Adam Garrett, Minister for Asia (Homepage)

Well, there I was sitting by my computer, checking my e-mail when suddenly I got a message from this guy who says that he's my 'brother' and that we grew up together.  I didn't really know what to make of it all, particularly since the day that I bumped my head during a bungey jump over the bannisters to the hall (that's why they say "don't try this at home"), but it sounded like a good excuse to get himself into my cabinet through the means of nepotism.  So here y'are, Adam, Minister of Asia.  Now, here are his own reasons:

"After over 20 years in socialist capitalist Europe, I've packed my bags and
headed to the communist-heavy, asian-valued Far East in search of a pretty
Asian bride.

Despite still not having found a proper job yet, I've managed to convince
others to pay me for trips to Hong Kong, mainland China, and Singapore.

I've now decided to settle in Japan, where, although there's no bride yet
(despite my mother hinting that my father had got engaged by my age now),
there's plenty of karaoke parlours and cartoons to pass the time.

So having done a little bit of Japanese, Chinese and Korean language study,
and knowing numerous people from all of the aforementioned countries,
including one or two guys, I consider myself a true connoisseur of Asia (I
even ate chicken feet!), and argue that there is no-one better to be
Ambassador to the Far East than myself. (Does the fact I applied to the
British Foreign & Commonwealth Office, make me ineligible for Canada's 11h
Province? Canada, Britain, same thing right?)"

It seems kinda freaky to me that this Englishman is so enthusiastic about another part of the world, but there are some really weird people around, as my mummy keeps telling me.  Apparently, Adam Guy Orlebar Garret grew up in the same house as yours truly in Bozeat, Northamptonshire, went to Wellingborough School and then onto the University of Oxford (University College) to study for an MA in Engineering.  Well, he' s now through with that, but is currently living happily in Japan (somewhere north of Tokyo where it snows lots), and studying at an International university.

Adam has travelled extensively around East Asia, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Japan.  He has worked for Horiba in Kyoto (1998) and for Pfizer (yes, the guy's that manufacture viagra) in Tokyo (1999).

It's true, there may be guys who are better qualified than you to be MInister for Asia, Adam, but I don't know any.  So, merely by default, get your be-hind down here and show us what you're made off.  In return, we give you a company Nissan automobile, and a tiny little capsule that you'll call home, complete with kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, all within hand's reach (hey, the price of land these days is just phenomenal!).
