So Mike called me last weekend and said "Do you fancy helping out at an English seminar for Mikuni High School kids? Some students are being sent to Wales on a school exchange, so we're giving them some extra tuition and playing some games and stuff on Saturday. Wanna come?"
"Saturday?" I said.
"You get paid 4,000 yen", he said.
"Fair enough", I said, "I'll be there". It was only when I put down the phone that I realised 4,000 yen was only twenty quid. About half of which would be spent on petrol and tolls driving there in the first place.
Still, a good time was had by all, despite the fact that I only got two hours sleep the night before after accidentally going to a karaoke bar until five in the morning. But at least I stayed awake, unlike some people... Matt?
Thanks to Mike for a great day and a blinding curry afterwards - good work fella.

| This pencil case belonged to one of the students in Mikuni. I love the juxtaposition between the anti-establishment comments on the left and the cute kitten on the right. I asked the thirteen year old boy who owned this pencil case if he knew who the bloke to the left of Bush was. "Is it Putin?" he replied. |
