yay apartment!

I actually love my house... things are feeling better now that I'm able to settle in. In the house I've met a French couple and a Russian guy. His girlfriend and an American guy I haven't met yet. Everyone seems really nice!

My room is traditional style... I pull out the futon at night. Tatami mats. It's small, but all the room I need really. Pictures!

With the futon pulled out:


and this is a picture of me on New Year's with a crazy Japanese man. His jacket was 110% sequins and apparently I asked for a picture with him.

lol drunk emily.......

and this was a view from my hostel, which was pretty awesome.


The skyscrapers look pretty far there, but they're not. Maybe 5 stops/15 minutes on the train.

Anyway, I'm getting my cellphone today in the mail, so I guess I'll kind of organize myself here, maybe study some nihongo, and wait for the package.

Later!
