Über diesen Titel

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.

Kritikerstimmen

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)

Very exciting! Such a wonderful journey that everyone who moved to the foreign country can relate to. Language barrier, lack of social contact, loneliness, to the excitement of exploration, enjoying the new start and finding new confidence in one self. Well rounded, dynamic, exiting, eye opening, awoken my lost love of Japan!

Excellent!!!

I had an absolute blast listening to this.
Following Chris along for a few years on YouTube and now hearing more stories in detail about his years in japan was wonderful.
A beautiful insight into the chaotic ups and downs of someone in a foreign country.

Can’t wait to see his plans for the future

Such an intriguing Story

I never heard through a book so fast as this one! I already love Chris YouTube channel. So listening to this book felt very nostalgic, since I followed him for many years already.
Last but not least, he is a joy to listen to, even as a non native speaker as myself.

One of the best audio books I've ever listened to.

It is amazing that such an eloquent and entertaining book came from one of my favorite youtubers.

Genuine, honest and interesting.

Beautifully told adventure of an authentic person. First half is extremely funny, then it gets more and more serious - while still having comic reliefs here and there. The funny part made me laugh so hard and captured me, but the more serious and emotional parts won over my heart.

Honest
