00:02:07.010 this is my town Bristol and many people
00:02:08.660 don't know this and actually a quick
00:02:09.740 story I'd actually never been to Bristol
00:02:11.900 I'm from England originally but I've
00:02:14.000 been away for 20 years and I had the
00:02:17.510 kind of very fortunate position I've
00:02:18.980 been working in Japan for seven years
00:02:20.330 and my company said we want to open
00:02:22.190 office in the UK go choose somewhere so
00:02:25.100 I traveled around the UK went to many
00:02:26.780 places don't want to bad-mouth anyone
00:02:29.150 but Bristol kind of popped up on my
00:02:31.430 radar so let me let me try this place
00:02:33.170 blew me away instantly so let's see I
00:02:37.489 don't go back to the slides
