Embassy of Japan in London

Disappointed
To whom it may concern,

I am a half Japanese, half British person, who has lived in both countries. I currently am based in London. I have had to use and contact the Japanese Embassy in London regularly in the last three years.

I am absolutely shocked and feel very disappointed with how rude, unhelpful and incompetent every member of staff is I have ever come into contact with in the Japanese Embassy in London. Being half Japanese, I am in contact with many other individuals who have needed to contact the Embassy regularly and there seems to be a shared low opinion from the public of your staff.

I hope this point is taken seriously and addressed as I feel it reflects incredibly badly on a country I dearly love.

I work in customer care and understand that staff sometimes have bad days, however this has always been a problem every time I have been to the embassy and I would not send this email unless this was an issue I felt seriously about.

Malta Fund Raising for Japan
JAPAN EASE – a cultural event to help the victims of Japan

The Malta Comic Con and the Maltese Islands Cosplay Association (M.I.C.A.) are two non-governmental organizations which have in common a passion for Comics and Cosplay (costumed role-playing). Together they seek to encourage and promote this type of culture in Malta. Most of all, they share a sincere love for Art and Japanese Culture.
Following the wave of earthquakes, tsunami and the harmful radiating leaks that struck the beautiful land of Japan, leaving a trail of devastation and deaths in their wake, the Malta Comic Con and M.I.C.A. with the participation of Malta Japan Association and support of UNESCO, have teamed up in order to hold a charity event called JAPAN-EASE in aid of Japan and its unfortunate victims.
The JAPAN-EASE event will be held on Saturday 30th April from 10am at The Point Shopping Mall in Tigne Point. A whole day will be dedicated to Japanese culture, filled with cultural, artistic and entertaining activities.
There will be lectures on Bonsai Growing and on how to draw Manga. Other activities range from Manga-style artwork displays coupled with live drawing sessions by artists. There will also be Cosplay skits (short performances) in colourful costumes and various games like Yu Gi Oh.
An interesting feature is live music provided by the singers Natasha and Charlene and Clifford Galea who were participants in the Malta Song for Europe. Also taking part are Charles Dalli and Eric Calleja of X-Tend. There will also be Michael Robert Jackson, a talented Michael Jackson impersonator. Other activities include Japanese food, Martial Arts and life-saving demonstrations, traditional Japanese crafts, street magicians performing tricks.

JAPAN-EASE is aimed at exposing the Maltese to the rich and diverse culture of Japan in order to understand it more and appreciate it better. All gathered funds from the event will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross to help the victims of Japan in their hour of need.

All those interested in participating or helping in this event please contact Malta Comic Con (faintarrow@yahoo.com, Samantha.abela@gmail.com ) or M.I.C.A. (evabousksou@yahoo.com). May this charity event help to bring back some smiles and restore hope in the land of the Rising Sun.
