Found the perfect apartment!

Finding an apartment is much more complicated than I thought.
Especially how the system is in Japan.

They have too many terms that each refer to a different type of apartment or something else that has to do with the apartment.

1DK, 2LDK, 1R, key money, chintai, deposit money, maintenance fee, water insurance fee, guarantors…etc.

Most importantly, I needed to find a place that allows pets for my Aki.
That made the apartment hunting even take longer, but I finally managed to find one!

Hope everything works out.

personal life japan osaka

The food in Osaka is delicious.
My fellow classmates are fucking amazing.
Living alone rocks.
Seeing new things is exciting.

Still, life in Japan is harsh.

Very long hours of school/work.
Living expenses are very high.
Can’t find time for fun or for errands, such as washing clothes or paying bills.
ATMs close at 6pm on weekdays, and at 5 or 4pm on weekends or holidays. They open at 9am.
