If only there was a way of making videos that required little to no effort yet would still get you loads of views...

edit the audio (the most boring shit on earth)

One of my favourite things about your videos is how you edit your audio. It always stands out to me as adding something extra... after all, timing can really change how/if a joke works.

Thank you for doing this AMA. I've been reading about NK recently and I find it fascinating but deeply sad.

1. How old were you when you escaped to the South and how old were you when you emigrated to North America?

2. I've read that there are many South Koreans who don't believe that the conditions in North Korea aren't as bad as they're made out to be. There have been several cases of escapees being dismissed, by expatriated Koreans (mostly in Japan it seems...), as being fakes. How widespread is this view point and how are the people, who hold this view point, seen by other South Koreans?

3. When you arrived in the US, how were you received? Was there much discrimination aside from the usual racism of the time? Were you seen as, for lack of a better word, as and "enemy" for having come from North Korea?

4. Did you have and particularly positive experiences with Americans when you first arrived in the US?

5. This isn't exactly in the same vein as the previous questions but seen as though they're talking about Kimchi on TV at the moment. What was your experience with food like when you arrived in the States? Was there much of a Korean community and availability of Korean food and ingredients when you arrived or did you have to adjust what you ate out of necessity to a more western diet?

Are the Japanese, specifically the teenagers, as universally polite as I am lead to believe by documentaries on NHK?

Is there anything a westerner could unintentionally do that'd be considered completely normal in their own culture but is seen as rude in Japan?... For example, I know that in certain parts of Asia it's considered very rude to show the soles of your feet.

And, on a similar subject, is there anything that a westerner could do to try to fit in that'd be seen as patronising?

For those of us with only a basic grasp of Japanese, how easy would it be to get by in Japan? (non-verbal communications between different cultures really fascinates me).

Have you ever tried Hoppy and is it any good?

Thanks for the answers.

I've never heard of "hoppy." I asked my Japanese girlfriend and she has no idea either. "Is that food?" she asked.

Hoppy is a non-alcoholic beverage, with a taste similar to beer, that started out as a cheap alternative to beer. It's usual mixed with Shōchū and is drank in the older parts of town (from what I remember from a show on NHK). The wikipedia page seems to confirm this.

What percentage of calls would you say are mental health related and do you think another emergency service should be created especially for dealing with mental health related calls?
