Our new apartment

It's been three weeks since we moved into our new apartment in Akasaka, Tokyo. Where our apartment is located is supposed to be one of the most desirable places to live in Tokyo as everyone tells us, and homes there are priced a few million $s. If we weren't renting, we could have never lived here. We love this area. It is a few munites walk to three subway stations, has a rose garden, parks, restaurants and shops gallore within a few minutes walk. And of course, it is only 10 minutes walk to my office which I love!

Shawn built all the furniture we ordered from Ikea and is doing a great job putting together our place. We are still waiting for the large shipment from Hawaii including my beloved couch and Shawn's music computer. Shawn has been great for cooking dinner almost every night, cleaning the house and taking care of things while I work. Of course, we have been slowly but surely exploring our neighborhood cafes, restaurants and bars and other areas of Tokyo. Tokyo has so much to offer-we love it!
