The kitchen in the kenkyushitsu is better equipped than the one for everyday use in my burrow! Its mainly the same, two gas burners, hot water unit, sink, but the one here in the uni has a microwave, AND a toaster oven as well.... maybe I should come here to try making a pie again...

The search for escaping Japan is looking promising. Ive found a flying school in Bloomington who are more than happy to help me through the paperwork for getting a visa to America, though we arent sure how they get their paws on a form I-20M. Anyone been down this road and could help me out, I'd be much appreciative. If I cant get the student visa, then I can still go flying on a tourist visa, but wont technically be able to get any endorsements added... though this is not necessarily a bad thing, because I will need to be checked out on everything once I get back to Australia to satisfy CASA anyway...
My other option is a 6 month tourist visa - need to apply for that one, make a trip to the embassy anyway, because just turning up at the airport means I could only stay for three months... and from today that would limit me to the end of July... when I have to stay at least until early September...
Seems pretty straightforward to get any visa issued though... Im not a terrorist, after all.
Cant wait...

41?
