Time to clue you in on some of the things I’ve been spending my money on

There’s food of course, man’s gotta eat you know.

And the subway expenses are quite impressive

But . . . Japan is a country of electronics and I bet you’re all a lot more interrested in those sort of things.
On one of the first days I had to get a mobile phone . . . Japanese people do not believe in thin phones. The majority of phones here are regular bricks. And I was close to buying one of the few thin ones when I found out that for a mere 500 yen a month more I could get this. True, if my wallet was as thick as that I’d be having a party ’till the end of this year. But it features a 5 megapixel camera with flash perfect for party pictures.

Now, I can hear you thinking . . . if you’ve had this thing for a month, and the blog mentions some parties . . . where’s the pictures.

The handbook’s in Japanese . . . I can’t make heads or tails of it. And the pictures are secure on my phone. Together with the “man dances with dead frog around his neck” picture I took today.

Then I bought this a week ago. So far I’ve been using it to write stuff on . . . . Money well spent eh. But as soon as I get my own internet and some decent games I’ll use it for some higher gains.

And then with the money generously donated by my family I got: An English-Japanese electronic dictionary.

A truely marvelous machine . . . Now if they’d just make these things for English speakers learning Japanese instead of the other way around I reckon I could actually read the manual and use it properly. I’d've posted an english description . . .  but there isn’t any.
