Been searching the internet for that box for a while. No luck
Is it harddrives?
Free iPhones for StudentsThe GPS thing seems a little creepy. Professors and grad students could use it to study your behaviors secretly. I don't like knowing that my University would know everywhere I go. Could be used malevolently. Like finding people in secluded places to...
Japanese Toilet EtiquetteI think the kneeling in front of the urinal is a bit overkill.
And I think I'd feel gross using those more than once especially if other people used them as well.
Shibuya - Then and NowThis reminds me of my Japanese History class. My professor finds lots of videos from the 1930s on youtube and sometimes shows them while lecturing. Would love to link you guys to one of the videos but they are hard to find without knowing Japanese.
RandoseruWow that is expensive! All public kindergartens through high schools here are free. University isn't though but if you can't pay for it you can apply for a government discount or a free tuition paid for by the state. You must meet certain criteria an...
Japan Optic Fiber InternetI pay 54USD for 10Mbps.
The wires are all underground but they don't need to do anything to set up your internet since the infrastructure is already set up. They have to run a new line if you want a dedicated Fiber Optic line though.
The workers h...
Sony Vaio P Boot TimeMy vista 32bit laptop boots to the login screen in 35-55 seconds then takes another 15 seconds to login and load the desktop. Vista isn't too bad. Windows 7 64bit took a bit shorter but that I timed that with a fresh install.
Unity YunoI started reading here for life in Japan but the site has made me more interested in figures and gunpla. But like MSZ006ZETA I read and enjoy everything here.
7pm in Tokyo - Togoshi GinzaIts very expensive for me to eat out so I'm trying to do it less. I'm very cheap though so even though I eat out like 5 times a week I only spend like 20 dollars. Its a lot considering I don't plan on getting a job until at least Fall 09.
Subway has...
Seijin ShikiDang CC Lemon has a giant meeting room. I love that drink!
I wish we had a coming of age ceremony thing here. Would have loved to done something fancy with all my friends.
Neon LED Stormtrooper HelmetMy friends helmet has little fans to exhaust his breathe out so it doesn't fog up. Just make sure you don't have bad breathe!
Strike WitchesI have a PS3 but BluRay costs too much compared to DVDs. Also I have an account that lets me stream DVDs online so I don't buy DVDs either. I think Bluray is going to fail since everything is moving toward digital distribution. I know my DVD streamin...
7pm in Tokyo - CurryIn San Diego CA all I've seen were curry roux block type curries in restaurants. Like if you buy curry its plain with nothing in it :(. I wish we had some curry that over here looks so good.
Thundercats Movie TrailerWatching the trailer was so weird until I realized that they were painting over existing movie scenes. I was like "That guy has a very striking resemblance to Jackman's Wolverine....". Then I saw the Lion-o sword and shield clip and was like OHHhhhh!
Surgical masksI wish they did that here. I feel so embarrassed when I'm sick and coughing in class. Especially in those close quarters that lecture halls put you in. I hate feeling someone else's cough on me. Makes me feel sick (eugh).
