Congratulations on getting the job, everyone!

おめでとうございます！

Hi, I'm Simon. Some of you have already met me, but for those who don't know me yet: I'll be one of the Graduate Trainees joining RBS Tokyo in March 2009.

Yukiko-san asked me to set up a blog for all the new people joining, so that we can stay in contact. (We'll all be meeting in March, and then in Summer we'll all go to London for training. But for now, it'd be nice if we chat here.)

You can all write anything you want on this blog. Click "New Post" in the top-right of the window (or just add a comment by clicking "comments" at the bottom).

So, please don't be shy. Why not write a few words to introduce yourselves? I'll start. Here's some facts about me.
