帮blogger找住处

by Yan

有个波兰人联系我,要我帮他在东京找住处。可惜,我在当地也是局外人一个,没有什么资源可以提供,也不知道什么渠道可以帮助他。

如果你正好有个主意,告诉我吧。

Dear Yan Feng,

My name is Marek. I have found website somehow through Google or a
list of Japan related blogs. I am a geeky traveller who have just
arrived in Japan after having spent a month and a half in Seoul, Korea
(originally, I come from Poland, Europe.)

I have taken an unusual approach in finding some accommodation in Tokyo
by asking for help a few bloggers who already live in Tokyo,
and you happen to be one of them. Can you help?
Ideally, I would like to stay in a shared house or apartment
with some science-inclined people, young professionals or students,
whatever, preferrably some Japanese so that I can have someone to
explain me some of the intricacies of Japanese culture. It would be
perfect if the place would not be far from some park where I could go
for a jog but that is not necessary. Oh, the place must have an
internet access but that is probably not a problem here.

Some more info about me. I am a recent computer science graduate who
now works as a self-employed software developer specialising in online
games development (I run the largest Polish onling gaming site,
www.kurnik.org). I am 26, male, non-smoker with little tolerance to
cigarette smoke, somewhat geeky. I am going to stay in Japan untill
around the middle of December.

If you know someone who has a room for rent or just have an idea how I
can find someone like that, please let me know (I have already tried
posting to some English language bulletin boards but that did not
help). Any help is welcome as I start to feel a bit helpless.

cheers,
Marek
