    I just thought I would do I quick snap-shot of my life in Japan, now that I have discovered the wonder of image shack!

    First up is my gaming set up I had going, the black thing next to the psone is a 3do and take note of the Tokimeki av selector!

    This is where the uni where I was supposed to study, it is quite good apparently.

    My very own train, a very rare moment!

    What you have all been waiting for, me! in disney land with my lady of the moment. (good picture of her, not of me!)

    Edit - took the final pic down, cos I figured it was kinda mean on her, if she didn't want her face all over the net.

    Went to the Vodafone shop today to get my phone back after it had been serviced (New casing, screen and buttons which I needed because I knackered the others playing too many games) only to find these very cool phone covers. THey only had them for one Toshiba model phone but I thought they were great. Turn your mobile in to a red demon !!

    Phones over there in Japan are funky! They prolly have some that can play N64 games on them, LOL! The technology is very advanced over there, am I wrong?

    Yeah, the phones here really are nice. We don't have phones that run any form of windows or stuff like that like some top end western phones but what we do have are phones that are fully mobile entertainment boxes. Mine plays games (PSX 3D Quality), has TV & FM Radio, MP4 auidio player, video AIF or MPEG4 player, video recoreder from the TV tuner (saves to SD cards since you only get about 5 minutes if using the phones memory), navigation with maps etc, 2.0 Mega Pixel camer (newer ones have 3.0 mega !!), video camera running at 320x240 resolution 20fps, text scanner and a shit load more crap like E-books, comics, inferred, motion sensor and on and on and on....... The latest phones have bloody surround sound speakers for christ sake !! Now they are just getting way too silly.

    Lmao @ hardgay.....truly bizzare. Its like a Japanese version of Ant & Dec were they have wheeled some drug addict out of rehab and put him against a gay guy to win a years supply of crack :p

    Thanks Yakumo for allowing us access to your FTP, and thanks for sharing all the wonderful videos :) Makes me want to move out of Liverpool and go to Japan like yourself :p

    Am I wrong when I say in Japan there is an amusement park made of inspiration of the Danish amusement park/garden Tivoli ?

    And some other "Danish" stuff ?

    WolverineDK - there is indeed a dutch theme park, indeed they may be two. For the English crew there is also a replica traditional English country village as well. It has proper thatched cottages and pubs to boot. Gotta remember if you don't want to deal with gaijin you can always visit the countrys in very "accurate" replicas.

    As you can see, Hard Gay is very popular in Japan. Makes you wonder doesn't it ?

    Indeed, yet most Japanese people I met were very suprised that I knew gay people! They really didn't believe me, I would be very surprised if MR HG was actually gay - he is just putting on a routine-foo. Odd really when homosexuality is so common in Japanese manga, etc, that actual homosexuality is still a bit of an oddity to your average Japanese person-foo!
