Wow.

Hello and welcome to the Abroad Japan podcast.

Probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan.

I'm your host Chris Border, but joined, as always, by England's top Japan enthusiast.

Mr. Pete Dalton, Pete, hell the devil, are you doing? What's going on? I'm very host, Chris Borda, but join, as always, by England's Top Japan enthusiast. Mr. Pete Dalson, Pete, hell the devil, are you doing?

What's going on?

I'm very good, Chris.

Just before we started recording this show, we were talking about your book, your impending second book that you're currently writing,

and you very much are very keen on locking yourself away

in your own personal villa in Okinawa

and you basically just thought

well I could probably just stay in the studio and write the book

but you're very interested in apparently going to Okanawa

sitting in a villa for a week with your own personal pool and And that's all you've talked about, really, Chris. Obsessed with this villa. I just, I'm writing a book's hard. I've missed my... It is. I don't even know if I just talk about it, but fuck it. I've missed my hand-in date several times because I've been so busy doing things right it's hard to write a book is difficult

and to do it when you're running like a YouTube channel and a bar and other things it's it's hard

and also the book that I'm writing it's more it's a more travel-focused book and I have to fact-check

everything I'm saying I don't want to be like the kuma misizzadera Temple was built by Barry Chopsticks in the year 1562. I have to check the things I'm writing about, make sure what I'm saying is accurate. Why, Chris? There are no YouTube comments on the book. Just make it all up, in it. People are going to be writing in 1862. you're writing in byro at the bottom of your book going, actually, Chris, it was built in 16.35. That will be happening in an abundance. So obviously, fact-checking. And it will go through some proof readers who have to fact-check it as well. But it's a cool book. I'm excited. But every time you have to fact-check and stop writing, it's like hitting a road a roadblock it's like hitting a traffic light so it's taking time to write and I need

and when you write at home with a cat going and then coughing up some like hairballs and it's like

oh this is not good so I I keep looking at this image.

It was the journey across Japan episode where it was the Okinawa one.

It's a stupid video.

It's called like, what does Japan's $3,000 villa look like or some crap?
