So I've finally arrived in Higashi Hiroshima last week. I'm currently staying in the university dormitory and it's
really inconvenient. There's practically nothing around my place!!! The nearest building next to my place is the school
and it takes me around half-an-hour to get to my classroom. Next, the nearest convenience store(Lawsons) is actually IN
school near my classroom so it takes me yup, 30mins to walk there. Now, I dont really mind the 30mins walk to get food
(I do actually, wtf), but since Lawsons' in school, it means that it's not open 24/7 but only during school hours. So,
if I really need food on days that school's not open, I have to walk like 35minutes to the next nearest convenience
store, 7-11. There's Family Mart too but that's even further...wtf.
However, since I can only get processed food at convenience stores, I have to go to this supermarket called Youme Town when I need groceries and that's 40mins away. Walking there isnt much of a problem for me but walking back is since I need to lug bags of stuff with me. I could always buy a bicycle but I cant really ride one, especially downhill...I hate myself. One good thing about this supermarket is that it has everything in it, well almost, and next to it is an electronics store.
My room is a pretty small one but it has quite alot of stuff in it. This is the entrance to my room where a little shoe rack is provided and above it is a telephone that can only be used to call the office or something. Picked it up once and it started dialing automatically and I frantically slammed down the phone. Opposite the shoe rack is a piece of furniture unknown to me and I've yet to open it up. I just use it as a little storage place for toilet paper and stuff like that.
Next to the shoe rack is the bathroom. I love my pink foot mat~whee~
My bathroom. Pretty small and I cant even walk around when I shower...not that I walk around when I shower though...wtf. One thing I dislike about the bathroom is the shallow sink. The bathroom floor always gets wet after I'm done with washing my face at the sink.
The 100-yen Stitch washcloth that I bought. It sucks so bad because it cant produce foam at all!!! Also, I swear that it eats up soap because no matter how many pumps of soap I put onto it, it just wont become soapy! It pretty much just shrinks into a little ball and that's it. So now, I just use it as a decoration for my bathroom. =D
My little kitchen. I've only used the gas stove once since I've came here because I'm just too lazy to cook and wash the dishes. Usually I just make cup noodles or buy some rice balls on my way home from school. The only utensils I currently have are a pan, a plate, chopsticks, knife, chopping board and a plastic spoon that I got for free when I bought ice-cream. I really need a cup to drink water but I'm just too cheapo to buy one and have been using my tumbler as a replacement for it.
My study table...that I've yet to use for doing homework. It's not so tidy usually and is always filled with tons of stuff but I cleared it for photographic purposes. =D
View of my room, balcony, chair and kitchen. The balcony's quite cool but I can basically climb over to my neighbour's via it so it's not exactly safe. Not that I dont trust my neighbours but I dont even know them to build trust.
The little shelf on my bed. This is seriously my favourite part of my room because I can put everything I frequently use here and hence, do not have to walk about to get stuff. I have my hair dryer, hair products, medicated oil, lotion, book, blah blah blah here. Damn convenient.
The cupboard at the foot of my bed and the little chair in front of it that I use to put my bags, in this photo. I usually chuck my bags on my study table and put clothes that I've worn onto this chair but like I said earlier on, everything in the photos are placed where they are for photographic purposes.
My Stitch balcony slippers which I also wear when I go down to the common room to use the internet. Yes, I DO NOT have internet in my room...yet. They are actually a little too small for me but I bought it anyway since it's Stitch~
The little chick hanging off the rope-switch of my light. The previous tenant must have had left it here but since it's cute, I'm not going to remove it. I had difficulties finding the switch for the light because it never occurred to me that the rope was the switch...wtf. I only realised it when my supervisor told me that. Yay, I'm so clever~~
Yup, end of room tour~

i laughed at
"Not that I dont trust my neighbours but I dont even know them to build trust."
your room looks cosy and bright! the furniture all looks so tiny for some reason... but can't imagine having the kitchenette near the bed though. must stink... = X
haha, it's cosy and bright because the sun was so strong that day...luckily i didnt have to go out!
the furniture's definitely smaller than what im used to...but it's not so bad...
haha...it doesnt really stink because i only cook instant noodles! how stinky can it get?! lol
