À propos de cet audio
Brought to you by Penguin.
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.
Spanning 10 years and 47 prefectures, Chris takes us from the chilling summit of Mount Fuji to the chaotic neon-lit streets of Tokyo. With blockbuster moments such as a terrifying North Korean missile incident, a Japanese national TV experience gone horribly wrong and a week spent with Japan's biggest movie star, Ken Watanabe, Abroad in Japan is an extraordinary and informative journey through the Land of the Rising Sun.

Histoire
A gripping collection of 15 BBC Radio full-cast dramas written by Bert Coules, inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories. In the 56 short stories and four novels Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his great detective, how many times did Dr John Watson tantalise us with references to cases which were never written about in full? These original adventures flesh out those unrecorded cases to wonderful effect. Clive Merrison plays the great sleuth himself, with Andrew Sachs in the role of Doctor Watson.

Histoire
While growing up in Peace River, Alberta, Trina Moyles heard many stories of Lookout Observers--strange, eccentric types who spent five-month summers alone, climbing 100-foot high towers and watching for signs of fire in the surrounding boreal forest. How could you isolate yourself for that long? she wondered. "I could never do it," she told herself.

Histoire
Things I’ll Never Forget is the story of a young high school graduate in 1965 who faces being drafted into the Army or volunteering for the Marine Corps. These are his memories of funny times, disgusting times and deadly times. The author kept a journal for an entire year; therefore many of the dates, times and places are accurate. The rest is based on memories that are forever tattooed on his brain. This is not a pro-war book, nor is it anti-war. It is the true story of what the Marine Corps was like in the late 1960’s.

Histoire
It was long ago, but not as long as it seems: The Berlin Wall fell and the Twin Towers collapsed. In between, one presidential election was allegedly decided by Ross Perot while another was plausibly decided by Ralph Nader. Landlines fell to cell phones, the internet exploded, and pop culture accelerated without the aid of technology that remembered everything. It was the last era with a real mainstream to either identify with or oppose. The ’90s brought about a revolution in the human condition, and a shift in consciousness, that we’re still struggling to understand.

Dive into Chris Broads back story
Although many moments have been touched on by the author in either his YouTube channel or Podcast. Abroad in Japan is a worthwhile listen to get a sense of the wonderment that the author feels in his journey. The book felt like listening to an old friend recounting their memories with you from long ago. Well written with slightly less of Broad's trademark snarky commentary it's a listen you won't regret. Filled with moments that you can tell really touched and helped to shape the man into the YouTuber many of us know today.

An escape to Japan
Stuck in hospital with little to occupy me.., I listened to Chris' book and it took me away from my dreary room and gave me a reason to chuckle and imagine all the events and sights he describes. Looking forward to the next book!

Love Mr. Affable? This is a must-buy!
Chris' snarky, grumpy, and absolutely endearing narration adds so much character and charm to his stories. Whether you're a fan of Abroad in Japan or simply looking for a great listen about Japan and Japanese culture, this is definitely worth your credit.

8 hours of blissful listening.
Never been to Japan, maybe one day. Have been following Chris' Youtube channel for a few years now, and always enjoyed watching and appreciated the quality of his content grow over time. Now I'm even more pleasantly surprised at Chris' top-notch narration skills. I enjoyed the whole book in two sittings, and the way the stories are narrated, it's like... you're there.
Great Job. Thank you for sharing your adventures !

A Broad in Japan
Chris Broad defines the life of a youth looking for more, of a YouTuber, of a strange, of a life anew. His retelling of events from humble beginnings teaching and learning to Covering some of the larger events that take place in Japan underscore a life well experienced. His relatable quarrel with personal uncertainty, challenges with the unfamiliar, and culture shock help detail the realization that Chris isn't simply having fun riding a wave but rather navigating a life of new experiences. In a sense, Chris is born-anew.
Chris details a life of adventure. Not a listen to miss. Especially if you youtuber.
