So....
The moment was there and I experienced it. At 8.45am on the 9th of August, I got my letter from Japan. You can imagine me from first getting super annoyed because of waking up so early but then realizing happily what I just got...
The first information was there and also the most important thing, my Certificate of Eligibility. This tiny A5 sized paper was going to get me my visa. It looks somewhat like this.
The picture in my certificate is HORRIBLE.
I look like a retarded sister of Velma from Scooby Doo.
Getting the visa was easy. In an hour after delivering the visa application, the certificate, passport and a passport pic to the Embassy of Japan I got my visa. And it was only 25 euros in cash. Sweet deal. The visa itself is pretty. I have in my passport also a Chinese visa and the Japanese one is prettier in its own way. The main colours are these lite blue and pink...ish kind of colour. And the visa is full of sakura flowers.
It truly is amazing. Week before this I had nothing. Now I had the visa, international student card, the first info I need to Japan and my flight ticket from Helsinki to Tokio, Narita. And no connecting flights, just straight from here to there.
I sitll have a lot to do though but about that in later posts...

Last things I want to share is what a Japanese person told me. It's basically Japan and Finland in a nutshell from her poinf of view.
I love own country.
But...
As for the life of Japan, there are a lot of stresses.
Therefore, there are quite a lot of commodities(manga, anime, porn...LOL) for the stress reduction.
We obtain power to have a lot of dreams greatly in a small cage(=Japan).
The image to Finland ... Excellent product design, Beautiful environment, Delicate people, Moomin, xylitol etc...
And..."very cold"(Finland is an impression of country of winter )!!
When Japanese traveler goes to Finland, it becomes Finn's fan.
(Perhaps, because a Japanese character looks like Finn's character.)
Anyway, the thing that you were born in Finland is lucky xD!!
But now, until next time C:
I have some packing to do
