I've only just reached London and the cab is due in three hours so this is going to be brief.  I got mugged by a taxi driver for a £40 journey from Waterloo to Finsbury Park and all he did the whole way was talk about being on pills.  On the plus side me, the Russian and the Bear have matching Casio digital watches that we're planning on 'synching' at Heathrow.

In true Jerry Maguire style I do have a Japan Blog Mission Statement.  Unlike Jerry though I doubt mine will lead to a lifetime of happiness with Renee Zelwegger (when she was hot) and an unbreakable friendship with Cuba Gooding Jr (when he was good - yes he was once).  It is, however, as follows:

1. I will not go out of my way to complete this every day, but will try my best to do so wherever possible

2.  This is a much for me, if not more so, than for you.  So please do not be afraid to not read it!  I will not be offended.

3. I will attempt to be as honest as possible.  Within reason.

4. I will not swear.  Because my Mum is reading this.

Well this is a first for me - never thought I would be joining in a blog! Only hope I am doing it right. I see you have 3 reports already and I'm not sure which one to reply too (perhaps I will put a few lines on each one until someone explained to me the etiquette of blogging.) Glad to hear you made it to North London, even if you were ripped off by a London taxi driver. Lets hope your remaining travel expenses are better value for money. It's nice to learn from your mission statement that I managed to bring you up as a nice young man who doesn't swear when his mother is around! Now I will go and read your report from Helsinki. Love and kisses (Mum's privileges)
