It's very early on to close in the year, but
One of our staff is off to Osaka for some volunteer activities, this involves some special training to help British Nationals in Japan in times of crisis. Even though Japan is a relatively safe place to live, we still need to prepare for possible natural disasters and other events outside our control. If you are a British National (living in Aichi or Gifu Prefectures) reading this please feel free to contact me so I know you exist and make sure you are aware of up to date information from the British Embassy should a crisis occur.
