dorm room

(Old Post)

Saturday is my room cleaning/major laundry day, so excuse the bare bed and clothes hanging up.

Yatsu International Dormitory (谷津国際寮）

Yes, that's my laundry in the window.
Can't hang out outside because it was raining.

Hildegarde says "Heeeyy"
Also, my bed can fold up.
Much better than a bunk bed.

  

This is my bathroom. A little bare, but easy to clean.

Good closet space. And hi luggage!

This is my room. It's pretty cozy. I have an air conditioning unit, which was pretty handy when it was super hot.  The only issue I have with the dorm (and I guess a good part of Japan) is that there is no central heating in the building.

So, the lovely Roxy Dao and Momoko informed me that I just have to change my air con to 'heat setting'. When I actually bothered to look at the remote for my air unit, I saw that, yes, that is all I had to do. How glorious. Much warm. So heat. wow. No freeze.

So, this isn't 一人暮らし (hitorigurashi, single life) per se, but I've gotten a good sense of how much food I actually need (not think I need), resigned to filling out paper work (been used to that though), paying rent monthly (cries).

Living alone for real won't be that bad. Assuming I have an income flow of course (obviously). I mean, quasi doing it in a country where I am not a citizen and don't even fucking fluently speak the language erases a lot of anxiety I didn't even know I had about living alone back in the states, where I can successfully understand all forms
given to me without the aid of a dictionary (yeah!)
