Farewell address

I finally have my Japanese address. I am going to be living in Passion Omiya in the OMD district. Perhaps I'll be greeted by Echo and the Bunnymen... Bob Dylan played there in 2001, so there's potential for some entertainment. I'll be sharing the building with another female teacher and who knows what else. Hopefully she won't be too square.

Yesterday I applied for my visa, Friday I have the last of my jabs, arranged for my case to be picked up and I've very nearly packed. All I have to do now is sit back and wait. Oh, and fret and fret like a rabbit in a foxhole.

I've just been told that Saitama City is the Croydon of Tokyo. Some would see a divine justice in my being posted there...
