My visa certificate arrived today, now I’m waiting for it to become a visa. Should be ready next week.
I’ll be in Japan for the first time ever 2 weeks from today. It still doesn’t seem real, I don’t feel like I’m leaving for a whole year…

11 months of preparation, and now one month from leaving for Japan.
I was accepted into the Denmark uni, but then my original plan for the whole year at a Japanese uni opened up again, so I declined the Denmark uni on the gamble that I would get accepted into the Japanese uni. Three nervous months later, I was accepted, and now I leave on April 1st, and return in March next year.
Now I wait nervously for my visa certificate, which is supposed to arrive only 1-2 weeks before I leave!
The whole process has been long and tiring, but it has paid off.
I’ll be living in Chofu, a city of Tokyo:

The University of Electro-Communications, where I'll be studying from next month
