Immigration Day

I was planning to finish up all my paperwork today to get ready for my trip tomorrow. I had to get up early in the morning to go to the High School I will be working at. I arrived early like usual and EK arrived late, like usual. But this time he received a call from the president of the school, actually his assistant to say that he can't meet with us today. So EK and I decide to go to the Immigration office in Yokohama anyways to finish up the paperwork. When we got there, the lines were pretty short especially since it was an immigration office.

But it doesn't seem that many people want to live in Japan for some odd reason. I only had to wait 10 minutes, which is unheard of in the United States, well at least in San Diego. We later found out that we didn't have all the necessary papers to apply for my certificate of eligibility. Which in one word, Sucked. That means that I would have to go to the immigration office again the next day, when I had a reserved ticket to go to Niigata early in the morning. It was too late to go back to the High School and come back to turn in all the papers, so we had to do it the next day.

So we are just lounging in the immigration office, EK decides to take a nap because he was up all night finishing up something for me. Or that's what he says. I have no idea. Later we were supposed to met a "friend" of his. She's a friend of mine too, but more of a "friend" to him. She was in Yokohama for the day, and to be honest with you, I forgot she was even alive. She disappeared into thin air leaving school without much notice and all of a sudden turns up in Yokohama. I always had suspected him with her, but well... we'll see.

We met up with her and I didn't want to be a third wheel so I called up MTka after she finished work to see if she wanted to hang out. She had the time so we all met in Shimbashi Station to go to dinner. First we went to a computer store so I could show her which Wireless LAN to buy so she could have internet at her house, but she didn't have enough money to buy it.

Then we proceeded to go to dinner. We ended up at a German restaurant. The food really wasn't good, but The girls enjoyed themselves with Beer and Smokes. While the guys enjoyed the juice and water. Kinda weird feeling to be honest with you. I could feel some tension building between MTka and EK. It was funny to see, but I'm sure KM was very awkward since it was the first time she met MTka.

After dinner we went to Karaoke at Big Echo. We stayed for a few hours and like usual, EK sings the really difficult songs that don't sound good. He also likes to hog the microphone and quits half way through the song. The girls really enjoy themselves because they are borderline drunk. But they smoke like a chimney. I could hardly breathe. We really sang over our limit because we almost missed the last train to get back home. It was actually kinda bad since after I get back to the train station I still have to walk home, and I'm wearing a suit and it's hot as hell like usual. I know, my tone doesn't sound good, but it was because we didn't get what we needed done. I really wasn't mad, I enjoyed myself and everything always turns out alright anyways.
