🎙️ Ep.10 | The Power of One Simple Japanese Phrase
✨ Short Description
In this episode, I talk about my New Year trip to Kyoto and a small but touching moment I experienced there. I share how just one simple Japanese phrase spoken by travelers changed the atmosphere around them.
✍️ Episode Details
II talk about my two days in Kyoto, the many international travelers I saw, and how hearing them say “Arigatō gozaimasu” in Japanese created smiles and warmth between people. I reflect on why the feeling of wanting to communicate matters more than language ability.
