Signed, Sealed and Delivered

"But real adventures, I reflected, do not happen to people who remain at home: they must be sought abroad".

James Joyce - The Dubliners

My contract for Japan arrived this morning. September 23rd to December 19th, six classes a day times ten weeks, "business attire" mandatory, initial each page and return. Typically, no sooner had I decided to go than I had the chance of two permanent jobs here. Not that I have any regrets. Put it down to an itch, an obsessive curiosity, but like most people in this job I only started teaching as a means to live elsewhere.
