Interviews
Japanese reputation in Colombia
And thankfully in Colombia, Japanese people have a good reputation. So, it worked into our advantage, I guess. We're better respected just because of the background, I guess. And because the community is relatively small, and mostly have behaved well, right? Because it's also comes with the territory that to uphold that name, you still have to behave properly.
