Apartment

Hello all!

I got these pictures a week or so ago... I'm not sure why I haven't posted them yet!

First, the outside of the building again (just so that you can get a feel for it without going back to the old post...)

I'll be on the second floor, first apartment all the way to the left.  (The one with the sign on the balcony.)

This is taken looking in through the front door.  I assume the cabinet on the right is for shoes.

After stepping into the room, turn right and you'll see the kitchen!

Standing in the kitchen, you can see through the sliding door to the living room, and to the left is the tatami mat bedroom.

The bathroom I imagine is directly left of when you walk in the front door in this little hallway area.  There is no picture for the area connecting this side of the room, but I'll know soon enough!

I am really lucky because many of the larger things are going to be bought for me by JET.  For example, they'll be supplying a small fridge, small washing machine, small gas countertop stove, microwave, rice cooker, Japanese style futon, shelf, lamp, fan, and AC unit.  All of these will be owned by JET however, so I will not be responsible for selling them when I leave after my served term.  Also, I was able to get some used items from someone who is leaving the area at the end of the month.  I think she'll be giving me a few bed sheets, cooking utensils, maybe a few books, and another small shelf.  She is trying to sell me her car, but I'm not sure I'll be using one.  I wish I was more certain though because she's selling it for only $600!  What a deal.  It is my plan to get as much stuff as I can used.  There are people moving in and out of the area all the time.  I'd hate to buy a whole bunch of items that I can only use for a year or more.
