QotD: I Get Around

September 10, 2006

How many places have you lived in your life?

In 1977 I was born in Kawasaki and have been there for 2 or 3 years, but I don’t remember the place at all, except some baby photos of mine. After that my family, literally my parents and I, moved to Yokohama where my parents still live. I lived there since elementary school till the university undergraduate.

Later I started working in a company in Shibuya area, and it’s still 1 hour train ride from my home. It’s been doable but the work style there was a typical startup’s one and occasionally I missed the last train and stayed in the office, which was not good. So I moved to the apartment in Shibuya area. It was okay and walkable from the office and I lived there for 2 years.

In 2004 they moved to Roppongi. Shibuya to Roppongi is still easy to commute using the bus, but I really like to commute by walking and moved to the current place Roppongi. I love the apartment but it’s still a quite expensive considering the amount of days I spend per year. I think I need to move somewhere else pretty soon. Recently I started looking for a place but couldn’t find any good stuff yet.
