Well the interview didn`t go so well. It was only a pre interview one and I had an exit questionnaire in order for my next and final interviwe. It was with this goatee wearing slightly camp and irritated by every word I seemed to speak man. There was another candidate there as well - a nice 30 odd year old bloke from canada but he has been teaching in Japan for ten years and so was immensely qualified. What got me was well actually many things.

1 - I sent Mr interviewer a c.v but he couldn`t find it. This pretty much marked the beginning of the end. He made a big deal about this saying I need your resume. well mr richard you dick it`s not a resume but a fucking c.v. a curriculum vitae you american twat and you already have it. Don`t blame me for your own error.

2 - The bloke from canada was a git. He was a really nice bloke but he asked all the right questions at the right times leaving me with nothing to say. I am sure if the Canadian bloke had enquired after the possiblities of a blow job, Mr interviewer would have been frothing at the mouth with Yes masters and and a lecherous leer. I asked one question which got me some brownies locked up in a wardrobe - can I teach French and German. Oh you speak French and German do you? Yes I do you Canadian git and American wanker by the way so fuck you. ahem.

3 - I have seen a notice in the local Kansai Time Out, which is a magazine in English for Osaka and he is in there asking for prospective new candidates for the job. This is not so bad, I first heard of the job on the Internet in April. What irritates me is that there is no opening and training start until August at earliest and more likely September as they pay so bloody well. Now it is probably good business sense to do this but I am annoyed so bear with me on this one.

4 - I wore a suit. I`m sorry that`s it.

Yes so that`s it. After I was a bit depressed so I met up with Reiko and got a pint of guinness in a English bar The pig and whistle, which cost me 4 quid. That didn`t help either.

I fell asleep at 9 that day. I am still suffering from jet lag. I woke up at four this morning and had to have an afternoon kip for three hours. I am feeling much better now. I have been reading Doraemon which is a Japanese comic about (bear with me on this one) a robotic cat called Doraemon sent from the 22nd Century in a time machine in order to help a young Japanese boy called Nobita with gadgets he can pull out of his fourth dimensional pocket in his stomach. It sounds weird and well it is but it helps cheer me up. I am also reading the new Hary Potter book and I like that too.

I have just been to a karaoke restaurant. This is a new concept for me where you go into a small room for four people and sing your heart out and eat at the same time. This seemed quite bizarre to me but it was a lot of fun. My over the top rendition of My Way and Jailhouse Rock went down well and I managed to slip in a few Beatles` songs as well. They also have songs in Chinese and Japanese aha.

It is 22:15 local time here now and Tomb Raider is on in Japanese. Aha Goodbye
