I got that at Takasaki the last time I was there. I think part of it
may have been due to their having been moved from the dismal dump they
used to occupy and into a very nicely appointed set of offices in
another building.

I think I was there only about 15 minutes total the last time. The
only (other) odd thing was that Mr. Immigration seemed surprised that
I had ventured to Immigration all alone.
