Business Card Etiquette, International Shipping, & Bikepacking Trip
05/14/24 • 47 min
This week Annie gets to visit an Elementary School and practice proper business card etiquette for introductions. Zeb is preparing for his biggest cycling race of the year this weekend, the Ontake Hill Climb, and Annie went on her first bikepacking trip in Toyama Prefecture. We also navigate the international shipping process for packages, and share the things we learned to do next time.
How’s the camping and biking on the Amaharashi Coast? Is mid-May the best time to visit Japan? And what do you call a litter box in Japanese?
Listen to the end of every episode to hear our Japanese "words-of-the-week," and head to @ramblingramsbothams on Instagram to see behind-the-scenes photos.
