To realize his dream of full-time sword fighting with the world's best, Stefan sold his apartment and left home for the International Budo University in Katsuura, Japan. This unique book offers you a hilarious roller coaster ride of Japanese culture like Stefan experienced it during his year as a Special Course student at IBU. You will meet the spirit of the modern samurai which is about rigorous daily dojo training, but also deals with parties, diplomacy, friendship, social hierarchy, sex, zazen, sensei, haiku, karaoke, raw foods, hot sake, saying sorry, bending rules, skipping class, taking tests, crashing cars, black belts, white rabbits, space toilets, sky sharks, smurf hill, tournaments, slippers, fireworks and beach golf.
