午後一時から昨日アポを取った不動産仲介業者と会い、部屋を色々と下見させてもらった。
教会がある荻窪が理想ではあったが、10月末から会社のオフィスが移転するということもあり、
それを念頭に置き、丸の内線と浅草線が両方通っている、中野坂上付近の物件を中心に見た。
4件見まわり、一つ直感的にとても気に入った部屋が見つかった。
少し値が張るが、部屋は日頃からのインスピレーションを湧かす大事な空間であると思うので、早速申し込みをした。
まだ、確実には決まっていないが、ここに住めたらいいなと思う。
From 1pm, I visited an estate agency in Ogikubo to look for a room.
Ideally, I wanted to live in Ogikubo, where my church is located, but since my company is moving its office at the end of October,
I decided to look around near Nakano Sakaue station, where both the Marunouchi and Asakusa-line trains stop.
A guy at the agency took me on his car and I visited four flats in total.
Most of them were rather gloomy (meaning either very small or very narrow),
but there was one that I intuitively liked and have applied for it today.
It's a bit expensive but I regard my own room as an important place to get inspirations for many things, so I think it's worth it.
I haven't finalised my contract, but I hope I can live in this room.
夜、荻窪の街をぶらついた。
東京は物で溢れている。
コンビニに入れば、幾種ものおにぎり、弁当、100種類以上の飲み物、おやつ、
ドラッグ・ストアに入ればポップ広告の嵐だ。
ずっと歩いていたら、息苦しくなってきた。
カルチャー・ショックになるのは嫌なので、
今はあまりキョロキョロとせずに、少しづつこのクレイジーな街に慣れていくしかない。
In the evening, I walked around Ogikubo.
Tokyo is just so overwhelming....
There are just so many things.
When you go into a convenient store, you can choose from hundreds of drinks, bentous (packed lunch), onigiris (rice balls),
and when you go into a drug store, you're inundated with POP advertisements.
Walking around the city, I gradually started to feel ill.
I don't want to suffer from culture shock, so I told myself not to look around too much and try to get used to this crazy city little by little.
