Attached is a night photo of Tokyo Tower taken from our apartment balcony. It was a heavily cloudy night, thus the light reflection above the tower. The apartment we stay in has 3 bedroom, 1 bath plus a seperate toilet. Y29800 (US$3200)for 65sqm per month. XGG has lived in 4 apartments all near Tokyo Tower through the 9 years here. We have stayed in all 4. I cannot remember one that was uncleaned. Somehow the Japanese has made tidiness and cleanliness into an art. When in Tokyo, forget the 300-400sqm homes in melbourne, even our 144sqm apartment in Beijing feels luxurious space-wise.
The standard toilets here come with heated seat. There is a tap that flows into the water cistern automatically each time the toilet is flushed, meant for washing hand with the same clean water that goes into toilet cistern for flushing later. That is now Kimberley's favourite hand washing spot......
Within the building, lady 'neighbours' and youngsters will bow their heads to say hello each time we meet at the common lift. I always acknowledge with a smile in return, but I have never initiated a bow to a stranger, yet.
