2005.11.27 - 13:11The man i was happiest to see. He was really really polite, or, trying to be as unnoticeable as possible. After opening up the gas supply, he had to check all the equipments using the gas whether they were functioning.
The cost of living with risks of the earthquake is quite expensive for japanese people. There’s a reset button for the gas which checks all the parts in the house for the potential gas leak. Of course, he too left me with a pile of paper and instruction manuals.
fridge delivery
2005.11.27 - 13:11These ‘white’ goods are not by default installed in the rental apartment in japan. Two guys came to deliver. First guy was all embarrassed that i was a foreigner, so he turned to the second guy who then asked me: ‘fridge positiong?’ the first guy is all very impressed.
These guys were very efficient and self-sufficient: they made a door-stopper w the card board, unwrapped the product in the corriddor, brought the thing in, removed all the stickers and stuff and left with all the trash. The attention to details is quite amazing for those who work in specialized areas.
