You mean to say you never saw the Retro Core feature in Volum e4 (I think) or saw the Sega World section on my site ? You must get yourself over to http://www.segagagadomain.com/ and check out the gaming in Japan section. It is a bit old now though.Originally Posted by PhantasyStar

Ewwwwwww bugs !!!!! i hate them a lot, luckily living on the 9th floor we rarely ever see any bugs in the house.
I was bored today so I took a few random pictures.
How would you like these two Dragon Quest blobs to protect your car?
Below you can see 7 Eleven. Not to be mistaken for the US chain eventhough it's the same name and logo it's actually owned by a japanese company. I guess they just bought the name. Anyway, 7 Eleven in japan is a very clean place with everything you could want from boxies to butties :p Then even have ATMs, Fax services, print service and post service. Very hand place indeed. Oh and it's 24 hours. they can be found EVERYWHERE !!!
These train signs maybe able to put some of you thinking of coming to Japan at ease. There are two main types of train signs at stations in Japan. THey all have English, Hiragana and of course the Kanji. So you'll never have to worry at getting off at the wrong station. Only the most remote places don't have English.
This sign is taken in Nishi Kokura (a big city with many "gaijins")
This sign is taken at my train station in a small town in the country that has 3 "gaijins" including me :p
As you can see, both types of sign tell you where you are, the next station and the one you just came from all in English.
Coca Cola are giving away free Lupin III characters again with 500 ml bottles of Coke. Here's a few shots of the one I got today. I took these pictures in work today while sitting at my desk waiting for 5:15 to role by. As you can tell I was bored !!!

:smt045 !
More pointless crap images from me today :p
Looks like Pepsi are getting desperate to win at least 1 fan in Japan. Now they have these very nice Episode III bottle cans. The drink still taste like piss though. By the way, many of you may not know this but Japanese coke and Pepsi taste different than the western versions. They seem to be less sweet. Today I drank a can of coke from Singapore which tasted really sweet. Nothing like the Japanese version which I like. Anyway, don't make this in to a "Hey Pepsi is miles better than coke" thread please.
I was also last out of the office today so I had to lock up. Pretty creepy walking around the building without a soul in it !
My company's office is just down this long corridor that you can see above. We are on the 8th floor which has two distinctively different views.
Over to the left we have a snooty Hotel and a few other office buildings.
And to the right we have the docks belonging to the Asian Pacific Import Mart.
Big news here in Japan is that Panasonic after feeling the bite of not having a console on the market have decided to join forces with Microsoft and integrate XBOXes with their own TVs :D :lol:

I ended up living in Japan by quitting my job in the UK then getting off my arse and came over. At first I took any job that would keep me here and yes, I knew almost no Japanese. I was a waiter in a stake house, part time English teacher, handed out those tissues (any who has been to Japan will now what I mean) and did a bit of proofreading. From there I sort of studied Japanese :p found a nice woman (on my birthday :D) from then on things were on the up until we split a year later. But I did finally get a full time job (teaching English) This was all 6 or 7 years ago now. I still remember it like it was yesterday. It's also one of the reasons why I don't like going back to Tokyo very often. Too many good and bad memories plus it makes me feel old :( I was 22 when I came to this country and now I'm 29 going on to 30 in November. Ahh,........... I wish I was 22 back in Tokyo living the wonderful free life of a young man.
Now you've made me all depressed :smt022 :smt022 :smt022 Ah, but wait ! I have some great friends now where I live so it's not that bad I guess :smt023
