Coffeeshop Office in JapanI go to Starbucks from time to time, they have a decent enough WIFI and for about US$12 you get 30days unlimited access (this is in Taiwan) this gives you access to WIFI in places like MOS or Dantee coffee shop. I like the atmosphere, only drawback i...
Vending Machine Prices in JapanThe Calpis is actually 147 in 711-AM/PM but the difference is so little that it hardly matters unlike most in Europe here you pay EURO2 for a can.
Forever 21 TokyoWasn't that Tommy Hillfiger? But I am sure money convinced him to reconsider. They can (and probably will) charge triple in Japan for what they charge in the US.
Forever 21 TokyoJust wait till Abercrombie comes to Japan this fall... the lines will be insane. Heard that there was a 3 hour + wait when H&M first came... I like fashion but I cannot think of a store that is worth waiting 3 or more hours for.
Japanese Women CompromiseI just wonder what these women make themselves? and what their education background is.. Money is a factor, but if you love each other a solution can always be found.
Japanese Password UsageI have over 70 usernames and passwords. to my shame I have to admit I had to write them down, especially some that I only use once a month. I tend to be reluctant with having the web browser remember my passwords as other people sometimes use my lapt...
Cyber TheftI enjoy Guildwars.. characters are saved online.. to my knowledge you can only delete them intentionally.. City of Heroes and City of Villains look like great fun (especially now they combined the two).
Great Postal ServiceI used to work as a postman to pay my way through university. In general everyone took good care, but sometimes packages got mishandled. Luckily when found out the people that did it were called to order.
KotobukiyaI like Misato....will most likely get that.
As for Spiderman 3..prepare to be disappointed...has loads of potential but misses the mark completely. The birth of Sandman is the highlight.
Christmas in JapanAll the lights are up, the shops are playing "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" (it is 24 degrees celcius), but come Christmas day everyone will go to work as usual.
Pocket Money in JapanI got a parttime job in the final years in Highschool and worked through university, it was better money then my pocket money and it saved my from the guild trip.
A week in Tokyo 4I tend to keep the boxes, something I am seriously going to have to rethink as I am running out of space. Some Collectors items never leave the box.
As for Heroes, your best bet is the midseason show heroes Origins which should air next summer....do...
Ishigaki IslandI have been to Japan twice both for work with some days tagged on for fun. Was in Hisroshima, Kyoto, and Tokyo. Definately looking forward to another visit. The beaces in Tokyo didn't look anything like the ones on Ishigaki Island...in Tokyo I would...
Naked in PublicIt is sad that depictions of violence are much more readily accepted then nudity (I am not refering to pornography). be it in art, movies or television.
Nintendo Game CheatsAlas the days of me having infinate time are well behind me, so if I get stuck rather then spent 2-3 hours figuring out what to do I quickly refer to online guides. I can't see how they would harm the sales.
HeroesHeroes is a good watch..shame that it looks like Dec 3 might be the season finale (only 11 episodes rather then 24). I can Fully recommend the new BSG, it should be high on your to watch list. BSG is one of the better sfifi shows out there. If you ha...
Tokyo Street Performanceunusual....that is a unique style of "dancing"...as long as she is having fun good for her....Guess it already gave her a worldwide exposure
Japanese PhonesAdmittedly I want my phone to have a decent battery life and be failry easy to text (and of course make phonecalls) other then that it has to be small..and believe me they are hard to find...like you mentioned a lot are comparable to a brick. My GF h...
Japanese GirlsThere is no problem with wearing glasses, some choices that girls make are rather unfortunate and don't fit their face but no reason to ridicule them. What is getting popular here now is lenses that have a coloured rim, to get the puppy dog eye effec...
Pivo2Looks quite cool...not sure if I'd want to be in one in case of a carcrash though. Speaking og Nissan did you see the Nissan Pino (www.pinoshop.jp). It is the most Kawaii car ever. It has an enormous selection of acessories (seat covers, tissue dispe...
Japan InternetThere are few English langiuage channels here 6-8 (inc 4 movie channels)so I tend to download US tv. Actually did try to get some shows via iTunes but alas the US iTunes does not allow people outside North America to buy....so until there is an alter...
Japanese NeighborsThey seem like friendly people, but most of the neighbours here seem to stick to themselves (that or they just try to avoid the only foreigner living in the appartment block). Most places do seem to have a strong sense of community.

Japanese GhostsI may be too much of a sceptical but these photos look to me like multiple exposures or longer shuttertimes which caused blurring. I am sure there are unexplained phenomena out there these photos however are not part of them. The reaction of the audi...
