Relocation confirmed!
 

After months of negotiation and not a little delay, my relocation to our Tokyo office was finally approved on Wednesday.

Looking after my move, I now have: an international mobility specialist in London, an HR person in Tokyo, a visa consultant, a relocation consultant (in Hong Kong of all places) and a tax accountant.

This is amusing as three days ago, when nothing was certain, no-one was doing anything for me (well apart from the visa consultant), and I ended up hiring two Polish guys with a van to move my stuff into storage.

Anyway, please excuse this rather self-indulgent ramble. I hope to see some of the Tokyo regulars around - perhaps we should have a Tokyo DO!

Congratulations!

I hope it all goes even better than you hope.

Perhaps see you in Tokyo (again??? not sure)

Welcome to Tokyo... guessing you'll hit here around April based upon just getting the visa things started this week? Will be a good excuse for a chance to meet the Bear again.
