I don’t care what anybody says, that Mr Aso Taro chap who happens to be a manga fan and, incidentally, The Current Prime Minister Of Japan, is a jolly spiffing all round good egg.

He’s going to give me and all other honorable foreign devils ¥12,000 a head – something like $150 – in cash, no questions asked. We even get to keep our heads attached to our shoulders, I believe. All in the cause of reinvigorating the ailing economy.

By the time we get our mula, early next year, it will probably be worth about $500 and some other fellow will be The Current Prime Minister Of Japan. Whether Mr Aso Taro will get to keep his head or not is another matter.

I heard, the other day, that a lot of immigrant labour is having to pack its bags and leave Japan as the recession has caused a shortage of demand for concrete mixing. Perhaps it is just a cunning plan on the part of the Japanese authorities to save a bit of cash now that Mr Aso Taro has opened the palm of friendship to foreign devils.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I should invest my honorable windfall in? I hear that oil is quite cheap these days…

Since I am at last to receive some tangible recognition of services rendered to the Glorious Sons of Nippon of the last decade and a half of Toil in the Orient, I feel it somewhat incumbent upon me that I return the favour and invest my loot in 30 cans of Japanese lager and large it during the plum blossom season…

Seems only right really, and almost rude not to…

Kampai!
