GEOS Bankruptcy


The recession has still got a firm grasp around the Japan's neck. Empty shops and sales, symptoms of an unhealthy economy. I am told that the unemployment office is busy too. One of the casualties of the recent financial troubles is GEOS, the company I worked for. Sadly, for everyone in Nobeoka who was someway connected to the school, the company has accumulated huge debts. On the 21st April 2010, the company filed for bankruptcy, meaning my job had evaporated into thin air. Many students had paid huge amounts of money upfront. It doesn't look like they will be able to retrieve it.

Emotions are mixed in such situations; anger, disbelief, despair are only a few. Time will not replace what once was had, but time allows the dust to settle and life to continue.
