Ok... so that post worked. Great! You must excuse me once again. That post is a few days old, and I was frantically trying to put it up on the blog in the last 2 minutes of my internet cafe time allowance the last time I was herre. My whole webpage appeared to me in Japanese Kanji (characters/alphabet) and I couldn`t read a thing. I still can`t read anything but I have spent the last 20minutes pressing every button/link.
Melissa and I bought a telephone yesterday. Ｆｏｒ ａｎｙｏｎｅ ｉｎｔｅｒｅｓｔｅｄ， ｔｈｅ ｎｕｍｂｅｒ ｉｓ ０９０－８５３０－１３８６． We are having issues with getting internet though. We expect to have internet in our home some time around mid August. The company that provides internet hookup -Yahoo BB- requires our Gai-Jin card (the registration card I spoke about in the last post) and it will take them 4 weeks to schedule us an instalation date. I guess we`ｌｌ be using the cafe for a little while longer.
I bought a sweet camera on Monday. For those of you who know what is what, it is a: Casio 10 megapixl, 3X optical and 5X digital zoom, and digital stabalization (I had hoped for optical, but alas I can`t have it all)... the going price, with a 1 Gig SD card... $255 CAD. Anybody who has the latest toｙs here in Japan is rockin` the 12 MegaP cameras, but I am happy with yester-year`s model.
Anyway, we have most of what we need... maybe some less glamorous toys like a rice cooker, are still needed, but we are pretty set.
A word about beverages here. Multi-fruit and vegie drinks are popular. We were hesitant at first, but have since tried a couple of brands and types. If you ever visit Japan, and you need juice... buy the green ones. We haven`t had a green beverage yet that hasn`t blown away the competing red, white (cloudy...but not milk), clear, and bubbly beverages. Put that in the knowledge bank!
`Till next time,
Mike
