New Home

On January 7, Aki and myself moved into our new place. The move from her old place was aided by Aki's friend who had a truck, his friend, Anthony, Brad and Colleen (who had just arrived in Japan the day before). We were finished in about 3 hours then Brad and I went to watch a rugby game down the road (Anthony's old team were playing).
As for our new home, it is fantastic! We are very conveniently located just 10 minutes walk from Yokohama Station and for Aki it is 3 minutes walk to her work. We have a great park across the road where I can kick around the rugby ball. It is one of the very few parks I've seen in Japan that actually has grass!!! Most of them are just dirt. As for the inside, it has been recently refurbished so it looks very new. Aki's Mum was very generous in buying us many new things, while we bought a few things ourselves. The new furnishings include a massive fridge, Queen size bed, curtains, kitchen table, XBox and a 32" Widescreen HDTV.....and I bought myself a cool new cellphone.
