Progress!

We have progress!
Three more boxes packed. 50 million more to go!
B is being very helpful with it all. He helps me pack and just as quick as he does A pulls everything back out again. So 3 boxes is definitely progress.

We will be moving into the new apartment in 3 and a half weeks so plenty of time to worry about packing later. When I say new I actually mean old but neither S or I are particularly fussy so we are more than happy with the move. It helps when the new landlord is also the equivalent of your long lost mother. Which both her, her daughters, son and my mother agree on. Let's call her N.

N is not only my long time English student and the mother of one of my closest friends Y, she is much much more. She's what I want to be like when I get old. Young at heart. And extremely generous. To everyone.

Over the years I have become English and swimming teacher to her grandkids/ her computer teacher/ in charge of her New Years cards/ keitai mail instructor/ tour guide and interpreter (to Switzerland no less!!)/removalist and unpacker/ fireworks buddy among other things.

So anyway we got a 'secret family' discount on the rent which makes it cheaper than what we pay now even with an extra room. And we can pay back the key money in English lessons. So a pretty good deal all around. Thank you N!!! The place is newer than the 2DK we're in now and a whole lot bigger! Space!! Room for more kids! Yay!
