Today, I officially booked my plane ticket. With rising gas prices... I couldn't wait any longer.
Other stuff on my checklist that's done:
+ Scholarship applications
+ Find cheap cellphone http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/en/prepaid/about/charges.html
The phone plan sounds like a great deal, but I dunno if it's still available. I heard that the government is trying to get rid of pre-paid phones? We'll see....
Also, added some stuff to my Japan To Do list:
[ ] Yamanote Halloween Train
[ ] Sleep in a capsule hotel
[ ] Kiss a Japanese boy
