you can have a little...
Have a distance.
You're very likely not to have a response, right?
When you send out a postcard, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What if they like, what if they send the postcard and they give you a line saying, "Hey, got
your postcard!"
Is that...
Yeah.
Is that a...
Is that disturbing you?
Of course.
And they don't understand what I...
Okay.
What you wanted to do.
You know, the romance of those paper things.
I see, I see.
You know?
It's true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, you know, I do really understand that those lines and technology things are really
much more convenient.
They are, yeah.
In terms of, you know, exchanging the information or immediately.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
I just can't wait for technologies like, you know, Metaverse?
09:03
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, that's fucking some next level shit.
Yeah, it's true.
I could probably virtually be with my dad during COVID.
Yeah.
Like, if I was there.
True.
That's fucked up.
Yeah.
That's pretty...
That's fun.
That's the one thing that I really not regret, but like, feel like I want to live longer.
Like I want to live longer to enjoy what life has for me with all these advanced technologies.
Yeah.
I feel like you can do so much more and you can have so much more enjoyment, right?
Like with all...
With the help of technologies, like you get...
You're connected with everybody.
You can go wherever and you can virtually feel like you're wherever you are, where you
want to go.
So, that's...
That like really helps enriches your life.
You know, I feel like so.
Yeah.
That's one thing that I don't like aging.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
You love those technology things.
I do.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
