Just bought the new edition of 'Tokyo isshukan (weekly) - it has a really dumb cover saying stuff like 'Tokyo and Yokohama love illuminations for you and your lover' 'Top 20 heat-up spots' - it also contains a detailed pull-out love hotel guide. However, I bought it because it does contain detailed listings of movies, events, art showings, restaurants, and general new cool consumerism news THAT can't be found in English anywhere.
Anyway, darin knows my dirty little secret, but now I will publish it on the Internet. I really want a new mobile phone...there, I said it. And I really want one with chaku-uta, a ringtone that plays like a REAL song. Up until now, only AU users have had access to chaku-uta, BUT this wonderful magazine says (and I believe what I read), that Vodafone now have a chaku-uta phone - it is known as the V801sa. The features of this phone are awesome - video tv, can send text messages when overseas...etc, etc.... I'm happy (I'd be very happy if it came in pink...) - will check it out this weekend. Isn't owning a cool phone one of the true Japanese experiences??!!
Weekend plans
* To try and finish my first crochet project - a pretty rug using natural cotton, sparkly pink and dark chocolate brown wool!!
* To visit the Plastination exhibit in Ginza. It was only meant to run until the end of this year, but due to its popularity they have extended the exhibition period until the end of February....no need to rush. It costs 1500 yen to get in, but if you go to the exhibition between 5pm and 8pm, access some website on your keitai and show them when entering then you get a big discount of 200 yen!!! Important money-saving information.
