In a most efficient series of events we are in even managing to move our stupid number of suitcases across Yokohama without drama.
The excruciatingly extensive property inspection is complete. The temporary lease furniture delivered, beds made and
THE INTERNET IS CONNECTED.
Also, we are official, card carrying aliens.
On the down side, assembling a simple collection of necessary groceries - only sufficient to create one complete meal and a modest breakfast - proved troublingly expensive. I truly hope that we accidentally stumbled upon Yokohama's most expensive supermarket because otherwise ... well, otherwise I won't need to run to burn off calories :)
Perhaps it's so expensive because of the astoundingly fast packing they did for us (two people to a till), or because of the astoundingly intricate, but wasteful, packaging the products seem to come in.
Tomorrow? To the bank, to take account of things ...
Maybe a sneaky trip to Yodobashi ... maybe ... for essential supplies like power strips you see ...
The only thing I think we should also mention about today is that nodding and smiling does NOT work when a very helpful Japanese man is trying to give directions and instructions about how to use the lift in Japanese... the 'conversation' went on for quite some while until the down button was finally pressed and we made our escape... time to learn the language I think.
