Packing it up

 (Don't make multiple blogs, cuz I have been posting stuff abt Japan on the wrong blog -.-)!!!



 Today as well as yesterday I have been packing boxes to ship to Sweden.

I chose to ship my stuff with an international shipping company called "Japan Luggage Express" because they seem like the cheapest option that I could find, and people seem to be satisfied with their service.

Still, it's kinda nerve-wracking to leave all your precious things in the hands of unknown people, and have them take them all over the world for several months (because since it's by boat it can take around 2 months to get my stuff to Sweden).

I can only hope my boxes do not get lost at sea...

Anyway, turns out I could fill a lot more boxes than I thought, though the boxes weren't that big after all.

Also, I have 2 big items for which I could not find boxes for, so I bought several boxes, took them apart and taped them back together to make 2 big boxes of the perfect size. These boxes are not the most beautiful and I do worry that the shipping company won't agree to ship them.

I have also finished "calling" all the companies to cancel internet, electricity and gas and such, turns out they would rather have you cancel through their websites than their phones. Which is something that usually doesn't happen in Japan.

I did it though, with a few mishaps, because when you cancel you also have to write the place of your new adress, but I do not have a new adress! I had to make up an adress, one that people would know were fake when they saw it. Was expecting to get a few confused phone calls about it, but so far so good.

After coming back from Korea I got sick though, and I still am not completely well, but atleast now my eyes aren't RED anymore. Creepy...

I went to the kuyakusho for something, and at the same time got my paperwork done for leaving Japan. Or atleast that's what I think, I haven't read about anything else I need to do, so I really hope that this is it.

Last thing would be to leave my Residence Card at the airport, and everything is done.

My life in Japan, over.

Now that most of the work I need to do is over, let's hope I get well again, so that I can enjoy my last few days in Japan to the fullest. Yey!
