Birthday present from Nova

[aide]

I got my unpaid wages papers from Nova in the mail today!  Happy birthday to me, indeed.  I'm owed almost ￥350,000 but the Labour and Welfare Board is only paying 80%.  So I'm getting ￥278,000 which isn't anything sneeze at.  At today's rates, that's about $2600 CDN.  I just need to copy some documents and get that off in the mail tomorrow because who knows how long it will actually take to get the money into my account.  It might be another six weeks before that happens.  I know I should remit it directly back home and not touch the money, but I will take a chunk of it for traveling.  Andrew and I are going to Nagoya in April to visit Yvonne and she suggested that we all take a trip together somewhere.  I want to go to Kyoto and Osaka, and Nagoya is half way so what's a little bit further?  I don't know if Andy is down for it, since he's going to be paying out big money pretty soon to move into his own place.  But we're definitely going to Nagoya.

That is totally random... though I probably didn't know him (unless he did IB), I was only there for a year and a half.
