Harbor View Mansion



My room at the Harbor View (Weekly) Mansion is better than expected. In fact, it's great. I clearly got the Gaijin Suite. It's on the 6th floor on a side without immediate neighbors. My balcony is private too. I paid for a single but got what looks like a double--two separate rooms with two beds, a desk, TV (but no cable, so the programs are limited), video, and a kitchen that's set up with a frig, microwave, toaster, gas stove, coffee maker, rice cooker, pots, pans, plates, cups, bowls, etc. I even have a washing machine on the balcony, which means I save on coin laundry costs. The location is very convenient too--a few minutes walk to the 24 hour booze-selling supermarket, about 10 minutes to Kokusai dôri and the prefectural offices. And I'm just across the way from the Naha Baptist Church (above), which makes me feel right at home in Nashville. If I had broadband internet my place would be perfect. I actually miss news of the Cubs, who are in the midst of a series with the Cardinals. The local papers only carry news of the MLB teams that Japanese are on. So, there was a brief piece on the sports news just now about a timely hit that Taguchi got against the Cubs (who seem to have lost 10-9).
