Uesugi Heisuke left the classroom, walked out of the campus, and strode in the direction of the dormitory.

In Japan, liao means dormitory, which is subdivided into service liao and autonomous liao.

As the name suggests, the dormitory operator charges a monthly management fee, usually 2,000 to 3,000 yen, to provide services to students living in the dormitory, such as cleaning, dumping garbage, repairing electrical appliances and sewer pipes, and so on.

The self-government dormitory is cleaned by the students themselves, although it is harder, but it can save money, and the self-government committee also often organizes dinners, camping and other activities, while exercising hands-on ability, it can also make life more colorful.

The most famous squattery in the whole of Japan is Kyoto University's world-famous super strange house, Yoshida ryo.

Yoshida Liao was built in 1913 and the monthly rent is only 2,500 yen, which is equivalent to about 150 yuan.

You know, it's unthinkable to live in downtown Kyoto at such a low price, but it's matched by old wooden buildings, mottled squat toilets, and grease-stained kitchens at the end of the hallway.

The student government association also raises chickens, sheep, and rabbits in the courtyard of Liao, and when the fat and meat are thick, they divide and eat these animals, and by the way, submit a study report to prevent the inbreeding of goats.

All in all, Yoshida-ryo is a completely student-run utopia, and as long as there is music and wine, literature and freedom, students don't care about the leaky walls every winter.

The school has gritted its teeth angrily against this group of free and loose students, and has tried to demolish Yoshida Liao countless times, but because of the unbearable force value, it was sadly beaten back by the students, and the large-scale confrontation between the school and the students every year is also a wonderful event that Kyoto University cannot miss.

If you have the opportunity to visit Kyoto, you can apply for temporary accommodation on the Yoshida-ryo website, which used to cost 200 yen per night, which is about 13 yuan, but since 2017, it has been completely free.

Residents can also meet with Kyoto University students in the evening, singing and drinking, but due to the large number of applicants, the chances of being selected are slim.

In addition, the other three of Japan's four major squatters, Hokkaido University's Ediliao, Tohoku University's Meizenliao, and the University of Tokyo's Komaba Liao, are also flocked to by young students, and applicants are bursting every year.

Free and spontaneous secretion of hormones, probably this is the true meaning of youth.

At the same time, the middle-aged and elderly people and teachers in the society grit their teeth with hatred for these self-governing dormitories full of dogs and horses, and they may have forgotten that they were actually young.

About five minutes after leaving the school, Uesugi Heisuke found himself in a nondescript gray five-story building, which was his dormitory.

Unlike Huaxia, which likes to put student dormitories on campus and strictly manage them, most schools in Japan have dormitories outside the campus, and they are mixed with men and women, and they can come and go freely.

Like a boy taking his girlfriend home to cook, pulling hands after eating, etc., are all common things in the dormitory.

I have to say that the relationship between men and women in Japan is really simple, just like we have to drink water every day, boys and girls go to the hotel, they have to pay half of the room rate, which is absolutely unimaginable in China.

And this is Osaka University of the Arts, full of handsome guys and beautiful women, I didn't find much romance, but Uesugi Heisuke found that his classmates were really waves, and the sound of fierce battles between men and women at night often made him insomnia.

In Japan's old-fashioned society, where you have to write a letter to open a bank account, mail a notice for utility bills, and mail an appointment card to buy a new figure, it's hard for anyone to leave the postal system.

Uesugi Heisuke took out a few letters from the mailbox and went to the third floor while reading them.

Most of the letters were sales advertisements, nothing special, and one of the letters was a manga franchise store in Nihonbashi that would hold an author signing party, and Uesugi Heisuke would be invited to participate, which was somewhat interesting.

As we all know, Tokyo's mecca for anime lovers is Akihabara.

In the Osaka area, Nihonbashi near Namba is the largest gathering place, and Nihonbashi has a strong two-dimensional atmosphere, but unfortunately the scale is a little smaller, and it is not like Akihabara, which has a surprising number of maid cafes, and whether it is in the past or in the present life, Uesugi Heisuke enjoys the kneeling service of cute maids.

Uesugi Heisuke's room is only 8.7 square meters, in addition to a table, chairs and beds, there is a cupboard for clothes and luggage, a small toilet, coin laundry and common facilities such as a gas stove kitchen, all outside in the common area, and a refrigerator is also shared.

Uesugi Heisuke is not against communal use, but the yogurt he keeps in the fridge often disappears inexplicably, which bothers him, after all, he has been in the habit of drinking some yogurt or milk before going to bed for many years, otherwise it feels like something is missing.

The conditions are much worse than apartment buildings with separate kitchens in every room, but fortunately the rent is acceptable, and there is no need to pay a deposit or give the landlord a gift of unknown significance.

The rent of the dormitory where Uesugi Heisuke lives is 37,000 yen per month, which is still in the Kansai area, and if it is in Tokyo, where land is expensive, the same dormitory will cost about 50,000 yen.

In Japan, since most schools are private and the ultimate goal is to make money, dormitories are not cheap, and they are slightly more expensive than the rent in the market, which has the advantage of being close to the school and safer.

Uesugi Heisuke plans to wait until the end of this semester to rent a house by himself, so that he will have more freedom and it will be convenient for him to cook and eat at home.

However, Osaka University of the Arts' Department of Imaging is ranked seventh in Japan, with an annual tuition fee of 1.83 million yen, and the cost of living independently is very expensive.

"I hope that with the advantage of being reborn, I can get rich as soon as possible."

Uesugi opened the drawer, took out the envelope with the Japan Post Bank logo, and counted a wad of banknotes on the table, seventeen of them of 10,000 yuan, three of 1,000 yuan, and a few coins in his pocket.

This is all of Uesugi Heisuke's savings, which the previous owner of this body had saved by working hard, in fact, there was originally 260,000 yen in the envelope, but he had already spent part of it.

After thinking about it, Uesugi Heisuke took out two 10,000 yuan bills and put them in his jacket pocket.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he took three more pieces of 10,000 yuan and three pieces of 1,000 yuan.

In the end, Uesugi Heisuke simply put the entire envelope in his mouth and muttered in a low voice, "As the old saying goes, money is a man's guts, although it is more than enough to spend 10,000 yen tonight, but as an adult, there is always nothing wrong with bringing more money with you to meet your favorite young lady, you can't look too poor and sour." ”

Perhaps because of the huge amount of 170,000 yen in his pocket, when Heisuke Uesugi, who was wearing a cheap Uniqlo, looked in the mirror, he found that his figure seemed to be much taller, and he was more energetic.

Although digital currency is very convenient, Uesugi Heisuke still prefers the unique feel of paper money, holding a stack of banknotes in his hand, heavy, really satisfying and reassuring.

According to the statistics of the World Bank, the average circulation time of the yen is the shortest in the world, only three years and two months, that is, after more than three years of manufacturing, a banknote will be recycled.

Therefore, the yen circulating in the market is almost always brand new, and it looks clean, snapping, and exudes the unique aroma of ink.

With such a beautifully printed brand new 10,000 yuan bill, grab a stack, weigh it, and stuff it into a wallet.

Leaving the village, Uesugi Heisuke headed for the subway station, took the Osaka Municipal Subway Midosuji Line, and got off at Shin-Imamiya Station.

Just a few hundred meters to the north, there is the popular attraction of Tsutenkaku, which is full of tourists, and almost all Chinese tourists will go to Tsutenkaku to check in when they come to Osaka.

But visitors will never know that just across the road to the south is Nishinari Ward, the largest slum in Japan.

and the Nitta Enclave, the largest and most traditional nightlife area in the entire Kansai region and the most traditional in Japan, which still retains the atmosphere of the Edo shogunate era.
