私達のアパート Our Apartment

We have relocated to Yamanashi-ken. We signed a year contract to teach in five different elementary schools. We live in the city now, which has its pluses and minuses – but the view is grand! Here is the view from our balcony.

We also have some unfamiliar household electronics, a digital hot water thermostat, an intercom for speaking to someone at the door, an ADSL modem that uses old copper wires for high-speed internet, a remote control for the heater/air-conditioner, and an electronic toilet with too many functions to list. As if the gadgets aren't complicated enough, all the controls are in Japanese!












I have really enjoyed our Japanese-style room with sliding paper doors and "tatami" straw matted flooring.
