It has been 9 days since Yoshi and I came back to Nagano.
( I am already missing Toronto!!!)
While we were in Osaka, where Yoshi's parents are, I called some real estate agencies to ask for information about apartments. They faxed plans of apartment units so we roughly picked some beforehand. This is where we first started to set up our lives.
We took tours two sundays ago. We took a look at 8 units. The end of the day, we narrowed down to two possible units that we might rent. Yoshi wanted it located in somewhere very quiet because he is very sensitive about noise. One of two units had a fantastic kitchen that I fell in love at first site. The problem was the railroads by the apartment... I had to give it up.. ho-hum. Yoshi, too, needed some time to decide which one is the best because he like the one better.
Well, the other unit is also nice. The kitchen is closed and small though, this unit is quite clean for ten-year old. On top of everything, this one will give Yoshi peaceful sleep. It is the most important, you know. So we got the latter apartment unit.
We had also looked for a nice car to buy. I gave mine to my dad two years ago. Yoshi gave his to a wife of his younger brother's. Owning a car is essential in Nagano because of poor public transportations.
Yoshi is very careful about choosing stuffs to buy. Especially when the stuff is very pricey. It took us for a week to get a car by taking a dealer-hopping. It was the day before yesterday we got the deal done.
So were the cellular phones. ... It is inconvenient not to have a cellphone.
So much so, we are moving out of my dad's place very soon. ( We have been staying there since we were back! ) I will upload the image of the apartment. Hopefully... heh, heh.
長野に帰ってきてから、１０日が経とうとしています。
早ッ。。
帰った次の日にアパートめぐりをして、その日のうちに決めましたょ。先週水曜に鍵を貰ったので、お父さんと妹のだんな（とちっちゃい甥っ子二人v）に手伝ってもらって、実家に残して来た家財を運び込みました。
んで、電化製品を選んだり車を選んだり。。私とよしは、２年前に入籍してすぐにカナダへ行ってしまったので、新婚生活に必要な家電などは持ってなかったのでね。（カナダのお家には、めちゃ素敵なキッチンに豪華な家電が備え付けてあったのです～！！それを思い出すに付け、ほんと帰りたくて仕方なかったり！）
良いもの選びに余念の無いYoshiさんは、一発で買うものを決めないです。
。。車も家電もケータイも、店々を渡り歩く日々。
私は衝動買いタイプ（買い物下手です。）なので、「。。はよ決めろや＃」（←大阪出身よしのしゃべりがうつっております。しかも男弁？）と何度キレたことか（笑
でも、めちゃ勉強になるなー。
いかにお得な買い物をするか。

なんだかばたばたして、連絡もままならず。。
ごめんなさいですx
以前コメントをもらったあとに
メールした気がするんだけど、
…書いてる途中とかで送り忘れたかなー？んー
元気かなーと気にしていました。
毎日暑くてなかなかネットもできないです。
お買い物は終わったのかな？
落ち着いたらメール下さいね。
てか梅雨で湿気が多くていや。。
トロントに帰りたいょう。
でも食べ物はやっぱり日本のがうまいっすね！
コンビニやたべものやさんの、質の洗練されたのにはもぅひたすら感動。
船便の引っ越し荷物がまだ届いてないのょ～。
なに？西海岸のトラックがストで？まだ船積みができていない？？らしいですょ。カナダをさえ出発していないんだょ。
とほほですょ。
Kitchen Aidも足止めょ
日本は暑いでしょう～
オンタリオも暑かったので、そんなに変わらんかね？？
（バンクーバーなんて、２０度ちょっと越すくらいよ）
それから、Kitchen Aidは無事届きましたかい？
夏ばてせんようにね～
