MDJ 19 - Mountain Bake Bandit


Listen Later

Sara from the Philippines and Paolo from Italy joined Chan and me on a trip to Nagano. Together we embarked on an adventure to taste raw horse meat, see kappa monsters and explore Matsumoto, Kamikouchi and the famous Shirakawa village.

As usual, we also discuss a variety of other topics such as Japanese Doctors and dentists, how Japanese people sometimes do anything just to avoid foreigners and ponder about making bad decisions.
