So the trip from the hostel to the school went much better than the practice trip which resulted in me getting nice and lost on the Chuo train line. Below is a picture of the only other consistent guest at the hostel besides myself. His name is Kay. He is a very interesting individual and a fun one to talk to. In addition to keeping conversations interesting he can do it in seven languages fluently.
It really is a shame that the building is as empty as it is . . .there are 240 dorms here and currently there are maybe 8 people staying here. Many of the students from last semester left after the earthquake leaving a ton of stuff behind . . . I'm hoping I can snag myself a rice cooker.
And here we have my new home. . . quite charming, 10 x 20 are its dimensions. In that amount of space I have a toilet, shower, sink, bed, desk, refrigerator, kitchen sink, stove top and microwave. Basically everything I could need except for a washer and dryer, which I have to pay to use =(.
First thing was first. . .get settled in and buy some bed supplies. . . I think I did this wrong, LOL!
About 15,000 yen later and its starting to feel more like a home!
I got the bed thing situated the next night. . . I was attempting to shove my futon into a cover for a kakebuton (kinda like a comforter). . . I got it in there but as you can see from above, it wasn't right. So I went back to the store today to purchase a kakebuton. I was extremely tempted to purchase the Hello Kitty kakebuton, but I just couldn't justify the additional 1,500 yen for it.
