Episode notes

In this episode, we talk about sharehouse living: from house parties and events to meeting people from other sharehouses, making new friends, having socialising spaces and your own space at the same time, and navigating the inevitable gossip and disagreements.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Sharehouse events, parties & social life

• Meeting people from other sharehouses

• Having your own space while living with others

• Being an introvert in a very social environment

• Gossip, drama & house dynamics (you may not always get along with everyone)

💬 We’d love to hear from you: Would you ever live in a sharehouse? And what's the biggest thing you think you'd struggle with?

🎙️ New episodes every Sunday 9pm JST. Follow for honest conversations about life in Japan, sharehouse living, and the experiences of foreigners building a life in Tokyo.
