Spent the morning doing web work, then in the afternoon it was off to the Teaching University here to have a chat with one of the teachers who’s going to be in charge of a new Elementary School English Teacher Training Programme. That went quite well ( I even got offered a job, which of course I haven’t got time for, wish I had, it could be fun!), and hopefully I’ll be able to help him out next year.

Then a few more things to do and then back to the hotel at 6. And it appears that the Owners Club was hit by another massive virus attack today, which somehow had set up a loop on the net that would have generating an infinite amount of email, had I not stopped it. But it was going to take the computer a good few hours to process all the backlog and sort things out. And as I also have no clothes left I went out to find the local coin laundry.

And that was a bit weird. Although I was listening to Anthony Robbins on my iPod, being in this most run down of run down coin laundries just felt like I was back where I was four years ago. And I had a long walk back to the hotel, where I had time to think about a lot of things. For many reasons which I haven’t written up here, this week has been very, very tiring, and tonight was another one of those times where I look around and just think “Flippin’ ‘eck, I’m in Japan. This is just crazy”
