Japanese Bureaucracy

Well, one can't be in Japan very long without experiencing the frustration and inconvenience of Japanese bureaucracy. In many ways, it's worse for returning Japanese than it is for foreigners. It seems like everything requires a substantial amount of paper work and all of it is ultimately based upon their family registry and their place of birth, which often makes acquiring the necessary documents a complete nuisance. Hopefully, we'll navigate through the process as quickly and smoothly as possible.
