Life in Japan: Battling Extreme Heat, Poor Insulation & Mega Earthquake Warnings
What a crazy week. Life in Japan has been interesting so far. We have had extreme heat and continual Mega Earthquake Warnings. Who knows when the big one will hit and if it does, will my house fall down? I check out inside my ceiling as I install insulation up in the roof of my Japanese House. This is my Japanese Akiya.
If you are new to the channel, my name is Chani and I am a middle aged Australia who was stuck in a rut and moved to Japan to live. I bought an Akiya or empty house and started renovating. I'd love it if you joined the community.
