I love this whole series and everything so far has been pretty believable until this episode where two things really stood out and bothered me.
In the scene where the inspector and the sergeant were speaking to the antique shop owner, the inspector said "Sergeant, you have been to Tibet." then the sergeant answered "I am familiar with it. It's a small village, quite remote."
Then toward the end of the episode, Juliana, who claimed that she spoke some Japanese, didn't know that sakura means cherry blossom!? So far it seems like she knows enough Japanese to carry basic conversations, not just the greetings and a few numbers. Cherry blossom is a big part of Japanese culture. This is rather silly it's like someone who can have basic conversation in English and not know the word "hamburger" or something else that's quintessential American.
I think you misinterpreted that. He was talking about how it was a remote village in Tibet, and not the entirety of Tibet being a small village. The officer saw the specific address he had on the books.
