Tuesday Evening:
Well I did something new today. I arrived at the checkin counter for my international flight 3 minutes before take-off. They didn`t let me procede.
So I got new tickets and most of a refund from my old tickets during crazy pouring rain and a few hours later was able to get on the flight and go to Japan.
I made it here sucesfully despite Immigration on both ends of my flight hauling me off to the side initially refusing me entry / departure. Not to mention they confascated my Korean National ID card (insert profanity).
Being tight on time I got a $30 taxi and made it to the consulate 30 minutes beore they closed. However they stop taking visa applications an hour before that and refused me access to the building. So I`m going to need to change my tickets again and I might come back on Thursday if everything goes smoothly at the consulate. If somehow they get really crowded then I will come back next week. Would I still have a job by that point?
The last time I did this I made friends in the consulate and we got adjoining motel rooms together. This time no luck. Tried to find the motel I went to two years ago but was unable to find it ~ I might have found the right subway station, but am unsure.
I followed a big bright sign to an inn only to find out the whole building is under construction and it`s completely closed off; metal baracades and everything.
Through some tourist pamphlets at the airport I found an inn and have internet access in the lobby. It`s $5 cheaper than the love motel I found and this place looks just a bit more respectible. I didn`t plan for this much expenses so I didn`t have the cash; thank you credit cards.
Gosh, I`m batting 1000 today aren`t I? I haven` had this much adventure traveling since China. And if I am ranking things I should say dysentary in Manila comes in third.
