Good Reviews of "Teaching in Asia: Tales and the Real Deal"

It has been more than 24 hours since my first book was published on the Amazon Kindle store. I am very happy that I was able to finally see this writing project come to fruition and so happy that people have been downloading the book.

I plan to work hard in the coming days, weeks and months to promote it and make sure it gets a wide audience. So far, many people having been saying kind things over Twitter and on Facebook. People have also been writing some AMAZING reviews on the Kindle Store itself.


Here are just some of the great tweets sent to me (@jlandkev) on Twitter:

There have been many other amazing tweets and I am saving everyone of them!

This morning I woke up to find an email from the well-known Korea-based blogger Steve miller, aka "qiranger" who already did a review of Teaching in Asia: Tales and the Real Deal for his blog and You Tube. Check out his review video!



I appreciate all the great feedback! Thanks everyone.

When new reviews or interviews about the book occur, I'll post all the information right here!

Barbeque Season is upon us

It is been a dog's age and a half since I last updated this blog. I simply was simply busy with the everyday life of being a teacher, husband and soon to be father.

Things are great. It is the middle of the Golden Week holiday here in Japan. This is my third Golden Week in Jaan and willl probably be the most enjoyable.

Yesterday my wife and I were in Osaka. We were in the Shinsaibashi area and had a great little Indian lunch at a Persian restaurant called Hafez. I think it is pretty well known amongst the foreigner community in Osaka.

The food was great and the atmosphere was good as well. it was a beautiful sunny day in Osaka so everything just worked well.


More great food!


One great tradition many people have in Japan during the Golden Week holiday is to barbeque. Yesterday, after coming back from Osaka, my wife and I picked up a small portable charcoal grill. This afternoon we will have a barbeque in a local park with a few friends.

You can see the awesome eats we will have. I especially like the American Beef yakiniku set. It was under $10.00 which was a great price.


Although my interest in continuing my You Tube vlogging to the same extent as in the past was waning of late, I now have a renewed interest. I have been receiving a flood of new subscribers in the last week thanks to famous vlogger MisshannahMinx and now I am excited to produce more content. On my jlandkev channel (my alternative more bloggy channel) I have decided to post a blog everyday for the entire month of May.

Here is my first blog for May:


Expect a new one everyday.
