*The Times*
From wide-eyed exchange teacher to seasoned youtuber, Chris Broad
explores Japan in all its quirky glory, surviving earthquakes,
North Korean missile alerts, cat cafe allergies and Love Hotel
evictions. Endlessly fascinating!
*Will Ferguson, author of Hokkaido Highway Blues*
Fascinating, fact-packed and very funny. Broad's wry humour,
in-depth knowledge and adept storytelling make him an engaging
guide to the bewildering Japanese experience. Accurately captures
the excitement and dream-like disorientation of a foreigner
discovering Japan. An excellent and enjoyable read for the
Japan-curious. I loved it and learned a lot.
*Sam Baldwin, author of For Fukui's Sake: Two years in rural
Japan*
Chris Broad's wry, self-deprecating memoir carves a unique path
across Japan bringing him into contact with far too many cats,
heartening renewal in Tohoku, and even pizza with Ken Watanabe.
This is a thoroughly contemporary book, a memoir of life in Japan
that couldn't have been written at any other point in history.
*Iain Maloney, author of The Only Gaijin in the Village*
This book seeks to unravel a culture that can often seem distant to
visitors, charting his life over ten years and countless quirky
anecdotes.
*Wanderlust*
