A Delhi-cate Predicament (w/Dr. Megha Wadhwa)

Japan By River Cruise

Ollie's going to eat both of those pizzas by himself, but HEY, it's his birthday.

Bobby looks at the river cruise unions ALLS-WELL-THAT-ENDS-WELL philosophy.

Topics discussed on this episode range from:

• The "rulebook for integration" in Japan, and why it's never been properly translated.
• The actual rulebooks that are actually made in an attempt to help non-Japanese integrate in the way Japanese people want.
• Ollie's black and white striped t-shirt
• The lowdown on the Indian community in Japan.
• The stereotypical Indian migrant, and how its changing.
• The effect on Covid-19 on your ability to get a good Indian set lunch.
• How the entry ban has affected the Indian population in Japan
• Whether India has been treated worse than other countries.
• Cross-boarder relationships.
• Ollie getting himself in knots trying to ask what was actually a very simple question about India getting wealthier and gender equality.
• Ollie's claim that people not wanting to be friends with him is because of where he's from not who he is.
