Charlie: Well, you’ll have to ask her yourself about how she feels, ’cause I don’t know. She probably has feelings one day which are good, and on the other day they’re not so good. But I think she’s generally happy that I’m doing what I want to do. And she’s doing what she wants to do, and I’m always happy to see that in her daily life, and the choices that she makes. Not seeing her for a long time is something that is just going to be different from last year.
Not better, not worse – it’s just going to be different. In fact, every year we’ve been together, things have changed, our situation, living arrangements, the town that we live in, the friends we have, etc., so it’s always good to kind of renew or change or kind of refresh your relationship – for some people – with different living circumstances. And this is just going to be another one of those chapters in our life. Yeah.
John: So she’s supportive. That’s great.
Charlie: Yeah, she says if I take more than one day other than planned, she’s going to find a new fella.
John: Oh, so you – one year, and one year only.
Charlie: Yep, yep. I’ve got to be quick, that last day – [whistling] – I’ve got a real push to make.
John: You have a deadline.
Charlie: I’ve got a deadline .
John: You have the cell phone – the keitai, we call it in Japanese – to – you guys’ll be talking sometimes.
Charlie: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, she might get a videophone too, and that’ll be fun. That’ll be fun.
John: Well, nice. Well, Charlie, this is – I think – I really appreciate bringing you on here and taking the time to come here. It’s our very first Adventure Pod English, and your adventure sounds great. What I like about it is it’s educational, the language and learning about WWOOF – this series of network of organic farms – it’s an adventure as well as an educational experience. And hopefully we’ll share – you will share, I’m sure, I know you – you’ll share what you learned in the future, after you get back.
Charlie: One more thing I wanted to say about this. As well as education and adventure and all of these things, if anything, I’d like the trip to be some kind of a motivation for people who have dreams to make the necessary steps to achieve them. So nothing really is impossible in life. So if you have the chance to do what you want to do, then that’s just fantastic, and I just hope it inspires people in that way, more than in any way – any other way.
John: Oh, that’s great, Charlie. I think – we wish you the best of luck and I really look forward – I appreciate the friendship that we’ve had – the bicycling and going out and doing things together. And I wish you the best of luck, and I look forward to hearing your updates and how you’re doing on the road, what you’re learning, and please keep in touch. Send us some photos and audio-video, and we’ll share it to the listeners and the viewers. And I think we could all learn something from Charlie’s adventure – his educational adventure. So, Charlie – best of luck!
Charlie: Thanks very much.
John: And thanks for coming with us today, and talking to us.
