Why do so many people dislike Tokyo? In this episode, I share my thoughts from Nagoya, where I’m filming at a park in the city on a lovely autumn day.
Tokyo is so huge that it’s easy to judge the whole place by Shibuya Crossing and packed trains on the Yamanote Line. But just a few stations away, the city can feel completely different. I talk about why I think that gap catches so many visitors off guard (and why I used to think the same way).
This episode was inspired by my friend Tracy’s video over at Weekly Fascination. Go check it out: https://youtu.be/3kAMHhD2LmI?si=zBLP_PeW53ZZvW8r (https://youtu.be/3kAMHhD2LmI?si=zBLP_PeW53ZZvW8r)

The Unexpected Expenses of the Expat in Japan
Moving to Japan? Here are the costs nobody warns you about. In this video I go through the unexpected expenses of life as an expat, from emergency flights home to wedding cash gifts. Japan's reputation as a cheap paradise is only half the story. These costs aren't sudden to Japanese people, they're just unknown to the rest of us. Every family is different, so if I've missed something, add it in the comments. I'd love to learn about it.

Where did my money go?
G'day guys! In today's episode I'm chatting about how to save money in Japan (and honestly, anywhere). Japan can feel pretty cheap compared to Australia, but the little things sneak up on you if you're not paying attention.
