My new hood.....

Realizing it has been a long time since I moved into my new "Japanese Mansion", I thought I might share the view. Voila! My new hood! These photos are of Oliver and I's room, our kitchen, backyard complete with glass shard safety fence(?) and my pretend kitty cat, probably a stray living under the house next door.
The other photos are of the house from the street, and a shopping area within walking distance called Shimokitazawa. Shimo has excellent grocery stores, cafes, clothing shops and pachinko parlours, a must at even the smallest of train stations!
