The Last Resort Travel Cafe?
October 23, 2007
By Ken Worsley
According to their website, a firm named “Last Resort”, which offers study and work abroad programs, has teamed up with another company named Travel Cafe to open a “Last Resort Travel Cafe” in Tokyo’s Kamedo Station.
They look like they know what they’re doing, but the name “Last Resort” strikes me as odd for a firm that helps people seek work and study opportunities abroad. Is the Bank of Japan their shareholder of last resort?
The best part of Travel Cafe’s site is the picture of Juan Valdez. He sure is getting younger. Has he been rebranded?
