I'm still trying to come to terms with the Japanese use of "semi-double". I'm a literal-minded* fellow and I figure half of two is one, so semi-double is just a single, which I now learn from Perry is a twin.

Dude ..... wait, what?

Double is not actually twice the size of a single/twin. It's called double because it's for double the people. So I'm guessing a semi-double would be thinner than a twin/single to fit those itsy bitsy Japanese apartments?
