That would indeed be brilliant. I phoned my bank earlier and the lady said I'd made her crave Chinese!

Edit: and apparently the beansprout industry is key to gauging the Japanese economy!

It's a tough one - I think we need another clue.

In the mean time I'm going to guess that it involves managing a crack team of cable-laying ferrets.

For me - engineer, oil and gas industry but an office job with only infrequent trips offshore (more frequent trips to other offices for meetings though). I've worked for both operators and engineering contractors and so far have worked in Australia, UK, Vietnam, China, Malaysia and Indonesia.
