Day 1384 (Captain America The First Avenger )
Monday, January 2, 2012
Stayed in all day blogging about my Okinawa trip (previous blog). Then watched Captain America the first Avenger. I thought it was going to be terrible but it wasn't so bad actually. I give it a 6/10.

Day 1386 ( Immigration Office )
Wednesday, January 4, 2012
My Japanese visa will expire on March 20, 2012 so I went to the Immigration office to renew it. Last time I got a 3 year extension. But that was in Okayama where there are not many foreigners. I get the feeling that because the city has so many foreigners, they might give me only a 1 year extension.

I believe Japan changes Prime Ministers so regularly because of their perfectionist nature. They demand perfection in everything so is pure pressure.
