Chris Broad Instagram – Less than a week away until the release of the Abroad in Japan book (Aug 3rd).
Finding myself weirdly anxious about it all. I won’t lie, it feels utterly surreal stuffing 10 years of your life into a 300 page book.
It’s far more personal than the YouTube channel, with a heavy focus on those three initial crazy years spent living in rural Yamagata, working at the largest high school in north Japan.
For all the many things I’ve been incredibly lucky to do here, those 3 years were an absolute whirlwind that I’ll never forget. Time spent unraveling Japan, the language, the people, the food (often too much food). Frequently culture shocked and baffled by daily life.
Writing the book was the closest thing I’ve had to re-living that time, the friendships, the highs, the lows and sometimes, the tragedies along the way. For that alone – to essentially be able to go back in time – over the many months spent writing this, hunched over a keyboard, it was all completely worth it.
Whether you want to live and work in Japan, travel here or simply discover 10 years worth of horrific, embarrassing stories from a British idiot, here’s hoping you enjoy the book! 🍻🍿
