Kyoo apaato ni shashin o shimashita
Not a whole lot of excitement the last couple days, except for proposals being due and preparing for the Science Working Group (SWG) meeting next week. I did manage to take some photos of my abode. I also realized I made a mistake in my email about my address, and my apartment should have a "C" before the number. The office will probably figure it out if they get mail for me, but I don't want to be disruptive. I'll email the correction, anyway.
Besides working, I plan to spend the weekend shopping for curtains and figuring out the trash regulations. I have to separate my trash into four different types (burnable, non-burnable, paper and cloth recyclable, and plastic bottles), and bag each separately in trash bags specifically provided by the city for that purpose. The bags are clear, so the trashmen can see if you've done it right and refuse to take them if you haven't. I got a detailed list from the city (in very good English, so you know they're serious) of what can and can't go in each bag, and I think I'm more confused now than when I started. All I can remember now is that paper milk cartons have to be washed, cut up, and dried, and you should only put out one or so per week. Oh, and disposable diapers need to be washed. Figure that one out.
God forbid you should have any large items you want to get rid of.
It turns out Monday is a national holiday (Sports and Activity Day or something), and they're taking the campus network down. Since I don't have internet access in my apartment yet, I'll be out of contact then, just so you know. I'll be sure to do something active, though.
