No Job, No Apartment.
Day 2:

Got my last paycheck. I rather cleverly chose to take my contract completion bonus, which was a plane ticket home, in the form of cash. So now I have enough money to support myself for another month or so while I look for lodging.

Odds are I'll have to take a room in a gaijin-house. It's a largish sort of house or smallish apartment complex that rents out individual rooms, usually to foreign types like myself. It'll be too expensive for what I'll get, but still be a damn sight cheaper than anything else available in Toyko.

And here I thought I was finished with that whole roommates thing. Ah hell.

Uh, wait. I meant to say: "Ah well."

No... I was right the first time.
