Happy birthday to me!

Hello from Chiba-ken! I've moved into my apartment. It's in Makuhari-cho. We're east of Tokyo, closer to the coast. 2 other guys from the internship live next door and the next door over, so we're partying it up, AKA going to bed at 11 every night and being generally quiet.
Okay. Because I know you're all dying to see it, apartment pictures:
So this is the general layout. It's a crappy thing I put together in Paint, but you get the idea. It's pretty small, but I like it. Here some more actual pictures:
the building from the outside and the view from the front door



the kitchen is small and is basically in the hallway


the bed is on a loft, and the door on the wall beneath it leads to a sweet closet




Yeah. That's really all the exciting stuff. If there's anything else you want to see, comment with your special requests and I can post more pictures.

So today's my birthday and we're going to Tokyo to Ueno Park to celebrate. They have museums, a zoo, amusement rides, and street performers. Since it's Golden Week here, there will be lots of people there. It'll be exciting! I'll post pictures from it later, if I get any good ones. :)

    I heard the other day that oriental people
    are always serious because they can't see when they laugh
    We love you-just pretend you are sailing.
    Love- Mom and Van

  5. Happy Birthday, Sara! Glad you are having this opportunity in Japan. Keep enjoying it!

    Since noodles came from Asia originally, not Italy, I thought I'd bring up an odd thought. Your last name is not Penny-packer, i.e. one who carries or packs pennies. Your last name is Penne-packer. To me,penne is an Italian name for a straight, tubular pasta. But, as opposed to being Sara who-stuffs-tubular-pasta, I will call you Sara noodle-stuffer, or Sara who-stuffs-her-face-with-noodles-and-not-just-with-ramen.
