The episode explores how living in Japan for 13 years has changed the host's perception of life and home.

Ever wondered why Japan never feels “ordinary,” even after years of living here? In this episode, I share my personal reflections on what keeps life in Japan fascinating, 13 years after moving here. From the concept of home shifting over time, to the addictive curiosity that Japan sparks, and even why the bullet train still makes me giddy, this is a deep dive into why Japan gets its hooks into you and never lets go.
