自分Oh, good morning. Oh, sorry, I couldn't connect a few times ago. Yeah. Yeah, it's been a while.

自分working? In this house? Ah, office. Yeah. Oh. So, it's comfortable to work in office? In office.

先生Okay, I see. Alright, so, yeah, that's it, you know, the weather is so hot now, and it's going to be hotter in the next few weeks.

自分Yeah. Yeah. So, your country is summer season now?

自分Oh, I'm going to be pig. Yeah. Wow. I can't imagine that. So, it's like sauna. It's like sauna.

先生Yeah, we're technically on the peak, ongoing to the peak summer season.

先生Yeah.

先生Can you see this? Last year, our highest temperature is around 40 to 50 degrees.

先生It is, yeah, it's like a freaking sauna.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, oh.

先生Yeah, well, how can I say this? In Japan, you're also ongoing to the summer season, right?

自分Yeah, exactly. Yeah. After three months, two to three months, two to three months,

先生Ah, summer season will start for two to three months. Okay, I see, I see. Well, how can I say this, though?

自分it will start summer season. Yeah. Yeah.

自分Oh, in my case, I had a hard experience around 38 degree.

先生So, in that case, what's the hottest temperature you have ever experienced, Shou?

先生Oh, that's hot, that's fever.

先生Yeah.

自分38 degree? Yeah. Yeah. That's hard. That's hard. Yeah. Yeah. So, some area around over 40,

先生Yeah.

先生Okay.

自分over 40 degree, 40 degree, where they have around 40 degree, some area.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

先生My goodness, look at that, it's 40. Wow.

自分

自分Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. So, you know, north area is hottest area in Japan. So,

自分sorry, south area. South area is the hottest area in Japan. For example,

先生Okay.

自分Okinawa. Okinawa is the south area. Yeah. So, yeah. So, hot area.

先生Okinawa is out there, yeah.

先生I see, I see, I see, that's true, because Okinawa is the one who's facing the sun most of the time.

自分Yeah. Exactly. You know that?

先生Yeah.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So, you're familiar to Japan. Yeah. Yeah.

先生Yeah, especially the Okinawa beach you mentioned, like, one of the famous beaches in Japan.

先生Well, not all of it, just the famous tourist spots, because that's the one I usually get to watch in social media, yeah.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you could get Okinawa in social media.

先生Yeah, I know that in social media, they say that Okinawa beach is, like, one of the famous beaches in Japan, yeah.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. So, let me see. So, it is very beautiful beach in Japan.

先生Yeah.

自分We don't have beautiful beach. So, it is the only beach. It is only beautiful beach in Japan.

先生Oh, and that's the only beautiful beach.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So, Okinawa is the most beautiful beach in Japan. So, I think

自分it looks like the Philippines beach. Yeah.

先生Oh, it looks like the Philippine beach. Okay, yeah, I agree.

先生Oh my goodness, but in my opinion, the Philippine beach is only good because we don't have any other season, just summer and rainy.

自分Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

先生Yeah, but imagine those beaches if we have winter, it will destroy the beach.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. We can't go to beach in spring season and winter season

先生Yeah.

自分and fall season. Only summer season we can go to there and we can swim and we can do a lot of

自分activity. So, but in your country, all over season, all year, all year people can go to beach.

自分Yeah.

自分Oh, on summer season. Yeah.

先生Yeah, in the summer season in my country, it's just three months.

自分Oh, only three months?

自分Yeah. Oh, I see. So, it's like you have four seasons, typhoon season, rainy season,

先生Yeah, and the rest of the year is either rainy season or dry season or typhoon season, yeah.

先生Three months.

先生Yeah.

自分summer season. Oh, three seasons. Three seasons. Oh.

先生Yeah, it's three seasons, but, you know, how can you say this? It's not even good.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If good. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I totally agree with you. So, I

先生Yeah, who likes typhoon season?

自分don't like typhoon season. In my country, I also have typhoon season.

自分Yeah. Especially in June, some typhoon come to Japan around

先生Yeah.

自分especially Okinawa prefecture and also Tokyo. Also Tokyo. Yeah.

自分Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. But your country, so you say have typhoon season and rainy season,

先生Wow, also Tokyo.

先生Yeah, I see.

先生Yeah.

自分but it is not cool. It is hot in this, in typhoon season or rainy season. Also hot. Also hot.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

先生Yes, it is also hot, yeah, but the temperature there is not like 56 just like now, maybe around like 38 or 30.

先生I don't know, that's the normal temperature here, a freaking tropical country.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tropical country.

自分Yeah. Yeah. But so, in this hot area, in this people, in this hot area, people

先生Yeah, that's why it's so hot, yeah.

自分don't, people don't need to buy jacket and down jacket. Yeah. So, people don't need to buy a lot

先生Yeah.

自分of wear. A lot of wear. Clothes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I envy you.

先生To be honest, that's true. Yeah, that's also one of the things that I think the advantage of having no other season, you know, we don't have to worry about the clothes.

先生We don't need to worry about that.

自分So, actually, I don't care about clothes. So, I don't like to choose clothes. And in especially

先生Yeah.

自分winter season, winter season, we must wear a lot of clothes. A lot of clothes. Some people,

自分or some people wear clothes three to five clothes in day, in a day. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

先生Rachel.

自分Exactly. So, one short t-shirt and parka and down jacket and so on. Yeah. Too much. Too much. Yeah.

先生Oh my goodness.

先生Yeah.

自分So, it is not comfortable. Not comfortable to wear all things. Yeah. Yeah.

先生Yeah, it's not comfortable, but yeah, the season makes you do it, you know, makes you order it.

自分Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. And also, people must buy a wear and it is expensive. So, yeah.

先生Yeah.

自分So, winter season clothes is expensive. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

先生Winter season clothes is expensive.

先生Okay, I see, I see, that's true.

先生Yeah.

先生How can I say this?

先生Yeah, it's the price depending on the season, like for example, now it's spring, so the winter clothes are what, like, cheaper or the price?

自分Oh. Yeah. Yeah. So, fit price. I think summer season or spring season, we can buy cheaper price.

自分We can buy wear cheaper price. So, only short t-shirts and short pants. Short pants. So,

先生Yeah.

自分it is not expensive to buy. Yeah. Yeah. But in summer season, in winter season,

先生Oh, it's not expensive to buy.

自分people must buy a down jacket and a coat. So, it is not cheap. So, expensive. Yeah.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. So, I like summer season. Yeah.

先生So expensive.

先生Oh my goodness.

先生Okay, yeah, so that's how Japanese people live in this kind of season, yeah, and their struggles.

先生Yeah.

先生Okay.

先生That's true, right?

先生Yeah, and your only problem is, like, what to drink because it's really hot.

先生Yeah, even if you like cold beer, cold water, or cold juice, yeah, it's great.

自分Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. How about you? So, you like summer season, but also, it feels so hard,

先生Okay.

自分so hot season, but you love, do you love summer season? Yeah.

先生Honestly, yeah, the only reason that I liked it is because when I do the laundry, I need, I can get the sun dry it, you know, so it's really fast.

自分Yeah. Oh. Yeah.

先生Yeah, like yesterday after I finished with all the laundry, it takes only about 30 to 1 hour and then all of it are dry.

自分Oh, I see.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you love summer season. You like summer season. So,

先生Yeah, it's the only thing that I liked about the summer season, the rest, I don't know, I don't like it.

先生Yeah, it's really hot.

先生Oh my goodness, okay, well, thank you very much for that introduction.

先生Alright.

先生Thank you.

自分what will you do, especially in summer season, in the weekend and day off, what will you do

自分in this season? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

先生How can I say this? Before, if it's like summer season, I can do like, how can I say?

自分Yeah. Yeah.

先生Oh, it's summer, we need to go to a public pool so we can like, like that.

自分Oh. Yeah.

先生But now, I don't have any, I don't have time for that.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Your priority is changing.

先生I'm busy now.

先生Yeah, I'm busy now. Oh my goodness.

自分Yeah. Oh. You don't have enough time. Yeah.

先生Yeah, and yes, I don't have enough time now. That's why. And how can I say this?

自分Mm-hmm.

先生And also, I do this with my friends.

先生We scheduled it, we decided to go to the swimming 2 to 3 days after we talked about it.

自分Wow. Yeah.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I see. I see. So, if you have enough time to spend with friends, you want to

先生But now, it's really hard to get our schedule aligned.

先生Yeah.

自分go to there. Yeah. Yeah. I see. Also, working and doing job. So, it is only

先生Yeah, I want to go there with my friends, but it's really hard to get our schedule aligned because they also have their jobs.

自分a native camp. You do working on native camp. You have another job.

先生Yeah.

先生Oh, okay. Well, that's a good question.

自分Yeah. Finding. Wow. So nice. So nice. Yeah.

先生I'm actually finding another job. Yeah.

先生I'm finding.

先生Yeah, it is. To be honest, it is. Yeah, it is nice.

先生But, how can I say this though?

先生But, how can I say this? It's really hard to like, find a job now because of I'm trying to fit a lot, you know?

自分Yeah. Yeah. Oh.

先生I have to fit a lot in one place.

先生So, I'm guessing I'm gonna have my own, you know, computer first and my own Wi-Fi in my house.

自分Yeah. Oh.

先生And after that, I will try to find a more suitable job like, you know, like work from home jobs.

自分Oh. Yeah. You are trying to find job. So, it's so nice. What I mean is,

自分finding job is you can get new experience and you can gain, yeah, good things

自分after finding another job. So, it is nice things, yeah? And you can work.

先生Yeah.

先生That's true.

自分Yeah. You can work from a house. Oh. Yeah.

先生To be honest, that's true. Yeah.

先生Finding a new job is an experience itself, you know?

自分Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I think so. Yeah.

先生Yeah.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

先生Oh my goodness. But, how can I say this?

先生How about you though? When, yeah, the first time that you are doing job hunting, you know, is it easy or hard for you, Sho?

自分Oh. Actually, the first in my country. So, I think it is easy, especially graduate

自分university or college and people have skills and knowledge, especially internet skill or IT skill

先生Oh.

先生Okay.

自分and AI solution skills. So, actually, I have a lot of skills or knowledge,

自分AI and marketing and internet. So, it is easy because in my country, population is decreasing

先生Okay.

自分now and there are not enough employees. So, a lot of companies are struggling to find employees.

先生Okay.

自分So, we depend on non-Japanese people and immigrate. So, it is not enough in Japan. So,

先生Okay.

自分if you come to Japan, it is easy to find job in Japan. I think so. I think so.

先生Oh yeah, that's true. The declining birth rates affect the overall performance. Yeah.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Bus rate is so down rate. But you, I mean, population is decreasing

先生Okay.

自分and our salary is not increasing and, yeah, but price is very, very increasing now.

先生Yeah, that's one too.

自分So, many Japanese people are struggling. People, even people have a job and people think about

自分finding job is so easy, but people can't earn enough money. Yeah.

先生Yeah, no.

先生Yeah, that's true. They keep saying that, oh, you need to find a job, you need to find a job.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, many companies also have problem. So, even in my country,

先生Yeah, but like, yeah, I want to find a job, but the problem is, it's hard to get accepted.

先生Oh my goodness.

自分even in my country, so we have a lot of problem and challenging. So, but over 40 years old,

自分over 40 years person can't find job easily. I think so because in my country, there are a lot

自分of older person and elder person. So, many companies want to hire younger person.

自分People have energy and high motivation and people have smart person, smart brain.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. How about you? In your country, it is hard to find,

自分especially over 40 years old person, around 50 years old person. Is it hard? Yeah.

先生But, yeah, it is hard. Yeah, it is hard to find a job for people who are in 40s and 50s, because much companies prefer the younger ones, you know?

自分Oh, yeah. Same situation.

先生Yeah, to have, like, more energy and also to be, like, easy to, you know, easy to train.

自分Yeah.

先生Yeah, so it's a problem for those person, especially the end of contract kind of situation. Yeah, it's hard to get a regular job.

自分Yeah.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I totally agree. So, I think younger person can do a lot

自分of task and people have energy and it is to affect another person. So, it is important things to grow

自分up company, have energy and motivation and do a lot of experience. So, it is important things.

自分But some elder person don't have energy and don't have motivation. So, especially in my country,

先生Yeah.

自分you know, in Japan, our work engagement is deadless all around the world, you know.

自分Yeah. In my country, people are thinking about death is dead. So, working is...

先生Yeah.

自分So, yeah. People are feeling stressful in my company, in my country.

自分Yeah. It is biggest problem in Japan. So, you know, Japanese people are very serious,

先生They're feeling stressful, that's true.

先生Yeah.

自分very, very serious to work. So, people, yeah, people also have stressful every day.

先生It's a very serious thing. Yeah.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

先生That's true, you know.

先生And while all of that are happening, it is also hard to maintain that, you know, the life, because everything is getting expensive, but salary remains the same.

先生Yeah, so it's such a big problem for Japanese people.

自分Yeah. So, you know, so, in this Japanese program, yeah.

先生Mm-hmm.

先生It is a Japanese problem.

先生Yeah.

自分Yeah. Exactly. So, how can I say? So, people, if people have enough money to

自分in job, so, some people will become high motivation or high engagement. Yeah. And

先生That's true.

自分we must have enough employee in our workforce. So, if we don't have enough employees,

先生Mm-hmm.

先生Yeah.

自分some people do a lot of task, do a lot of job instead of another person. So,

自分they must feel so disengagement. Yeah. Yeah.

先生Mm-hmm, that's true.

先生Yeah, you know, and that disengagement, it, yeah, that disengagement is what, how can I say this, that disengagement is what, you know, people don't like about it.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Disengagement. Yeah.

自分Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Oh, we don't have time. Yeah. I'm interested in this topic. Yeah.

先生Yeah, it's because, you know, every employee wants to feel appreciated, because they're working for your company.

先生Yes, they can get salary, but of course, it is also so nice to be appreciated.

先生That's true, time flies.

自分I'm talking. Enjoy. Yeah. Have a nice day.

先生Thank you.
