Here are some warnings for anyone thinking about buying a place:
Do NOT bring anything with sharp corners into your new home. If you do, it will inevitably be knocked over and it will make a huge gouge in your wooden floor. Even something as small will make a sizable gouge.
Do not answer the door when NHK comes calling (and they will...at least once a day.)
If you happen to exchange "greeting" gifts with your next door neighbors, do NOT present them with the exact same thing that they just gave you.
Here are some warnings for anyone thinking about bringing a puppy into their new place:
Do not allow anything soft (rugs, floor chairs, clothing) to sit on the floor for anything length of time in the same vicinity as the animal. He will inevitably pee on it.
Do not take it personally when he chews at the corner of every wall within his reach.
Do not dwell on it when he tears the wallpaper off of part of a wall and exposes the cement and studs underneath.
Do not feel guilty when after weeks of constantly being peed on, the floor develops permanent staining.

Hi! Just finished watching American Idol and thought of you!
Snigger snigger snigger.
What?
Noted! It's good that you got your own place before I did...you're my reference point! :)
Thanks for your comment on my blog! Oh, yes, the NHK people...*shudder* I have tried many tactics to get rid of them without paying, and I finally found one that works! I tell them I don't own a TV! They tend to be surprised and will ask to make sure they heard right (and of course your TV can't be on when you say this), but it works. I normally don't advocate lying, but I refuse to pay those NHK fees!
