A Cold Freezin Night (Adventure)

You might imagine the desert to be a cold freezin place at night but not so.

You might imagine the desert to be a cold freezin place at night but not so.

My landlady recalls an adventure back in the sixties when the bus she was travelling on broke down in the Sahara desert, forcing its passengers to seek refuge in a small but simple village.

Julien Clancy likes stories that are deeply personal, sometimes funny, sometimes sad but always engaging. Originally from Ireland, he has moved to Japan for a year to try teaching English and to record a radio series for RTE Radio on other Irish emigrants who've also made a life for themselves here in Japan. This includes characters like the Irish sumo wrestler in Tokyo, the fake wedding priest living near Osaka and an incredible animal lover from Okinawa who helps the four legged friends of Tohoku.
