Thinking About Japan
It is 70% likely I will have the chance to go to live in Japan for a year - in or near to Tokyo. This is clearly a big thing. I have known about it for a week or two but I only started taking it seriously yesterday lunchtime. There's a lot to think about.

I have never been there myself but know the sorts of things most people know.

The biggest stumbling block is being dependant on someone else for a year. I am not psychologically compatible with the idea of being a kept woman.
I would really like to be though.
If you heard it was 70% likely to rain, you'd take your umbrella. They have umbrella lockers in Tokyo.

And umbrella vending machines. It makes you wonder - they don't even have those in Manchester, and it's always raining there.
