Setback!

I knew I was about due for a setback. The wonderful RealGap I keep banging on about have informed me that their cousins in Japan have pulled the plug on the Japan Working Holiday programme. This is a pain in the arse but not fatal. It just means I won't have their help in finding a job and somewhere to live. And there won't be anybody to meet me and show me about when I get there. I'm going to be alone for the first few days. A stranger in a strange land.

The good thing to come out of this is that I will get a refund, so that means I have an extra £600 in my bank which will come in very very handy. I need every spare penny I can get my hands on at the moment.

On a lighter note. See that red diamond on the top right-hand corner of this page? If that turns green, that means I'm online and if you click on the link you'll be able to chat with me. Click on it now, anyway. See, it's my own little chatroom at the bottom of the page. It only works when I'm logged in though which is a shame. I'll leave little notices saying when I'm likely to be online and y'all will be able to meet me there.
