Posting this video because a funny thing happened to me last night. After a couple hours of karaoke I was about to leave the place with my friends when I was approached by some Japanese salarymen; “Matto Damon-san desu ka?” (Are you Matt Damon?). I said yes, sure I am Matt Damon. “Heee…Ohh.. Matto Damon san.. za bourne uritimatumu)
Well, that is about how fun I have, walking around impersonating Matt Damon.

Most are very friendly and supportive, and you also hear from a few with business proposals. I wrote an article a while back about the Japanese hair dresser QB. It’s a chain that offers fast and low price hair cuts. A few days ago I got this e-mail:

RE: QB HAIR DRESSING SALOON I am sourcing for contact details of QB Hair Dressing Saloon. I am planning to set-up the same concept in Saudi Arabia & the middle-east. Please help. Thank you. (name withheld)

So, someone read about QB on my blog and now want to start a franchise in Saudi Arabia? Wow! Well, all in a days work for a blogger.
