Isnt Japan a touch expensive to be staying long term?It's nice and warm though
One day when lock down hits I'll get google translate out, but for now the morning uncertainty is a lesson for the day

Per diem expenses more than cover living even before wages, though not that much more than London here. Still on site 6 days a week though that will likely change before too long once the infection rate gets going.

I seem to remember my ex-wife's mother's favourite perfume was "Afternoon in Bhengazi". ?

On interesting Oriental fragrances, I’m sure lots of us have read James Clavell’s novel “Noble House”.
In the opening chapter the heroine steps out of a plane at Kai Tak and asks what the smell is, and is informed that it is “the smell of money”.
It was the smell of the Kai Tak nullah, and money was not what it contained.

The second time I flew in a big white bird was to Saudi Arabia. As they opened the door, that unmistakeable smell of Arab land entered, a hot mixture like sweaty feet, and a background of sweet crude. The agent to meet me failed to show, one of the chaps I met on the plane took pity on me and his parents put me up for the night. Next day we found out that the agent had been to a party and was too pissed to pick me up. My first inkling that Saudi was not as dry as they said! Good old sadiki!

typhoon season between now and then, can't really leave massive structures half built so still stuff to be getting on with. Some contractors run for home already.
