Yours has always been one of those podcasts that I look forward to updates coming out, along with Scott's. To be honest, I don't think it would even have mattered if you had gone onto another tangent and completely left the subject of Japan, I would have stayed loyal to the podcast. There's just something about your personality and the way you presented everything that made it feel like I was hearing from an old friend. I'm glad that I got to 'know' you through your podcast and look forward to your future endeavors. Take care! And add me to that list by the way.

I just wanted to say that I am more than sad to hear that Finding Japan has finally come to a close. I realise that you have to go back to the real-world evenutally, and that's cool, however I only picked up on your podcast about two months ago and have been avidly devouring each and every episode as and when I've had the time. It sounds like you had a phenomenal time out in Japan and I have drawn a lot from your experiences and hope that when I'm out there I get to find some pretty amazing adventures for myself. As other people have put, your podcasts have been and continue to be, a comfort and a crutch to lean on and have formed as much a part of my recent Japanese studies as any text book or dictionary that I've been able to lay my hands on. I suppose really it's a big thank you for sharing your life in Japan with me and everybody else and I really hope whatever you go onto do, you are successful and enjoy it. All the best, and どうもありがとうございます。(Corny, but true.) Ryan Hi Chris.

Finding Japan is probably my second favorite Japanese-themed podcast of them all.. second only to Josh in Japan. And I've listened to nearly all of them. I especially appreciated your positive attitude and outlook, which I found to be a sharp contrast with some of the other podcasts I've listened to. You introduced me to 'Getting Things Done,' which is having a positive impact on my own life. Looking forward to hearing the final chapter.. Congratulations on a job well done!

Having listened to your podcast for a long time now, and also writing in my spare time I have a question for you. Recently I've been interviewing certain members of my family, people I know directly and indirectly, and also a few people I have just met. They all stand out as being interesting in some way or another, but I'm mainly doing it as a personal project. Just picking peoples brains and having something to do in my spare time. So I am coming to you in hopes that you would be an "interviewee". Just questions about your travels, how you got to where you are, things like that. If you can, I'd be more than happy to work out some way of communication with you. And if not that is perfectly fine too. Thanks for the time :D Hello!

The podcasts become meditative sometimes, while I'm on the train, or in bed studying my nihongo (I hope this doesn't freak you out...perhaps you've had similar experiences with other podcasts.) I traveled to Japan for the first time last year in november for a 2-week trip, and am going again this november for another 2 weeks. It sounds like you've been there initially for short term trips, but then stayed for long term while you worked there... I'm in the process of applying for the JET program, and am curious as to what life was like living there and not just going there for vacation. I'd also like to ask you some more questions, if you have the time... but I mainly wanted to thank you for your contributions! Doumo arigato! Hey Chris,
