Well, I finally received the last of my paperwork for my Visa in the mail yesterday, so I spent today on a seemingly endless quest to fill out and mail all of that paperwork. This makes me wonder, yet again, why nothing is easy. It sounds simple enough: fill out papers, put in envelope, mail. Why isn't it? I did all of my work. I went to the Japanese Embassy website and looked up all of their information on turning in my passport for my visa. I gathered all of the materials that were required of me and realized that the information that the website said to gather did not amount to the same information that Toyo had said that I needed to send. I decided that I would be better off calling the embassy and making sure they didn't need the extra paperwork that Toyo told me that they needed. Well, I got tossed around from person to person until I ended up speaking with a very irate sounding Japanese man who couldn't understand me very well. I thought that was funny because the words that he couldn't understand were words that I knew in Japanese, but I couldn't do the entire conversation in Japanese, so I was afraid to say them. Anyway, after he finally figured out what I was asking and that I actually had the paperwork he needed, he wasn't mad at me anymore; he then focused his ire on Toyo. He told me that I needed to call them and have them change their forms immediately. Everything else went quite smoothly, but it was very frustrating that the first Japanese person I talked to was pissed at me.
TLDR: I turned in my paperwork and got yelled at by a Japanese man from the embassy.
