Man daft punk is gonna be awesome.
Japanese concert tickets are weird to buy, though. You have to set up an account and it's all weird and in fucking moon language and man it will be worth it.

scarlet dude buy me a guitar wolf t-shirt while you're there
Don't forget to go up to the top floors of a few places and try on their cosplay stuff. I can picture you looking purty in a maid outfit with a dog collar.
Oh dude, I might be going to the Philippines in July. I guess someone's mom owns a condo? Something like that. Anyway, lemme know if you'll be around.
i think ill go to japan in january til march
its either that or sit in front of my computer for a couple months unwashed watching movies and tv and jerking off until all regular porn does nothing for me
id go sooner but my mother had to go and decide to turn 50 and make me stick around for it instead of being able to max out my nonvisa period and probably all my money plus emergency credit cards
so i guess i will still be spending a significant amount of time sitting around at home before i go
and at least this way i will be surrounded by freakish porn right when i need it most
I'm going to miss you, man. Seriously. And don't think for a second that I'm not going to hold you to that roadtrip when you get back. We're doing it, even if I have to drive all the way to fucking Minnesota to pick you up.
oh and then after coming back from japan i will be going to india in march where i get to hang out with my awesome norwegian cousins and go to a wedding at a palace
Oh hey guys so I might have more time Stateside than I thought!
Someone at the study abroad program fucked up and placed me in the Intensive Japanese Language program (which is at a different school, so the guarantor on your visa app is different) instead of the Society & Culture program. So I listed a different guarantor on my visa app than was on my Certificate of Eligibility (a legal Japanese document that you need to get a visa).
My passport should be arriving via FedEx any time before 10:30. It will, with 99.9% likelihood, not contain a visa stamp. So what does this mean? I have a couple options. I drop another $30 to FedEx it back to them with the "correct" visa info (even though I intend on switching programs when I get to Japan), and another $30 for them to get it back to me. This will take roughly three, maybe four days total. I would have to change my flight to Japan and arrive at the program late.
The other option is for me to go to the airport in the next few hours and get a ticket to Chicago to process my visa in person. This saves me from having to rebook my ticket to Japan, at any rate, and I'll be on time for the program.
I don't think the program is going to offer to help pay for this. I don't have the money for this. I am so fucked you guys. I'm cashing in the rest of the savings account that my parents opened up for me when I was born. That'll net me something like $1500. I am so fucked.
Have fun! Maybe I'll see you there. Though probably not since I'm going to Himeji City to attend my brother-in-laws wedding. Also, I don't really know you and we've hardly, if ever, spoken on these forums... so ok, have fun.
If you want some advice, try to resist the urge to hangout with the other English speaking students. My wife moved to America when she was 18 and the smartest thing she did was to pull herself away from the little Japanese cliques that existed all over the schools she attended. She hung out almost exclusively with American kids and within 3 years, she spoke more natural English than most Americans do.
Damn man, I'm excited for you.
Edit: shit.... didn't read that last page...

"What you had there is what we refer to as a focused non-terminal repeating phantasm or a Class 5 full-roaming vapor."
I say just go to chicago and handle that stuff personally. It'll cost extra, yeah. But man, you're all set for the trip anyway, why not stop by chicago and pick up some deep dish pizzas? And changing flights this late can be a big headache. And who knows if those dudes screw up again somehow if you send it off by mail.
