A chortleworthy look at the land of karaoke, cat fanatics and chocolate-coated fries.—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

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 4 reviews.

Gaijin memories!

"As a former English teacher in Japan, I enjoyed this book immensely. It is honest, well-written, and very funny - I really identified with the situations Chris Broad experienced and this book brought back many memories. Even if you’ve never been to Japan, I think anyone with a sense of humour and a curiosity about life there would enjoy this read!"
