We were taught how to make traditional Japanese food by an 80-year-old Japanese Grandma! Adam's first day in Tokyo was spent treating Alun to (one of) the best birthday presents he's ever received. If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine and wondered how to make onigiri, or whether Alun can make onigiri better than Adam can, the answers lie within... Oishi!

Speaking of delicious, Adam also shares a story from the famous farm involving an old sheep, dog food, and some sweet, sweet revenge. And if he had the chance, he would do it again!

Do all Thai massages have a happy ending? Adam shares a recent story from his travels in Thailand, where he was left flustered and confused by a Thai masseuse who gave him the wrong idea... or did she? If you're travelling to Thailand and intending on getting a Thai massage, use this episode as a lesson or a warning. It would seem Thai massages can be every bit as spicy as the food.

Support the show and access the Lost & Found section. The awkward backpacking stories continue, as Alun describes a service he received in a bath house in South Korea. Let's just say he scrubs up well.
