EXCELLENT cast Chris! This is definetely one of my favorite episodes. Now, let me just say before I go on that I do enjoy the episodes where you talk about Japan life more and still look forward to your commentary (just so it doesn’t sound like I’m saying my favorite episode is the one episode you don’t talk in). Anyhoo, I really enjoyed these sounds. It helps both to pass the time while I’m doing my schoolwork and it also really helps me illustrate Japan in my head (good gracious I want to go so bad). Very, VERY entertaining and it even inspires at times (kinda like how certain songs do for me). I look forward to when you’ll do this again, but of course, I do look forward to another episode with your own commentary (and with some background noise as well :-p) to be out soon!
PS: Clever idea with the Asian intermissions between sounds. Before I listened I was wondering how I was going to distinguish the sounds without you telling when a new one comes up. Very cool idea.
