So nothing really has happpened that was different than before.  Reiko did really well in her job interview.  So well that whilst she was on the train to meet us in the city centre they called her back for a second interview straight away and now she has a third interview on Thursday.  This puts my interview with Berlitz in perspective since I haven`t had any news since June.  Good luck Reiko again!

And that`s about it.  I bought a Sherlock Holmes collection from a bookshop with English books in, watched some more Michael Moore and visited some more Onsen.

So I thought I would teach you some Japanese.  These words are how they sound and not how they are spelled but anyway.
