Everyone's Favourite Irishman (and mine) in : "Boy do I own a lot of t-shirts"

Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you use slavery, I will attack you with the North," and these are the principles that I will carry with me in my exchange.

So, visa in hand, rounding out the trifecta of awful pictures along with the CoE and passport (the freebird rule applies, any combination of two are an unstoppable tag team of unflattering lighting and exposure issues that will knock out any possibility that you might ever find me attractive down for the ten count) I am now ready to trip over that penultimate hurdle of PACKING

CLOTHES EVERYWHERE

Easier than I thought to pick a load of clothes (lol I'm such a girl~~~ lmao rofl xd) , I should probably just toss the rest in the garbage but eh whatever somebody else'll do it maybe I guess. After further deliberation I just don't really care that much.

Just have to put a load of stuff for my Carry-on Up The Arakawa adventure into like a backpack or whatever and then what else do I have to do? I think that's pretty much it. Am I forgetting something?

Oh no wait hang on I remember I HAVE TO GO TO JAPAN

Sure can't wait to spend an entire day travelling and get jetlagged 'n shit

HOWDY GOZAIMASU Y'ALL-TACHI

My secretary tells me that having blogs is the in-thing. I never could pass up a good fad, so here we are, creating a space to tell everyone about how much I loathe LOVE my time in Japan as and when it happens. How exciting!

Well so far I have of course not GONE, so experiences are a little on the slim side. The horror at the picture on my certificate of eligibility is the standout so far, though sheer unbridled terror at attempting to read correspondence in Japanese is a close second. Finishing a joint third is filling out travel insurance and visa applications (I have no business looking at any of those, those are for grown-ups surely)

I don't have much else to say on the matter right now so until next time, here's a picture of former professional wrestler Kevin Nash circa 1998
