In 30 seconds to Japan
Last Wednesday I had a really amazing experience. For the first time in my life it was really easy (well, compared to my other experiences) to get a visa. I only needed to hand in the application form, my student ID, my passport and the bankstatements of the last three months (which was slightly topped up only for this purpose;=). After three days I could go to the Exchange Square in Central to pick up my passport plus visa.
For those who have never been to Hong Kong: Central is the banking district of Hong Kong, with the highest skyscrapers (e.g. Bank of China Tower, IFC Tower,…) and the most expensive shopping malls. So it was also an opportunity for me to get into one of those expensive looking buildings ^^..
Everything looked really noble, the ground was polished so that you could see your reflection and most of the people there wore suits. I was very surprised, when I saw the red Christmas flowers which was the main decoration. And for the first time I realized, that Christmas and with it my departure was approaching in full speed. And so does the elevators of the skyscrapers: In 30 seconds it took us from the 3rd floor to the 42th floor. After another 3 minutes I could happily go back with my Japan visa in my handbag.
So now, after Moritz booked the flights, I’LL BE IN JAPAN during my 23rd birthday!!!! I still can’t believe it, but it surely will be one of my best experiences this year. I’ll tell you then.
