TRAVEL IN JAPAN INFO SESSION

If you're interested in travelling Japan but have any doubts, this one is
for you! Topics discussed include booking your ticket, getting around,
accommodation, and interesting places to go from the mouths of fellow
students who have done it themselves!
We also have a special guest, freelance journalist Carole Goldsmith. She
works in Japan and across the Asia Pacific region for Asian media, and has
extensive overseas travel experience. She also teaches a short course at
the CAE: ‘Japan on a Budget’

VOTE FOR DAN!
----------------------------
Dan is one of our Japanese Club members… and he’s got talent! On Sunday,
he appeared on the Channel 7 TV show Australia's Got Talent and is hoping
to make the final and have a shot at the grand prize of $250,000!
“Its only one vote per phone, so I'm not asking you to break the bank for me,
but each vote from each individual is going to be important.
My Heats routine is on youtube, and you can see it there.

My Semis hasnt appeared yet on youtube, but it was with a crazy new outfit
and i did a whole bunch of new tricks. So please please please vote for me,
I'd really love it if you did.
How to Help Dan Make the Final of Australia’s Got Talent!
The Voting Regulations
1. Only one vote per phone or mobile, so that means you cant send
multiple votes from the one number.
2. Vote either by a phone call or an sms or both
3. You cant vote through computers
4. If your phone is a no caller id phone, which means that your
phone wont tell the person on the other end where you are calling from,
then your vote wont be counted
5. The voting lines close at 12am this Tuesday (17th of april)
6. I think for the SMS its safer to make it in capitals
What to do:
1. Vote on your own phone
2. Vote on all your family’s phones
3. Have the SMS number as your msn name saying ‘SMS FOOTBAG’ to
1975 5555 on your mobile, then call 1902 55 333 8 on your house phone
4. Talk on msn to your friends and tell them to vote
5. Go to big social gatherings, and ‘borrow’ your friends phones,
and send the SMS from there
6. Send a mass email, asking all your friends to vote and attach these
instructions
7. Stop people in the street and ask them to vote
The Numbers
� SMS ‘FOOTBAG’ to 1975 5555
� Call 1902 55 333 8 and that will register the vote
Thankyou!”
