Summary: Day one in Japan and the first official podcast episode is released. Its nearing the completion of my first full day in Japan, and I’m doing everything I can not to go to sleep while I fight this sore throat.<br> <br> ( photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/poptarts/">Sachama</a>Â [<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/poptarts/425034369/">original</a>] CC license)<br> Brief show notes in paragraph form: In the first few hours I randomly met someone who knows a mutual friend of mine, called the Japanese fire department accidentally while trying to place a phone call to a friend, ate cow tongue at a yaki-niku place, and made a few new friends at a tachinomi bar (picture included). Hear about it all in audio form along with my jet-lagged speaking full of uhhs and umms.<br>
