What announcement does Andrew have for listeners in Tokyo?
A quick announcement before we get started with this episode, and this one is a special announcement for our Japanese listeners, in particular, the Tokyoites out there. Is that a word? Tokyoites? I'm not sure. But if you live in Tokyo, this is an announcement for you because we are going to have a Q-Lips meetup in Tokyo on Tuesday, February the 10th. Tuesday, February the 10th. And I would love to meet up with any Q-Lips listeners. It doesn't matter if you are just a casual listener or if you are a hardcore Q-Lips fanatic and are a Q-Lips member. It's open to everybody. And guys, the link for the details is going to be in the description for this episode. And to be honest, I haven't decided on a venue yet.
If you are a listener in Tokyo and think you could help me out planning a little bit and finding a good venue to host maybe 10 to 15 people, then that would be awesome. And yeah, we'll have a nice casual and fun meetup with some Q-Lips listeners in Tokyo on February the 10th. So check out the link in the description and yeah, let's do it. See you in Tokyo. Hello and welcome to bonus episode number 165 of the Q-Lips English podcast. How is it going? I hope you're doing well. My name's Andrew. I'll be your host and your study buddy today for this English language lesson. What we do here in the bonus episode series at Q-Lips is I just talk to you and I hang out with you and I tell you some stories from my everyday life.
I'm a Canadian, but I live abroad in Seoul, South Korea, and I hope by listening to my stories, you will be able to build your English fluency and grow your vocabulary and become a clearer and more confident communicator. To accompany this episode, there is an absolutely free interactive transcript and vocabulary glossary. They're awesome study resources and you can get them by following the link in the description. Plus, if you're a Q-Lips member, then you can also get a comprehension quiz. Yeah, so Q-Lips members, make sure to check out that comprehension quiz. And I got to say a big welcome and hello to all of the new members who have joined us recently. We had just a ton of brand new members sign up at the start of the year.
So guys, thank you so much for trusting Q-Lips with your English language education. And we're going to make a lot of progress this year. So it's great to have you aboard. Thank you to all the new members out there. Okay, so let's get started with this episode, guys. And in today's story, I'm going to tell you about my upcoming trip to Canada.
I'm going back to Canada. And you may be wondering, Andrew, why in the world would you go back to Canada in January of all times of the year, in January? For the same amount of money, essentially, you could travel to beautiful places around the world. I could go to Spain. I could go to Australia. I could go to Bali in Indonesia. I could go to Mexico.
I don't know. Beautiful places around the world I could visit for the same amount of money. But no, I decided to go to Canada in January.
Why?
Well, as I said at the start of the episode, I am from Canada and I gotta go back home. I live away from home, far away from my friends and family. And these days with technology, that's not as difficult as it used to be in the past. I can FaceTime my family anytime and have a video conversation with them and it makes things not so difficult when I live away from home because of technology. However, once a year or twice a year, I do like to go back to Canada and to see my family and see my friends. So that's why I'm going back to Canada here in just a little bit. So I'm going to tell you about the process of buying my plane ticket because it was actually a little bit of an ordeal and I've complained about buying plane tickets
in the past on Q-Lips. So maybe this is just a me issue. I don't know if anyone else has difficulties buying plane tickets or if you find it frustrating as well, then let me know in the discussion for this episode that we'll have over on our Discord server. But yeah, I think this is something that affects everyone who travels is that there's always a little bit of frustration with air travel.
