You finally made it to your new place, a least a little peace of mind can be experienced.
I'll never fully understand the cultures of the japanese but I indeed fancy the long noodles idea, would be a great way to connect with your neighbor.
In Tokyo if you knock on your neighbors door they will likely hide and pretend not to be home. People tend not to have guests over because the walls are often thin and most people separate their private (home) life, social life and work life entirely.
Wow, they're more and more things I can't understand, haha. Why do they hide?..is there something against relating with one another?..well I know most of this countries have strict laws so it's better to be careful.
Haaa, they'll surely want to sell off their alcohol and make cool money, I mostly see it happen in movies where they tend to drink alcohol with their food, now I know they do it real life.
Thank you for sharing more about your environment.
Hope you settle in well my friend ð
