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 Broder, and we're joined as always by England's

Top Japan enthusiast Mr. Pete Donaldson. He's back. He's back A-D-M Pete. Where you been?

Ridges. Now I've got a point to pick with you when you were talking to talk your lens last week

on the show. You said that I was aware I was having a holiday. This had nothing to do with me

wanting a holiday in the slightest, but I very much endorsed the last two shows. He is so good,

and I love his voice. I do like shows where you talk to other people on the podcast. I love

listening to Charlotte. I love listening to Tokyo lenses. It's really, really, really good stuff.

So more of that in the future, hopefully. And I can have my beloved holiday.

Yes, it's got a nice voice. I'm sadly picked up on that. I'm talking to Normie. He's got a baritone

voice. It's just soothing, isn't it? The Elteronte accent. What do you like about it?

His name, Norm. He's given himself like a Norman. As he got a Japanese second name or something,

I think. I don't know. Nakamura or something. No, even I know. Keeps it under that. No,

it's there. I know. I put it in the synopsis. I put it in the synopsis last week.

I just call him Norm Tokyo Lens or Tokyo Lens Norm. What do you always find really funny for some reason?

Don't know why. No, he was good. I love him. He's one of my only friends.

Oh, it's good to get him on. Chris, did you enjoy your week off though? Your rare,

your rare escape from the podcast? It's just nice to sort of listen to the podcast when I'm not on it.

And I started, oh, Chris is quite good, isn't he? When I'm having a do it with him, I'm like,

oh, hit this Chris Carrick. I'll stand him. Absolutely rubbish, isn't it?

But it is the Chris Carrick Asian. Are you feeling Christmas? Are you excited? Are you happy?
