Expat Insights: Tony Joh Talks Travel, Fitting In…and Moving Back to Asia? [Season 4, Episode 13]

Greg interviews Tony Joh, an old friend and co-host of
Season 1 of the Bangkok Podcast to reminisce about their true
noob status as pioneer podcasters and re-living their early
successes (and screw-ups). 


Tony then explains his move to Japan and how he liked his
job (at first) due to his ability to work from home (and avoid
Japanese corporate culture). Lo and behold his small company was
bought by a big corporation, and Tony was required to work in the
office, significantly decreasing his job satisfaction. Tony and
Greg trade stories about working for Asian companies (which Greg
has done in the past), and compare and contrast Japanese and Thai
culture. 


The last stage of Tony's journey was to move back to
Canada, where he has been for the last year and a half. Tony
recounts his re-adjustment to his home country, and ironically
talks about how weird it is to have everything work well and
being 'normal.' This leads to his possible interest in heading
back to Asia for more adventures, because, let's be honest,
Asia's where it's at. :)
