I was pretty busy preparing my trip to Tokyo lately. So, well, yeah, I'm still packing and stuff. And at the same time, I got to finish and send my applications - wanted to be already finished, actually, but one of my Senseis took quite too long to hand in some important documents, so I just can start now.
Additionally, I lately heared that Maestro-EMV-chipped cards will temporarily not work in Japan, because their ATM-system is updating. AND on top of that, 7-Bank (known for their convenient-stores all over the place, in which you usually find international ATMs which are free to use) is currently messing with MasterCard, because they kinda changed their terms and conditions regarding cooperational companies - and 7-Bank just don't like them. Well, so, to speak clearly, it's not possible to withdraw any money at 7-Bank-ATMs via Maestro, MasterCard and Cirrus. So I had to check things for that issue, too, since I don't want to be in Tokyo without any money |'D
Well, let's just say "s**t happens". orz
But thanks to a nice Japanese friend of me, I know where to get money even if there are these problems ☆ Thank you so much for your help! (I also asked at our bank's office, but they just didn't know anything about that issue. At all. lol (ノω；｀) ).
Nevertheless, I'm totally looking forward to go! (≧▽≦)☆ It's like I was waiting for years.
We'll go by Etihad, so we'll have a stop at Abu Dhabi. I'm totally nervous about that, since I heared that the Airport was so big and luxurious, haha ^^;
It's the first time I travel via Etihad, and of course it'll be my first impression of Abu Dhabi (even though I'll only see the airport σ(･´ω｀･) ). Of course I'll try to take lots of photos in Abu Dhabi as well!
I'm looking forward to see all my friends over there, and I'm so looking forward to meet new people as well :)
I will try to update my blog more often to share some impressions and photos with you! ☆
So, what else to say... I'm not quite sure whether I'll write another entry BEFORE I go, so... I'll keep it that way and feel allowed to say "See you next week in Tokyo!" (*´ω｀*)
