This past week was Zeb's birthday! We celebrated with pizza - but how is pizza in Japan different from pizza in the US?
We also get into the history of the bike in Japan, when it first arrived, and how Japan popularized a niche version of cycling in the 70s called "Pass Hunting" (峠の狩り).
Also this week, are city bikes called Mama-chyari or Chyarinko? How do you measure essay length in Japanese writing? And do you use a "Poke-ball" to catch Pokemon in Japan?
