Tarto in Japan

Japanese buildings are crap. If you ever need to look for an apartment here, you should remember that only the マンション (mansion) type roughly guarantees you're not going to share your neighbor's privacy because of poor phonic isolation. No problem for me, I live in a good quality マンション, even though its name is totally weird:

"Maison de première", which literally translates to "House of first"...

My apartment is not huge but I like it. I still need to decorate it but it's totally functional now. In terms of furniture, I have everything I need, including a kotatsu:

What's a kotatsu again? Well it's a heated table! Just put your legs under the blanket, switch on and get prepared to stay there forever, because it feels so good you don't want to move anymore.

When I eventually manage to get out of my kotatsu, I realize that I live right in the center of Nagoya. Also, I have a Lamborghini!...I can feel some sort of skepticism, so here's the proof:

Hey I never said it was a car...I know there's no point in buying a bicycle three times as expensive as it should be only because it is labelled "Lamborghini", but I got it for free. One of our clients gave it to us but nobody was using it.

Not only am I a mere ten minutes from my office, but I am close to everything else: leisure, restaurants, supermarkets, public offices etc, I can get anywhere within 10-15 minutes.

Besides, I was missing sport too much and I recently started to go to a gym close to my office. They are rather well equipped and they're open 24 hours, which is quite convenient, so I go in the morning before work. There's something I don't get though: who the hell is going to the 00:15 kickboxing lesson???!!

And finally, I have an optic fiber Internet access. I still haven't experienced the maximum bandwidth, but I remember that one time I reached 4MB/s...

Oh, I was about to forget: I got my JLPT level 1 results and as expected, I failed with 55% (70% is required to pass). No worries, I only took the test to check my level and my actual goal is to pass this year. I'm targetting 80% so I'd better get back to my books!
