I've dreamt of writing down the crazy stories and experiences I've left out of Youtube for many years. Off screen there've been ups and downs, great moments and emotional ones, that I've never been able to share until now.   

The book kicks off the day of my interview at the Japanese Embassy, goes through my life in rural Japan as an English teacher with no experience of teaching or Japanese and beyond through the decade spent living in and travelling the country.

The release date is AUGUST 3rd.
BUT if pre-orders go well, a book tour might well happen!   So if you've ever wanted me to hop on a plane and pop up around the world, this year could be the one!

Thanks guys and I'll leave you with the official synopsis and a few early reviews!

|| OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS ||

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 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 came with it. Packed with hilarious and fascinating stories, this book seeks out to unravel one the world's most complex cultures.

Spanning ten years and all forty-seven prefectures, Chris takes us from the lush rice fields of the countryside to the frenetic neon-lit streets of Tokyo. With blockbuster moments such as a terrifying North Korean missile incident, a mortifying experience at a love hotel and a week spent with Japan's biggest movie star, Abroad in Japan is an extraordinary and informative journey through the Land of the Rising Sun.

🌟'Chris Broad explores Japan in all its quirky glory..Endlessly fascinating!'
- Will Ferguson, author of Hokkaido Highway Blues

🌟 '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.'
- Iain Maloney, author of The Only Gaijin in the Village

🌟'Fascinating, fact-packed and very funny..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
