DS-2019 No,2
2008-08-11
Your DS-2019 has already expired, so your entry can not be accepted!!Wh---------y!!!!????
It didn't have anything wrong when I departed from the US, although all of my documents were checked up. I was wondering so. I really couldn't understand why my DS-2019 had a problem.
I was made to wait in the room- checking someone seems to be suspected. I have hitchhiked before when I was lost, but this situation was more riskier than at that time for me.
There were many people came from Africa in the room. many many people were there.
They gazed at me. gazing me, gazing, gazing,,,,
I was wondering whether Asian is rare for them. I was actually only one Asian among them. I thought I should say hello to them with smile, but I couldn't pay afford to do it at all.
Ahh,,,,, I felt as if I were a real criminal somehow.......
DS-2019の期限切れを言い渡され、取調室っぽい部屋へ連行された私。
おかしいな〜.... 出国の時に書類を調べられたけど、何の問題も無かったのにな〜.....。
以前、道に迷った時、ヒッチハイク（←Hitchhikeの記事へジャンプします。）した事があるけど、この状況はその時より危機的状況だ。
部屋にはたくさんのアフリカ人と思しき人々。
アジア人が珍しいのかな？みんな私をじろじろ見る。凝視、凝視.... ものすごく見る。
確かにアジア人は私ただ一人。ものっそい目立つ。笑顔でHelloくらい言うべきかなとも思ったけど、そんな余裕はみじんも無い。
あぁぁ、何だか本当の罪人になった気分だ。
My name was called. My heart was beating so quickly enough to get into spasm.Officer told me whether I have really only one DS-2019 and to make a search for another new one in my bag more carefully.
I made a search in my bag again.......
Ahhhh-----------!!!!! There is!!!
I found new one! There was in the bag!!
I forgot having 2 documents of DS-2019, yeah, new one and old one. I totally forgot about that. It seemed that I accidentally showed old one which had expired at the immigration........
The officer was disgusted by my carelessness. She stared at me with angry eyes. No smiling.... How uncomfortable moment...... I apologized to her from the bottom of my heart. Afterwards, I could enter into America again.
Yes! That was all of my fault!
I sometimes really hate my carelessness. How stupid I am!!
うわ〜 どうしよう。。。何言ってんだか全然わからないよ。。。
自分の名前が呼ばれた。心臓が痙攣を起こすんじゃないかと思われる程鼓動した。
審査官が私に、ホントーにこれしか持ってないのか？ 新しいのがあるのかどうかもう一回バッグを調べるように言った。
あーーーーーーっ！！ あった！ 新しいやつあったよ！
そういえば、新しいものと古いもの、２通のDS-2019を持っていたの忘れてたよ〜。
どうやら私は間違って古い期限切れの方をイミグレーションに提出していたようです。あらやだ、全然気づかなかったよ〜。あはは。
審査官が怒りの籠った目で私を見つめる。「馬鹿じゃないの。」みたいな目で。
....... ニコリともしない。
うわ〜... 本当にすみません。。。全部私の不注意のせいです。
無事にアメリカの地を踏む事ができたけど....
時々私は自分の不注意が嫌になります。あたしゃなんて馬鹿なんだろう。。。。
DS-2019
2008-08-08
DS-2019This is not "Nintendo DS" but a kind of certification document issued by US government.
DS-2019 shows that the person is approved by the agency or university which the person belonging to. The spouse also must have it.
So the residents in the US must show it with passport and the US visa when enter to America.
It's a very, very important document
DS-2019
これはニンテンドーDSではありません。
所属する機関や大学などが留学者の受け入れを保証する書類で、その配偶者もその書類を持たなければなりません。米国居住者がアメリカに入国する際にはパスポート、ビザと共にこのDS-2019も提示しなければなりません。
とっても、とっても重要な書類なのです。
at Dulles Airport
One day at Dulles Airport, I had just come back to America from Japan alone.
I showed my passport with important documents at the immigration, but my DS-2019 seemed to have something wrong.
Officer: "Your DS-2019 has already expired!!"
eko: "What!!!!!!? expired????"
It can not be!!!
I have only one! I didn't know what happened.
Some staff at the airport came around me and talking something.
They told me that they can not allow me entering to America. and then.....
I was taken to the special room for interrogation.
I was wondering whether I was going to be arrested as an illegal immigrant.

ワシントン・ダレス空港にて。
一時帰国を終え、一人で日本からアメリカへ帰って来た時の事。
入国審査でパスポートと重要な書類を提示した。
しかし、、、私のDS-2019が何かおかしい様だ。
審査官：「アンタのDS-2019は期限切れだよ。」
私： 「えぇ！何だってえぇぇ！！！？」
そんなはずはないよ!!!
だってこれしか持ってないもの。何で？？？
なんか,,,, 空港のスタッフが数人私の周りに駆けつけてきた。。。
で、何か話している。。
そして、スタッフが私にこう言った。
「あなたの入国は認められません。」と。
私は、怪しき者を取り調べる為の取調室っぽい部屋へと連行された。
私、不法入国者として逮捕されるんだろうか.....。
つづく。
Yankee stadium
2008-03-25
Somehow, whenever I support the team, it loses the game. Baseball, Football, American Football,,,,,
Although I've ever been to some stadiums to enjoy watching sports, anyway I have rarely seen the victory of the teams I supported.
I'm a biggest fan of Hanshin Tigers. Tigers won the league match after an interval of 18 years while I was out of Japan.
I wonder if I am a petrel........
I went to see the game of N.Y Yankees at Yankee stadium. I supported Yankees because Hideki Matsui played in the game and I liked Derek Jeter.
Many Yankees fans were gathering around the stadium. Everyone was full of vigor.
Some of them tried to talk to me in Japanese, once they found I am a Japanese. "Konnichiha","Arigato" or " Go Matsui!" and so on.
A guy spoke to me saying "Hey ma'am! Hey ma'am!"
I thought he tried to make fun of me. He was saying to me "Zipper, Zipper!!"
Huh??? Zipper???
I looked down at the zipper on my pants..... and I found that....
The zipper on my pants had opened widely!!!! It had totally opened....
I was soooooooo embarrassed that I wish I could disappear!!!!!
I wonder when it opened and I exposed such an idiot appearance......
How was the game? Of course it lost!
ヤンキースタジアムにて。
日本人だと判ると声をかけらることがある。「ゴー！ マトゥイ(松井)!」とか。
なんか、男が私に声を掛けて来た。どうせ私をからかってるんだろうと思っていた。
「アンタ、チャックが開いてるぜ。」
うわぁぁ... ジーンズのファスナーが全開でしたわ...。全然気づかなかった....。いつから開いていたんだろう？ ファスナー全開の、まぬけな出で立ちでニューヨークを歩き回っていたかと思うと、その場から消えてしまいたいくらい恥ずかしかった...。父ちゃん恥ずかしくて、涙が出てくらぁ...。
We will "lock" you! under severe thunder storm
2008-01-23
2002, SummerI thought I told you that I was locked out from my room before.
I did it again..... How stupid I was!
My apartment had a public laundry room on the each floor. The laundry room also needed the key to open.
When I went to the laundry room to wash my lot of lingerie, I found that I forgot to have the keys. (included my room's key)
I was locked out again... with a plastic bag which was full of my lingerie... No━━(;ﾟДﾟ)━━oo !!!!!
Although I had to go to the leasing office where was next to building to borrow the key,too bad, it was severe thunder storm!!
I hesitated to bring my lingerie to the leasing office with me, but I was ashamed to leave it there or thereabout.A thunderbolt struck around there perpetually.
It was so scared to go outside at that time. Ahhh,,, I didn't know how I should do.
I decided to run to the leasing office under severe thunder storm. Of course, I brought my plenty of lingerie with me. I managed to get to there and carried out the mission. (mission?) I was relieved from bottom of my heart that I wasn't hit by lightning with my lingerie.
After that, I tried to keep the keys using a strap to dangle it from my neck, like this.
I think the most helpful English phrase to me while I stayed in the U.S., it was....
"Could you borrow room key?"
Guys, please don't forget to have your room's key when you go out.
The building on your left is the leasing office. ちょっと分かりづらいかな？
ウチのアパートはオートロック式で自動に鍵がかかってしまう。ゆえに部屋から出る時は鍵を持たねばならない。このアパートは自室に洗濯場は無く、共同のランドリーを使う。よってランドリーも鍵が必要となる。
洗濯をしていた時の事。
あっ！鍵を持ってくるの忘れちゃったよ！
私はビニール袋いっぱいの洗濯物（自分の下着）と共に閉め出されてしまった。
鍵を開けるには隣の棟のレンタルオフィスまで行かないとならない。が、
運悪く外はもんのすごい雷！レンタルオフィスへ行くにはこの凄まじい稲妻攻撃をかいくぐらなければならない。だが、この下着はどうする？
下着を置いて行くのも持って行くのも恥！ だが、そこらに置いて行くよりましだ。
意を決して、私は雷の中を下着の入ったビニール袋を携えレンタルオフィスまで走った。
下着類を後ろに隠し、鍵を貸してもらうよう要求。
無事、また部屋に入る事ができた。ミッションコンプリートリー。
大量の下着とともに雷に打たれずに本当によかったと思っている。
Help me!!
2007-10-04
Well, let me continue a talk that story.We arrived at our apartment. Because I was very tired, anyway, I wanted to rest soon to heal fatigue by long trip.
He asked me to receive the parcel from USPS during his absence. And he added that
"Have the room key when you are going out, or you'll be locked out from the room."
You see, this room's door is closed automatically as same as some hotels.
I said to him "OK! I see. Consider it done!" don't worry about it! (´∀｀)ノ
After that, the deliverer from USPS came. I was very nervous whether I could get it properly.
Although I was given some advice, I got it outside of the room without the key.
O-M-G-!! I was locked out from my room completely! As you know, I can't speak English at all. I didn't know what I should do..... I got lost. orz.... Help me!
I never dreamed I was in a trouble right after, although I had just arrived in the U.S.
I kept waiting for someone Japanese residents appeared at the entrance hall.
Perhaps,I was waiting for about 1~2 hours?? Fortunately, a Japanese family appeared, and then I asked for their help desperately.
Through their help, I could come back to inside the room again. I appreciate them.
I thought my life in the U.S. would be heading for trouble....
