Sure, if you somehow manage to pay for me. A flight halfway across America, then over the Pacific, is not my idea of cheap.

To be fair, on this site, there are probably more people from the band than in the country.

For a free flight, get an internship that offers one 😵

No assistance whatsoever.
Pay for your own ticket & hotel & beer/sake/shochu/whatever etc.
I've got a board and 24 chessmen, so bring your own queen, king, bishops, knights and castles, sleeping bag and sarnies...

his post tells you, king, queen, knights, bishops and rooks. Although he doesn't say what colour is missing.

Actually, all the pieces are the same colour, a kind of bluey-green. They're just pebbles I picked up from a beach. But I've only got 24 of them. I use a bit of newspaper for the board.

So, who's coming to the meet?

How about an airship?
Starship?

Bit late now, l just left Japan a few weeks ago. l won't be back until late next year. Maybe then? Although l will be in commuting between Tokyo and Fukuoka, l could always take the Shinkansen and stop off!

Cheers

Hmm...

I don't think an arrival in Japan by airship would go down too well with a potential employer.

It's unfortunate in many ways, but all companies I'm aware of have failed to incorporate a "free flight by starship" into their deals with students. Although with the Chemical Companies, it's possible to synthesis those substances traditionally used for 2001:A Space Odyssey - not such a flight as a trip
