Blizzardboy | A Kiwi in Japan

Well the move is over and we are in the final stages of getting sorted in our new house. We are now living in the city of Tsuchiura in the province of Ibaraki about 60 kilometers north of Tokyo and 40 kilometers from Narita airport.

Got the internet connected yesterday, so still catching up with email. 2 weeks without the internet was a nice little break, quite rare in this day and age. One of my friends commented that he had a similar experience when he moved within Tokyo – it seems that despite being the second largest economy in the world Japanese businesses, NTT in this case are still safely floating somewhere around 1960. Switching on a phone line these days is all done via computer, so why it would need 2 weeks I have no idea. But it is done!

Now we are heading out to hunt down a wifi kit. Bang!
