Carteira de motorista na mão

O processo foi fácil, apenas um pouco mais demorado do que eu gostaria. Pela primeira vez, inclusive, entrei em órgão japonês que me fez lembrar um pouco das empresas públicas do Brasil. O prédio era velho, com móveis antigos e alguns até remendados com fita adesiva. Até as televisões eram super antigas.

Os funcionários, super atarefados, não são tão simpáticos como os de outros lugares e alguns bastante impacientes. Um deles, foi logo apontando para um aviso em inglês para me alertar que aquele era o mais procurado centro de carteira de habilitações do Japão e que me espera poderia durar duas horas. Foram, exatamente, duas horas.

A comunicação foi, novamente, um problema. Apesar de oferecer o serviço de transferência da carteira de motorista aos estrangeiros, não encontrei funcionários que falassem inglês. Eu apontava, fazia sinais e eles me mandavam para a fila correta. Well, acredito que os estrangeiros que moram no Brasil sofram do mesmo problema. Portanto, quem sou eu para dizer que os japoneses fazem certo ou errado. Apenas ofereço aqui minhas impressões....

Mas há pontos positivos também a serem destacados: o prédio é bem sinalizado (em inglês, inclusive) e tem até faixas coloridas no chão que você deve seguir para acompanhar e finalizar o seu processo. Tudo bem prático. Você anda mais do que má notícia dentro do prédio, mas resolve tudo sem muito drama.

Uma coisa que não foi legal foi encontrar o prédio. Nossa! Rodei mais do que peru bêbado. O mapa (esse da foto) não ajudou nem um pouco. Quando cansei de estar perdida, apelei para um táxi. Mas o importante é que voltei para casa feliz da vida com minha carteira na mão.

Semana que vem vou repetir a romaria. Dessa vez, Paul vai tirar a carteira dele. Só que agora estou escolada e tenho certeza de que vai ser tudo mais rápido. Otimismo, sempre!

Olá, eu vi que você tem bastante experiência internacional né, então posso te pedir algumas dicas? hehehe
Estou morando no japão com a minha esposa, mas está muito difícil aprender o japonês, então estamos pensando seriamente em nos mudar pra Nova Zelandia. Como somos formados e eu tenho um inglês razoável (e já estou fazendo aulas particulares novamente). Estamos indo pra lá, pois acho que as oportunidades culturais e futuras profissionais vão ser melhores.
Gostaria de saber, se você sabe, ou conhece quem sabe sobre os trâmites pra se ir pra lá, como por exemplo. Comprar passagens de ida e volta, alugar um quarto no lodge por quantos dias, essas coisas. Não sei se seria igual do pessoal que vai do brasil, daí eu tenho amigos que estão lá. Ou se indo do japão, a coisa fica mais fácil.

Muito obrigado por sua atenção.

Olá, gostaria muito de poder ajudá-lo, mas, infelizmente, não sei como. Saí da NZ em julho de 2006 e não sei como andam os trâmites para migrar para lá agora - eles mudam tudo com bastante frequência. Posso adiantar que você terá que comprar passagem de ida e volta, sim. A não ser que tenha visto de trabalho ou de residência. Do contrário, não tem jeito. Seria bom você encontrar um blog de alguém que estivesse morando lá. Também tem uma comunidade no Orkut, chamada Brasileiros na Nova Zelândia, que pode ter ajudar. Abraços e obrigada pela visita. =)

Sr. Overground, obrigada por visitar o blog e por deixar seu comentário. Espero que volte mais vezes. :p

If you’re like me when you first saw the term “arbitrage sports betting” you just said, “huh?” You may even be reading this article because you were wondering. It is a relatively little method that can actually allow you to make money no matter who wins or loses. Kind of like heads I win, tails I win!

Everyone who is involved in any kind of gaming, gambling, or betting as heard the stories of legendary people who have supposedly created the next foolproof betting system and have used the system themselves to help them to avoid losing and get higher profits over the long haul. The fact is that there is not a system in existence that can guarantee you that you will definitely be successful and never lose.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]sport book betting[/url]
It appears that the United States legal system is closer than ever before to cutting off ties with any type of online gambling within its boundaries. This includes poker, casinos, and sports betting among others. Generally speaking, anything that has to do with transmitting money via the internet as far as gambling is concerned is being cracked down on quite harshly.

And finally, in the first article in this series I mentioned being honest with yourself, because one of the biggest lies I have found that a tremendous number of Bettors are guilty of is denying to themselves how many times their Base Bank has been busted! If you too are guilty of this, please remember that until you face up to the truth with the determination to do something about it, you can't expect to turn the situation round in your favour.

Everything about horse betting

In addition to offering the full menu of track bets, i.e., Win, Place, Show, Daily Doubles, Exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas and Superfectas, some have started offering additional types of wagers such as a two horse match bet. This, in our opinion, is the most significant opportunity for horse racing today. In an era where proposition bets on football range from the point spread to which way the wind will be blowing at half time, horse racing is missing the boat. They've failed to recognize what Las Vegas has known for some time, namely that gaming is entertainment and that the way to increase 'handle' is to offer more types of wagers. This year's Superbowl offered over 300 proposition bets resulting in a record setting day for the Las Vegas sports books with over 94 million dollars wagered. To put that into perspective, that's about .6% of the 15 billion dollars wagered annually on horse racing.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]bet on horse racing[/url]
In the United States, races can occur on flat surfaces of either dirt or grass, generally for thoroughbred racing. Other tracks offer quarter horse racing]] and harness racing. The best events in US horse racing have been Kentucky Derby, which, together with the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, form the Triple Crown for three-year-olds. However, in recent years the Breeders' Cup races, held at the end of the year, have been challenging the Triple Crown events, held early in.


The Triple Crown stands as the ultimate test of greatness, and that's why on the first Saturday in May each year, America's thoughts turn to horse racing and the hope of just one more Triple Crown winner. Because we do, after all, need another hero.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horce racing bet[/url]
As the field takes shape for the 131st running of the Preakness Stakes this Saturday, the question on everyone's minds is do we finally have a horse that can win the Triple Crown?

However, the banking Internet sector has exploded in the past five years.

This banking Internet option has been very popular not only for customers who want to have some control over their account without having to go to the bank but for banks as well whose man hours have been freed up from performing simple tasks like balance inquiries, account transfers, and the like because the customer does it himself with banking Internet.

Banking Internet options also include virtual banks.

This is amazing and makes traveling a lot less stressful as well because with banking Internet you always know where your account stands.
[url=http://pcinternetbanking.com]Chase Online Banking[/url]
Times are changing, with the internet redefining the banking sector over the last five years. Do not be confused as it continues to develop, the many names it goes by all mean the same thing electronic, online and PC banking are all just synonyms traditional banking services provided through a secure internet portal.

Moving on we have non other than Bobby Charlton - now Sir Bobby Charlton of course. Another member of the Busby Babes who also survived the crash in Munich Bobby netted 249 times for Utd- the club record. For a long time he also held the record for the most appearances for the club at 758, a figure that has since been surpassed by Ryan Giggs. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]manchester united[/url] In anticipation of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, which Manchester hosted, several first class sporting facilities were constructed and this further boosted sports development in the city. These venues include the Manchester Velodrome, the City of Manchester Stadium, the National Squash Centre and the Manchester Aquatics Centre. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]rooney wayne[/url] Back in the Newton Heath era, the kits were made up of yellow and green stitched sections (1878 - 1892), and looked a bit like a jockey's silks. Some additional colour schemes were also employed such as a red and white shirt (1892-1894) paired with blue shorts. This all changed in 1902 when the club changed its name to Manchester United, the club radically altered the kit colours to red shirts, white shorts and black socks. This colour palette has been the foundation of the home strip ever since. The away strip is white jerseys, black shorts and white socks however different looks to this strip have existed. The most notorious of these was the all-grey strip employed in the 1995-1996 campaign. The club did not win a single game when sporting the grey shirts. The team were vociferous in their claims that the drab colour meant they had difficulty seeing their team-mates, hence passes were being sprayed all over the pitch! Another variation was the all-black kit used in 1994 and 2003. There is also a "Third Strip". This shirt which is not often used, is an homage to the kit worn when the club won the 1968 European Cup. The team has occasionally used the strips employed for training sessions in actual matches although this has been a rare occurence.

But Wednesday was not Real’s night; the team lost the first leg at France and had to make 2 goals in order to advance. And at home, there seemed to be real possibility. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid football club[/url] Just entering the second half, Raul Gonzalez collected a pass from Ronaldo to finish the play and set up the first goal of the match. Only two minutes after, Matteo Contini saw the red card and Zaragoza was left with 10 players. But far from collapse due to the expulsion, the Zaragoza player Adrian Colunga faced Iker Casillas and got the equalizer at minute 61. Despite this goal, the Whites kept attacking but it was not until minute 82 when Kaka, who came back from injury, picked up a deep pass from Ronaldo and put the final 2-1 for Real Madrid.

Espanyol entered the second half rejuvenated, motivated, enthusiastic, and ready to control the field. Nevertheless, the team was far too inconsistent and never quite managed to threaten Madrid’s area. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]benzema[/url] Real Madrid’s second goal came as a penalty after Marcelo Vieira Da Silva’s cross hit the Villareal full-back Angel Lopez in the arm. Kaka took over the penalty and converted, giving Real Madrid its final point for the game. Cristiano Ronaldo had other opportunities, but he failed to settle, and Real Madrid took the game 2-0.

5.) However, if you are playing very large jackpot games, it is better to play with fewer cards. Huge jackpots attract numerous players and your winning odds are low. Hence, you can make your money last longer by playing few cards.
[url=http://www.bingokisses.com]free bingo[/url] play bingo One of the winning systems is to play with fewer bingo cards. Most bingo players play with many bingo cards to increase their chances of a win at the game. However, playing with fewer cards provides the best odds of the game as your chances of making a big win are higher. Another bingo system in action functions according to the theory of probability. Balls from a bingo machine come out at random, which means that no one can predict emergence of any particular number. In the same vein, you can employ the probability theory to gauge the next number to emerge from the machine. Random drawing of numbers means laws of probability govern selection of balls and their appearance in a uniform distribution pattern.

Bingo is a fantastic game and is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of entertainment on the internet, our advice is to have fun and be safe, we wish you all the luck in the world with your bingo playing, thanks for reading.
bingo online
What you have to do is, coordinate the numbers that are called out by the host with what you have on our sheet, aiming at filling up a pattern reading bingo. The pattern would be announced at the beginning of the game, so you have to be careful to know what pattern you are looking out for. The cards have the b-i-n-g-o letters on rows and numbers running as a column. A host would call out a letter-number combination, which you would have to mark on your sheet. For example if I-34 is called, you will have to look at the I column down to search for number 34. In case you have it, you place a market on it, and so on.
