The BBQ















I called the folks back home just in case there was any news back in the UK about the quake and to be honest, we didn't really think much more about it. Apparently there was a mild aftershock while we were playing football, but that had nothing to do with me despite some wild accusations. Playing football against your average Japanese guys is a bit like playing against kids when you weigh 30 or 40 kilos more. When you go into a 50/50 tackle there is only going to be one outcome. The other team we quite happy that 'Godzilla' was on their side. The reason I have no top on is purely because in order to recognise my team members, it seemed like a good idea at the time!

One of the great things about knowing people in the resaurant business is that when they have an out of work event, you're pretty much guarranteed that the catering is going to be pretty damn good. This was no exception! So much food!

It wasn't really until I got back to work that the magnitude of the earthquake became more apparent - world news in fact and I had a number of e-mails from friends enquiring as to whether I was buried under rubble.
