Oh wow that sounds amazing! Huge congratulations!

Also if you can read while flying, get a couple books from your favorite authors (the kind you have trouble putting down), so you can actually finish them. A good book that draws you in can really distract from flight tension. Try to sleep on the flight, I find a window seat is best for sleeping as you don't have your seatmates constantly going past to the facilities.

Good luck Nashida! From one teacher to another, hope things run smoothly.

Chat up Slytovhand over on Fratching for some firsthand information; he's been doing this sort of thing for a while now.

Shame on me for bumping this after a month, but I have a bit of an update.

The paperwork for my visa has been collected, and it was submitted this past Wednesday. I don't know when that will clear, I've been told it can take at least a month. I will get my travel itinerary when it clears.

In my free time, I've been browsing some real estate sites to see what kind of apartments I can get with the housing bonus the Mouse will give me per month. It's kind of fun to see just what you can get with that much, when that same amount here in USD wouldn't even get a studio apartment (at least in the city in which I live, anyway).
