sick week
sorry folks, but i’m going to have to do something i haven’t done in 17 weeks…… i need to take this weekend off from sitting behind the mic.
this weekend has been about the busiest weekend at work that i’ve seen in a long time. that and i’m sick with a touch of a cold/bronchitis……
i will also be catching up on some behind the scenes stuff that i’ve been procrastinating about for a while now….
please post on the forums, keep up the spirit of podcasting, and i will meet you all sometime late next week or weekend.

What games are popular there that we would be familiar with here in the US? Do they play Monopoly, Sorry, Candyland, Yahtzee, checkers and chess? What about UNO and other cards games. I know the military influence must have spread the use of cards there. Are there Japanese games that you like that you could describe to us?
Thanks,
Dave

hi joshinjapan
i am really enjoying your informative podcasts but have let less than positive comment … the phrase “sucks ass” is repeated a few more times than i care to hear in the podcasts. while i am all for (pardon me) ’sailor speak’ it isn’t really what i am into for the podcasts. it doesn’t seem professional.
that being said, i think that all other aspects of the podcasts are getting more professional sounding (i am only up to number eight so far). thanks for the great service.

Hope you’re feeling better soon. The show’s great - keep it up.
P.S The site’s homepage seems to be loading a little wierdly in IE - something wrong with the page perhaps?

Thats good, because I need to catch up on all your podcasts! I’m up to the third one. the first one I ever listened to was #17, yesterday. And I can proudly say I have succumbed to your podcasting prowess! You’re a great host and give good replies, not short and uniformative ones
I have never been to Japan but hope to go one day.
Greetings from Australia!

Hey guys,
Found this story on Japan Today and thought it was classic. Follows on beautifully from some of the Mainichi Daily News stories. A perfect example of ‘non-news’ from Japan! Check it out.

Here’s a little bit of Japanese culture stuff
When some tells you they are sick in Japan; you should reply with
大変ã§ã™ã。。ãŠå¤§äº‹ã«ã€‚。
which roughly translates as
that is too bad; get well soon.
The ãŠå¤§äº‹ part will vary depending on the
politeness level of the conversation
google the term will bring up some interesting
Japanese get well soon cards as well

Hi Josh,
Get well soon. I truley love the show and I don’t think you should get paid. I think podcasting should be like a hobby and this podcast is great as it is - it’s the best one out there and if you let in the sponsers I think you will start to lose your edge. If you want to earn money from podcasting i think you have the talents to do it some other way, please keep this podcast real - as long as possible.

Sorry to hear you’re ill Josh - I hope you don’t mind - I’ve linked to you on the podcast that my students of tourism are doing, trying to encourage them to listen to different travel-related podcasts.
Look forward to when you are back
