Since I will no longer be taking courses starting from September, in normal circumstances, I would not be allowed to stay at the Kaikan. I would have to find my own apartment or place to live. But for me, the Kaikan is VERY cheap and is a perfect place to live. It's close to the judo club, has many good features such as a good kitchen and Internet. Simply moving out for two to three months would be very unfortunate. But lucky for me, since I'm pursuing judo here, I asked Mrs. Mitsumoto (the judo club's secretary) if she could try contacting the school for me and ask if I'd be allowed to stay here. Apparently, that worked, 'cause I was told last week I needed to change rooms since someone else would be entering my old room with my roommate. I might get to spend the remainder of my time in my new room alone... !!!!

After one year in the same room (304), I am now staying in room 303. When my sister lived in the LKan (3 years ago), her room number was 303. Coincidence?
