Well, getting an apartment as a foreigner isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Certainly, I have somewhere to stay until I find a place, but it's never good to wear out your welcome anywhere. After 9 days, I might just start to do that here.
In my last post I mentioned the guarantor requirement. One of the teachers at the school I will be attending will act as my guarantor, so I took the documents today to the real estate office. Then, they told me that they themselves would have to speak with the guarantor, and that that would have to wait until Monday (given that it is the weekend).
Then, they'll have to call the actual landlord of the property, which will probably happen Monday afternoon or Tuesday, so we're looking at Wednesday as about the earliest I can be in my new apartment.
However, on the excitement of submitting the completed application with my guarantor's information, I went straight to Tokyu Hands and started to outfit my new apartment before I even am living there.
Buying things -- like placemats and chopsticks -- brings up an interesting feeling I've been having about my "moving around" thing. I'll get to that lateron, but as for now, I'm going to rest: there's a big night tonight.
I'm going up to Shinagawa to see Asako and her sister; I haven't seen her for just about three years now.
