    What happens when a seasoned business traveler trades in short visits for a month-long immersion in Japan? Join us as Clem Miller unravels his captivating journey through the Land of the Rising Sun, offering a rich blend of personal anecdotes and cultural insights. From Tokyo's bustling streets to Kyoto's serene temples, Clem paints a vivid picture of Japan's unique juxtaposition of modernity and timeless tradition. Discover how a society renowned for technological prowess still thrives on a predominantly cash-based economy and why its retail scene remains vibrant despite the global shift towards online shopping.

    We take you on a spiritual exploration of Japan, where Shintoism and Buddhism coexist harmoniously, creating a cultural landscape of openness and mutual respect. Clem shares touching stories of Japanese society's honesty and kindness—from unlocked bicycles to a cab driver who returned overpaid fare—offering a glimpse into the heart of a nation anchored in spirituality. And if you're a sports enthusiast, you won't want to miss Clem's lively recount of Japanese baseball games, a testament to the country's dynamic cultural tapestry.

    Transportation and trust go hand in hand in Japan, and Clem sheds light on the efficient Shinkansen bullet trains and the intriguing economic insularity of this fascinating country. Take a stroll through the allure of Japanese gardens and learn about "forest bathing," a practice woven into the fabric of Japanese life. With our listener demographics shifting, we're excited to see Singapore take the lead in downloads, and we extend heartfelt gratitude to our global audience for their ongoing support.
