Through the Eyes of a Wombat

Well, it appears to have started already!
My certificate of eligibility has been sent out from Tokyo -- I need this to take to the Embassy and swap it for a working visa. Sounds pretty straightforward, but they are worried about time constraints, so they sent it FedEx.
To the wrong address.

FedEx tried to deliver my certificate today, in the wrong town, in the wrong state. Its only about 500km from here - and I simply don't have the time to even fly over there to collect it.

They promise it will be delivered by a courier on Wednesday.... here's hoping!

Its only getting a little pushed for time... my flight leaves Australia next Tuesday...
It will be interesting to see how this week pans out. I haven't got a lot of spare time - what time I do have is taken up with packing, preparing for departure, flying, and catching up with people I haven't seen for far too long.

As I prepare for departure, it's time to bring this old diary back into a more prominent position. I shall endeavour to keep posts in English as much as possible, though I can give no guarantees. Recently my readers have primarily read Japanese, with the exception of three people in America. I shall now be maintaining a Japanese language blog on Mixi, and keeping this for everyone back home to follow the observations and comments on life in Japan as viewed
