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!

  1. Hey Julian!

    Glad to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear about your visa troubles. I had to wait ages for my visa for my previous job in Japan, so you have my greatest sympathy.

    I just got back to Japan on Monday, actually. As well as going back to England, I visited my brother in Prague. It's a very cool (and chilly) place.

    It's definitely not only RBS that's facing these problems, though I must admit the news lately has been fairly disturbing. I'm feeling positive about the long-term future too, and it'll be nice to know that I'm playing some part in helping to fix a global crisis, no matter how small!

    Any idea when you're likely to arrive? I guess it can be hard to predict, with visa applications.

    Anyway, see you soon!
