Hi Scott!
If I heard correctly you mentioned the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch. I must correct you, the "ch" is pronounced as "k". So its "Munk/Monk".
..
Do you have something special in mind for episode 100?
Anyhow,, I look forward to more episodes, so keep them coming and always remember that we are listening and always will.

-cheers! =D

Scott, you can fret about how "mundane" your think your podcasts sound all you want, but I'll keep listening. It might seem mundane to you, but it's someone's life story unfolding in front of me when I listen. I can't find it anything less than fascinating to hear to a father tell stories about his kids and his life in a place I'll probably never get to see.



I'm looking forward to seeing whatever photos and video you managed to compile that you were discussing in this episode, and I look forward to hearing lots more from you in the months to come. Keep up the good work! :)

Hi Scott, I'll second what Jim says above. It might seem mundane to you, but I am interested in listening to your experiences in Japan.

You are also a master at storytelling, which makes the podcasts engaging and fun to listen to.

Great stuff, Thanks.

Mark.

Hello Scott,

thanks for an interesting episode. Anyway, your story about the rock guy sleeping in the subway left me wondering. In the first place, did anyone bother to check if the guy was ok, or at least alive? He could have been sick and in need of help or a diabetic with low blood sugar level. On the other hand, what do we want to teach our children? Do we want them to learn that one must help everyone despite of their appearance or at least to take care that at least someone comes to help them. Or do we want them to learn to ignore the person like everyone else in the train seems to have done. I couldn't imagine something like that happening here in Finland. There would always be someone to check if the guy was ok and to help him.
I might be misinterpreting the situation totally. Still, I would appreciate your comments on this. Also, can you comment what is the typical reaction among the japanese in situations like this. Do you think the reaction is different if the person is foreign?

Greetings and thanks for a great show,

Timo.

I think Scott was correct in his accessment on the situation to this man on the bus, and I am sure he was able to see that this man was breathing and didnt look ill. If he were a diabetic under an insulin reaction he would appear sweaty and in need of medical attention.
I say Scott saw it for what it was: a humorous situation.
