To NYC and Back for $26

It would be nice if I could get to New York City and back for so little money but alas, Amtrak is much more expensive than that.  A little envelope filled with paperwork makes the trip for that discount fare though.

And my, the paperwork.  The most important piece is a Certificate of Eligibility, a letter from the Japanese government saying that I can come over and work.  It proves that education requirements are met and that somebody has given me a job in the first place.  Along with that I sent a copy of the CoE (front and back), an application form with my photo, my passport, a SASE, and a release waiver.  A release for what you say?  If my passport gets lost I can’t blame them for it.  Kinda scary, isn’t it?

When my passport comes back it will have a large sticker in it–my new visa, complete with my pixelized face.  My ticket to the promised land.  Well, not really… that ticket costs much more than $26.
