On Apr.9th, after I registered my change of address at the new city office, I walked to the condominium I'd move into soon.

Sorry for my absence. Now I write about the day that changed my life.
March 16th, 2021. That was a day which changed my life. Although I repeated trial and error talking about finding a new place. I could connect the dots looking backwards. However, every important thing happened quickly on the very day.
I happened to see a conscientious real estate agent through the open house advertisement. One night, I couldn't sleep because I continued to quest for the way to see a certain property privately. The building I'd love to live in didn't have an available room proper for me, but a more spacious room for sale. I couldn't bring myself to ask any real estate agents to show me the room I couldn't afford. I thought "open room" was a chance to see the room without annoying business persons. Even if it's not a room for me, I could know whether I like another affordable room from seeing the different room in the same building for real. I found one open house advertisement for the property. I took a day off from work nest day to go there.
I was excited! Today, I can see the room I've seen pictures of many times on the net! I reached the condominium. However, there was not a standing signboard that said "open room". I called the real estate agency, and the guy in charge told me that the open room was reservation-only. I explained him the reason I came here and said to him, "I don't intend to buy the present property for sale. Still, can I see the inside?"
He showed up in 30 minuets. A local-based agency is advantageous to both like this. When I saw him for the first time, I got a good impression. Finally, I saw the room privately. It was like a dream. In the room, I talked about the image of my desirable living place. Amazingly, he'd brought print outs of many properties he prepared from my explanation on the phone. I was trying to wait until the affordable room in the same building got vacant, however, I could give it up because I knew some parts of the ceiling was actually low and I can't eliminate a feeling of oppression. It doesn't feel real in the photo nor video.

Hi from Yurakucho area in central Tokyo
The restaurant is closed at 20:00, so after that, we chatted inside the station over drinks & snacks(nuts) which we bought at 7-eleven just nearby. Wearing coats protects us from the cold, no wind, well-ventilated in a large open place, feeling safe by a few security guards standing there. I liked seeing people enjoying their friendship like this. I thought it's one of the new normal we acquired naturally under corona regulation.
