LUXURY MANSION



Here in Tokyo, a “Luxury Mansion” is what they call a 64 square meter apartment. During our apartment hunt, most of the “Luxury Mansions” I saw did not include a bedroom, functional bathroom, balcony, or even a refrigerator. But after a couple weeks of grueling apartment searching, we have finally found our own “Luxury Mansion,” our home for the next 2 years. The brand-spanking-new loft is centrally located right near Roppongi Hills. It’s a 2-stop train ride to our favorite neighborhood, Daikanyama, and a 15-minute walk to Driscoll’s office. There are great restaurants, cafes, shops, and a killer bookstore just 5 minutes from our front door. And as Driscoll would say, we could spit and hit the Grand Hyatt. We’re happy.

When do you get to move in? Is there a place to set up a portable crib when we come to visit in 2008?

Hey there buddy. Glad to see you found a place so soon. And I'm sure it's earth quake friendly, right.

We'll be moving in about 10-14 days. Of course we can make room for mini Harris.

Hooray, looks like a superluxury mansion. I like the optimistic nature of Japanese language. The knowledge that you live in a luxury mansion may make a person feel better about non functioning bathroom
