It's been stressful for me lately, so I'm posting something tranquil to make me feel better.
On an entirely unrelated subject, here's a protip for folks living in a foreign country: when it comes time to renew your visa (your permission to reside in the country), don't forget; they don't like it when you forget.
(Japan didn't like it when I forget, but they kindly granted me “special permission” to stay, so I don't have to remember again for another three years, but wow, what a colossal paperwork headache I created for myself.)

Wow, you just scared me here. I immediately pulled my wallet and checked my gaijin card. I’m safe. Whew 🙂
That was the problem… the gaijin card (外国人登録証明書) expiry is unrelated to your visa term. So don’t check your gaijin card, check your visa (in your passport, or your 在留カード). —Jeffrey
Ah yes indeed! Darn. Well, after checking my visa is fine. Thanks for the heads up! 🙂
