I never went apartment hunting, so maybe that's why I am unfamiliar. At least where I lived, what was a "1K" apartment was always called a ワン・ルーム・マンション. You learn something new every day.

And to Mystic Light, I was an English teacher for three years and spent almost no other time with non-Japanese teachers, and was very involved in the local and regional Japanese culture. It's not the job that determines your experience, but your personality.
