城陽市役所と他の用事The Joyo City Office and other errands

While I'm in Japan, I have to have a registration card documenting my status as a foreigner. So today, after classes, I went with my host family to the Joyo city office to turn in the necessary forms.

日本にいる間に、外国人登録証が持っていなくてはいけない。今日は、授業の後で、ホストファミリーと申込書を出しに城陽市役所に行った。

In keeping with government practice, I had to write the exact same thing several times. Is it really so hard to just write important information once? Oh, and one would think that since this was absolutely necessary, that they would be relatively quick about handling it. Nope. I get to wait a full month before it's ready. I can go pick it up on the 6th of October. It would seem that the Joyo city office is a little slow, hmm?

いつも通りの経世だ。同じ事を何度も書かなくてはだめ。大事なことを一つだけ書くことは本当に難しいかな。そして、これは絶対に必要だから、速くした方がいいだと思う。そうだけど、僕は一ヶ月待たなければならない。この登録証は10月6日にもらいます。城陽市役所はちょっと遅いみたいね。

As annoying as the city office was, we did go to what was effectively a mall after that. That was fun. We had ice cream, and then I got to go shopping again! I had less free time for this one, though. Either way, I did go to the bookstore, and picked up a copy of a magazine called Nyantype there. Considering that the chapters of Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force, the newest Nanoha manga, are being released in that magazine, I don't see how I could avoid buying it. Even if it is kinda hard to read.

市役所は面倒くさいけど、その後城陽市にいるショッピングセンターに行った。楽しかった。アイスクリームを食べて、また買い物に行った。まあ、今度はもう少し暇な時間があった。でも、本屋に行って、「娘TYPE」（ニャンタイプ）という雑誌を買った。魔法戦記リリカルなのはForceの新しいマンガがあるから、買わなければならない。でも、ちょっと読みにくい。
