Maybe I should stop carrying this around

Because I got that alien registration card, Japanese immigration almost stopped me from coming back into the country. Before Incheon would hand me my ticket to Narita, they made me buy another ticket out of Japan - with a warning, of course, not to use it. The immigration officer in the interview room finally welcomed me with "Ok. You can stay. But don't come back too soon."
Heller, call me.

whoa. I guess this is a better system than the thing I heard about - people coming to teach english in Japan and then...not being able to afford to leave. I'm not sure what that means, even.

does America have policies like this? I guess I'm just ignorant.
