I started the process of getting a Japanese driving license. Yesterday I went to the Japanese Auto Federation, JAF. For 3,000yen they "translate" your license into a Japanese license. They give you this official looking form that I will take to the Akashi Driver's Licensing center. Once there I need to take a written test, easy and in english, and a driving test, which should be a cakewalk providing I can understand what they are asking me to do.

I've been surfing goobike looking for a motorcycle... At this point I kind of have my heart set on a Honda cbr250rr - a micro version of the cbr600 I've been riding in the states...
