Nagasaki town

As promised the view from my window...very pleasant indeed with green hills and little japanese houses creeping up.
Yesterday I had to go to City Hall to get my "Alien registration Card", quite a masterpiece in holographic technique. I need to keep this with me at all times so the police knows who you are, same like in Holland or many other countries where an ID is required. With this I could als go to the Fukuoka Immigration Office, Nagasaki Branch, to get my multiple re-entry permit (only 6.000Yen) in order to be able to travel in and out of the country.

Her are some more snapshots of nagasaki town with it harbour and palmtrees.

They also have trams, 電車, densha. They are a little old from the '50s and all were made in Fukuoka, a big town on Kyushu island. You get in at the back and pay the driver while leaving at the front. A good system and they come around evety 5 minutes or less.

During rush hour it is quite frustrating to be in the back and you have to go all the way to the front..shouting : Sumimasen, sumimasen..in other words..excuse me, excuse me!
