    I like the name of the city "Saitama" ONE PUNCH!!! I love story of entrepreneur in foreign country. It inspire me. I love he doesn't mind talk negative about Africa, to show his honest comparison.

      The joke of the character’s name is that there’s this common saying that “there’s nothing to do/nothing ever happens in Saitama”, and his plain, non-detailed face represents that.

    Cool to see Milo :) I grew up having it in drinks and on ice cream. Only found out recently that it was developed in Australia in the early 1930's as a tonic to help children to get vitamins and minerals in the depression era.

      He doesn't know how to speak good English.I don't think he is speaking for all the Africans. I am in Germany and I like Asian food and many Africans as well. I eat shushi most times. And I am sure many Africans in Japan go to Japanese restaurants.

    Ranzo, please don't repeat the global west tendency to lump an entire continent of people w/ the most diversity of everything together into one 'country'. East Africa is as different from West Africa as it is different from North Africa. In that vein W. Africa is best! 🙂 Food , fabrics, drumming...

      @@TheBlackExJp I am. Why wouldn't I be serious and it be a legitimate request? When Africans are always lumped together w/ little thought or consideration of our rich diverse humanity? I know that's not your intent, but when other Africans (on the continent or in the diaspora) use that messaging , it reinforces the narrative. Think a/b how folks the world round think a/b Africa and Africans as only distended bellies; needy black people w/ no history other than enslavement and poor; always a hand out needing help. I obviously enjoy your content and conversations and have for several years. So I'm not trolling. Just making a simple request.
