After a whirlwind two days in Tokyo, which I spent recovering from international travel, enjoying our luxury hotel and lamenting the distance to the Gundam and the complicated Tokyo subway, we finally arrived in Sapporo and were brought to our apartment- number 401 in building 2-15 on North 24 West 6 street. (now you know our street address- presents are welcome and expected; especially monetary donations and anything with chocolate and PB; also pizza)
We had our bags brought up to the apartment (yikes, I had a 50 pound box AND bag...), gas range and heater delivered, utilities turned on, and then our Japanese mother took us to the supermarket (aptly named SuperArcs) for rice, eggs, juice, tofu, miso soup base and nori. Then everyone left and we dragged our futon into a random room and passed out.
Now for some pictures:
Behold!
Our first breakfast in Sapporo
...eggs, oatmeal with cinnamon and honey and juice! Please note the mess.

Fast forward weeks later and here's our apartment:

Looking towards the kitchen:
That thing covered in plastic is our heater;which I hope by the time I get back is hooked up and ready to heat.
This is our spare room.
I am determined to turn it into a study/office.
You all only get to see a dark picture of it because it's actually where we throw all our crap.
It's probably the coldest room in the apartment so I don't think it'll house any guests.
Here's our plants that we inherited from Ryan's predecessor:
And that's it! More on the way soon...I am currently in NYC and it's almost 1AM. Oh no, I'm not jet-lagged. Heh.
