QotD:また引っ越し/I Get Around
How many places have I lived in my life? Well, three countries (Japan, the US, China), 5 different state/prefecture/provinces (Tokyo, Washington, Indiana, Jiangsu, Shanghai, once you start getting more specific things start getting ugly.
今まで住んだ場所か、国に分ければ3つ(日本、アメリカ、中国)、州・省・都道府県レベルで5個(東京、ワシントン、インディアナ、江蘇省、上海)、具体化するとちょっと汚いかな。
今までの人生で何カ所に住んだ事がありますか?
How many places have you lived in your life?
Starting from when I was born, there was public housing in Meguro-ku (Tokyo), when I was one we moved to the place my folks lived for the next thirty years of their lives Kaminoge, Setagaya-ku (Tokyo), when I was four everyone except my father moved to Seattle for a year (two houses South Seattle, Laurelhurst). That's four different locations, and then we moved back to the same house in Tokyo.
生まれて1年間は目黒区の公共住宅に住んでいた、その後世田谷区に引っ越した。4歳の時父以外の家族がシアトルに1年間引っ越した(サウス・シアトルとローレルハースト)。これで4カ所目、1年すぎたら、世田谷区に戻った。
When I was fourteen I moved to Olympia, Washington and crashed with my brother for half a year while I looked for a school. After being accepted I lived for the next four and a half years in various locations around the Greater Seattle area, Sand Point, North Seattle, Wedgewood, Kirkland, Greenwood, Edmonds and then Greenwood again (seven locations, so twelve total now).
14歳の時に学校を探すためにアメリカにわたり、ワシントン州のオリンピアにある兄の家で半年居候をした。学校が決まったら、次の4年半はシアトルの近郊でいろんなところを体験した、サンド・ポイント、ノース・シアトル、ウェッジウッド、カークランド、グリーンウッド、エドモンズ、そしてまたグリーンウッド(これで7カ所だから系12カ所)
I went to Indiana for college and lived on campus for four years, I switched rooms every year (Hoerner, Barret, Barret and then Warren halls for those who care), but despite the fact that I was hauling all my stuff around every year, I was pretty much living in the same place in Richmond, Indiana for those four years. So, that's thirteen.
大学はインディアナのアーラム大学に行った、毎年部屋はかわったが、4年間寮生活だったから、同じ場所だ。ここで13カ所目。
After college, I moved to China. I went to Nanjing University and lived in their foreign students dormitory. After one semester, circumstances dictated that I move to Shanghai, so I moved to Shanghai, where I lived for a year and a half. That make fifteen different places.
大学の後、中国に引っ越した。南京大学の留学生寮に住んでいた、半年したら、南京から上海へ引っ越して、上海には1年半いた。これで15カ所。
After returning to Japan, I lived at my parents' house for a year. Per Horie household rules, I got kicked out after a year and I lived with my brother in Ebisu for a month and then he moved to Shibuya and I lived with him for another two months. I then moved to Hatanodai in Shinagawa-ku, where I lived for two and a half years. I then made a declaration to live within walking distance (45 minutes or less) from where I work and moved to Shirogane, where I just recently renewed my rental agreement (two year cycles). That's 19 different places and to be completely honest with anyone that cares, I wouldn't mind moving again.
日本に帰国してから1年間親の家に住んだ。堀江家のルールもあり、1年すぎたら追い出されたので、伊花月間恵比寿で兄と住む、その後兄が引っ越したので渋谷で2ヶ月間一緒に住む。そして、旗の台(品川区)で再び一人暮らしを始める。旗の台で2年半過ごした後、職場から徒歩圏内(45分)に住む事を決めたため白金に引っ越し、この前契約を更新した。これで全部で19カ所、ちなみに最近引っ越したくなってきた。

私は、日野-多摩-町田-多摩-サンディエゴ-多摩-六本木 だから、家としては、6ヶ所目だ。
ダイスの19箇所はスゴイね・・・
で、次の住まいは、うちのマンションの最上階 -東京タワー側- で決まり?!
買っちゃえ~!
I counted Richmond as one and I didn't count the halfway houses I had to live in.
