He gives us insight on the progress he made with his Japanese skills while studying and living here. He also tells us some college stories and shenanigans that went down while he was here with Jamie. Some good ole drunken stories in Japan. He tells us how Covid-19 has messed up his travelling plans and contemplates his next move, in terms of travel.
