Hi Guys,
Just to let you know I have arrived in Japan safely. No major aeroplane disasters on the way out here this time!
As most of you will know I'm out here on secondment with Linklaters for 6 months. There are 5 other trainees here with me and a whole bunch of others from different law firms.
I am staying in a aparthotel called the Kitano Arms which is about 20 mins walk from our office. Its basically a travelodge (with a kitchen that I will never use) but is clean, comfortable and spacious.
I will be out here until March 2007, so if you fancy a trip to Asia then make sure you pop in on your travels!
