Finally

I have gotten myself a laptop, and relatively cheap at that! 48000 yen, which is just a few hundred short of 3000 kroner. It's good, and nice, and it's mostly in japanese, but it's not a problem, since I could find my way around a computer in basically any language by now.

SO, timeformy first proper update.

Japann. Where to start.
I've noticed a lot of things about this place already, some things that really stand out.

First, there's the women. Everyone seems to wear short skirts and knee-long boots, even here in winter. I don't mind though, as that is a VERY nice combination.

Japanese people have 2 settings. Busy "oh god I have to hurry to X so I can do Y" mode, or patient"I'll just hang out here for a few hours and wait for Z " mode. They really dont seem to have a gear inbetween chilling out with their mobilephones and running amok with their mobilephones (and suits).

EVERYONE has got a mobilephone.

Old people read cartoons on the train.

Business-people read cartoons on the train.

Hardware stores, EVERYwhere.

Guys have the craziest hairdos.


There is a lot of other things, of course, but I've only really been here for a day, so I haven't noticed everything yet.



Speaking of having only been here for one day - today I went to a place called Akihabara, which is the place to go for electronics. It's where I bought my laptop as well. When I got the place recommended, I thought it was jsut the name of a building in which you could buy everything. But little did I know, that it was an entire district, dedicated solely to hardware and software and electronics in general. Imagine Kongens Lyngby, (you foreigners, imagine a small town instead, I dont care which one), only, instead of normal shops with clothes and shoes, all there is is small shops with wires, or cameras, or entire shops dedicated to selling SD cards and USB's. Sounds and music everywhere. 7-story arcades with horrible J-pop blaring out into the streets. Nintendoperipherals ALL over the place. iPods! Which are only about 500 kroner here btw. For a 64gig iPod Touch. I kid you not. !


So that is where I went and got me a cheap nice Japanese laptop. Spent a few hours there, and then went back to my room and installed and, now I'm writing this blog! enjoy attached videos
and pictures :)







Dual-screen laptop! Friggin awesome. The two screens would merge into a single screen by simply pushing them together. Japanese goodness!













Tiny laptop!












Toilet-control-panel. If your butt is just too damn cold to poop, we now have the Heated Toilet Seat. Does YOUR behind also get dirty when going to the toilet? FEAR NOT! For the Toilet-Sidepanel is here! Will rinse and clean with just the press of a button. First time users may find this slightly unnerving.
