Japanese Cell Phones!!!
Japanese cell phones (keitai) are simply amazing! All come equipped with email, cameras, internet, etc. I love my new cell phone. It is a shiny metallic PINK of all colors. (Japan is a very color and gender conscious society: the floor of one women's bathroom I used last night was pink and grey while the men's was blue and yellow.) To receive another person's email address and phone number and other profile information, it is only necessary to put the two phones close to each other and "send" the information via infra-red technology. Very advanced and very exciting! The profile part of the phone stores information other than just contact info, such as birthday, horoscope sign, and blood type. Evidently, blood types are especially important in Japan.

Hi Jane, long time no see. I am surprised by the fact that you are in Japan now. Of course, pleasantly surprised. How is your life there? I didn't take any Japanese class this semester,so my Japanese is going down. Fujihara sensee is in my department now. We meet all the time and she insists talking to me in Japanese. I guess your Japanese will be much better than mine once you come back from Japan. :( Anyway, enjoy your life there. I am happy for you. Gang san.
Hey Jane!
Love your blog, it's awesome to be able to follow you in your daily life in Japan. I really, really wish you all the best there, even tho I really, really miss you here! The office is dull without your notes :)
Can you text message internationally with your brand new pink cell??? Let me know, so we can text.
Bisous,
Nico.
