The Day I Bought a Phone

Today I realized how behind the times America ranks as far as cell phones. Granted, my phone was pretty bad back home; with about 30 minutes of battery life and a black and white display, but Japanese phones are the clear wave of the future.

But first, a bit of good news. Yesterday, Andee took some pictures of me at the school festival, so I have some concrete evidence that it actually occurred. Also, I sang again and got a video of the whole performance (including a Ben Folds Five song) from today’s performance in the Judo dojo. There was also a comedy show and karaoke performance on the plaza. Andee did some Tae-Kwan-Do which was quite impressive. After school Andee came home with me so I could procure his pictures, then we went to buy my phone.

My phone was inexpensive, and the service cost is about the same as it is in America. This phone is not only tiny, but is also a two mega pixel camera, sends e-mail, has a huge screen on the inside and outside of the phone, plays Super Mario, and controls the TV. It is also quite sleek in regard to design.

Tomorrow is sports day, so I'm looking forward to a hot and sweaty afternoon. The weather here is wonderful, but with all the heat I sometimes miss colder weather.
