Hi everyone!
I'm finally bum to couch vertically in my new home after a very long and tiring trip (after a quick lie down on the said couch) I really wanted to actually sleep in those futony things but I don't know how to set it up and will have to wait for my flatmate(s?) to come back and tell me which one lies over what. At the moment I have the smallest room in the apartment but after some initial snooping around I realised I might only have one flatmate as opposed to two. (might upgrade myself to next biggest room...hmmm) Anyhoo, I'm ecstatic that I could go online wirelessly here so it almost feels like home. Online, anytime! (Take that, Alan!) Plus I'm only an hour behind Syd, so techically speaking I could still continue email conversations with Bec and Von :)
I don't think the concept of being in Japan has sunken in yet. There weren't any glitches to speak of (mmm actually, there was a minor thing...I left my information pack - which included a map and a key to my apartment - plus other important things as well.. like, err my contract - in the bathroom stall in a station toilet. I only remembered on the way back down to the platform and you should've seen me scuttle like a bug back in and did the charades with the bathroom lady. (I thought she picked it up because it wasn't in the cubicle...turned out I picked the wrong one and it was actually the stall next door) To make the situation slightly even more ridiculous, the train I was catching was arriving in 2 mins and yeaaah...sounds very Charlene. The Nova guy that was taking me to my apartment thought it was because the queue was long. It was, but I didn't bother to correct him. No one here needs to know. Oh, the Nova personnel's called Cookie. (Like, Oreo cookie) And he's a guy. I asked him why he name himself as a biscuit ("err, were you parents baking hippies?") and I found out it was actually a Chinese name to begin with (He's Chinese British) but alot of non Chinese had a problem pronouncing his real name so this was as phonetically close to it as he could get.
Hmm I might post some photos of the apartment afterwards. I need to go out and grab supplies while I'm wide awake.
