Oh shits, Ape-X. How are ya, buddy?

Or were we bitter rivals? I don't remember.

[Zerlina]

Yeah, we did. We saw his penis.

It's actually a holiday here on charas.

[Almeidaboo]

...Sai-penis-day?

[Archem]

Masturbation.

[Almeidaboo]

Yeah, he's probably enjoying his newly found dick!

[SaiKar]

Trying to decide proper form of revenge. So far, I'm somewhere between destroying everything and a vague fist shake.

[Archem]

Vague fist shake. On your penis.

[Apex]

What in godzillas name are you doing there?

[Razor]

and also Razor.

I'm always here, I just have the presense of a half-hearted ghost
but I love me some MSPA thread

[Apex]

What in godzillas name are you doing there?

You know, chilling out.

I'm studying Japanese and teaching english at a University as a part-time job in the Okayama Prefecture. I have a girlfriend here also, so I spend a lot of time with her on the weekends in Tokyo. I'm searching for a more permanent job right now, I'll graduate from my home institution next year, so I'll be able to get a full-time job once that happens. My Visa is for five years, so I can be here at least that long.

[Prpl_Mage]

Just make sure to finish all them business before that visa expires, heard too many stories about people's lives getting awfully complicated because of a bad-timed pregnancy and such.

[Archem]

Basically. If you plan on staying, get to work on applying for citizenship. The sooner, the better.

[Prpl_Mage]

You know guys, I'm pretty sure he already knows about all the important stuff. He's there, after all.

Believe me, too many people have been somewhere, neglected something important and ended up being deported and banned for x amount of time. Which is why we're hoping that Apex is remembering everything that could secure his future happiness.

[Apex]

-Continuous residence in Japan for five years or more
-At least 21 years old and otherwise legally competent
-History of good behavior generally, and no past history of seditious behavior
-Sufficient capital or skills, either personally or within family, to support oneself
-Stateless or willing to renounce foreign citizenship
(Source is wikipedia, super-classy.)

Now, I'm not sure that I'm willing to renounce my American citizenship, but the rest is fairly well taken care of IF I do decide that I want to become a citizen. At this point I'm more interested in the American side of things, such as how difficult it would be to visit my family. I'd hate to apply for a visa each time I need to go back for family business.

That's pretty far off in the future though. Thanks for the concern though guys.
