House hunting II

Have found a flat in Shinjuku (新宿)! Was indeed easier and much faster than I thought. But then, I can only move in November 1st. So, another few weeks in the hotel in Yotsuya (四谷).

Given the regular space/price ratio here it's actually quite big with 45.59m2 (just realised I'm not clear if that is including the balcony or not...hm probably is).

It's also nicely located, as Shinjuku is one of the hot spots in town and respectively well connected to the rest of this Japanese metropolis. My school is only about five stops away, which should therefore take me about 20mins door-to-door.

The place is fully furnished and they provide all necessary electronic equipment (incl. washing machine - hear that Switzerland?! :-), free Internet etc. With a 'combini' (see earlier blog entry) around the corner life should be relatively - well - 'combini' :-)

For those who know Tokyo a bit here's a map. I checked the neighbourhood both on Google earth (thank you guys for doing this job) and in person. Seems to be a nice urban neighbourhood, but still not too busy at night.

I guess I'll get a bike to explore Tokyo a little more. It's supposed to be one of the best, fastest and most...ok, again...'combini' ways of getting to know the city - provided of course it doesn't rain or it's not 35degrees with 105% humidity. Hm, ok, thinking about it, that limits the use of a bike quite significantly over the year. Maybe I won't buy a bike after all :-).

I'll add some pics once I moved in...
