We took an icecold shower, packed our bags (and the stuff I left behind 2 years ago!) and made for Shiki station. We then realized that we didn't print out the lease agreement, so we first went back to Hatagaya to print the agreement, then we made for Shinjuku. I left Jor in a coffee shop, seeing as I'm supposed to be renting the place on my own >_> I got the keys and we got our stuff from the coinlockers and went for Sangenjaya. Which is good and all since we know busses 31, 32, 33 stop right in front of the appartement... but when we looked, we couldn't find the right bus.
Frustrated and very tired, we decided to take a cab, who just pulled over in the vicinity of our appartment. Jor actually went into one building to see if it was the right one... and it wasn't. After asking a few people and a florist, we find the entrance to our humble abode and finally move in.
And it's very humble.
Not that I mind, I'm used to Japanese houses, I think. While we originally planned for Kimberley, Jordy and me to take the larger room, we found out at head office that the landlord might stop by unannounced and that when he sees more people in there than there should be (which is just me) we'll all get evicted. So we decided to just clean up the house every morning and get out before office hours.
Sucks, but it's a whole new adventure!
We spent the rest of the day unpacking and settling, so no real pictures, except for one. I come home from some shopping and see this huuuge bug on the curtains. Yuck.

Did you leave Jordy in the coffeeshop, or had Jordy decided to stay in the coffeeshop ? Probably the last.......
