Wow!

Hello, welcome to the Brawren Japan Podcast.

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

I'm your host Chris Brauder. We're joined as always by England's top Japan enthusiast,

Mr. Pete Donaldson Pete. How you doing this week? What's going on?

I'm good. I'm not as busy as last week. I'm off to Lithuania on Friday.

I decided that I've been home for too long.

I'm going to take a couple of days out in Vilnius in Lithuania.

Not a place I've been before, but it seemed to be a little easier to get into than places like

where literally anywhere else to be quite frank. So, yeah, I'm going to do that for a couple of days with a minute.

Oh, well.

You are the first person I think I've ever met who's gone to Lithuania.

We must have Lithuanian listeners because a lot of our listeners are from exotic lands like Poland and France and Germany.

That's all you've got. That's the most exotic lands.

Very exotic lands.

I'm also jealous because I still haven't left Japan and you're already going off on your second holiday

the month having just come back from the Canary Islands.

You're not the same.

You just don't want to fill in the farms that you have to fill in to get out of Japan.

It's a lot of effort. I mean, you know what I'm like.

If it requires filling in a form, it ain't going to happen.

But I did just get back from Kyoto. So maybe that kind of counts as a holiday being an old Kyoto.
