Recent Surprises
Since before Christmas I had made it a habit to be checking the post office for boxes that were coming in. For a long time I was confounded, checking again and again without any success. Last week we went to the post office and were surprised to find five boxes there as I mentioned previously. But there was an aberrant package that I hadn't noticed previously. As I was preparing to talk to my family and open my Christmas presents 'with' them I went to get my two packages. As I carried them from my room I was wondering why there were two, I didn't remember two packages being sent. I checked the post mark and was more than surprised to find that the one was postmarked January 7th. It was only the 16th and I had gotten the packages two days before. It turns out that it was my birthday package. It took only one week to arrive while it took the other 6 to go the same distance. To say the least we were shocked.

What type of visa did you get? I'm trying to get mine figured out and it's hard to get one that will last me long enough.
Kevin and I are on student visas through our language school.

I remembered that shortly after I posted the comment, I'm going to try and get a tourist visa and renew it when the time goes out(we can do this twice). But it sounds like my trip will be shorten to six months.
Be careful with a tourist visa. They often have limitations on what activities you do, such as teaching.
