The weekend

quite a hectic week this week, we've had a big audit so that meant 3 incredibly difficult days with all our work being scrutinised to the 'nth' degree, which means that you have to bite your tongue a lot and has been quite a stressful week. ive spent the past 5 years auditing other companies, so its hard to be on the wrong end for once. so am looking forward to the weekend. plans include friday night, going round to a friends house to chill out and watch episodes of House or a film of some kind. saturday is the japanese company who we have a joint venture with's annual golf tournament. apparently its at a championship course..its costing £90 for the round! gold here is very expensive, and i had to buy all new clubs and stuff as mine are in the uk. i literally havent played for over 2 years. my big boss from the uk is over this week and he is playing also. we went to the driving range last night, and needless to say, saturday might be a very long day indeed! also considering ill have to be up at 5 to play! apparently im playing with the presidents sister...which could be politically tricky... they have also made me favourite to win..based on what when i dont know! and there is apparently a big cash prize for winning...god only knows what the etiquette is if i win...

saturday night a few engrish guys from work are going into town for a few beers, nothing big just a few, there are a few bars where all the expats go, mainly teachers so we'll probably go to the usual.

sunday, we have a football match next to the big swan football stadium (where england played denmark in the 2002 world cup). sunday afternoon and evening...is free...so may get to rest..

oh, and what is going on with the england football team? 2-0???? havent seen any of it as football doesnt happen on tv here...whats going on???

("and our rice is better than yours...")

sorry, that was the song that our supporters made up last year. Niigata is famous in japan for having the best rice as the climate is pefect here and there is natural spring water etc...
