I’ve been slowly making my way through from the start since early march, and just now have caught up to the most recent episode. I really enjoy how the podcast focuses more on the real life/everyday things in Japan; far too often the country is sensationalized and exaggerated, and I much prefer the side of living that is more ‘authentic’ I guess. I especially enjoy hearing about the riding and racing, specifically the JBCF as I have only really followed the JCL pro league. This podcast is a great find for me as I am a Japan & Japanese language enthusiast, a cyclist, and an avid traveler.

It’s great to hear about topics such as the JET Program, weekend adventures, and the mundane daily events of living in Japan. I also appreciate the interspersed dry humor!

I started listening to the podcast after returning from a trip to Japan, and I’ve enjoyed getting to learn about the moving process. I usually put on this podcast as I’m working, and it’s a really nice way to learn more about the experience of moving abroad, and also listen to fun stories about the activities and places within Japan to visit.

Thanks guys for sharing your stories of life in Japan. Japan is definitely on my bucket list of places to visit, and hope that I make it there one day. Until then, I’ll just live my bed vicarious life in Japan by listening to you guys. PS: I love the stories of exploration and bike riding, but will not be fully satisfied until you post a story about staying in one of those crazy micro-hotels or sleep pods
