There is so much to do before school starts. SO much to do!
 Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely happy to be moving to Japan officially! I'm very excited to get started on my "Dream list", to start studying and also to meet new friends.

But that doesn't erase that there is still so much to be done!

For instance, I need to purchase a Hanko.... In Japan, people do not sign their signatures- They use stamps. They are called Han or Hanko (or Inkan but I think "inkan" is the name for the stamp on the paper), and every individual in Japan has one.

I need to purchase a Hanko so I can open a Japanese bank account.




I need to open a Japanese bank account so I can purchase a phone contract at Docomo.



I need a job before anything so I can afford having a phone.




So as you can see, it's a string of things I need to do in order to be set.




I guess it's not so bad though- considering everyone is busy with errands when they're moving to a new place. Especially a new country!
