My Temporary Home

Making myself some dinner. I have one plate, one pot, one fork, one knife, one spoon, one cup, one glass. Doesn't exactly allow me to make a gourmet meal...

Work and sleep happen pretty close to each other...


My Dad has been insistently asking for photographs from my apartment. It is really not an interesting place, but I took this as an opportunity to try out a photo(shop) technique that I have had on my mind for a long time now.

So here's my apartment. One room that works for eating, sleeping, computering. The photos were taken from a TV that sits in the middle of the room. I only get Japanese TV, which is kind of hard to understand. They do have a lot of baseball though, and I can understand some of that. There is a Japanese pitcher named 'Sweeney'. Not Sweenitami, not Sweenizuka, but plain old Sweeney.

As do all other places in Tokyo, my room gets very hot. I have an AC, but I can't figure out how to make it work just right. It's either too hot or too cold, but it's never right. How I miss those smelly Halifax Harbour breezes.

Overall my room rates pretty well. After all this is Tokyo and space is premium here.

  2. No roaches inside but there are giant ones outside. They can even fly here. Very scary.
