So in the midst of my job searching I decided to change my life completely, which means finding another place to live. I've always thought going to another city or another country makes a great change in life; of course that's true, but I'm starting to realize that's not the only way to make a change in life. I think it's actually more difficult to change your life with what's already given to you at a certain time and a certain location. Right now, as I am almost turning 30 and I'm stuck in Tokyo, I'm trying to make myself stronger and learning a lot of things to make things better. Job search isn't so much fun, but the apartment search is better. It's almost funny to be looking for those two things at once because one is how to get more money for less time and the other one is how to get more time (considering the commuting time and the walking distance from the station etc...) with less money. Although, looking for an apartment isn't as easy as I expected in Japan- there is key money, insurance, deposit...broker's fee...man, it's gonna eat up my whole savings before I know it! So I'm hurrying up with the job search too - yup, it's a good balance. Here are some photos of the apartments that I LOVED.
