Hello and welcome to the Abroad Japan podcast.

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

Because this week I'm here in the flesh with Mr. Pete Donaldson himself, British extraordinaire. Pete, how the devil are you doing? What's going on? Chris has been kicked out.
