Hello everyone, I'm Akane, a Japanese teacher. I went to a cafe in front of the shooting of a YouTube video. When I entered that cafe, there were two customers. Before shooting, I would say hello to the people in the store. I took a picture and checked the places I couldn't go. And I asked, "Is there a lot of customers from overseas at this cafe?" The people in the store said, "I'm coming sometimes." The customer who is here now seems to have been from overseas with the two customers. First of all, I spoke to the person sitting on the right side of the counter. When I asked him where he came from in English, he told me he came from England. But he told me he was from China, so I spoke a little Chinese. He also spoke Japanese. Next, I spoke English to the people sitting on the left side of the counter. Then he came from Taiwan, and he told me in English. And then he said, "The three of us here in China will speak Chinese." I talked to the three of them a little. It was a really fun time. But soon another customer came to the store, so our conversation ended in a short time. There were only two customers in the store I entered for shooting. The two of them came to Japan on a trip, and they were Chinese native speakers. And I learned Chinese in college. "Tamatama" means coincidence. This coincidence is really fun. Especially, I would be really happy if I could talk to the person I met on a trip. I didn't go on a trip this time, but I was really happy to be able to talk to these two. And the two of them were very polite. "Can I take a picture of the person in the store?" After hearing that, I took pictures of food and drinks. There are also places where photos and videos are forbidden in the store. I was really impressed by the fact that I came to Japan to look into such a store. Did you have a coincidence meeting recently? From here on, it's the way of reading kanji. To the right, to the right, to the left, to the left. To the right, to the right, to the right. Thank you for listening to my podcast, which is always for the introduction of Japanese. See you next week! Bye-bye!
