Wow.

Welcome to the Aboran Japan podcast. Probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan.

I'm your host Chris Broder. We're joined as always by England's top Japan enthusiast,

Mr Pete Donaldson himself. Pete, how the devil? Are you doing? What's going on?

I am good. Thank you very much. I am very excited because I've had a sneak preview of a video that you might be releasing

sooner rather than later Christopher and it's you sent me a little clip of Natzky talking

about you know the the very definition of life the very definition of love and basically

just you got Natzky in what I believe is some kind of, was it a field or something? Was it some kind of? It was from the Nacca Sendo hike. We were hiked for like three days straight. Yes. We were dying at the end. Yeah. And you asked Natski to sort of talk about the nature of life and living. He did that. He did that. He went to his own back, mate, yeah.

And he reeled off a good 15 seconds of some of the most profound stuff,

followed by not the profound stuff that I've ever seen.

He goes like, I'm tired.

We've, we've hiking for three days, whatever, I'm tired, I'm broken. We've hiking for three days or whatever.

I'm tired.

I'm broken. But aren't we all? Isn't humanity? Aren't we all tired in life? But we have to keep going. We have to push onwards, upwards, harder. Begin. Let end. And he was like, it's all about life. It's about memories. Believe in yourself. And they like pauses. and he's like, oh yeah, I'm so cool.

That was really cool, I just said.

I was just like... It's about memories. Believe in yourself. And they, like, pauses. And he's like, oh, yeah, I'm so cool.

That was really cool, I just said.

I just like, imagine like Plato, Aristotle or Seneca.

He's philosophical greats just being like, you know, the soul of, the soul becomes died by the colors of one's thoughts.

Soak your mind in wise trains of thought.

Fuck yeah.

I'm so cool.
