Daily Life in Japan

Daily Life in Japan

Well, It's almost a month since I have been here. I guess I have gotten used to it, even though I did got lost for at least five times in places where directions were given. It really feels so different than Penang. At the very least, you have like people everywhere. The population scale is on a whole new level. I really can be considered a boy from a village or something here. The only problem with this is that the trains can make you empathize the Tunas in the cans.

In Penang, we can basically get anywhere by car within 35 minutes. Here, getting anywhere by train is so common and travelling for 2 hours to and from work is not particularly weird. In the mornings.... the trains are very packed. Before I got my electronic dictionary aka Nintendo DS(Shall elaborate on this later), I have to carry a four kilogram dictionary around and my textbooks. There was once when I was holding tightly to the handle and got pushed inside with my bag forcing my back until my whole body was vibrating. Lately though, I didn't experience such level of density so it is indeed a good thing for my back plus I no longer carry something this big.

My breakfast everyday would either be breads or bananas. I find it cheaper that way. Lunch would be within a budget of rm 11 and dinner would probably be less. Sometimes I go to McDonald and spend Rm 6 for two burgers. Rice balls, Beef rice aka Gyudon, vegetables and so on are part of my daily meals. My house mates do cook sometimes so I can actually save more. I have to wash the plates in exchange:P

美味しい！！！！！

Saitama prefecture, Fujimi City, East Mizuhodai is the place I'm living in. The train station is directly beneath my apartment. My room is small when viewed by my friends but I find it fine especially when my place cost less than half of the usual hostels. I got a big wardrobe in my room. Thanks to that I can actually have enough space to store all the winter clothing I brought here. I keep on using the same clothes here cause more than half of what I brought is for winter. Now it is in a transition phase between spring and summer. So the weather is just nice.

What are the luxuries which I actually spend on since I arrive here? The first one would probably be what I proclaim as my wife or girlfriend. -.- Ya, It's weird but you are talking about me here. So allow me to introduce you the stylish, sexy and superb darling for me. SONY VAIO FZ CUSTOM MADE (It is cheaper by being custom made and is assembled in Japan). In addition, I got a Logitech (called Logicool here) VX Revolution mouse to match her :) The mice is ergonomically designed and thus very comfortable to use. I got a Nintendo DS as my electronic dictionary. It is cheaper than other electronic dictionaries and I gain a gaming console in the progress. Ain't that just wonderful? Ok la -.- luxuries stop here-.- The rest I got to hold on to my urges and whatever.

My Sexy VAIO FZ :P

This Lil Fella saved me a lot of frustrations and Inconvenience:p
