Subject: Coming to Japan in April!

Hi friends,

It's official! I am now definitely coming to Japan in April - I've been offered a job teaching English for the infamous Nova Corporation. Yes it will be 40 hours a week of tedious conversation for Y250000/month pay.

I'm hoping to play some good music while I'm there, maybe get into some nice ambient electronica and Indian classical stuff. And hopefully save up enough Yen to stay in India for a few years.

I don't know where I'll be sent yet - they'll tell me in March, I think - but I suspect I'll be in Osaka or Tokyo. All you nice folk I met in Varanasi, I'm hoping to meet up with y'all while I'm there!

Love to all,
Shen
