Thought you all might be interested in seeing pics of our home. Needless to say, it is smaller than our home, back home, however it's cozy and has a whole lotta storage. I am impressed by the space management of the apartment.
Our kitchen is small with only 3 stove-top gas burners and a very tiny broiler, where you would think the oven should be. In actuality, our microwave is more than just a nuker. It acts as a toaster oven where you could bake anything from chicken to cookies. It has many other features that I can't remember since it's in Japanese characters... I better learn, I guess. Here's Markus taking his first Japanese bath and playing basketball at the same time.
The bathroom is pretty versatile. It holds the washer/dryer unit in the closet. The bathtub automatically fills up to whatever level you want and it remains at a constant temperature that you desire. The toilet room is situated in it's own tiny room across the hall...a bit weird to get used to at first...but I was aware of this difference from my previous visit to Japan. I think one of the bonuses to this apartment is the city view outside our balcony. On a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji in the distance, which is just a beautiful site amidst the hectic city.

A magnified view of Mt. Fuji, from our balcony. Rodney's first thought when he saw this view was that he couldn't believe he actually climbed the mountain. I hope to attempt it sometime this year...possibly with Markus piggy-backed...yeah right!!

Rod and Rode,
Your place looks great!
I am glad that you are taking advantage of your new environment exploring, shopping and learning the language.
It's a challenge worth trying and so is that mountain.
