This morning I had set the alarm and woke up to the idea of going to school. We were still supposed to have a week of school left. Soon thereafter Emma received (or made I’m not sure) a phone call and we found out that the lessons on monday and tuesday were cancelled.
I went out and bought bread which was in stock in the stores again and then when I came back I found out the entire weeks lessons were cancelled. So we’re now officially on holiday. School starts again April 11th I believe.
Things are really back to normal here. What’s not normal is all the foreigners. Foreigners are starting to act really irrationally and are starting to flee the country. Unfortunately, I can’t say I’m not one of them. Not entirely of my own will but this is the case.
We are going to South Korea for 2 weeks as of tomorrow. I’ll be back in time to give an awesome tour of Tokyo to my dad and aunt and I’m really looking forward too it.
To be able to leave the country and retain my current visa-status I have to have a re-entry permit. I thought it was going to be a real fucking hassle to get this (requiring weeks of work as it took to get the original visa) fortunately that was not the case. Unfortunately; we had to wait in line for 8 hours.
That was the entrance to the immigration office. The following short clip is one I took after walking half-way down the line and realizing how absurdly long it was. Mind you, this is half the line.
After 8 hours I got my re-entry permit and we have booked two round-trip tickets to Seoul and will be staying at a decent hotel (which according to hotels.com shall include a gym).
I really hate to go along with this whole state-of-panic irrational behavior and it goes against every fiber of my body to change my mind based on illusional (delusional?) risks.
However, I have been wanting to see Korea for a while now and I’m going to see these 2 weeks as a vacation and try to enjoy Seoul as much as possible. Perhaps I’ll take in a game of Starcraft while I’m there
