May 2nd

This will be my last blog update for a while, we are in the process of moving and our apartment won't have internet for about 10 days or so. We did manage to get our things moved over to the new place with the help of a guy on Craigslist with a truck. Since it was mostly suitcases and futons and bedding we're borrowing from Atsuko we managed it all in one load.  We've spent the last couple of days frantically looking for furniture, so far we've purchased a sofa (delivery...end of May) , Dining table and chairs.. (delivery May 9th), Washer and Fridge (delivery tomorrow). We also purchased a table for an office desk that we CARRIED home about 10 blocks!

It took us forever with lots of stops, the table was very heavy. However with only futons for furniture we really wanted to get a table, now we have to find a chair or two and at least we'll have a place to sit.  We picked up kitchen stuff yesterday too, pots, and pans and some dishes. We still need to buy a bed and a chest of drawers and a desk for me but we're getting there. We also got curtains for the windows, it was cool because when we opened the pack they already had plastic curtain hooks on them so all we needed to do was hang them up! We are both sore and tired though from all the walking and carrying stuff, Ibuprophen is our friend!

 Here's a short video from the balcony of our apartment, we are on the 4th floor. This is overlooking Inokashiradori street and it's a strait shot to Kichijoji from here.

I will take a video of the apartment once I have it furnished and looking like a home and not a flop house! That's it for now, until we get our internet up!
