On this episode, we meet Canadian Josh Grisdale. A wheelchair user due to cerebral palsy, Josh works for a social welfare group in Tokyo's Edogawa Ward, and runs a website for foreigners with disabilities that introduces a broad range of locations in Japan with barrier-free accessibility. He also works to promote a better social understanding of people with disabilities. Then later on, we watch the swift handiwork of Vietnamese Hoang Quoc Viet, a professional wallpaper installer in Saitama Prefecture.
