Get In The House

Those of you who have lived with me (and probably most of the rest of you) know that I'm a total slob at home, so you can understand why I haven't posted any pictures of my apartment yet, but a friend was coming over for dinner and LOST so I cleaned all weekend! It's not perfect, but it's very clean for me, so here you go:


First, my building from the outside, I live on the second floor.


Here's a rough layout for reference.The front door is in the kitchen.

The bathroom is on the right.
This is looking back at the front door.

There are two rooms, but the sliding doors between them open all the way. This is my living space.

This is what it looks like at night. I sleep in a traditional Japanese futon, which is nothing like futons in the States! It's basically thick blankets that you put in the closet during the day (theoretically).

And this is what it looks like in the winter. There is an electric heater attached to the underside of the table. It so toasty warm under there!

This is looking back at the middle room.

I have a small balcony where the washing machine is, and I hang my clothes to dry out there. There is a grocery store right behing my building. Here's the view.
