house tour

[katriona_s]

On the last Friday(the national holiday) I visited my cousins' new house in Tokyo. My aunt (my mother's sister) and her two daughters(my cousins) live there together. I enjoyed to see and be in the house, it's a rather big, and beautiul house with big living room and many windows. They are a talented family, my aunt is an amateur painter, one of my cousins is a researcher of the Japanese art in the medieval period and the other is a nurse who is in charge the health care of the employees of some company. They are not the ordinary housewife nor officeworkers, have the strong character. Thus their house is also rather unique, very different from mine. What has impressed me then was that how different in what kind of house people feel comfortable was. Their house was nice but I would not feel very relaxed in it, for me the rooms seem to be too big and have too much space and not with enough furniture. The house reflect the owner's character, it seems.
This is one of the reason why I like visiting the private houses of other peole :)
