It is is very strange as Jimmy has not mentioned anything - as you say maybe it is just talk between them. I used to work for a Japanese company and went to Japan many times - it is a wonderful country. Yes, I will be leaving here on Fri 6th Sept for a direct flight to UK to see my mother for her birthday. I will then leave UK sometime after 21st Sept to come to Thailand to see you. I am just hoping that we will somehow be able to have some time together. I will of course let you know the flight details when I have them. Don't worry, will delete all messages.
