Abroad in Japan by Chris Broad

funny lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

A fun, comical account of a typical Brit in a foreign land. Broad paints a pretty good picture of Japanese customs, work life, dating, food and leisure. It felt like a book focused on what it’s like learning the language at times, but it picked up toward the end when Broad got around the country a bit more and seemed to better assimilate to the culture. The parts of Japanese culture that were below surface level, like the country’s views on North Korea, were the most interesting.
