For some reason, there is a big bag of bedding in my room which looks very comfy but which cost upwards of 3000 yen to lease. Crazy landlord--I'm not paying for blankets and comforters that other people used before. Apparently there's a difference between bedsheets for beds and those for futons. Finally have some covering for the bed :)
My apartment is next to a street, and throughout the day, sometimes cars drive by and the occupants would speak out of a loudspeaker as they cruised past, selling stuff and announcing some other things that I don't understand. It gets annoying sometimes. I keep wondering if it is elections time or some local extortion scheme.
TV is pretty interesting, all in Japanese of course, including the "Rambo Part I" that was aired on Friday night. Somehow Stallone cussing in Japanese didn't sound very convincing.
Some friends brought me to eat pepperoncino and later to an observation tower near Shinjuku station.
Lots of people as usual. Atop the tower, the 360-degree view was pretty good.
One thing I found interesting was amidst all the tourists, I felt just like one of them, but it dawned upon me that I was actually living in Tokyo and not boarding a plane out of the country in a few days' time. Still quite amazing...
