apartment

the new apartment is terrific. better than words can express... especially when i'm comparing it to the lap of luxury in which i used to reside.

a heated toilet seat is greater than you can ever know. it's something to look forward to daily. ha.

this place is technology, man. it's the real Japan. i have a built-in security system in my kitchen; if the doorbell is rung a camera turns on and i can view who is at my door in real time. i can either ignore them, or tell them to go away from my kitchen via intercom. what fun!

the light in my entrance way goes on and off with the unlocking and locking of my front door (by card key). my hot water is digital and programmable.

this does not even include the location factor. last weekend we walked to coco's restaurant for dinner, and to our new karaoke watering hole (turns out that we have the option to bring in our own bevies at this place!!). and as if tressa and i didn't spend enough time together before, we are now privy to every intimate detail of one anothers' lifestyles! fantastic.

our bosses bought us 10 sets of towels, all nicely wrapped, so that we may carry-out the japanese custom of pleasant neighbourly introductions. we are to go door-to-door to the other 10 apartments in our complex (3 buildings) and test our japanese language skills with the locals. yikes.

i will try to post pictures of the new apartment if i ever get my camera back.
