My friend from Australia is meeting her Japanese family in Osaka for the first time. Language is a problem however, and she needs someone to translate for a couple of hours on Sunday night, 29 April. Preferably a foreigner who has lived in Japan for a long time who is bilingual and understands the subtleties of both cultures. She'll pay 3000yen per hour. If anyone is interested or can let me know where I could find someone, please drop me a line at ilse_kumamoto@yahoo.com
