Photo time! I-house1 + 306 ~ my room (before and after shots)

I initially applied for I-house1 and luckily, I got accepted! The only concern I had regarding I-house1 (before coming to Japan) was the communal bathroom. But I still placed it as my 1st choice because it had the cheapest rent out of all the options.

It was quite awkward at first, but I eventually got used to it. We even have actual conversations in the shower hihi. And I had Cantonese & Filipino lessons with Elsauce. HAHAHA.

Okay, wait. I just realized that I don't have much pictures of I-house HAHAHAHA. I shall go back to this entry next time. I'll take more pictures.


But for now, here are a few photos:


Kitchen:
(3rd floor)

White board in the lobby (too see who's in and out)

This whiteboard is now very empty. Very empty. (as of August) I'll post a picture next time.

My mailbox : ) I always get excited when I see something in there
except if it's just bills. -_- which is the usual case.

my shoe box

lobby : )
tadaima-okaeri moments are the best!
but this place has sad memories too

our dearest vending machine hihi

Here are some pictures of 306, my room:
