I have a place to live…
January 21st, 2009 at 22:18:10 by wah
…in Japan! A most delightful little email came in just a few hours ago, and in it lied the details of where I will be living between April and August of this year… IN JAPAN. It’s a chill little apartment house just north of Tokyo. The rooms are fully furnished and come with a bed, a desk, shelves, a mini-fridge, a TV and free internet access. I did rank a dorm highly in my housing choices, but in retrospect I’m a lot happier with this arrangement. Why? I get a TV! Now I can fulfill my dream of watching shitty Japanese variety shows, and I’ll be able to catch the premier of Hayate no Gotoku season 2 on Japanese TV, in Japan.
Man, it’s gonna get pretty Wapanese up in this blog in a few months, so watch out.

Wow are you really going? Don’t forget your english speaking fans when you leave!

That’s awesome. Congrats!

What city is it in? If you give us the address we can stalk you on google maps street view :)

anyway, welcome to Japan!

>>Prepare for big money spendage. :O
I wish. My savings are pretty shitty, especially considering I was unable to swing a job. So buy through my affiliates! Give me money!
>>What city is it in?
I’ll be in Warabi, which is north of Tokyo.
>>anyway, welcome to Japan!
Thanks :)

Looks like you don’t even have to change trains to get to Akihabara :)

Have a great time!

you have my congrats and my jealousy
January 22nd, 2009 at 17:52:29
Sweet, an hour train ride to Akiba doesn’t seem too bad at all.
January 22nd, 2009 at 20:31:31
Warabi! (strictly speaking, it’s Saitama prefecture. yes, the stage of Lucky Star)
It’s a great place for otaku life. Only 30 min from Akibahara.
I’m worry about your wallet. www
January 22nd, 2009 at 21:53:30
Man, I worry about my wallet too. I already have a shopping list! I gotta fill out by Chocotto Sister DVD collection, buy some figures and pick up some manga and doujinshi. That’s like… a billion dollars right there, especially with this crappy exchange rate!
January 22nd, 2009 at 23:30:58
Don’t you have to pay for most of the channels that anime airs on, since most of them are cable?
Then again, Hayate is a ‘kid’s show’, so maybe not.
January 23rd, 2009 at 00:57:43
Congrats on the exchange!
January 23rd, 2009 at 01:39:45
Hayate’s on TV Tokyo. Or at least series one was, I assume series two will be as well.
January 23rd, 2009 at 03:55:48
Start selling off stuff you don’t want? Doubt there is any though…
January 23rd, 2009 at 05:17:13
Yeah, it’s likely Hayate 2 will be in the same TV Tokyo spot as Hayate 1 and ZKC: 10am on Sunday (or 34:00 on Saturday, depending on your perspective). Congrats on the move! Indeed, Warabi is served by the Touhouku honsen, straight to Ueno, Tokyo *and* Akiba :-).

I’m happy for you and jealous at the same time.
January 27th, 2009 at 03:08:37
Lulztastic. You should submit your doujin for C76. If you hurry you will make the deadline. And lol Warabi…far town is far. Enjoy the monotony of the train rides. When I’m in town for the doujin buying runs, we oughta hang out and stuff.

I don’t own a car– I’m used to long, boring train rides. My commute to work this summer was 45 minutes both ways.
