Green Card

I received my Alien Registration Card last week. Most of us foreigners affectionately refer to the document as a "Gaijin Card." Now, I'm an official Card Carrying Foreigner.

Nobu, who bought me my cell phone, and has basically become my Japanese father away from home, wrote this to me in an email:

"Congrats !!!
Gringo Green got a Japanese Green card, didn't you ?
It was fast and you were lucky !"
