| The tub...
|
| Crossing the threshold into the tatame rooms... Here you go barefoot.
|
| The right room looking out the back...
|
| Here's Katie sitting in our wonderful orange couch.
|
| That's our laundry.
|
| The sliding doors between the left room and right room open up. Here is the view from the left room looking into the right room.
|
| Our closet...
|
| The futon in the closet.
|
| Here is our Japanese Syllabary poster.
|
| Our map of Japan and my cluttered shelves...
|
| From the right room looking onto the left room...
|
| The TV in the left room.
|
| That's the best friend we have here.. the AC.
|
| A somewhat complicated controller for the airconditioner. I think I know what everything does except for one button.
|
| This is the left room looking towards the front of the apartment.
|
| Here's our new futon spread out in all of its glory.
|
| That's the computer table where I'm typing this and Katie's organized shelves.
|
| The view out the back from the left room. Those are our trash cans on the balcony. We must separate the burnable and nonburnable trash or the old ladies in the neighborhood will go through our trash and talk bad about us behind our backs.
|
| That's the view out the back on our balcony. Yes, we are surrounded by rice patties. Yes, we live in a city. That's Mt. Mirakuni that sits in the middle of the city. Mt. Hino, which is much larger, sits directly behind Mt. Mirakuni.
|
| Also off our back balcony... That's our clothes drying rack on the right.
|
| Another picture of Mt. Mirakuni...
|
| Rice rice rice...
|
| This is the restaraunt next door: Taketonbo
|
| The Taketonbo is known in Takefu as having great (relatively) cheap food and drinks. The food is great.
