[A New Life Found in a Share House] — Real Voices from Residents

Hello! I'm Seita, manager of Garn17.

Today, we asked the residents of our share house for their honest opinions on what it was like to actually live there. This is a must-read for anyone considering living in a share house!

■Kana (27 years old, Japan, Expo part-timer)
At first, I was a little worried about what it would be like to live in a shared house. But once I actually started living there, every day was a series of new discoveries.
It's especially diverse internationally; in the kitchen, I get to sample quiches, cordon bleu, and puddings made by a French girl, and on weekends I go hiking in the nearby mountains with an Australian girl. I never thought the day would come when I'd be using English in everyday conversations (lol). Every day is full of new discoveries, and having friends nearby to talk to casually even when I'm tired is the best!

■Anonymous [Male, 30s, IT Engineer (from France)]
“I wanted a place where I could meet both locals and people from other countries. Here, we often have dinner together and share stories from our cultures. It feels like a small global village.”

■Anonymous [Female, 30s, Freelancer (Japanese)]
"It's become normal to hear English being spoken all over the house, and I feel like I'm gradually becoming able to speak it myself. I realized that a shared house is a place where you can connect with the world while living there."
