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

Bauder, be joined as always by England's top Japan enthusiast, Mr Pete Dawson

himself. Pete, how the devil are you doing? What's going on? I don't know what

kind of state I'm in this morning because as soon as you started the

podcast for some reason I just started waving like the start of like family fortunes or something I just

started waving at everyone I don't know what the hell's going on.

Yeah, Chris, you seem to be very hot in your studio. You're currently drinking a pakari sweat.

You've just turned off your air conditioning in the studio in the old Tokyo

district of Japan and you are very very hot and Chris is it really kicking a gay the old heat in the summer heat

Connor Joe even American Pete he came around and he's doing this thing the

moment he's in Japan he's doing this thing the moment. He's in Japan. He's doing daily

vlogs every single day and he's succeeded in a way that I could only possibly dream of.

He has done a vlog every single day. Check him out, Moudan. He came to the studio and I gave him like a tour as I have done many times before over the last three years.

there's cables where you plug them into the wall and the wall sockets are

also fake I was like oh yeah these rubbish they don't work went, wait a minute, and I pulled it out the fake wall socket, plugged it into a real

socket, and the fans are fully operational fans, all four of them for three years
