A Night in Fukuoka
October 25, 2005 @ 10:53 pm | Listen to this post
I’m finding it hard to keep my fans up-to-date with everything. Last Thursday I went to Fukuoka, Japan for one night to apply for my work visa. I know it sounds confusing, but basically it’s standard for teachers who get jobs in Korea to make a ‘visa-run’ to the Korean embassy in Japan, because Korean Law requires you to receive your visa outside of the country. It was a nice free trip, but it wasn’t like the Japan I’ve seen on Most Extreme Elimination Challenge or Lost in Translation. Fukuoka has an interational aiport, but that’s about it. The air was nice, but I really didn’t have any culture shock or get attacked by Godzilla. It actually reminded me of the States a little, because Japan is more westernized then Korean. I’m not going give up on Japan yet, because Tokyo and Osaka are still on my list for exploring.
The only thing I have to show besides bad pictures, is a video of me following a huge Japanese guy and I didn’t know my camera was set to video. I guess Japan has steriods too.
