Geri o Shimasu: Adventures of a Baka Gaijin invites readers on a witty, unfiltered romp through 2008 Japan as experienced by Alia Luria, a self-proclaimed "clueless foreigner." Luria dives headfirst into the quirks and challenges of Japanese culture, from decoding onsen etiquette and enduring public embarrassment to exploring the oddities of love hotels and the loneliness of bustling crowds. With laugh-out-loud anecdotes and moments of poignant self-reflection, she unpacks the universal hilarity and humanity of navigating the unfamiliar. Whether she's fumbling through train etiquette, braving bizarre foods, or embracing the messy beauty of cultural exchange, Luria's candid storytelling is blunt, occasionally cringeworthy, and always unapologetically real. This collection is a hilarious and heartfelt reminder of the chaotic, awkward, and transformative adventures that shape us all.

Praise for this book
Geri o Shimasu: Adventures of a Baka Gaijin is a wild, irreverent ride through the misadventures of a foreigner navigating life in Japan. The book blends humor, cultural clashes, and absurd situations into a series of short, punchy stories. The author doesn't hold back, offering brutally honest, often self-deprecating accounts of mishaps, misunderstandings, and strange encounters with the locals. It's a mix of travelogue, comedy, and a deep dive into the quirks of Japanese society, told through the lens of someone who is clearly both fascinated by and out of their depth in the culture.--LITERARY TITAN
