I received my first bill for my cell phone this week. How much? 7,200 Yen!
So if you`re thinking about having a cell phone in Japan, it`ll pay to think twice (or thrice!) about which phone company you want to subcribe to. I got myself an AU deal at the advice of my tutor but most students in Japan use Softbank. When buying, I couldn`t get the answers to all my questions, thanks to the language barrier, so I had no choice but just to buy one and so when I received my first bill, it was a real shocker. I then took Ronit (thanks bro!) and went over my phone plan once again and downgraded some of the features that I had initally subscribed to.
Today, I bought the latest Sony Handycam currently available on the market from Ishimaru in Tsukuba and I`m feeling very pleased with myself as I bought the handycam completely alone using the Japanese that I have learnt over the last 5 or so weeks. Costing me $125,000Y, the HDR-SR12 Sony Handycam Camcorder has a 120GB hard drive, is High Defintion (HD) with 1920x1080 recording, with Face Detection technology and ClearVid CMOS sensor...impressive desu ne?
