Our Apartment

sorry these photos don't really give a true feel of how SMALL our apartment is... lol... seriously for approx $25 a night per person i ain't complaining... obviously to stay in an apartment for so cheap you need to stay for a month... which is fine by us...

our place seems to be in a pretty safe area (o yeah is the psyco japanese killer thats on the loose all over the news in Australia? coz he's on everything over here)... there's alot of little old ladies on bicycles riding around...

were about a 5km walk to Shibuya which is one of the main areas that makes up Tokyo... on the way theres an awesome supermarket called Marusho which i had to mention coz its so cute and the people are so nice!... there's also a Pachinko parlour, heaps of small hole in the wall restaurants, a cat cafe, a vet, a stamp shop etc...

anyways our apartment is one of three in the "sakura house" area...

o yeah Mum you will be in shock at how clean it is... lol we actually cleaned up this morning... ok well crowie did.. i watched

this is the bike bay... everyone loves riding bikes around here...



comon in... lol.. lame



our washing machine which we used this morning... after a few attemps... we then had to hang our washing outside on coathangers! coz that's what they do here!!!!



this is our bin area... you have to seperate "burnable" from "non burnable" and make sure theres no paper or plastic in the wrong bins and no liquid in any of them! THEN you have to put the bins out on certain days...
mon & thurs = kitchenwaste, paper/woodchips, clothes, cigerette filters and paper diapers...
sat = plastic containers, lightbulbs, glass, batteries and spraycans
fri= sorted newspapers, magazines, cardboards, glassbottles and cans



this is our wardrobe... lol you prolly didnt need to see that but there's more room in here than in the bedroom!



this is our fridge... it contains skippy peanut butter, asahi beer, soy sauce, jap strawberry lollies, water...



this is our bathroom.... it has a toilet, sink, bath which you wouldnt sit in coz its tiny and a shower (one of those stupid ones where you only need HOT on... grrr)
its VERY tiny and you end up smashing your elbows into the walls... and coz the walls are very thin the guy 3 rooms over heard you...



our kitchen sink... boring.. except for my cute mug



our adorable little toaster oven!!!! we use this every morning for our peanut butter toast!!!



our hanging light.. its got a koala on it



my bed!!! crowie seriously gets the futon which is folded up on the end of the bed... the bed is the size of a childs! and every night is the worst nights sleep ever!!! lol... i know it sounds like i hate this place.... i DON'T i just hate the bed...
can you see tofu pillow in this pic? isn't she cute?!!!



our study area... hahah this is our teeny desk... do you like crowie's towel? its got frogs on it... mine have strawberries... we got them from an old guy at the train station...



the view from our window which i only saw this morning for the first time... since it wasn't raining..



well tonite were staying in coz were going to do more sightseeing tomorrow morning... were going to watch Planet Terror (we watched Deathproof last night which i LOVED but crowie didnt) and eat our gyoza and yakitori dinner while crowie drinks asahi and i drink nothing...

:D bai bai!
