I am officially a registered Alien in Japan! Yeay! Now I can get a phone, open a bank account, find part time work and get health insurance for $20/mo. Yes, you read that right. $20/mo!
Also today I start orientation! I hope it's in English...they have school on Saturdays here too. But they have sssooooo many holidays we don't!
Tomorrow I'm meeting up with the French girl I met in the hostel to go to hanami - the sakura flower blooming festival! I have wanted to see this for years but flights are marked up dramatically during the flower season; it's a huge tourist attraction. But it's not just about the flowers. Apparently it's just an excuse for business men to get raucously drunk! If you've never seen a guy in a suit trying to lean against his equally inebriated colleague, shouting obscenities and giggling, it's a sight to behold!
HA! Speaking of drunks, I was walking through the Shinjuku train station at night and there was a drunk dude jabbering with his pants around his ankles, just hanging out in his boxers. Seriously. HILARIOUS!
Off I go to get some socks and underoos. And pants. And food.
