Well then, somewhere along the way I must have my visa extended and as I have to cross Nagano, I wonder if the chances of using English are improving in an international
town (Winter- Olympics). I take it easy and sitting in the
shadow of a tree I have a break. It's again damned hot. Then I see a really fat dog with his master. The dog looks at me friendly (but generally all dogs do that), then jumps at my well milled socks and walks off with them. Completely horrified about this embarrassing behaviour the master runs behind
the fat dog, but this one hobbles away again and again (the dog is so fat that he can hardly run) and finally he rolls on my socks. What a declaration of love this is! I nearly burst with laughter and take it easy... Of course the immigration office in Nagano is closed today. Game over. Try again (in Niigata)!
I'm sorry to say that some towns are more similar than the others. Nagano is really great...
