Shibuya Street Dancer

Neil — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 06:50:47 +0000

I had cause to visit Shibuya one last time the day before i left Japan.

I ran into this fella, dancing to the tune of “It’s Raining Men” and drawing quite a crowd just near the Hachiko exit.

His moves were OK, his enthusiasm was spot on, my only suggestion would be a less revealling pair of shorts.

Shibuya is full of interesting sights, both during the day and at night and was home to one of my favourite photos.Similar Posts:

92 Brush Head Massager

Neil — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 03:45:39 +0000

Work getting you down? Troubles on the home front? or if just need a good head massage … then this will appeal to you.

I love having my bald head massaged and, despite looking a little silly, i think this would feel great.

For a mere 2800 yen you can get one …. and i just might satisfy my curiosity and buy one.

All the details and some more pics of the massager in action here … in Japanese only though.Similar Posts:

Flight Control iPhone Game

Neil — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 05:35:25 +0000

By far my favourite game on the iPhone is Flight Control so when i saw that New Airfields had arrived i couldn’t download it quick enough.

I often wondered why there was a need for a 5 digit number in the score, considering I’ve only ever reached 100 on 3 occasions and currently have a highest score of 154 which gives me “1st Officer Status”

The you go to YouTube and type in Flight Control and see guys like this belting out scores of greater than 10000. Some serious time on the iPhone to get that high a score, time i just don’t have at the moment.

So if you’re a Flight Control fan then get over to iTunes and download the update right away.

OK, So i know it’s Friday and there’s no J-Babe Of The Week ….. I’ve been busy of late and will be for a while yet, with some changes expected around here. The J-Babe Of The Week will be back … just not every week.Similar Posts:

Japanese Phone Technology Revealed

Neil — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 03:54:11 +0000

When i first came to Japan i was excited about getting a mobile phone that could do more than the ones back home, like hold money which i could use to pay for goods and services at different places.

I have no idea the technology to implement this feature was so basic.

Even though there’s no capability to store money in it, I still prefer my iPhone any day of the week.Similar Posts:

Neil — Fri, 29 May 2009 01:44:31 +0000

I’ve been a bit busy of late, and will be over the next few weeks too but on Tuesday I had some time at home and watched the Tyson documentary.

He’s gone through some massive things in his life, good bad right and wrong and looked like he finally had it all together and then this week tragically loses a child …. terrible shame.

Anyone with an interest in boxing and specifically Mike Tyson would find this an interesting watch.

Japan + Alcohol = Karaoke

Neil — Mon, 25 May 2009 05:09:36 +0000

Karaoke happens in 2 main types of places in Japan, the Karaoke Box and the Snack Bar …. i prefer the Snack myself, they’re always full of great characters and never a dull moment.

So when i saw this diagram via Tokyo Mango on the weekend i did have to laugh at the accuracy of it all.

Japans’ and indeed my own love of Alcohol often results in Karaoke.

However, for the most part i’m never so drunk that i fall off my bar stool

At least he saw the funny site of it too.Similar Posts:

Viewing Your iPhone Bill Online

Neil — Thu, 14 May 2009 01:33:46 +0000

There’s nothing easy about navigating around the Softbank and trying to check your iPhone bill online, unless of course you’re extremely competent in Japanese.

I knew i’d been able to do it before but getting there again wasn’t easy at all so here’s the step by step, with pictures, on how to check your iPhone statements online.

Go to the My SoftBank website and here’s the screen you’ll see. Enter your User ID and Password in the appropriate area then hit the black box below it that says “Login”

Provided you’ve entered your password correctly you should be in.

See, success it says i’m “Logined” ….. now hit the black button where ‘X” marks the spot.

Next, you’re asked to enter your 4 digit password, this is the one you would have assigned when you bought the phone … then hit the “X” button.

O.K, we’re in …. on the left hand side there’s 3 main areas i’m interested in, ongoing cost for current bill cycle, a summary of your last 6 months bills and also the ability to view your last months bill in a detailed manner and download a pdf of it.

By selecting the first one “Current Bill Cycle” you get the ongoing totals for the month, voice charges (40 yen) , mail charges (1300 yen) and packets (692,633 yen) …. right now i’m glad there’s a cap on the cost of the iPhone’s in Japan!

The second option “Last 6 Months Bill Summary” gives you just that, an itemised view of what you paid.

Lastly the 3rd button “Last Months Detailed View & PDF Download” lets you grab a softcopy to print it out. The buttons at the top (Green and Blue) let you cycle back and forth to the month you want.

There you have it, i think you’d be surprised at how much your iPhone would cost you if you didn’t have a capped plan, i know i was the first time i saw it.

I’d be interested to know who has the highest bill, either the amount you pay each month or the data costs before the cap is applied so check it out online now.Similar Posts:
