留学生 Living~! Oh MY 人生～

Tenri University exchange students from CSULB live in an apartment complex close to the campus. It's about a 10-15 minute walk. Or 7 minutes on a bike. It's even closer to Tenri Train Station which is about a five minute walk. 
The apartment is a long narrow strip that is as follows: doorway, kitchen & bathroom on opposite sides, then through a door is the main room and balcony. The main room is where the bed, closet, and desk area is. 

There are many hooks throughout the room!

Stay organized & keep your life simple~!

The washer machine is ALL IN KANJI so 勉強頑張って下さい～

 

 >>> The way to work it is: 

Press 入/切
Choose the water amount (the equivalent to load size on an American machine)
Press start! 

{{You're w e l c o m e~!!!}}

Included in the room was a water heater, rice cooker, and an AMAZING microwave. It doubles as a toaster for toast and I even baked cake in it!!!  


The bathroom is a small room with the faucet for the sink and bathtub connected. The toilet has the option for a "big flush" & "small flush" according to... well, you know! Just pay attention to the kanji: 大 & 小!!! My toilet didn't have it but I figured out that turning the handle left is small and right is large.

The first time I EVER opened the door to my アパート~!

***留学生ノート: Every room has some lottery items left from previous student residents. My room had a fan, chopsticks, utensils, plates, bowls, knives, and kettle. There were other various things like a lamp on the desk and hangers. Every room has different things depending on the previous resident. Other rooms had a humidifier or small sofa but those items are rare/lucky.

おすすめ：Bring towels!  And photos of close friends & family~~
DON'T FORGET BUG SPRAY!!!
