I moved on Saturday. The Boyntons and the Bishop helped me tote the fridge from the Reids' to my new place, plus we went and got my bags from the temporary apartment. They were so awesome help me! Soon after they dropped everything off the doorbell range and the movers brought in my shipment from the U.S... stuff like clothes, computers, electronics, etc. About two hours later the IKEA delivery showed up. I spent four hours putting together the bed, then decided to go to the movies on Saturday night to see Star Trek. On arrival, though, I learned that the latest show at the Shibuya Toei theater is at 6:45 PM. The latest show... at 6:45 PM. CRAZAZAZY! So I walked home, hooked up my TV and the DVD player I bought from the Reids (a multi-format player that can play U.S.- and Japan-region DVDs) and watched a movie.
Yesterday I went to church (my new apartment is literally 200m from the church. HOOAH!), then went to the Harris' for lunch. Great people and a great meal. Then I went home and set up the couch and relaxed for a while, then went to the Siebachs' for a Sayonara party -- there are four families moving out of the ward soon and not coming back in the summer. I had a great time sitting around and chatting with ward members. [Side note: I really love my ward. I feel like I made a great choice. Just perfect.] One guy showed a bunch of us an amazing video that I'm sure you've seen by now, but it's still awesome and deserves to be shown:
I love my new apartment. The location is perfect. Really close to church and work, plus all of the shops and restaurants in Shibuya. It's pretty much ideal. My back and legs hurt from putting together furniture this weekend, but it'll get better. Tonight the Bishop is coming over to help me put together the dining room table and chairs. His wife and family left for the U.S. today so we're going to order pizza and put together some furniture.
This morning I walked to the office. It took 20 minutes flat. Very nice. I still want to get a bike or a scooter, or maybe both, but I'm waiting to find out how much the bike/scooter parking costs at my new apartment. I think the bike parking is free. Tomorrow I'm going to go check out a bike shop that I saw last week. I want a nice "mamachari," which generally looks like this:

As in Dr. Siebach that taught Philosophy for BYU? Wow, Tim, sounds like things are going really well. Good for you! I'm so impressed that you're enjoying living in a new country.
