PRE-DEPARTURE; Update

Eligibility leads to a Visa

I now have my Certificate of Eligibility and my acceptance letter from Nara University of Education that I will use to get my Visa.

I will be making extra copies of these, my passport and when I get it, my visa as well going off of advice from The Study Abroad Blog in 10 tips to get through the airport faster


when they said:  

"You’re going to want to keep copies of your

 passport, visas, plane tickets, hotel info, etc. with you while 

you fly."

I also enjoyed many other easy to read articles on studying and traveling abroad such as The importance of Journaling which said:

"Your journal becomes a time capsule of your experience," and
"Writing about your experience helps you think through critical issues"

Both of which I really agree with. Check out their site it's loaded with great tips on what to and not to do. Learning from others experiences can make all the difference.
