The Visa to Japan

This will be my first trip from Germany to Japan and I’m so glad that I cannot wait to see my old Japanese friends who I’ve known in my former language school.

I’ve received the invitation letter in the last week--- a letter that will be used not only for my visa application to Japan but also for my young brother. Then I’ve scanned them into e-documentation and sent to him, until today I’ve got a message from him that he got some troubles with the visa application in the Japanese embassy in UK because of non-original documents. So one way is, I have to post him the letter after my successful application of visa, but it will be too later while it takes about 2-4 weeks and we’ll set off in 4 weeks, even I’ve no idea whether the letter will be needed during the process, if no(they'll only see it face to face, that's all), I can post it to my brother immediately without any problem, that would be certainly so nice.

Besides the visa, I can’t just help making some thinking about such complicated visa application process. Why must we, who have the mainland passport, always need so many administrative docs, have we destroyed our trust reputation around the world? Has our government always shoveling in the profits of the crazy increasing economic with few considerations about its people? Have our ancestor who came so earlier abroad lost their trust with those illegal business activities? Why have the guys from western counties always the prejudice against us with their aged memories of 60s or 70s because only they’ve always been proud of their advanced industry creation? Why can’t we travel around the world freer like the America, European, or Japanese, even like a normal citizen in Hong Kong or Taiwan? It reminds me meantime a humorous sentence from Han-Chinese in USA, “I really want to love my land, but it’s too difficult to find something that makes me to love.”
