you are ever going to go to Japan to study or something I warn you -
prepare everything as early as possible. The paperwork takes time. A lot
of time. To make a long story short; I applied to a language school in
Sapporo last summer and have been looking for, waiting for, filling out
and posting forms since then. And I got the final document (which I have
to send to the Japanese Embassy in Stockholm in order to get visa) from
them just a few days ago. So I had to go to Stockholm and try to get the
people at the embassy to prepare the via on the spot. Fortunately the
guy I talked to was very nice and he made jokes and helped me out. So
now all I have left to do before I get on the flight is some shopping,
packing and partying...
 This morning my father called me from his
cellular on the way to work to tell me he saw what he thought to be
tracks of a pair of wolves jut outside our house. I went out to check it
out and they sure seemed too big to be dog tracks, and they headed over
the ice. First they wandered next to eachother but then one of them
started to walk in the other´s  tracks. I took some really nice photos
and hurried inside to warm up my hands. They must have walked past our
house early in the morning because the tracks were fresh. I wish I could
have seen them. It was so close to the house so it wouldn´t have been
difficult. Also, earlier this week there has been a lot of deer tracks
on our lawn. They had walked around and dug in the ground in several
places a couple of days in a row. But there were no tracks there this
morning. They probably scented the wolves and kept away. Anyway, then my
father called and told me he had called and asked a wolf tracker what
wolves were about in our surroundings and he was told that they are a
young couple.
Tonight
I will celebrate with my sister a bit because this is the last time we
meet before I go, and tomorrow there will be a party at my friend Hans´
new apartment - a kind of combined moving-in-party for Hans and
sayonara-party for me.
