So I have finally moved into my apt. The first day, I couldn’t find it. I had to track down a drawn map made by the previous occupant: the person I am replacing. My apt. is not as small as they are in Tokyo so that is a pleasant surprise. There is however no convenience store nearby at all. 

I’ve been sick with a cold/cough since I got here. It flared up again pretty bad this week. But I seem to be getting better finally. Hopefully I will be healthy soon.

I don’t expect to get an Internet connection for another month. I need my foreigner card first. I get that in… just over a week. Then I can place an order for an Internet connection. I hope I can bum a connection off my coworker until then. I will know this Friday.

I still haven’t got my laptop shipped to me yet. Will try to get that lined up later today.

I have this terrible granny bike. Tires were out of air and I scored a 100 yen pump. It worked. But it is a bitch since I am weak as hell.
