ニューマンション!



We finally moved out of old, stinky, dirty, noisy, roach-infested, Yakuza-swarmed, poop-filled Daikokucho to the kinda-newer, cleaner, quieter, cuter-bug-filled, more secretive-Yakuza-swarmed, poop-less, more expensive and less convenient Nishinomiya, in Hyogo Prefecture.



My Studio (^-^)vThe shower, sink, and washer


This is the kinda place where everyone drives a BMW and pays higher prices because the stores know they can charge more. That leaves us, the poor, very nearly in the fucking cold.



The kitchen and dining areaThe very messy living room plus wife


This is the kind of place that has only one bus every TWO hours in the mornings. The evenings only are a bit more frequent. My legs are so buff from my twice-daily 20-minute walks up and down sometimes impossibly steep hills. This, of course doesn't include the hour-or-more traveling I have to do by trainZ to and from work!



The BedroomNolan's future room, when he's big enough to need it.


When we finally moved into this 'brand-new' apartment, it was filled with so many broken things, like the sink's drain that was held together with duck-tape (our personal favorite) and getting each the problems fixed was like sucking on a shark-nipple - we met much resistance. In Japan, no one wants to do anything. They do, however work very hard to pass the buck - which my wife does not tolerate! Hooray for American corruption!





I can't complain about the view, though.
