Packed with hilarious and fascinating stories, this book seeks out to unravel one the world's most complex 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. Pages: 220 Abroad in Japan charts a decade of living in a foreign land and the chaos and culture clash that comes with it. Overall the book is a great resource for young learners of Japanese. Japanese Title: 中学生のにほんご学校生活編

Thanks Chris! In writing style, he's passionate yet not overconfident.

100% would recommend. As a long time subscriber to the Abroad in Japan YouTube channel, when I heard Chris was releasing this book I had to buy it and read it.

He 'speaks' well because he's more considerate of his role - a narrator and witness. Highly recommended, if only for the humour of the Fried-Chicken-Addicted-Bear and Doctor Jelly! By coming with few preconceptions, he manages to overcome culture shock, isolation, a lack of direction and confronts the difference from his own upbringing in the UK to his new home. While he's no expert, he downplays what becomes apparent - his willingness to learn and embrace his new setting.

Just a shame there seems to be some blood on my copy of the book… Plenty of funny and interesting moments and highly recommended. It's not the classic book with the usual infos about Japan than most people who are into it already know. I 1000000% reccommend it!

By far the best thing I’ve read all year. I bought his and hers copies so me and my partner could read at the same as we are both long time followers and were keen to read, it did not disappoint. At least he's lived there for more than a holiday, and seen more than a movie while sitting in the West!

but this comes from experience and actual immersion. Hoping in the years to come he may write another It’s really nice to be able to give something back to Chris other than YouTube ad revenue, and to get such a nice product at the same time is the icing on the cake. .

In conclusion, This book isn't a guide book as such, but part account of his experiences, part informative and interesting provider of trivial yet somehow important information, but most of all a reflective and appreciative account of a society so different from his own Western experience that he demonstrates a real love of the place. Chris's first outing as an auther is insightful, witty and full of interesting tidbits about life in Japan. I'm almost done with the book and I'm truly enjoying it! As he says, he's been criticised on social media for presenting a 'warts and all' account .
