New Apartment / 新しアパート

Blah! Since my last post I’ve been kinda sick and really busy. Well I know which classes I’ll be teaching (well about 80% sure.) I’m pretty happy about my classes.

And... Yay... I moved into my own apartment a 10 minute walk to my job. No more 40 minute or so commute. The apartment is HUGE I was amazed. I thought it would be more like my friends palaces in Nishinomiya, but no. It’s almost too big. I love it, I’m like equal walking distance from a CoCo curry, an Osho(王将), a 105円 kaiten sushi, and a porn book and video store. Could life get any better I ask?

Oh it can---Meat:safety.

Oh and I saw a guy in front of the Japan (a Family Dollar/Pick-n-Save like discount store) today who while waiting for the drink machine to pour his soda walked across the parking lot, to take a quick piss on the bush next to the curb. This, I might add, was in plain view of not only me but two kids waiting at the bus stop and at like 11:30 in the morning. Glory.
Anyhow here's a few photos I took riding around Sanda and of my new apartment. I hope you like them.
I’ll have a few things to say about my little one night trip out to Fukui sometime soon.

Your apartment looks great you are so lucky.... take some more pictures so we can see more of the area around your apartment and school. the layout of the river is the same of all the other rivers in the cities, I know they get lots of use on weekends but that design must work well for them. looks like the ones in kobe/osaka we went over. Love the bike....
