What do I do with my trash????

You don't even understand my extreme issues with the trash system. As you know, they do not believe in trash cans and you are expected to take your trash home with then throw it away. My question to the Japanese is what if you don't understand how to throw it away. In Japan, there are different days when you are allowed to throw things away, example on Tuesday you can throw away plastics. This has lead for me to fill my backup with trash and throw it away on base. In addition, I left a bag of trash by a car and ran away. I am sure they will know it was me seeing that I am the only American . Anyway, on Friday I had to leave work and run back to the apt because of the furniture. After almost five weeks, I decided to unpack although I did case the joint to see how fast I could pack up and what I could leave should I jump back on a plane and come home. The gas man came over and explained to me by acting out how to use my shower. Then the realtor came over and drew me pictures in Engish how to use my air conditioner and my fancy toliet. It was all very exhausting espically doing it by myself. I had to go have some drinks with coworkers. However, I am going to get my first on base peidcure so I will write more if I can figure out how to use the internet when I get to the apt.

Left your trash by some car and ran...I love it. If you were back in NOLA, you could just dump it in your backyard, like my neighbor did with his broken toilet and other assorted junk.

Post pics of your new apt!
