It took a lot of going back and forth between cities and visiting of several patisserie schools but we have finally decided to set up camp in Osaka. The first time we visited Osaka was actually quite hectic because we were running all over the place to visit schools and having to decide right away since the hubby had two job offers, one in Hiroshima and another one in Osaka, both of which he had to accept or decline as the deadline was that evening. So after thinking about it and and comparing pros and cons we actually decided on Osaka. We ended up staying two nights in the city looking at apartments, finding one, visiting the school I really wanted to enter and get all the necessary info, going to hubby's new workplace and sign the contract before boarding the late afternoon bullet train back to Hiroshima. After packing and finding a moving company we got on a bus a week later to begin our new lives in Osaka.
As of now, after moving into our new apartment and somewhat settling down, well we are sitting on stools and/or cushions and our makeshift dining table is a moving box with a tablecloth over it, I am currently preparing for the interview and Japanese language test that the school will administer. Only if I pass both will I be able to attend the school. I'm keeping my fingers crossed while studying hard. Will update later. Wish me luck!
Just because we haven't acquired any furniture for dining it doesn't mean that we will skimp on food. As real foodies we need to have our priorities straight. Hopefully in a month or two we will have chairs and a proper table... Maybe!
