This time I tell another story about a crazy time out I had recently (please don't copy my actions), we get into some more Olympic heat talk, and I get a few video recommendations. 

This time I tell a few stories from my trip to beautiful Okinawa, I give some quick tatami mat advice, and I show how Japanese corporate structure can backfire.

In this short but sweet episode I give some tips to help you out if you need to move house while in Japan, I tell you about an anime themed restaurant coming to Tokyo, andI share my feelings on other topics.

This episode covers several different topics, some light and others heavy. I give an update on a fuss going on atop the highest place in Japan, tell you about something cool you can pick up, then spend a bit of time sharing my concerns about a something that has been on my mind for a while.

This time I explain how the weather in Tokyo is particularly crazy this year, and then I break down a story about some reverse-Japanese discrimination before giving some advice you can use.

In this episode we cover a variety of topics ranging from cultural traditions, to furniture buying, to macroeconomics (on this podcast? yeah). Lots of information for you whatever you are into. 

As mentioned in part one, this is the raw audio from the previously recorded episode. This should be the last time we have rough audio, but the good news is that there is some great information from an interesting interview I stumbled across the other day, and then we get into another scandal that has rocked the entertainment industry here in Japan

This is a quick supplemental recording I am putting out. The audio quality is finally up to par (finally!) and we get into a quick article about the trend of bubble tea hitting Tokyo and Japanese Instagram. I also get into some insight on how trends work in Japan, and we wrap up with some advice on a subtle way you can start to differentiate types of people here. Also be on the look out for the other audio for this episode dropping soon. My apologies in advance for the rough audio on that one, but I think those issues are being us.

We have fixed the previous audio issues and are back for another great episode. I start off by sharing a bit of my teaching/life philosophy when it comes to dealing with Japanese people and students. After that we continue with the list of things to do when you first land in Japan.

First off apologies for the bad audio. I am still learning the ins and outs of my new equipment and some rookie mistakes were made on this episode. Besides that we talk about a unique festival experience I had, and I give some fun things newcomers can do in Tokyo.
