room looks good.  so how has japan been. its been like 6 months right?

I know this comment is a little late and off topic, but did you find it difficult to get your visa? I'm leaving for Japan, original plan to go to university and work part time (hopefully I'm able to do both) leaving sometime late spring to early summer, so I'm getting things wrapped up right now.

Also, ya it has been a while since you've given a status update, the place looks nice!

:) Well Lu... Better do everything possible to not have to move out or get a place that will move ALL your stuff for you >_>

@Anonymous: It was pretty painless. I went with a working holiday visa (valid for 1 year), which took me about 1 weeks. Then I got my current 3 years working visa in less than 2 weeks, though I was told that it may take up to 2 months.

@Vanek PI: I never left Tokyo during my time here, but it's quite good. Some things are more convenient, (like getting anime goods, commuting, and shopping), while some are not, (like getting an apartment and banking).

@Skeith The Terror Of Death: true true...

@luperry: thanks for the info, seems university is scratched off the list for a year, too expensive.  (I'll have to save up) now I'm leaving in June I guess. Should be in the Tokyo area but not Tokyo itself, I'm not ready to pay scary rent fees for apartments v_v (my Japanese is still crappy too, I'll be studying my butt off when I get there T_T) ttyl Lu~

Is this apartment still in tokyo? or another area now?

How much was the rent from your original place to the current one now? Im just trying to get a idea about how much the rent is compared to the size room you get =D

@Anonymous: it's not in the 23 wards, but in Metro Tokyo (Niiza in Saitama, to be precise), about 3 minutes away from my last place.

my old place was a single room at a guest house with no private kitchen nor bathroom, but all utilities are included in the rent, and fully furnished (bed, desk, chair, shelf, etc.), it was 55000 yen a month.

my new place is a normal apartment (called a "mansion" here) with a private kitchen and bathroom, utilities are not included, not furnished, and it's 75000 yen a month.

woooooooow 75000 yen?? thats about 815 a month in dollars o_o, your job MUST be paying good, considering its the apartment PLUS the utilities. -_-

Man...I wish my room is like that It looks really comfortable...^^

Your room indeed looks very comfy albeit a little messy. Nice room Perry. ;)

I envy you... but alas one day it'll be me...

good to see you're doing good buddy! packing sux man lol but if you dont pack it will take longer to move the stuff. at lease you have another reason to clean up your place

-balance

Ne Lu-kun :) I know you're busy and not subbing anymore, but will you keep us posted on .hack stuff when you have a deffinite date for .hack//link's release? ^_^ even though i'm pretty sure you will do so anyway :D

ありがとうございますルくん　：D

Yes, it does look quite comfy! I dread the thought of moving just because we have so much stuff. How does it happen that we acquire so much stuff?!

packing sux man lol but if you dont pack it will take longer to move the stuff

In Tokyo some things are more convenient like getting anime goods, commuting, and shopping on the otherhand some are not like getting an apartment and banking.

I would definitely pack the ceiling light but not the washing machine. I am interested in sociology history and art primarily as well as video games new technology like qwerty keyboards smart phones uuhhhh Yeah.
