Well, we're officially househunting

Well, we're officially househunting again.

The current house is just too big, too cold and most importantly, too expensive. The rent here is equal to about 7 months of mortgage payments on our house in Pittsburgh. In our Bunkyo neightborhood, one Pittsburgh mortgage payment rents a 9x12 foot room with a galley kitchen and a bathroom. We're looking for a place to live in the range of "4 months of mortgage payments."

We're racking up our 5th home in 4 years here in Japan. I hope that the new one is perfect and we stay there for a while! I think our realtor, Inoue-san, is going to become rich on our commissions.
