My house is a small townhouse, my room is even smaller. About 2.5 square meter. You’d think that I’d yearn for bigger house, bigger room. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m actually kinda scared of big open space, big house, big room. I prefer being in small space, I LIKE small space.

Japanese are genius when it comes to utilizing spaces and make the most of what little space they have. Necessity breeds creativity, I guess.

Triangle House. I have seen a photo of this type of building before, there’s even one like that in my town, but I never seen the inside. It’s really neat!

Tiny Tiny Italian Restaurant. (The owner is gaijin, but pretty sure he thinks like Japanese :D)
