Today I went into town to meet Jo and Anna for lunch, and also met up with our new friend Tatty, who we met when we did the quiz show. We ate lunch in an Italian restaurant with an front that opens up onto the street, and shared a bottle of white, as it was Tatty`s 23rd. We then did a spot of shopping before reconvening for a coffee later on. We had planed to go to a lake and drink beer in the evening, but the rain put an end to that, so instead we ended up at the Irish bar for fish and chips and a pint. We met Anna`s successor, Freddy from Canada. She seems quite nice and friendly. We did a bit of print club before heading back to Anna`s to continue drinking.

We also met a few of the new JETs on the street when we came out of print club. They seemed...drunk. But I guess that is the best way to be in your first week in Japan.
