how to waste a day trying to get your visa renewed. (works best when extremely hung over. one cup brand sake worked for me)

step one

head off to the local city office by bike. make sure to bring a map but then put it back in your bag....your far to clever to use it.

step two

ride in any direction you please because you "think it might be over there" or "ive got a feeling its over this way". They dont just put city offices anywhere do they? there has to be an aura

step three

Stop and ask people for directions with strange Japanese like "excuse me where is here?" "where am i?" and then dont pay attention when they answer (this is where you need to be wall eyed hungover)

step four

arrive at the city office. take a number and sit down, you dont actually need to.

step five

when the lady asks you if you need help just smile and say no thanks when really you cant tie your own shoelaces.

step six

discover that you didnt actually need to go to the ward office, you need to go to immigration instead. Curse your company for not telling you and then read the letter again and notice that the first sentence clearly states immigration office.

Repeats steps two and three all the way home.
