I just had the most surreal experience. I went to the Japanese Embassy. The counselor lady has been the cutest and most supportive embassy official I have ever encountered in my life.

She spoke as if she actually wanted to help me.

This is so surreal because no government official that I have encountered before was this nice. If you think about it, even if she treated me like piece of shit, I still had to do whatever she asked if I wanted to come to Japan.
