Looking for an apartment in Tokyo #8..

Shinsen Kouwa Palace: 2LDK, 155,000 per month

Deep breath, this could be the one.....

*edit: knocked back again, even after having been told "foreigners okay" for 3 weeks! This isn't fun at all..

Looking for an apartment in Tokyo #7..

Shoto Residence: 3DK, 180,000 per month

Applied for this one a couple of times before being "beaten" to the punch (at the 25th hour) by a Japanese applicant. The third knockback because we are not Japanese..



This one had an awesome balcony:

Construction Progress..

Progressive views of the construction downstairs, it's finally starting to look like something!















and no doubt, more to come!

India

Feels like ages since I got back, I wanted to put some pics up but not necessarily on this blog soooo, here's one and a link to a whole page full of pics..

Tokyo Stormtrooper

Danny Choo has an awesome blog on Japan, and can pull some pretty smooth dance moves in a stormtrooper suit as well!

The Flea Marketeers

There's a bi-monthly Flea Market down at NHK park, these are from a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty crowded (and cold!).

Captain Zipper..

Getting used to the D200, these from a rock show in Kichijoji last Saturday..

Looking for an apartment in Tokyo #6..

Shoto, 2LDK: 190,000 per month

Unusual to find something on the ground floor, this one was filthy but the landlord was gonna totally refurbish it before the new tenants moved in. Interesting little layout, even had a little yard. Too expensive though..





:O

Looking for an apartment in Tokyo #5..

Maruyamacho, 1LDK: 159,500 per month

Thought we were getting somewhere here, big enough and nicely renovated, almost perfect location and not too expensive but whats that? Oh, bathroom in the kitchen.. >_<





Nice little sliver of a view of 246 though..

Yoyogi Park Snow..

So much fun, even found a little tribe of snowmen in the middle..

NHK Park Snow..

Snowy Sunday Tokyo Style..

We ventured out into the snow yesterday. Woke up to a sea of white, then took the walk through Shoto..
