at our apartment in Tokyo last Tuesday. I had already seen pictures of the apartment, so I wasn't that shocked, but it is small. It's starting to feel more spacious, but I think part of that feeling is due to the fact that everything is scaled down. So it looks big as I sit here typing, but when I get up and walk around everything shrinks. I think Heather feels more at home. This picture of Heather in front of our front door should give you an idea of proportion. In case you haven't seen her in person, she is about 5'5". She is not a giant, I promise.Here are some more pictures of the apartment:
Our first morning here we went to the grocery store together. It was a bit of an adventure. We were probably there for an hour trying to figure out what was what. As you can imagine, fresh fish isn't that hard to come by. Here is a little glimpse of what you might find.
We go to a grocery store that is not just for individuals, but also for restaurants, so I don't know if everything there is standard. At this grocery store you are supposed to bag your own groceries. This is Heather doing that very thing:
Now that food and shelter are taken care of, the rest is cake.

Haha, maybe it was the Japanese branch of the Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good. Yeah, we're having a blast so far. Miss you too.
I'm 5'6", slanderer.
I'm no slanderer. I have a very reliable source. I think you know him. His name is measuring tape. He's a really cool guy, and knows a lot about peoples' height. Now that I think about it, you probably don't know him, since you think you're 5'6". I'll introduce you, sometime.
