Tomas
: Japanese beer is very good.
Andreas
: I wonder if there is some Japanese beer just like sake made of rice? Because sometimes I can not imagine there's like taste of rice. I'm not sure which one, Sapporo Lager some Kirin which we tried... How many? 5 or 6 beers?
Tomas
: Sound strange to me, because the taste is the same. So I can not underestand, I think it's from to be some kind of wheat...
Andreas
: In Sweden, I tried Asahi and Kirin. There are a lot of other types of beer, which is better. We had Tokyo Ale for example yesterday. The one was really good beer. I know a couple of people in Sweden, they should definitely. They are really beer fanatics. They should try it. Maybe start to import it to Sweden. Maybe Tape Brand!!
Tomas
: Why not?
Andreas
: Whole new business, quit music and import beer. Maybe for the retiring.
Tomas
: They are going to export Snuff to India now, because it's a kind of alternative to cigarettes. Because they can't proof it causes cancer.

Andreas
: But still tobacco is really cheap to buy and produce. They are pretty big market.
Tomas
: Very strange.
Andreas
: I don't think they will succeed.
Tomas
: I saw a program documentary about girls in India. She was a model. She was going to put in this clay bleach for her skin. And it was causing cancer. She was using this lotion.
Andreas
: It's like Micheal Jackson?
Tomas
: Yes, it's just sort of about it's very strange that in India, you are going to bleach for your skin, and get cancer, but in Sweden everybody goes to Canada, Australia, you get skin cancer as well. Because you want get brown.
Andreas
: In Japan, the beauty standerd for Japanese commercial is European looking Japaese girl, just quite strange. I think maybe it's the same cloth, I don't know...

Tomas
: Sweden is more exotic to be from some place.
Andreas
: Like being Swede in Japan?
Tomas
: European Afro American in Sweden.
Andreas
: Sweden is compare to other Scandinavian countries, Swede is pretty allowing...
Tomas
: But they stopped into EU.
Johan
: Ajust their standerd?
Andreas
: Be more racist?

Tomas
: It's getting more and more security gated.
Andreas
: It's really bad. Trying out to be. Sweden needs people. We are not even 9 million, which is size of Tokyo.
Johan
: Maybe it's standerd before, but even the north Sweden. I don't know how many people in the north Sweden.

Tomas
: Very few people in the north Sweden.
Andreas
: Totally empty. Nobody lives there.
Tomas
: Because it's dark. They have a very high suicude rate in the north Sweden. Because winter time is dark in 24 hours. In the summer, it's light in 24 hours. So everybody get depressed.
Johan
: Maybe should do tour in the north.
Andreas
: YES!!
Tomas
: Only one people in the audience. They are native. I mean like India in USA. We have people in the north Sweden, Sami.
Johan
: But they are not Inuit.
Andreas
: But like Asian looking.
Johan
: They have very stronge identity.
Andreas
: They are also like Celt. They live in the north Sweden, and north of Norway, Finland and some part of Russia. Today not depending on one country.
Tomas
: They had a hard time. I mean, like for 100 years ago... But I heard if you are Celt or Sami, you didn't get any penalty... They have own laungage.
Andreas
: The ending of sentence in Japanese tends to be quite long, stretched out.
Tomas
: "Wakarimaaaaasu!" (means "I see" in Japanese), for example. Sitting on the subway, they are repeating the same word, it's really long. Sounds like singing.
