I’ve moved into my new residence for about 2 weeks now and I have settled in comfortably. The place is called a “KOST” or a “Kosan”, which translates to “lodging house”, the house is pretty large and deceptively big from the exterior, the interior has over 40 rooms! It’s like a hostel or a hall residence and very comparable to the university halls back home.




But it’s available for public depending on room availability; there are no “rules” on who or how many can stay in your room unlike a hostel in a university .

So there are small families, couples, friends, power-couples, working-class professionals all staying in this cosy Kosan and of course, myself.


Large parking area


I get free laundry service collected every day, free internet, air-conditioning, personal toilet with hot water, LCD TV, a cupboard, a queen-sized bed, a dressing table, and utilities are free (no electric or water bills), just the base rent.
