Under The Osakan Sun: A Funny Account Of Three Years In Japan

Written by the author who visits Japan to teach English. This book tells how he encounters an astonishing cast of characters - young women with clothing fetishes, middle-aged housewives who cook him meals in exchange for English conversation, an elderly couple who take him on a nerve-wracking expedition, and fellow teachers with eccentric habits.
