continuing my moving story…
As soon as i complete the contract agreements that really confusing (lots paper that involve mass 印鑑(japanese seal/sign) i get the key and i can move as soon as i want, then i decide to move as fast as i can, i contact cheap moving service called 赤帽(akabou) then make schedule on March 29th. Thats is 2days before i move, 2days busy with boxing stuff, and sleepless on moving day.

Well indeed 赤帽 service cheap compared to other moving service, the cost is like 1/3 compared to other moving service, but you have to remember, you need to help the delivery courier moving your luggage (its like you pay moving service for yourself) and they service really harsh! if you want to use this service, please package your items neatly or it will mess up when you unpack it, in my case a really durable bag (made from thick parasite material) got thorn up, i can’t think how that durable bag can be thorned up…. but since i got the bag for free, oh well…

After making sure there aren’t missing items, i take rest because i haven’t sleep last night.

current room state just after moving-in

Next day i go to イケア(thank to DannyChoo for introducing IKEA-Japan) to buy 家具（furniture）i need, the primary stuff is a desk, bed+frame, work-chair.

First time i go to self-service store and dunno the system, its really tiring!

The step is like this :
>/① we looking for the item we want on showroom floor (2nd floor)
>/② make note for item you want to buy, you note the name, including stock location
>/③ go to stock floor (first time i step to that place i got amazed how big that place is!) go to location stock move the item you want to buy from the rack to shopping cart
*for woman that planning buy some furniture (large stuff) ask your boyfriends to help you otherwise you will got trouble moving those large stuff.
>/④ After you paid for the items you buy, you move all your items to delivery counter
*so if you have car that can take out those items it will save you since shipping cost not cheap, its 5900円 for first 3points, 3points in here means 3set if set-able or parts have similar shape, after that you have to pay 1000円/items

IKEA indeed have cheap price, but if counting the shipping cost (there will be a part you need the shipping service since no way you can take home your own even you have car) plus if you want to go easy with assembly service, it wont cheap anymore, it just same like normal furniture store but indeed you got good design of your choose, for that point i guess worthed to buy from イケア

So i am done with イケア shipping service, it said that my items will be send next 5 days, what 5days! well 5days is still short i bet, it seems the shipping schedule always fully booked everyday, since the normal shipping is from 9am to 5pm, they do have evening delivery service but you need to pay extra 3200円 orz

That week really tiring and confusing, since i have to go to City Office . Bank . Post Office . etc. to inform them about my movement! and what make it worst is there are school events that week (guidance . orientation . 入学式 〔school entrance ceremony〕 plus i have to maintain my schedule to fit with ホームライン assembly service + NTT internet installation, what make me more frustated was the route to go to stations, since its not walking straight in big road, so i kinda having difficulty in remembering the route, glad the mobile currently i use have GPS-System that really helping me when back then, also helping me finding the location of places that i never been go to.

Its been really busy weeks but somehow its kinda exciting, to go through all those stuff that i never been done before. And about the place, after few days i stay in here, somehow i turn to like it in anyway… about 200m from this place have a groceries stores called HANAMASA which is good since i grab some chicken/beef/pig meat in bargain price, walk about 500m to go to center 浅草(asakusa) to check out the shrine or japanese souvenir, walk about 600m to 入谷駅(iriya station) and pay 160円 for the ticket to 秋葉原(akihabara). Ok this entry end here, next entry will about setting up my chamber (room/work-space)　ﾉﾂ

*everything going like i predict, its been about 3 weeks since i start this blog, full schedule everyday, even on saturday and sunday… as the result i dun have time editing this blog, currently i am doing fast edit, since i got limited time so i just install severals extensions and picked a theme…
while i will keep updating this blog, but for a time being i will prioritizes in blog entries more

Second entry…
now i want to write what happen before i move out to current place…
back then i have 3 weeks before i have to move from school dormitory that i stayed for 2 years long, about dormitory, indeed thats old dormitory, there cocroach everywhere, the toilet and kitchen often not clean enuf imo… but in other side, the dormitory place is really neat, its near 山の手線 about 10minutes walk to the station[山の手線・yamanote sen:its the most used train line in tokyo, it going round in infamous places like ikebukuro,shinjuku,shibuya,harajuku,akihabara] but i already decide to move after i finish studying in ABK, well i should go directly to 不動産, but back then i think that レオパレス２１ is nice enuf and they accept foreigners for sure, thats why i think i better just go to them and find place to stay instead going to 不動産 and go for many troubles, beside レオパレス２１ places already include with furniture and they monthly payment already include gas,electric and water bill… so thats more convinients right, but there is trouble, back then i am renewing visa, which from what i heard foreigners that applying visa this year doubled since last years and that cause my visa renewal going be late (by the time i write this entry, i still havent receive my visa and i already apply it since mid-feb) so want or not i have to give up with レオパレス２１ and find other place, then i got recommendation from school, its kinda school dormitory, there only 2 option, one its kinda near school (only took around 7mins to go to school) and other one is kinda far (it takes around 1 hours for godsake) … those places of course not statifying, the close one is good but somehow the room is so small and its kinda dark (you guys that ever visit tokyo should can imagine room-rent in shinjuku)

Then i decide to go to 不動産(property/estate agent), first one i go to 不動産 in 池袋 and BIG NG for foreigner start from i enter the office, then i tried again with the one near my dorm, this time foreigner ok, his service is good but for some reason i dunno whether he is nice agent or not, but i believe my instinct that he is not really good agent, what i mean not really good agent is he is kinda persuade his costumer to get deal with the place he recommend rather the one i choose, well as an property agent that is not wrong for recommending costumer with better place, since as property agent he should have more knowledge about nice place, but for some reason i expecting that he can help me more in the place i want to stay.

Before i continue my story, i want to tell u, what DannyChoo tell about japan property is damn right! you can read it here.
And for my experience, when i came to the agent and telling what kind of place i want to stay, i only get 3 or 4 places to choose of, well that time i came late (around 19:00pm), so i thought i can get more option on next day, but on the next day the situations almost same, places that say ‘OK’ for foreigner is really few and not only that, even a place that writen Foreigner OK also got refused! there is an OLD place (builded on 1971) in 池袋 which really close to SunshineCity that said Foreigner accepted, from the start i dun want to stay such old place, well the location make me think twice though (i love 池袋～）, just for testing, i asking to whether i can check out the place or not, then the agent call the owner and discussing, at the end the owner refused LOLz!!! What the… if u dun want foreigner stay in your place dun write damn foreigner OK in your advertisement dammit! if you thinking that rich foreigner want to stay in your place just go to hell, since no rich man willing to stay in such old place!
The first place i interested is ガラ・ステージ the place is really near my dorm plus the range to station (巣鴨駅） is really short! But that place is no good either since i need 保証人（guarantor）to stay in that place, well if i tried hard i can get it but its too difficult plus the time i have is only about a week, then second place goes to ノバ浅草 (builded in 1991) the agent seems have good relationship with this place owner and everything get OK in no time, even the owner call me as soon as i tell the agent that i might interest in the place, then the next day i go to see the place, well not bad, the room is nice enough and the space is ok too, but there is things that i dun like, it kinda far to the station, the nearest station is 入谷駅 (10mins walk) which is underground train or plus 5mins walk to 鶯谷駅 (total around 15mins), second i dun really like east side on 東京, like DannyChoo said in his japanese property page, east side of 東京 sometimes more like slums side, plus it make me hard to go to favorite place (池袋）.

Because of that i asking the agent to find another place, well i know he didn’t search hard other place since he want me to go with the 浅草 one (i bet he get extra cash when i make contract in that place), but somehow i find another place, A Brand New place! its really brand new, so if i stay in that place i will be the first person that used the room, isnt that cool! The place is on 板橋本町（itabashihoncyo) Park Cube not only brand new but its 1mins walk to the station! even the agent said that Mita Line always crowded every morning with salaryman, but no big deal 1mins walk to station, if i wake early the it should solve the problem, awww i really want to stay in that place!
Then i decide to check out the place right away, well the space not really big, but thats ok, the toilet and kitchen system is really awesome! so i decide to stay in that place right away and the agent somehow kinda dun agree with my choose, but since i asking it, he sending the registration form for approval, waiting about 3days in sleepless nights hoping that can stay in that place, but at the end NG!
arghhh i feel want to cry… dammit!

Since i dun have any option then want or not, i move to the place in 浅草（asakusa)
that end of 2nd entry…

3rd entry still about my moving

First entry here…
about this ブログ seems for a while will be in english [英語]
not because i am lazy writing in 日本語 but i will complete this 英語ページ first before i expand to 日本語ページ, as you guys can see, its so plain wordpress installed page　ブログ and thats not me to go with default set

i am planning to costumize it within next few days, adding few pluggins, widgets, including ori-graphics instruments… well lets see whether i can complete it within this week or not since by 10th my room will 80% complete (since the furniture i bought from IKEA should be assemblied by assembly service) and i might back playing FEZ and running out time to taking care this ブログ

Anyway this conclude this entry
