Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,009
When Englishman Chris Broad landed in a rural village in northern Japan he wondered if he'd made a huge mistake. With no knowledge of the language and zero teaching experience, was he was about to be the most quickly fired English teacher in Japan's history? Abroad in Japan charts a decade of living in a foreign land and the chaos and culture clash that comes with it. Packed with hilarious and fascinating stories, this book seeks out to unravel one the world's most mysterious and impenetrable cultures.

so much more than YouTube or the podcast

This was so much more than Chris on YouTube or his podcast with Pete. This stands up on its own as a truly entertaining and insightful retrospective of his experience in Japan.
if you don't follow Chris or know who he is.. it doesn't matter. if you are interested in Japan or Japan from the perspective of someone from the west, this book is a must.

Broadcaster, writer, philanthroper and one of the first public figures to suggest high-visibility clothing for people manning temporary car parks, the public Alan Partridge is a cherished institution. But what of the unseen Alan? For the first time, this famously private man welcomes us into his home and audibly deshrouds himself for a fascinating series of podcasts.

Alan at his exceptional best

I forgot how Alan has the ability to make me cringe relentlessly. This is Alan at his best when he's at his worst.
