I didn't go to open the door (still stark naked and nursing a hangover) so just chatted on the handset/phone thingee. "Heard that a new person has moved in..." etc etc "I'm the new householder" "I've come to collect the jushinryou..." etc etc "Don't have a TV" (truth, haven't got around to buying one) and so on it went. He seemed more than a little skeptical (surprise!), so I told him that I was a gaigin and just used the internet whenever I wanted to find out WTF was going on. Any bets on when he comes back? Monthly? Weekly? Tommorrow?
