I was looking for a shared house as my homestay stay was about to expire.

In the “Nichigo Press” of course! LOL!

It’s that website that every Japanese living in Australia knows!

I was still having trouble with my English, so I used a dictionary and Google Translate to inquire about articles posted in English.

Then one day, the phone rang just as I sent an email inquiry.

I still vividly remember that moment when the phone rang.

I really didn’t like it. LOL!

I couldn’t speak English, so I took the time to send an email,

but I didn’t expect the phone to ring.

Of course, my prediction was correct.

It was a call from the contact person.

I don’t know how long we talked… 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes?

I couldn’t remember.

You can come to the viewing today!

Come at 00:00!

I think he was saying something like that. LOL.

Before I knew it, I was supposed to go to the viewing that night. LOL!

I had originally booked another viewing for after noon,

so I was glad that our times didn’t overlap.

【First viewing】

When I went to the meeting place…

I was surprised to find out that there were several people there at the same time.

Thank you very much. lol

There were about 5 visitors for every 1 applicant.

It felt like the first one to move in was the winner.

When we were shown around,

there were single bed and bunk bed crammed into a single room.

My impression was that the room was very small. LOL!

But it wasn’t dirty.

I was thinking that choose here and if it’s not good, I’ll find another one.

After the viewing…

I didn’t expect to see a rock-paper-scissors game between prospective tenants! LOL!

Rock, paper, scissors… lol

For better or worse, I felt like I was abroad.

I lost the rock-paper-scissors game.

The loser went home immediately. LOL!

I’m really weak at this games. LOL!
