Wow. Hello and welcome to the Abroad Japan podcast probably the best way of learning

about life in Japan without actually being in Japan. I'm your host Chris

Baudel. We're joined as always by England's top Japan enthusiast Mr Pete Dawson himself Pete how the devil are you doing?

I'm good I think I might be turning into a vampire Chris a strange vampire I've already got

the widow's peak and I'm just rather concerned I've changed

mobile phones and I've gone away from one Samsung to another and my my my

fingerprints are working.

Oh my God, why?

They're just not working.

Like, it just doesn't...

I just don't know what I'm doing wrong really.

I think I'm... Can you have like really dry hands that

mean your fingerprints don't work I'm a little bit concerned that I might be I might be

losing losing fingerprintage you've burned off your fingerprints to evade crime. Imagine like on the

iPhone it uses face detection whatever. That's very effective and very impressive but

imagine it's just not working one day that'd be kind of creepy.

Yeah, and you just have become a non a non person. Yeah, I mean my hands are kind of dry at the

moment but I mean it can't be I can't be in a situation where my fingerprints fall off. It's like, it's a little bit like when,

is it pineapple farmers? Because of the acids in the pineapples, isn't it misnomer that their

fingerprints start rubbing off and you start to get smooth fingerprints if you're a pineapple farmer.

My knowledge of pineapple farming is more limited than I'd care to admit.

You call this abroad in a pineapple farm, do you?
