Our apartment only has a 60 amp breaker, so we can't run more than three 20 amp A/C units at a time (if nothting else in the house is running.) Based on this (and the cost of A/C units), we opted to not to put A/C in the guest bedrooms. Sorry guests! My suggestion is to not come in June, July or August! As an alternative, we thought we would put ceiling fans in those 2 rooms instead. This is what the outlet in the ceiling looks like. We are hoping that the metal hooks mean it can support a ceiling fan, but no one really seems to know. We bought them anyway and hope that the guys who comes to install will know.
Next major snaffoo was the using the corporate credit card. Well, it seems when you buy something other than meals and hotel rooms on a corporate credit card... like say 40" flat screen TVs and refridgerators --there is evidentally a big red fraud flag that gets raised. It took no less than 3 calls to Citibank to finally get the charges approved and processed.
While Gary was on the phone for hours I kept myself busy translating every sign in katakana around me for practice. The biggest mystery sign, was for ma-ga-na-ti-zi-n-ga glasses, which after using my powers of deduction, I realized they really meant magnifying glasses... aka readers! (but without lights). Also, decoded a-ro-ma te-ra-pi. Diffusers for aroma therapy!
