A humorous recount of medical encounters in a foreign country, from initial struggles in receiving proper treatment to a diagnosis of liver damage leading to thoughts of a Japanese liver transplant. The chapter delves into cultural differences in alcohol tolerance, memorable experiences during drinks with Japanese students, and a surreal Japanese New Year celebration at a doctor's place. The speakers discuss health matters, including a slipped disc and reliance on prescription drugs for pain relief, ending with reflections on podcast quality challenges.
This episode features another natural conversation with a native English speaker. This time I'm talking to my mate Carrick, who I've known for about 10 years now. He is a teacher who used to work in the same school as me, back in London. We have a few things in common, like the fact that we've both had a few strange travelling experiences as English teachers, including the time when he once attended a meeting in Germany that involved not only the usual business work but also the drinking of some very rare and expensive scotch whiskies, which meant that the meeting turned into a kind of musical party with guitar and flute playing, quite a lot of whisky drinking, a late night and then, unsurprisingly, a bit of a hangover the next day. Listen to hear a few anecdotes, some authentic English conversation and more.
