Goodbye

I have lived in Japan for a whole five months and I'm now on my second move. I really love my current apartment. It's dirt cheap, conveniently located 6 minutes (I once sprinted it in 2 minutes) from the train station, and BIG (60 square meters, which is big by Japanese standards). Here is your first and sadly last look at my 1st Japanese apartment.  Goodbye my love, I will miss you:


Goodbye my furnitureless livingroom with view of a giant machine and small patch of wild growth of a "backyard:"



Goodbye my coveted 6-tatami mat room with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling closet space:



Goodbye neighbors - I'll miss trying to block your view of me changing while still keeping the blinds open so I could see what I was doing every morning. I'll miss listening to you laugh hysterically at the tv until 12am or ease dropping in on your family conversations.  Oh and I can't forget, I'll miss listening to you in the shower.  Oh the fond memories we've shared:




Goodbye my DK (dine-in kitchen) that is so awkwardly shaped I never could figure out how to fit a table in you. But sadly, I won't miss your propane burners that would never light without practically catching my hair on fire.  I'll be much safer away from you:



Goodbye bathroom/laundry room, I'll miss listening to the old man next store have a coronary every time I got dressed in the morning:



Goodbye shower room...I won't miss scrubbing the daily accumulation of mold off your white tile walls, sorry :(





Goodbye entry way! I'll never forget how diligently you worked to keep out the stench of garbage bags awaiting garbage day! My nose is eternally grateful:



Goodbye toilet room.  You did your duty well of course except for the time you broke and left us toiletless for two days...




Goodbye :'(
