Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The arm’s-length flats of Tokyo
Harry Potter didn’t choose to live in a
cupboard under the stairs of his aunt’s house. When his parents were killed by a
vicious wizard Voldemort, or you-know-who, he was left no choice but to be part
of the Dursley family until he was enrolled in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry.
Now, in Tokyo, the world’s most crowded metropolis
with over 38 million residents, there are young muggles who choose to live in a
cupboard-size apartment. Since such tiny apartments are economical and conveniently
located, they are highly demanded by young people who want to save living costs
and commuting time. Also, it is somewhat convenient because everything in the
room can be reached within arm’s length. The problem is noises from other rooms
because those apartments are built cheaply. Interestingly though, some of the
residents are used to such living noises and they even enjoy the feeling of living at
home.
The cost of living in a cupboard size apartment
is less than $800. It’s still cheaper than staying in a capsule hotel in Tokyo.
Enjoy watching the video and learn about this
cupboard life in Tokyo.
