Outgoing Japanese ambassador to Australia, Shingo Yamagami, who is due to return to Tokyo on Saturday, took to Twitter this week to thank his driver Jim for ferrying him around in the embassy's Lexus since his arrival in Canberra in late 2020.
The ambassador, a class act, said Jim's "safe hands" took him to Sydney more than 30 times, Cowra nine times, Newcastle three times and the Blue Mountains twice.
