Jasper Degens
This week, the podcast team sits down with teamLab’s Jasper Degens, one of the geniuses behind the Borderless Mori Digital Art Museum. As one of teamLab’s first and only gaijin, Jasper tells us about landing his dream job with zero Japanese and a lot of ingenuity (and persistent e-mailing), plus arriving in Vietnam without a job or plan and teaming up with an engineer/DJ.
Suggested Activity
Get a Ubigi eSIM for Japan (in advance!)
Access to affordable, high-speed mobile data while in Japan is a must. Ubigi has popular packages in the 10GB--25GB range, as well as unlimited data plans for power users. TIP: Use code TOKYOCHEAPO for 10% off.
And here in Japan it’s festival season! So in our Tokyo Stories Greg hops the mic to tell us what it’s like to actually join a festival – from buying a festive loincloth to shaking a 400 kg portable shrine.
