I got my visa and airplane ticket reservation from the embassy of Japan.
The 20 (or something) journey will start at 6:30 on 1st of April from Sofia and will end at 10:00 in Chibu International.
The visa itself is very “fashionable”. It has my picture in monochrome, shaped in an ellipse. It gave me the chills since this kind of portrait is usually used on gravestones (at least in Bulgaria).
But in contrast to that, in order to make it more cheerful, there are several pink sakura flowers, one of them, as bigger than the picture itself.
I am sorry that I can’t scan it and paste it here (after blurring almost every personal information and even more).
I am heading back to packing and hopefully my next post will be from Japan.

This is the first post of my new blog, which will be only in English and will follow my adventures in Japan. Since I haven’t arrived there yet, there will be not much to see here until April 2010.
The purpose of this blog is to both keep my friends up to date and also to educate people that are interested in Japan. When I started researching what was I to expect when I get to Japan, I found out that such blogs as mine are very helpful and interesting. I have already added two such blogs under the “Blogroll” category.
The idea for the name “Ivan & Japanese people” came from a very old Japanese video lessons “Let’s Learn Japanese”, where the main story is titled “Yan And The Japanese People”. Another inspiration is Matt Harding, you can see his website for more info.
I’m running dry here and there isn’t more to say now, just hope to get some visitors in time. In the mean time keep checking the blog!
