EXPIRED LICENSE

Yesterday took the day off to go to Akashi to renew my license. Seems like the rules in Japan are much different than America. I was under the impression that you could renew your license anytime after it expired. In Japan there are different things you have to do depending on how long your license has been expired. If a person renewed the license before the ending date then it would be as easy as going to the local police station. But if it was after 6 months you would have to take the ridiculous paper test of 100 questions again. Being a foreigner I tried to weasel out of that, luckily the guy at the license office helped me out by telling me to go through the foreigner office, there I could simply resubmit my license. Lucky that, will have to head back next week, let you know how things go.
