Yamanashi Podcast Episode 8 *Destiney*

Yamanashi Podcast Episode 8 is a heartwarming conversation between two different people from two different continents stationed in Yamanashi, Japan.  We compare and contrast our experiences in Japan when it comes to Teaching English, living as a foreigner and learning about Japan in this podcast.

We talk about all the good, the bad and the ugly things in our experiences and we also try to make sure we provide you with a perspective about life in Yamanashi.    For example, we talk about the SNOWPOCALYPSE that trapped the entire prefecture of Yamanashi in snow and how we survived during that time.

Yamanashi Podcast Episode 7 *Road Trip*

Listen in as she talks about her various adventures in Japan so far via her car.   If her car's pedometer could talk, I'm almost absolutely sure there are stories that even Rachael won't want to share!

Are you taking advantage of your time here in Japan and traveling? Learning the culture? Interacting with the various interesting Japanese people all over the place?    Japan is much more than Tokyo and its big buildings and party scenes; It offers great culture and even greater people to tell you about it.
