So I often struggled at school.

Once, when we had a maths test, I looked around the room and everyone was just doing it.

And I couldn't and I began to cry.

but it's just a handful of small ones.

And you can deal with that.

I hear her voice in my head for every problem I face to this day.

Thinking about teaching,

Hello and welcome to the 400 pan podcast,

probably the best way of learning about life in Japan,

without actually being in Japan.

I'm your host Chris Broaden.

We're joined as always by England's top Japan enthusiast,

Mr Pete Dommelsen himself.

Pete, how are the devil Iy today?

I'm good.

I've got a carol and macchiato starbucks coffee drink.

I'm trying to put on up Chris Broad on his coffee consumption.

I've had three coffees and I'm ready to get funky, baby.
