Moving In...

We arrived at our new apartment at Moto Azabu Place around 9:45 and by 10 there was so much activity I wasn't sure what to do... The kids ran through the place and quickly picked out their rooms - they were very excited and started to unpack their little suitcases...

There was someone there to do inspections, there were movers coming in with our rental furniture, and there were people there explain the security system to us - I'm serious - at one point there was no less that 12 people flitting about each doing their own part to set us up. And Chris and I just were there if they needed to tell us something - Everything was a process. I watched them put together the dining room table - They brought in a blanket, then set down the table top and leg pieces. Next the women from the furniture company put the legs on. Then the movers inspected their work, and finally they flipped the table over and removed the blanket...

Sydney is very excited that she has her own bunk bed now! It comes complete with a pink hand rail!

They literally had all of the furniture in, put together, and arranged within 2 1/2 hours... I get the whole idea of Japanese efficiency now!

We got several "welcoming" gifts - several rolls of toilet paper and garbage bags... but it did come in handy!
