Cherry blossoms
This is the bridge I run across to go to my gym.
Some of the Japanese style landscaping around the houses near me.
My mini-kitchen, a washing machine in the back there, and shower on the right (finally!)
The ladder up to my loft, which is currently being used for storage, but has a second bed for any good friends who might stop by.
A bed. No more sleeping on the floor for me.
Back yard view from window.
They say you never know what you what you have until you lose it, and as much as I like to disagree with what people say, I have to admit that this is true. I just knew I wouldn't miss my last job, but it turns out that I do. Maybe it's because it was so simple, or because I left so abruptly. Or maybe it's because of the extremely sentimental package that I received from my school.
(Can you find me??? Hint: I'm the white guy)
However, there are many advantages to living in Tokyo. I am most thankful for the small things, such as having my own bathroom (instead of bathing publicly), a bed (as opposed to sleeping on the floor in a futon), and being within a stone's throw of a nice supermarket, within walking distance to restaurants, and only 20 minutes by train to Shinjuku.
So I am actually living in the burbs of Tokyo, and it is not quite as bustling here as in the city, which is a good thing. I can still enjoy a bit of nature here as well.
Today I had to go to the ward office to officially change my address so I can be a resident of the city. On the way, I noticed how much warmer it has gotten and that Spring has finally arrived, after a long, cold winter.
