The house I'm living in is affectionately known as The 'Guch because of its location in Moriguchi and because it's a funny name. It's legendary in that many ECC teachers have lived here at some point, or at least attended one of the many parties thrown here over the years.
It's actually two three-story houses connected, and is truly massive. It took me nearly a month to find the second kitchen as it's a bit of a maze, with doors that lead to nothing and staircases that lead to yet more staircases. I feel like I'm living in the Winchester House. There are nine bedrooms, but only five are occupied: me, Judy from Baltimore, Cat from England, Michael from New Zealand, and Masako and Tetsuru from Japan. We're all ECC teachers (except for Masako and Tetsuru) and get along quite well.
The house is not without its disadvantages, however. Japan has a cockroach problem but our house seems to be a resort for the loathsome things. No matter how clean we keep the place, these prolific little buggers keep appearing in drains or scurrying passed as a light gets flicked on.
