In this final installment of Season One we are putting a masked-bow on life in the times of corona and laughing till it hurts.

Episode 7: Mask On, Mask Off
Giving a teased-hair nod with this title to the 80’s classic, The Karate Kid and that oh-so-famous line: wax on, wax off. Mr Miyagi was training Daniel-san’s muscles for future battles.
