    RE: Leipzig and Trailer Trashing

    Travel advice... Hrm... Drink lots of beer on the plane and watch only the good in-flight movies? Besides that, no, not really.

    Went and got my driver's license renewed. The process entailed me going to my local police station, filing out some forms and taking an eye examination. Also had to bring a small photo of myself for the new license. Unlike in the US, you need to go to a photo booth (not a purikura booth, a photo booth), put in like ¥700 and get your picture taken. Then you hafta cut the picture out the exact size mentioned in the postcard that tells you need to renew your license — however, the lady at the police station was cutting everyone's pictures for them. I always thought that driver's license pics look bad because someone else was taking them. No. I took maybe 6 or so pictures in the photo booth and my new driver's license picture is going to look strange, very strange. I wanted to do more retakes, but the booth wouldn't let me do anymore on the ¥700 I fed it. It's fate, I think, can't fight it. Unless you are lucky.
