On this episode, Ben and  Burke discuss the ways that living in Japan has changed them while reviewing the opinions in an article by TimeOut Tokyo. Everyone's English seems to change to some degree by living in Japan, especially if you work for any amount of time as an English teacher, but how about alcohol drinking habits, places that you choose to travel, social etiquette, and appreciation for the four seasons? If you've lived in Japan or still do, would you agree that what the article and guys say is accurate? Let us know your thoughts by writing a review on Apple Podcasts! Thank you and enjoy the show!
