Update: My room!

I've been so busy with various activities, I haven't had time for an update. I don't even have time now, but here are some quick pictures of my room! I'll make a real update when I can. Really quickly, life is amazing here and I'm basically having the time of my life. But now I must study Japanese, because it is difficult and requires much studying!

My kitchen! Fridge/freezer on the left. That's my new rice cooker in the middle, my pride and joy. I love having my own kitchen!

View looking the other way. Pantry and such.

The bathroom is a combined toilet and shower. And they said that multitasking doesn't happen in Japanese society!

Looking more into the main part of the room. The bed is quite comfortable actually, with a futon top and a strange pillow that seems to be made of beans. That's my new guitar over there in the corner, obtained two days before I left the US. I've been very happy with it! More on that later. Two maps of Japan are taped to the wall there, one in English (free at the Japan Tourism Center in LA!) and one in Japanese (only ¥100, about $1!). Currently, the top shelf of that metal thing is inhabited by my Jōdō (杖道："the way of the staff") gi (the uniform for it), as well as a karate gi, and my nice camera.

View looking a bit to the left (instead of a bit to the right), where you can see my Bashō print, my dehumidifier, and some of my desk.

The Desk! Somehow I managed to finagle United Airlines into letting me bring all those books without any fees at all. Nice. That's my New Japanese Cell Phone From The Future, on the right.

And in the daytime, my balcony.

My Excellent Panda, and my Boss Coffee poster that I got for free. I don't know if you knew this, but Suntory Boss is the Boss of them All.

NOW MUST STUDY
