Right. And that was enough. I like to say that's a clever cover story. I lied. I just made up a lie. Right. Right there and then, because it was the easiest way. I couldn't say, look, I'm here to work out what's going on in your war zone in the east of the country, you know, because that's probably going to fuel your suspicion that I'm here.

But it turned out that unit had previously been in the east of the country and we got chatting. I had my pack of cigarettes and I dolled those up and we sat down and we got chatting and we spoke for about two hours, partly about terms and conditions and salaries, but also partly about conditions in the east.

Well, I was in a professional context, but I wasn't trying to conduct a licitation for intelligence reasons. I was working at that time with a Japanese bank, Stockbrokers in fact. And I'd gone to Tokyo, where I was basically schmoozing some clients. And the clients decided to take me to Roppongi. Now, Roppongi is effectively the red light district of Tokyo.

Absolutely bald face, let's go and sit in a bar and watch women take their clothes off, which is basically what it's all about, while drinking exorbitantly priced cocktails. Now, in the course of this, it became clear that if somebody was prepared to pay for it, you could also have a private dance in the back. And I was quite young, in my twenties. And I've never liked this sort of thing anyway.

But frankly, I was a bit terrified. I was like, you know, this is like... It's skeezy. It's skeezy. And I was not happy. But I was with clients. And they got a wodge of, yeah, and they're like, okay, we're going to pay for you to go and have a private dance. And this woman, Maria, in inverted commas, was allocated to me. And we went, it was a corridor, and down each side you just had little... Ja.
