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.

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 area | The 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 Bedroom | Nolan'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.
