Multi lingual

Being multi lingual has aided Juns ability to work with other nationals.being brought up by Pinoy ,Indon,Cambodian maids working for us and my mom has broadened Juns worldview.From our Pinoy maid ,she always aspired to see Jun study hard n wear a toga or mortar board so when Jun graduated,i paid fully to fly her in to attend his convocation and took his studio photo with her.from the indonesian Sulis who came from a farming community,Jun learned not to waste food as she said every grain of rice represents the drop of tears of a farmer as he works to toil the field.so Asian values are the same,study hard ,dont waste food,respect the elderly. so he can communicate with the tour guide in Bali in Indonesian language,crack dirty jokes in Tamil with friends,understands the work culture of Filipinos in the ad industry and does business with Bruneian and Singaporean and work in Bangkok as he speaks,read and writes Thai as fluently as a native. He used to get his stocks from Japan but found difficulty negotiating inJapanese when the other side has limited English skills.now hes happy dealing with Hong Kongers as they are proficient in Cantonese,Mandarin and English besides being reliable and efficient as Hong Kong is a multinational transport hub.My grandpa worked in a dry goods shop when they imported chinese waxed duck,sausages,mandarin oranges n food supply from overseas so i think good logistics is the asset to economic growth especially now with rise of e commerce.im sourcing my german shampoo from online retailers as they offer bulk discount and jun gets his Spanish shampoo as its hard to source from local shops that sell popular brands mainly as its fast moving goods.thanks to e commerce we are global citizens so i think when i crave to cook paella.i know i can buy paella spices,or chirozo from online shops
