After the earthquake I’ve decided I’m going to make a 非常用バッグ which is an emergency bag! My friend told me to include water bottle as people sometimes panic buy water after an earthquake.

My first morning in Japan and I got woken up by an earthquake !!!

I had my Japanese visa appointment at the Embassy in London and it couldn’t have been easier! I was seen immediately as I arrived so it took less than 15 minutes. When I applied for my french study visa i was there for almost 3 hours- what a difference !

I definitely recommend having all your documents neatly in a folder so you can stay organised for your appointment.

The only pain of this experience was waiting for my Certificate of Eligibility which came so late.

Snow in Setagaya, Tokyo. It seldom snows in Tokyo, and this counts as a fairly heavy snowfall and a big adventure.
