Foreigners staying in Japan for more than 90 days are required to register within 90 days after landing in Japan. So I went to the Immigration Office to get a registration card. The staff at the counter ask me if I want to apply for an "Alien Registration Card". "Oh no, I'm not from outer space, I come from Germany", I answered while loud laughing. I thought she was joking, but actually she was confused. After filling out some forms I really received an ALIEN registration card. Now I feel more not to be of this world than to be a foreigner.^^
