We chat about our “firsts in Japan” to celebrate our first episode. Listen as we share secret stories about adjusting to a new culture, from doctor visits to encounters with creepy-crawlies. We also reflect on our first impressions of the Japanese countryside and what motivated us to move to Japan.
