Hi Everyone!

I have been following the recent news releases regarding RBS and bonuses paid in the BBC and  it has left me feeling a bit down. It seems like the government has been quite heavy handed when dealing with RBS! Perhaps this is inevitable considering the current state of banks in general.

I'm pretty sure that RBS will weather the storm and be none the worse for wear when things finally cool off, and I'm looking forward to helping with that as much as I can.

I mentioned in an e-mail to Yukiko that I will most likely not be able to get a Visa by 2nd March, because of the processing time. I really hope this isn't too much of a bother for everyone else :(

...Am I the only graduate trainee who isn't in Japan at this time?

I really look forwards to seeing all of you soon!
