Space Heater, River, Car

 This is the space heater that my recruiter lent me. This has certainly been my lifeline, keeping my apartment above freezing temperatures.

 Here's a shot of the river just outside my apartment. I always manage to live near a river in Japan, probably because there are so many. It got a lot snowier in the days after this, but I figured this was a decent shot of the surroundings.









This is my beautiful car, parked at the laundromat. I have some shots of it full of snow on my other camera, but need to find the cable to connect it to my computer. It's a Daihatsu Mira, and a very basic version but equipped with tiny snow tires. Despite what this picture may show, this car is the easiest thing in the world to park. Also, this picture shows one of the rare occurrences where I park forward. It's a lot easier to park in reverse most places, but at this laundromat there's not as much of a choice since you're coming right off the street.
