Another Vibe

This week Jules and I interview Jason Le as he talks about his past three years abroad in Japan, Vietnam, and Cambodia. This includes how he arrived in Cambodia just as the country closed its boarders due to COVID-19. Jason also details how he become a part time DJ to combat the loneliness that can occur from living abroad on your own. Join us once again (and learn what Cambodian "Happy Pizza" is).   You can find Jason @justlej on instagram and @shibuiQ on mixcloud.

"It's all in our mind to educate ourselves and to be open to connecting to people from all different cultures and backgrounds. " Jules and I interview Shorenay Kong, small business owner of @loveshorestudio. Shore shares how her crochet business is a way for her to not only connect with individuals internationally but also a way to share her Cambodian American heritage. Jules and Shore also discuss relevant issues on the Asian American experience including the Model Minority Myth, generational trauma, gatekeeping, and growing up in an immigrant household.

Jules and I interview Appalachian State and JET Program alumni Alivia Hancock. She talks about her exchange experiences in Europe, Japan, and Korea. Alivia also breaks down her interest and passion in International Education. A truly cool interview with a cool person. 

Jules and I interviewed our very dear friend Erin back in November before things got crazy for us. This episode is a light hearted. Erin explains why she became interested in Japan and what living there has taught her. Of course, we also expose ourselves with funny personal stories involving onsen and old men. 

Hey guys! Jules and Shannon here. We took an unexpected hiatus due to personal reasons. We mention some of them in the episode, but we are back now (and yes we're still friends.) Listen in as we talk about plans for the poddy, how to prepare for the JLPT, and which animes got us through quarantine.  We also have a new upload schedule! Every 2nd Friday!
