stupid visas..

January 19th, 2006

despite plans of travelling around japan for quite a lengthy period of time, a sizeable evil force seems to be working against us when it comes to actually getting permission to leave the country.

Dear Ms. Haxjax

They(us going on exchange) will be able to receive the offer in the course of this month, however it need to apply for their certificate of eligibility.
I will apply for their certificate of eligibility about in the end of this month.
After that they will receive their certificate of eligibility in the early part of the March.
Accordingly they will be able to travel before they arrive at Haxtown about in the middle of March.

Kind regards,

Notsohax Japanman

a bit of information for those who haven’t heard me whinging: as an australian resident, we are allowed up to 90 days entry to japan with no visa. i will be staying for for longer than this on a student visa, which i have learned i will not be able to obtain in time for my originally planned departure date. no, i can’t get the visa while in japan because they like to cry. you can’t do anything about a visa unless you leave their country. it also takes 7 f’n days to process the visa in australia. w00t!

so in short, i will lose just over a month of travel time because of the sluggish processing of documents. what was going to be a relaxing cultural experience will no doubt turn into a rushed 10-15 days spent shopping at akihabara ^^;. ah well, can’t be helped i guess? at least darksith seems to be able to change his work leave to fit in with these new dates.

i’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about whether i want an apple or anything-but-apple notebook for my next purchase. this topic deserves its own article which i might get around to writing at some point… haha
