Yeah! I got the keys to my apartment today. Everything went without a hitch. I was starting to freak out and wonder if I had made a mistake. After all, 800 sq ft with three bedrooms was seeming smaller and smaller and smaller. I started wondering if it was going to be a rotten place, and uncomfortable to live. After all, I had not seen it since April 8 or whatever day I first went apartment hunting (and the only day I went apartment hunting).<\/p>\n
I am happy to report that I think I made the right decision. The apartment is really nice. Indeed it is small, but not at all small by Japanese standards. As a matter of fact, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure calling it small would be offensive to many people. It is certainly more than enough for me. It has all mod cons as well. Heated floor, nice bathroom with real tile, a travertine entry way. AC in two rooms, a modern kitchen, some recessed lighting, and even a dishwasher (that I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 really not important to me but I have it). There is even a special box for residents when they receive large packages, so you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to be home for that.<\/p>\n
I am going to be very comfortable there. The noise from the street below is detectable, but remember I live near an airport and a fire station in LA, so what’s some street noise?<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m really excited to be getting my furniture on Saturday. Yippee!!!! I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll try to get some pictures and post them ASAP. Then Sunday will be filled with further purchases to minimally complete the place (lamps, drapes, duvet cover, etc). What a nice feeling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
