Kevin talks about a hospital stay that was strange, odd, and much longer than he expected! What's it like to have surgery in a foreign country? What's it like to have surgery in China? He's back home recovering and working on the Supernatural Japan podcast.

It’s back to work after a nice Chinese New Year holiday in Xi’an, China. Kevin discusses a little about his first week back at work, the Supernatural Japan Podcast, and the frustrations of packages being delivered or not. He even mentions his upcoming surgery in China next week. Not something he’s looking forward to, but something that will make life a lot better once completed! The Expat “week in the life” podcast by a Canadian creative and educator living in China with his Japanese/Canadian family! Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BW5YUUKVs/?mibextid=wwXIfrNew Website:https://supernaturaljapan.com/Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/jlandkevhttp://www.instagram.com/supernaturaljapanBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/madformaple.bsky.socialX: https://x.com/MadForMaple YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BusanKevinMy other podcasts:Supernatural Japan https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/supernatural-japan/id1616675498

The second and last week of the Chinese New Year holiday is for Kevin in China. This week we’ve been tourists in Xi’an. We explored the New Year's displays atop the Xi’an City Wall. We also visited the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. I’ve also been working a lot on my Supernatural Japan Podcast as well. Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BW5YUUKVs/?mibextid=wwXIfrBRAND NEW WEBSITE for my main podcast: https://supernaturaljapan.com/Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/jlandkevhttp://www.instagram.com/supernaturaljapanBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/madformaple.bsky.socialX: https://x.com/MadForMaple YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BusanKevinMy other podcasts:Supernatural Japan https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/supernatural-japan/id1616675498Just Japan Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-japan-podcast/id846476649

In this lively new episode of Tales from Kevin, the holidays officially begin as Kevin shares stories from a packed week abroad, including his mysterious neck injury, a fascinating Metro shopping trip (think Sam’s Club, Germany-style), and an adventure through the Old City of Xi’an—complete with a surprise K-pop shop visit and some very questionable fake plum blossoms wired to the trees. Kevin also talks about dining at Xibei, checking out the brand-new Hama Sushi location in Xi’an, and watching his daughter tackle the climbing wall at a local bouldering gym. He talks about an interview with Peter Laws, explores an invitation to join a podcast network, and wraps up with warm community vibes from a staff potluck. If you enjoy personal stories, expat life in China, family moments, and behind-the-scenes podcast talk, this episode of Tales from Kevin is a must-listen.Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BW5YUUKVs/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/jlandkevhttp://www.instagram.com/supernaturaljapanBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/madformaple.bsky.socialX: https://x.com/MadForMaple YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BusanKevinMy other podcasts:Supernatural Japan https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/supernatural-japan/id1616675498Just Japan Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-japan-podcast/id846476649
