Reina Virgilio: Expert at Reading the Air, Unsuited for Japanese Beauty Standards, Bellydancer, Japanese Colloquialist

  • Summary

  • The picture doesn't match the name, does it?

    Reina is a pal that, when we first met, we didn’t talk at all. That's because she is a dance friend from Tokyo, and we met on the dance floor at a of the Latin dance festival in Tokyo.

    Reina immediately stood out because of her a... rms. It sounds strange, but if I see someone that’s obviously into fitness, I can guess with a high degree of accuracy the things that we probably have in common. One of my theories about people is that they tend to come in packages, or sets of values that come together more often than not. And so, Reina is a dancer, learns languages, works for herself, is a future digital nomad in Europe - some similarities here for sure. 

    In this episode, we talk about all of those things, in addition to: the adulterous nature of Japanese marriages, how she certainly doesn’t fit the checklist for a typical Japanese man, how to contextually know if a Japanese person is rejecting you, and we pick up a few interesting Japanese phrases along the way. Thanks, Reina!
