Driving Licence Balls up

Well it looks like my supervisor was wrong and Debbie's was right.

I drove all the way to the Driving Licence Center in Nagaoka, showed them my documents and asked, in my best Japanese, "Can I change this for a Japanese Licence, please?". The guy was really patient and tried to explain that he couldn't go it here, it had to be done in Niigata and and that I also needed a translation of my licence. So the same process that Debs had to go through. Just brilliant.

I guess it's my own fault for not trying to sort this out earlier. If I had gone found this out last month, then I could have sorted out teh translation and things by now. But I didn't, I stuck my head in teh sand again and hoped it would go away.

Anyways, my Fuji Rock starts today so let's concentrate on having a wicked time eh?
