Yesterday, was a bit of a spontaneous day. Usually my life is quite predictable, but over a night I decided that tomorrow I will to to Stockholm to get my visa. And just like that, I went with a last minute ticket. My train arrived in Stockholm at 17:30 yesterday, so i had had some time to kill before the embassy would open the day after. Thanks to my cousin and his girlfriend I had a really cosy evening at Södermalm at their appartment and we had some good food served as well,
ありがとうございます!
This morning, I woke up quite early so I wouldn't miss my meeting at the embassy. I took my stuff and to a nice 1 1/2 hour walk from Södermalm to Djurgården and then to the embassies. Of course, the first visible embassy was the great "Embassy of the United States of America" who made all the other embassies looks like shoe boxes. Typical American standard.
After a few minutes walk from there, I got to the embassy of Japan. Sugoidesune. The first thing I met at the embassy were all these signs. Of course written in Japanese. And I think it was by that time I got the feeling that "There ain't much time left until all the characters I will read will be like this" And also I got all cold, it felt so real, even though I'm in Sweden, it felt like I was in Japan. Lucky for me, the staff at the embassy spoke Swedish. If they would have started the conversation with "... konnichiwa" I would probably have fainted.
When I had received my visa, I felt this huge stone falling down from my shoulders, and now I know that there is no turning back. Just a couple of days more left in Sweden, then it's on.
Japan, here I come! いきます!(≧∇≦)
Well, that's all for today!
またね!
