Hey Lextorias love your content

[@ufgatorbearify]

As one of your oldest fans, not related to y'all, I have enjoyed Pete's story as it seemed all of you did. So I figured you might enjoy my story of 10+ years earlier. I graduated Uni in 1991; Japanese minor; 4 years of Japanese. Got a salaryman job with what is now Kyocera (Then Mita) that started Jan 1992. I had home stayed in Kobe summer 89. Like Pete, I had no visa and was held at airport until Mita came to get me. Fun. They took me to Mita dorm 1.5 hour train from HQ near the castle. The dorm was horrible, but area beautiful and I was so far out, I'd get a seat on train every day 😊 Anyway, I was a salaryman for 1.5 years. They never let me do anything, so eventually I left to teach. I had move to foreigner dorm in the city which was great. My friends got me in with Nova English school and I was there for a year and a half. Teaching there is actually pretty good; not the horror show some experience. You would have 6/7 lessons (1hr) and one hour free conversation. You had a textbook based on levels and your 3 students could be anywhere from 10 to 80. I luckily taught at Namba, so I was walking distance from Dotonbori. Tip: Once I got my bicycle, everything was so much better. I laughed at Pete not having a phone. We didn't even have Internet 😊. I literally had to wait 3 days for newspaper to get sports scores. My dorm was one room tatami, with mini Genkan/kitchen. But enough room for 25" Big Box TV and superfamicon. Floor bathroom with Japanese toilets and 100 yen for warm water shower. Floor mates with people all over the world. As I spoke Japanese, Everytime the phone rang, there could be a knock on my door to translate 😂 If ya wanna know what it looked like, go to Chris's studio. THAT WAS MY EXACT PHONE 😮😮😮 And yes, I lived through the Denki town era of Osaka in the emergence of the tech world. PCs were starting, giant game centers everywhere, famicin games new and used all over. I'd spend day after day wondering around finding cool Japanese games we would play back at Orange House. Even beat one Zelda in Japanese. And y'all feel old😢. Thanks for all you do cuz it's amazing to relive my time in Japan vicariously thru you.

[@suyashkumar2757]

You should make videos about your experience! This sounds incredible

In the defense of Japan for the teachers changing schools every 5 years policy, in my country, Malaysia, we also have the same policy for all teachers teaching in public schools. My elementary school teacher told me it was to give every student a chance and give every teacher a fair experience. If every teacher could choose where they'd like to teach, no sane human being would willingly choose the worst school to teach at except for unmotivated teachers. This would create inequality treatment for students and teachers who got the short end of the stick

He is such a great storyteller. This might have been the best episode in Trase Taste.

[@erichutcheons9023]

for sure one of the funniest, have never laughed this much on a TT ep yet, i had to catch my breath a few times. can't believe how funny and entertaining pete can be sometimes! But I gotta give the no.1 spot to mr affable still lol

[@krishnendupurohit]

Probably one of my favorite guests on the podcast, I love pete so damn much. This man is the definition of having 10 charisma in fallout

[@Msmasajes]

Pete's not a teacher. Pete is a STAR. Seriously, he is truly a charismatic storyteller, and one of the best snake oil salesman I've ever seen :)

[@piccoloblack]

Peter seems to be the epitome of “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”

[@sammulhall]

My older brother is an English teacher in Hiroshima via the JET program, and according to him things are much better than they used to be. The pay still sucks but his students love him, and several of them have won English Speech Competitions and personally thanked him afterwards for helping them prepare. Maybe his experience is unique, but he really feels like he’s helping these students and making a difference.

[@ShaneRob93]

Peter talked about more of the positive experiences he had teaching on 1 of his streams after this released.

[@CyrusEppie]

Abroad in Japan podcast he talks more about his fun experiences too

[@realisticadvisor9931]

He already mentioned that the bad experiences came from outside of JET programs.

[@commandolemon6340]

the pay will never be any better than most salary jobs in the west, but I think the experience for most is definitely worth it.

[@realisticadvisor9931]

@Commando Lemon63 the pay is on par with US pay for teachers, actually. However, the pay for any medical bills in Japan would be thousands of magnitudes cheaper than if you were in the states, even with insurance.

[@TheBhappyboy1986]

You know Pete is a good story teller if he talks like for 80% of the podcast and everybody loves it.

I don't think I've ever watched an entire episode, it's always running in the background but peter had me chewing on my nails waiting for what comes next in the story. Amazing story teller, he's one of my favorite guests so far.

[@Random-Stranger]

Pete has such a great way of telling his stories that this is the first episode I found myself getting slightly annoyed when the boys interrupt him or make comments that break the flow of his story. Like, "Shut the fuck up and let Pete finish!" 🤣

[@MrAsh1989]

When I first saw Pete a year ago, I didn't know if I would warm to him. But after that livestream with Connor and Chris, the one where Pete showed up and totally made the night, I now like Pete a lot and consider him the best of the bunch

[@jaykebird2go]

I loved the ending section where Peter just pointed at the random figures around the room being like "Is that Snow White? Is that Ashita no Joe?" and trying to guess characters with the very limited and vague anime knowledge that he has. And all the conversations that spawned from that. That was a lot of fun. Peter was an amazing guest, great episode!

Holy hell, that was so much fun. What an interesting person! Thanks for having him on, I clicked on the video intending to watch 10 or 15 minutes right now, then finish it off later, as usual, but I couldn't stop. It felt like this flew by in 20 minutes because it was so entertaining and interesting, Pete's lived such a completely different life from myself, and had so many completely foreign experiences that it's just fascinating, I could easily listen to hours and hours more of him talking about his life. That's the most engaged I've felt in I don't even know how long, thank you guys for having him on, I likely wouldn't have ever stumbled across such an absolute gem. This was truly a joy to watch, I had so much fun it's unreal, thanks for the treat!

Loved listening to Pete's story about teaching abroad. Towards the end of the story he sounded just like me and my colleagues who teach high school in the states. I find it funny that almost every teacher i know have a history of performing. Its part of the job, just depends on the level as to how much. As someone also born in the 80s its great how he is able to add to the things he does based on his unique experiences.
