How was your weekend guys? *smile* 15 days of Chinese New Year – 3 down, 12 more to go! Haha. Hope you’re having a good one with your families. *smile*
I spent half of the 1st day of CNY at Disney Sea and the other half at home nursing a throat infection and a bad migraine, but no complaints since I had the day off. *smile* Pics from Disney Sea up in the next post but meantime, I wanted to show you my Japan Alien Card! Hehe.
Just collected it this morning at the Shinagawa City Hall. *grin*
I know being called an ‘alien’ sounds really weird but in Japan it simply means foreign. *smile* Basically, the ”Alien registration” is a system used to record information regarding foreign residents in Japan. If you’re not a citizen of Japan and if you’re gonna be staying in the country for more than 90 days, you’ll need one of these cards, which is a pre-requisite to many things in Japan such as purchasing a mobile phone, opening a bank account or obtaining a driver's license etc.
The process of applying for this is not complicated and will just require an application form, your passport and 2 ID pics. Since the Japanese are so efficient, you only have to visit 1 counter to get this done and consequently collect your card in 2 weeks. *smile*
Wish I had a better pic tho…!!!! *laugh*
