Blog Entry by Samantha - Tokyo

After flying from Australia to Japan, we rented an apartment in Tokyo. I am going to describe what the apartment looked like. The bathroom, well the toilet area, because the toilet area and washing areas were separate, had an electronic toilet that massaged and cleaned your bum. It also dried your bum with hot air too! It was a really clean toilet area, so that was nice. I spent most of my time on the toilet! The other half of the washroom had a Japanese style bath and shower. The washing area was divided into two areas. One had the washing machine and a sink for general use. The other had a Japanese style shower with a soaking tub. First you have a shower in one area and then you soak in a really deep tub. Our whole family loved the Japanese tub. It even had a heater to keep the water hot!

The bed in our bedroom was on the floor instead of carpet or tile, there was tatami mat. A tatami mat is about 1m x 3 m and made out of Styrofoam with a grass covering. In our living room we had a plasma screen TV that actually had English channels. We also had high speed internet access in our apartment, which was really useful. We had a really cool kitchen with all the supplies that we needed, so we usually ate at least two meals in every day. Also there was a nice balcony that we could see parts of Tokyo from. I loved everything in the apartment. I really liked the couch because it was a pull out bed and we made a fort with it, however, my parents would always tear it down. I would colour, read and have fun in my fort. I had a wonderful time staying in our two bedroom apartment in Tokyo!
