Okay, Teresa needs help and she's somewhat stuck on her own. I went to the Nerima Ward office this morning already and applied for my Gaikokujin Card. They told me to come back April 6th to pick up the card, and I manage to score a photocopy of my application. Does anybody know if the photocopy is the temporary card or should I go back and try to ask for one? He didn't charge me 300 yen, so I don't know if my form works or not.
Also, I think I need help opening up a bank account and finding a prepaid cell phone. I know the Ninja-3 are out shopping for bedding today, but if you somehow get in contact with me I would love you FOREVER. Try leaving a message at my hostel or something if you can. I honestly don't know how to get in contact with you unless you guys have phones in your room and are able to receive calls from them.
Gah. I've been living on onigiri for my last couple meals. A GREAT START IN JAPAN!

Hey! its greg and jen on a japanese keyboard, and i'm not plaanning to correct any spelling because of the ridiculously small spaceboard *bar( omf.g......
we're planning on doing the bank account/phone thing tomorrow... we're gonna go check it out ourselves right now and when we return triumphantly we'll skype you and let you know wehat's up,. arghhhh!!!!
try asking your hostel manager dfirst, though, he probably'll be able to help you, 'cause mr. s.uzuki told jen and natalie everything while i was shampooing my armpits.
roger that.
i did try asking my front desk person for help, but the advice she gave me just didn't pan out. i do have my card though so that's good. tomorrow should be sightseeing fun. *shrugs* i slept from 3pm until now=10pm and am still rather tired. don't know why i'm so wiped.
Ah, Teresa, you went back and got a temporary card? Because the people we talked to...I don't think they quite understood what we were getting at, so maybe we should try again? Let us know what you did.
We had a lot of adventures today, but we should definitely meet up this weekend or something. Can you tell us how to get to Ace Inn from the station in case we want to visit?
Also, you need to eat more than onigiri! There's so much more than that out there!
to get to ace inn shinjuku, head to shinjuku station and go to the toei shinjuku line, it's a green circle. pay 170 yen to get to akebonobashi. ride the train that heads towards shinjuku san chome/mawayata. akebonobashi is the second stop. exit from A3 and take a left. walk down under the overpass and ace inn shinjuku is at your left. they have huge green letters, you can't miss it.
I didn't get a temp card. I did get them to photocopy the application form for me so that I can show it to the people at the cell phone place. Did you guys manage to score those?
As for food, haha, I had 3 onigiri all day. I'm set. XD I'll try looking for a ramen place tomorrow.
