I was picked up by supervisor #1, Dr DG, an american Infectious Disease specialist who splits his time between Japan and the States. He kindly gave me a tour of the city, took me to the local super for supplies (where I also met my first Kiwi of this trip.. ahh lilting kiwi accent, how i've missed thee) then dropped me off at my very own apartment. It took the combined intelligence of an Infectious Diseases Consultant and a 5th Year Survivor to open The Door. two locks plus a bolt was more alarming than reassuring but having toured the town and met the neighbours, ive also deemed it to be excessive.
My place is sweet. So sweet that I must post pictures! Observe apartment sweetness and commence envy:
my pretty white coat of power.. how long will it remain that white? watch this space [ --- ]
yes children, that is a HOT TUB in the bathroom that you can see. complete with smelling salts. 'nuff said.
God I feel grown up.
It'll pass.

dont the japanese have a particular way of bathing?
why yes ian, yes they do.. one must shower first before dipping in the bath. the water thus stays clean and they often leave the water in for days at a time.. the temperature is nicely regulated by a little talking thermostat on the wall which jets water at you should you so wish.
