Hello and welcome to Bonus 168. How's it going? Thank you for clicking play and joining me for this episode. I hope you're doing okay. My name is Andrew. I'll be your humble host and study buddy for today. And what I do here in our bonus series is I tell you some stories from my everyday life. I'm a And I hope that by listening to my stories, you will be able to build your fluency, increase your confidence, grow your vocabulary and to become a better and clearer communicator. So if those are some of your goals, then you're in the right place. I have to start off this story with an apology because last week I promised that I was going to tell you about my recent trip to Canada, but actually I got super sick and I lost my voice completely.
I couldn't even talk. And so... Recording a story and uploading it was just out of the question. It was impossible. So maybe you can still hear in my voice a little bit. I'm not quite over my sickness yet, but yeah, my voice has returned. Thank God, because, you know, as a podcaster and a teacher, my voice is my moneymaker. So I really need my voice. And yeah, it's back. So I'm happy about that. And what I'm going to do instead of telling you some stories about my recent trip to Canada is actually tell you about getting sick because it's in my mind, it dominated my life over the last week. And so guys, I'll save the Canada stories for the next week. And here I'm just going to tell you a quick shorter version of kind of getting sick and recovering because it is a little bit of an interesting story.
And like I said, it's been dominating my life over the last week. And just before I get to the story, don't forget to grab the interactive transcript and vocabulary glossary for this episode.

Hi, everyone. I have a quick question for you. Do you ever feel confused about using the English words make and do? A lot of English learners find these two verbs tricky.
What unexpected event occurred during Andrew's trip to Tokyo?

So with that being said, let me jump into my story for this week. And if you're a regular listener of Q-Lips, you'll probably know what's been going on in my life a little bit, but I'll just catch you up quickly. So I spent a week in Canada. That was about three weeks ago now. And then I came back from Canada and I came back here to Seoul where I live in South Korea and and I spent a week in Seoul. And then after spending a week in Seoul, then my wife and I went to Japan. We went to Fukuoka, Japan, and we spent four days in Fukuoka. And then after that, my wife went home first, back to Korea, whereas I continued on traveling in Japan. I flew to Tokyo, and then I spent two days in Tokyo. One day, I watched a concert,
One of my favorite bands of all time is called My Bloody Valentine, this shoegaze band from Ireland who really, really don't release albums very often or play concerts very often. And they're getting up there in age. So I thought I really need to take advantage of this opportunity that they're playing constantly. kind of close to me. I mean, I guess Tokyo is kind of closer than Ireland for me to travel to from Seoul, right?
