So we are live with Peter Payne, Peter Payne, Peter is, you are nestled in the subtle cold of the

Guma Prefecture of Japan. So how's it going over on your neck of the woods?

If there's a bright centered of Japan, Guma is the prefecture that is the

farthest from. Yes, yes. So the last time, we, last time Chiyaki and I saw it, we actually

met you and got to have lunch with you over in Japan.

Yeah, it was nice meeting you guys finally. It's funny how the you know the internet you you know

know people for years online and they're like oh they actually exists cool.

Yeah and it was so weird because we had been to that train we had been to that station where we met you

what was it Takasaki I think if I remember to talkasaki station it's it seems like it's like a

hub for on-sen baths because yeah it's one of the major you know just to go anywhere north of

Tokyo you usually go through Takasaki or depending on which the line you're on just

for people who don't know a little explanation.

So of course, Tokyo is in the east part of Japan.

And then next to Tokyo, you've got Saitama Pre prefecture which is sort of like orange county to Los Angeles or New Jersey to New York

but sort of in the shadow of Tokyo and it's you know it sort of gets a lot of teasing because it's not really rural it's not really urban so it's it's a nice place too though and Saipama of course if you watch any anime there's just tons of shows that are based in Saaitama like Lucky Star or Grand Chinchan or Anohana of course too.

So you can go to the places if you ever visit Saitama and then one prefecture over is or one prefecture to the north is Guma which is a you know nice, you know a little more rural than sightama prefecture

If you watch initial D this is the prefecture that initial D is

setting and yeah it's a nice place it's it's kind of good for J-list because

there's not that much exciting stuff to do so so I work a lot, and I'm not, you know,

burdened by a social life.

If I were in Tokyo, I'd be out, you know,

drinking in bars and clubbing and all kinds of stuff that I wouldn't do here because it doesn't exist here so it's kind of good and bad.
