Living in Japan info *apartment*

, ,

Here's a website which might be helpful for those who looking for apartment somewhere in Tokyo

http://www.kimiwillbe.com/aptrec.htm

The monthly rent is comparatively reasonable i think.
and
no key money & no deposit.

We have very weird old custom for rent a room in Japan.
it's 敷金 and 礼金(in English, it's translated as deposit and "key money")
Besides monthly rent, you have to pay those 2 extra money at the first month.

Deposit is no problem :cheers:
Basically you can ask to give the money back when you move out
this deposit is used for cleaning up the room when you move out
and also, used as a guarantee.
like, when you can't pay rent, house owner deduct the rent from this Deposit money.

on the other hand,
this "key money" is the weird one. :alien:
It can be translated for "a mandatory gift money" to the landlord.
(already sounds weird, isnt it :yuck: )
and, well. sorry but this money is non-refunable.
make things worse, it's usually 2months rent :chef:
( alright, it IS exactly WTF kind of thing in Japan :zip: )

i dont really wanna give you guys a bad image for Japan
but there's some stupid things like this keymoney..
:down: oh well..

新しい仕事探してます。
インターンとかワーホリもいいかなってチョット思ったりも。
何にせよ、英語か日本語でOKな所ならどこでもイイです。
とかいいつつ、
一応アメリカかイギリスかオーストラリアか、あるいはアイルランド?とか?
(どこでもイイといいつつ注文の多い客です Homer: Doh!

once i get married

, ,

of course no one likes to divorce,
no one get married to fight,
or to hate each other

they were in love,
decided to be together forever,
they thought she/he is the one,
imagined their happy marriage,
happy together..

so people get married
and
start life together

but something happen,
like,
little things,
like,
small fights,
busy at work,
no time to be together,
or maybe
found her/his annoying habit,
or small things but u can't take

when these things over your love,
they start thinking of divorce
sometimes remember how happy they were
but sometimes you can't remember the feeling "love"
and again start think of moving away
and start convince myself that's better to go different way
so,
people chose to divorce

but, can't you really accept her/his way a bit more?
is divorce the very best way?
dont you think you could get over the peoblem together?
did you really respect each other?
think of her/him before think of yourself?

i know the answer
Yes, you did.
that's why you chose the answer to divorce, or stay togehter

i used to think my mom and dad should divorce
because they are not matched couple at all.
but, gradually i recognize the reason why they didnt.
for them, dovorce was easy answer for their problem.
but they decided to understand each other more,
accept partner as she/he is
and live together

now i know,
there's so many things we can do before really get divorce
and, meanwhile we could learn how to live with the problem
and, learn to be happy with partner again
so im not gonna get divorce once i get married

* sorry, i had a very bad dream lastnight
when i woke up, i was thinking like this above.
so i thought i would put my thouhgt down here :smile:
