Yet another filler blog. I had my first trial run with the coin laundry that I decided to use instead of buying my own washing machines. The washer was pretty great but an hour after running the dryer I still had cold and wet clothes. Sad thing is that I can't know if it's broken or just a typical Japanese dryer. That's one thing that really boggles my mind. How is it that one of the most advanced countries in the world developed a trend for drying clothes in the sun like fire was the last great invention. Maybe they're super energy efficient and eco-friendly, which would make a lot of sense when you think about how much energy it takes to cook clothes for an hour.
The internet guy came by to fix my router set up. It's strange, somehow my same service provider has different requirements in Osaka than they did in Yokosuka. Now I need there router in addition to their modem. Adding the Fletz router in the mix means that I had to configure my router as a bridge and change my security settings. It's not all bad though. The change allows auto-connection so I don't have to manually connect to the OCN dial up everytime I turn my PC on. It irked me watching the guy work though. Maybe it's just an IT thing, but I can't stand people who type a normal and some how decide that the enter key won't work if they don't perform some Shoalin death strike on it. I seriously thought he was going to put a whole threw my laptop and the desk.
With that obstacle over, I'm even closer to having a normal functional home. I've seen a few of the other tenants in and around the apartment but I haven't really greeted anyone. I'm not sure if I'm the unfriendly one or they are, but I guess it would be awkward either way until I start studying. Tomorrow is the enrollment ceremony and welcoming speeches at the Miyako hotel. I'm not entirely sure where that is, but I figure if I walk around it will turn up somewhere. Anyway, long days equal short posts so I'm going to wrap this up. I've got clothes to fold and things to do before turning in for the night.
