Les mer My Time in Japan

I'm Paul-chan, an Army vet, web developer, gamer and Japanese enthusiast. My Time in Japan is a journey revisiting my experiences of adapting to new cultures and blundering through language barriers while serving as a Latter-day Saint missionary in 2009 and 2010. From the lush mountains of the Chūgoku Region to the very southern tip of Kyūshū, we dive into journal entries, local history, mission stories, and more.

Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place / 前門の虎後門の狼

For this episode's Latest Word, we're digging into the linguistics behind the phrase... you guessed it, "caught between a rock and a hard place." Ty, one of the missionaries I served with in Japan, will be joining us soon but I introduce him in this episode along with some of the lessons I learned while serving with him. We also dive into some more of the cuisine I was introduced to while living in Izumo, and touch on other topics such as missionary fitness, mental health, and the art of the beverage run!

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
