After asking Masa to be my guarantor, and him kindly agreeing, the estate agency phoned him up and took all of his details. The pay slips that I spent 9 hours going to get in Utsunomiya yesterday were acceptable by the estate agent too. That with one business card was enough to start the financial check process. Takebe-san of my previous company was very understanding too. He says he'll vouch for me being an INCAT employee so that my story checks out. The financial check takes 2 or 3 days. Everything shuts down in Japan from the 2nd though for a week. I hope we can get a decision by then. Well, all I have to do is wait now, and go and meet Ed, Aki and Martine for a curry in Shinjuku:

Goto!

My colleague at INCAT Japan, Masanori Goto, a slave to the Japanese way of Living. Works from 8am to midnight, weekends are taken up sleeping in his car so he can be first on his favourite slot machines which he will play on all day. What a top bloke though.
