I had a lot of time to read during my stay in Spain and apart from scrolling through social media I'd read through this autobiography many chapters at a go. Chris Broad is basically a man who has lived the life I've been dreaming of living for a very long time, even prior to learning of the existence of his youtube channel. Being a youtuber myself, an aspiring English teacher, and a 20 year old extremely hopeful to escape from Malta and move to Japan, this book spoke to me in volumes.

Over ten years we follow Chris Broad as he unravels the wonders and eccentricities of one of the world's most mysterious cultures, rising from underqualified English teacher to YouTube sensation in the process. It’s exactly what I expected - full of fry humour mixed with cool facts about Japan. When I was reading it, it felt like Chris was reading it in my head (his audiobook is coming out in September). Utterly fantastic, funny, and memorable! I just moved to Japan 5 months ago (March 2023) and I truly resonate with a lot of the feelings Chris had.

I laughed, I could picture his descriptions and almost taste the food, I even almost teared up when he wrote about saying goodbye to his teacher friends.
