sakebomb 0 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I always see apartment blocks with crazy/funny names. I used to live in one called Jaguar & another Tetsuichibankan. But today I saw a recently built apartment block- the name was Ritz carlton. I don't think it lives up to it's name though, looks like pretty standard fair. Any one else seen some interesting aparto names? Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I know some that are simply "The Ritz". It's a big block with about 40 aparto in it, about 15 years old. Not sure I'd want to stay there. Some bizarre car names as well. Link to post Share on other sites

veronica 2 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Mine is so boring, White Heights. Funny thing is, it's a light green color. THeres a lot of confusion in Japan, isn't there? Link to post Share on other sites
connackers 0 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Apparently green is really blue anyway or is it vice versa? And red also means green but only for a few seconds! I live in `Liberty Yasuhara Part III` Link to post Share on other sites
