On Japanese mosquitoes
The following may come across as no surprise for anyone who hasn't had their rationality glands removed, but for some crazy reason, I think that – deep down – I expected Japanese mosquitoes would show some deference or consideration for a crazy gaijin who left his window open during a hot Tokyo night. But no, instead, those mosquitoes (or whatever the hell spent the night trying to get a piece of me) chose to sting the #*%&ing hell out of me all night long. What happened to all the goodwill, discretion and politeness one comes to expect here? On the other hand, maybe they were crazy radioactive mosquitoes or some magical bug of sorts (this is Japan, after all... I figure the odds are pretty good in my favour). Maybe I'll have cool superpowers by tomorrow. In the meantime, all I've got a damn itchy back/arm/face/argh/everything!

I recently had to get an Expedited passport for an unexpected business trip, and the process was surprisingly smooth and efficient. The convenience of expediting the passport application allowed me to focus on preparing for my trip without worrying about passport delays. Plus, the customer service at the passport office was exceptional; they answered all my questions and ensured that I had all the necessary documents. While the expedited service comes at an extra cost, the peace of mind and quick turnaround time were worth it. I recommend considering the expedited passport option if you're ever in a similar situation.
