Accommodation

Today I signed the contract for my flat. This is something of a drawn-out process in which the landlord's agent reads the three separate contracts out loud. In Japanese. Took forever.

The flat is old and close to a railway. But it is a whopper (by Nippon standards and compared to my chums out here) and only 10 minutes from Shibuya which is dead central happening Tokyo. Having said that, it's in a quiet suburb with a park and is more reminiscent of Reigate than Soho.

I have the keys in my bag and move in tomorrow. But flats are rented completely unfurnished out here. No fridge. No cooker. No light in the bedroom. Not even a bed.

It will be an interesting first night.
