Japanophiles: Wolfgang Loeger - S6.E26

In 1987, Wolfgang Loeger left his native Austria and came to Japan. After nearly 3 decades as a ski instructor, he moved to Tokyo and became a taxi driver. Foreign taxi drivers aren't common in Japan, but Loeger's knowledge and enthusiasm are second to none. In a Japanophiles interview, he tells Peter Barakan how he ended up driving a taxi, and shares some of his experiences so far. He also speaks about his ambition to become a sightseeing taxi driver.
