Psssssst...wanna look at rentals with me?

So I know in the last post I stated that I wouldn't start looking at rentals properties until we got to Yokosuka, which is true (as we are required to attend a course on how to rent in Japan before we are allowed to rent). However, it dosen't stop me from checking out websites that have samples of rental properties.



To me, the funnest part of moving is looking at places to live. In San Diego we wanted to get out of our expensive hotel fast, so we snatched up the first decent place we found close to John's work. Turns out, it's been a fabulous place. We have 950 sqft, 2 bedrooms, split level apartment (which means the bedrooms are out of the way completely of the living room and kitchen) all in our price range and 10 minutes from John's work and right next to the beach and city. Really great. I hope for the same in Yokosuka.



So, here are some websites with some sample rental properties. Check them out with me and see how much fun it is to click through pictures of empty houses. PS - One of the houses looks like the house in the horror film "The Grudge".....Japanese are very superstitious people. So if I even get the hint that my house is inhabited by Japanese spirit....well, I guess that's reason enough for me to start learning Japanese :)
