Our condo

Just after we(my hubby and I) came back to Japan, we bought a condo.
People say, oh no, "I" think, "buying a house or condo" is similar to "getting married."

When people get married, they need three important things. Timing, happening, and feeling.

When we were in the States, we sometimes talked, "Maybe we have to buy our place after we go back to Japan. We can't live in our company's apartment forever."
Let's say, it was "timing."

After we came back to Japan, the company's apartment we were assigned was very small &...noisy. The downstair room was a supermarket. We suffered for its noisy air conditioner sound all the time. Let's say, it was..."happening."

We went to open houses. We looked five condos, and...there was one new condo we fell in love. Yes, we had a FEELING!!!

Like ordinary marriage, you can't buy a "PERFECT" house (condo) unless you are perfect. In this care, if we are billionaires, we could buy any "mansion." But we are not. However, we found our suitable one!

Let me call it(our condo) Jane.
Jane, I know you are not perfect. We have to take time to get to the nearest station from you. When it is raining, it would be hard to ride a bicycle on a steep slope.
Jane, you are so big that it is far away from our room to our parking area.
However...
We love your greens. Your nickname is "green hill." You puts on make-up with lots of trees and flowers. We love taking a deep breath with you.
Also, we love your scenery. We hadn't lived in over second floor. Now we are in a higher place in you... so, we can enjoy your beautiful night view everyday!!
Jane, sometimes people get divorce, unfortunately. But I know we don't want to.

Hey, remember! When we get married, we shouldn't forget about people who supported us. Four of our parents supported us very much when we got married to Jane! But we have messed around recently, so we haven't introduced her to them yet!
WE SHOULD INVITE OUR PARENTS TO OUR PLACE, soon!!!

Well, you really have a cute way to describe your decision, Keiko. After Axel bought the house, we learned a lot as a homeowner. I believe you will have a lot fun with your house as well.

Chiung-Ya,

Thanks! Wow, Alex bought a house in Florida!?? Congratulations!!
Even we bought a condo, we haven't learned much yet;)
One of the reasons we chose a "condo" is we are lazy enough not to take care of a house... I think our decision is right;)
Living in a convenient condo suits a busy city life. At least for us!!
