Artist's commentary
恥ずかしい勘違いでした!
6月6日に台湾例大祭に行く人に、この4コマで万が一パスポートなくしたらどうしたらいいか参考になればと思ってましたが、どうも当日までに話がそこまでいかなさそうなので、ネタバレになりますけど書いときます。
まず旅行前に日本の役所で住民票をとってきて、それのコピーでもいいので携帯しといたほうがいいです。
免許証は役に立たないそうですので。
で、まず警察に届けたあと大使館にいくことになりますが、台湾には日本大使館というものはありません。
「台北駐日経済文化代表処」というところに行ってください。
ここは土日はやってないそうなのでご注意です。
まあ、なくさないのが一番なので、台湾行かれる方は十分注意してくださいね。
What an embarrassing mistake!
I thought this strip just might be good reference for those going to Taiwan Reitaisai on June 6 on what to do if one loses one's passport. However, by this point, it seems the story isn't going to go in that direction, so I'll write it here, though it'll include spoilers.
First, before your trip, you should get a certificate of residence from a government office in Japan and carry it, or even a copy of it, on you. That's because it seems a driver's license isn't of any use here.
So, once you've reported the lost passport to the police, you then go to the embassy, but there's nothing actually called a "Japanese Embassy" in Taiwan. Instead, you go to this place called the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Office". Please note that isn't open on Saturdays.
Well, the most important thing is not to lose it in the first place, so those of you going to Taiwan, please take sufficient care.
