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 Broad and we join as always by England's top Japan enthusiast, Mr. Pete Donaldson himself,

how are you doing on this fine day, Pete?

I'm good, I'm good. I'm enjoying the fact that obviously we are recording remotely because you are in Japan and I can't get to Japan, God damn it.

And we're using a piece of software that allows us to write a little note in the bottom of the screen.

And I always forget to look at what Chris has written.

And Chris has written in the last three minutes.

Are you there?

Sure.

And then I'm just running to do my hair.

Have you just done your hair just for this podcast, Chris?

I like to be good looking for this podcast.

I like to be well groomed, I like to be prepared, even though you can't see me and nobody can see me.

I still like to feel the part.

I like to be at the part.

I think it's you doing YouTube right for eight years or whatever.

You feel like you need to make some sort of effort.

Although that being said, apparently I don't because I eat too much cheesecake, Pete.

But I think I look all right on YouTube.

I think I'm all right.

So I need to do the same to the podcast.
