Tales of the Traveling K

The most important thing I have learned in Japan so far is that, when dealing with Japanese bureaucracy, everything must be exact. If your passport has your name written in all capital letters, that's how you write it on official forms. Opening a bank account requires extreme attention to detail. At home, someone might happily sign with a wild signature. Here, that signature has to match exactly from one page to the next. Luckily, they let me use my initals instead.

I'd like to post pictures of the beautiful campus, but as yet do not have internet access on my laptop. I should be able to post them by early next week.
