I’ve taken a day off work today (if you hadn’t noticed by the surge in blog posts), just to use up some of my annual leave allowance before the end of my contract. So I eventually got round to calling my local ward office to send me an application to receive 12,000 Yen! Yes, FREE MONEY. It’s part of the Japanese government’s initiative to boost the economy with fixed sum benefit scheme (teigaku kyufukin). I hope I can receive it before I leave the country.
