I'll start with the bad news: still no intarwebinets. Soon, maybe. At this point, I am resigned to a very long wait, and can't build up any kind of anger, righteous or otherwise.
Now, some good news: I have a phone in Japan. It has a 2 mega pixel camera with 2x optical zoom, bluetooth, 3G, cool multicoloured LED torch, and a good deal more. I also have a phone number, but I won't be publishing it here.
Some more news: Saranne came for a week and is now back in the sunny south of Japan. It was nice to hang out with an Aussie, and in particular, a Novocastrian. Did the expat Roppongi thing, saw a lot of Shinjuku for some reason (probably because I can get cheap tickets there from my place), and watched crazy Japanese television.
Burger phone!
Our house has a burger phone. From a bad 80's movie. Except more plastic. And cheaper (if that's possible).
Follow up training
I have what we refer to as FU training on Wednesday. It will be just like going to normal work, but probably with more people looking over my shoulder, and I'll have to get a different train ticket. Hooray.
Okay then, be cool folks, I'll have the internet one day, and on that day...
