Simple Life

When I was browsing in an electronic appliances shop -- on the floor of 30 to 50 inch TV sets to be exact -- I somehow irresistibly felt that I needed a more simple life.

Over the weekend, I also looked around a few condominiums. But the more I did, the stronger I thought that I needed to study real estate. And to me, it seemed like a daunting task to find a nice condo that would not be damaged even when a big earthquake hit Tokyo. Plus, I learned that earthquake insurance covers only 10 million yen (about USD 83,000). So, what if a massive quake comes on the day I purchase a condo?

Well, I currently live in a small, but cozy, and best of all, safe apartment. Perhaps I should just read Sagan's novels here, and live in my fantasies.....
