In the next 10 days we'll be having the first live show - but first we need to decide the date and time.

Hey guys! Happy Sunday!
First off, apologies about the delay on the article - there were a few technical issues with the computer the last few days and it's finally been resolved. It's knocked back the schedule a few days, but the wheels are in motion once again.
In this week's article, I talk about some fun and memorable encounters I've had with people in my time in Japan - I'm sharing th...

IN this week's video I take on the Wankosoba noodle challenge once again and travel 500km across Touhoku with my good friend Ryotaro.
Along the way we'll visit a Samurai town, try a popular soda drink and meet a guy who can do the 'ultimate' dance (honestly, that's the best way I can describe it).
All that and more in today's video!

First off, a huge thanks to you all for your support this month - not only did we smash the first two targets in the first week, but we're dangerously close to the third.
As of this week, I've now been living in Japan FOUR years. It's crazy (and scary) when I think about it. The passage of time often sends a shudder down m...

Hey folks!
If you're reading this you're one of the awesome first supporters, who have chosen to support the channel before Patreon has even been formally announced (in the emotional "Future of Abroad in Japan" video).
Thank you so much for your support - I won't lie I'm still getting to grips with how to use Patreon.
But as a little treat, below I've attached a small video...
