A Nice Little House

To quote the great Steve Miller, time keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking, into the future. We have a lot of stuff to sort out in the next few weeks, and not much time to devote to anything except working. We are both a little nervous that we won't get everything sorted out sufficiently well before we need to leave. I've not been sleeping so well. It's pretty normal, considering that we're about to embark on a pretty big adventure.

However, we have had a lovely development regarding our housing arrangements.

Today, I got an email from our housing agent, offering us a lovely house in Osaka in a suburb called Tezukayama. It's in Sumiyoshi ward which is part of the southern part of Osaka. Look at how lovely and clean the apartment is:





It just looks so lovely, doesn't it? It is on the fourth floor of a four storey apartment block, so that also bodes well. I like being the stomper upstairs, not the stompee downstairs. Of course, it's Japanese sized, so I don't think we'll be swinging more than one cat at a time, but I've seen smaller, and the price was the same as the house we used to rent in Napoleon Street. Ridiculous, isn't it? That a house in Hobart now costs the same amount as a house in Japan.

Let's just hope that Godzilla doesn't visit Osaka and smash everything up before we get there.
